Advanced Biological, Physical, and Chemical Treatment of Waste Activated Sludge (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781138541184)

Dr. Antoine Trzcinski received his PhD from the chemical engineering Department of Imperial College London in the United Kingdom. He developed a novel process for producing biogas from municipal solid waste and for the treatment of landfill leachate. As a senior Research fellow in the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute he continued working on solid waste treatment such as waste activated sludge and wastewater treatment in anaerobic membrane bioreactors. He developed novel combinations of pre-treatments of waste activated sludge that result in greater biogas production. He was granted three patents from this work in collaboration with the Public Utilities Board of Singapore. His research interests include fouling mitigation in membrane bioreactors, characterization of soluble microbial products, identification of bacterial and archaeal strains, pharmaceutical and antibiotics removal from wastewater, fate of nanoparticles in the environment and bioelectro stimulation of microbes to improve bioprocesses through interspecies electron transfer (IET). In 2016, He joined the University of Southern Queensland as lecturer and teaches Environmental engineering, Environmental Engineering Practice, Hydraulics, Solid and Liquid Waste Treatment and Applied Chemistry and Microbiology as well as continuing his research in these fields.
