Colloids are known to be the often neglected phase for the transport of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. The book covers the basics of abiotic colloid characterization, of biocolloids and biofilms, the resulting transport phenomena and their engineering aspects. The subject is presented from an international group of leading specialists devoted to colloidal sciences. The contributions include theoretical considerations, results from model experiments as well as field studies. The information given will serve students and scientists interested in the analytical, chemical, microbiological,...

Biofouling is a costly problem, and it is encountered in a wide spectrum of technical systems, ranging from the shipping industry, power industry, water purification, automobile industry, paint and pharmaceuticals, to the microelectronics and food industries. Micro- and macroorganisms attach to surfaces and accumulate there, forming biofilms that cause interferences - a fundamentally natural process. Usually, a medical paradigm is applied: kill biofilms and the problem is solved. This leads to excessive biocide use. However, the success of this strategy is very limited; furthermore it...

Was haben Mikrobiologie und Okologie der Abwassertechnik zu bieten? Zur Optimierung der Abwasserreinigung sowie zur Fruherkennung und Vermeidung von Storungen ist es notwendig, die Organismen zu kennen, von denen die Reinigungsleistung vollbracht wird, und zu wissen, welche Wechselwirkungen sie untereinander entwickeln und wie sich Veranderungen des Nahrstoffangebots auf Zusammensetzung und Effektivitat der Population auswirken. Daruberhinaus bietet die mikrobielle Okologie auch Ansatze, die biologischen Ursachen von Schwimmschlamm, Blahschlamm und Schaumbildung besser zu verstehen und ihnen...

Biofouling is a costly problem. In this book, strategies to prevent adhesion, to mitigate the extent and effects of biofouling, and to detect and remove fouling layers are presented. Holistic approaches to the fouling process are elaborated upon.

Living in biofilms is the common way of life of microorganisms, transiently immobilized in their matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), interacting in many ways and using the matrix as an external digestion and protection system. This is how they have organized their life in the environment, in the medical context and in technical systems -- and has helped make them the oldest, most successful and ubiquitous form of life. In this book, hot spots in current biofilm research are presented in critical and sometimes provocative chapters. This serves a twofold purpose: to provide an...

Microbial growth and contamination ("Biofouling") in water systems represents a significant threat to the quality of waters produced for the microelectronic, pharmaceutical, petroleum, paper, food and other manufacturing industries. Biofouling can lead to biologically induced corrosion ("Biocorrosion"), which can cause severe damage to the equipment. Both biofouling and biocorrosion are frequently not recognized in time, underestimated, or linked with the wrong causes. The book represents a new approach by introducing biofilm properties and dynamics as basic principles of biofouling and...

Membranprozesse sind sehr empfindlich gegen Belagsbildung. Wenn solche Bel ge aus Mikroorganismen bestehen, spricht man von Biofouling. Biofouling bewirkt eine Verringerung von Permeatleistung und -qualit t und eine Erh hung des Energiebedarfs bei Membranprozessen. In der Praxis geh rt Biofouling noch zu den am wenigsten beherrschten Problemen. Heute wird es mit Bioziden bek mpft. Die Effektivit t solcher Strategien ist h ufig unzureichend, au erdem entsteht eine erh hte Belastung des Abwassers. In diesem Buch wird detailliert das Hintergrundwissen vermittelt, wie es zu Biofouling kommt, es...

Microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are the key components for the aggregation of microorganisms in biofilms, flocs and sludge. They are composed of polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and other biological macromolecules. EPS provide a highly hydrated gel matrix in which microbial cells can establish stable synergistic consortia. Cohesion and adhesion as well as morphology, structure, biological function and other properties such as mechanical stability, diffusion, sorption and optical properties of microbial aggregates are determined by the EPS matrix. Also, the...

Was ware die biologische Abwasserreinigung ohne Mikroorganismen? Die Ant wort auf diese Frage ist zweifellos trivial. Nicht trivial ist aber die Antwort auf die Ab Frage nach den Mikroorganismen selbst, die in Anlagen zur biologischen wasserreinigung tatig werden und uns helfen, die Qualitat unserer Grund- und Oberflachengewasser zu verbessern und langfristig auf einem hohen Niveau zu halten. Ober ein Jahrhundert hinweg haben sich Wissenschaftler und Praktiker bemiiht, die Artenzusammensetzung mikrobieller Lebensgemeinschaften in ihrer Abhangigkeit von den vorherrschenden Milieufaktoren...
