Towards sustainable wastewater treatment: membrane patterning and vibration
Understanding MBRs and the Fouling Challenge Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) play a vital role in wastewater treatment by combining biological treatment processes with membrane filtration. They offer improved effluent quality at a
Protonic Ceramic Electrochemical Cells for Sustainable Hydrogen Production
Protonic ceramic electrochemical cells can be an efficient tool for green hydrogen production, offering an alternative to the use of high temperatures, since they need lower activation energy than oxygen-ion
Anaerobic membrane technology for urban wastewater treatment
Urban wastewater treatment reduces or eliminates the load of pollutants in wastewater. The process improves the quality of the wastewater before it is discharged and, consequently, it avoids damage to
Industrial and Urban Symbiosis in the Food Industry
The Industrial and Urban Symbiosis can ensure a more efficient use of resources in many sectors of our economy. Food production is among them and the SYMSITES project studied solutions
Adsorption technology, an innovative approach to water treatment
During the last decades, the climate crisis, increasing global population, uncontrolled economic development and different anthropogenic interventions on the environment have been negatively impacting the water cycle. Gradually, different regions of
From non-recyclable solid waste to high-value resources: the case of biochar production
Non-recyclable solid waste can be used to produce high-value new resources. This is possible thanks to a thermochemical process known as Pyrolysis. Pyrolysis converts organic matter into fuel, with high yield,
Unlocking the Sustainability Benefits: The importance of the Assessment
In the transition pathway from a linear towards a circular economic model, it is fundamental to evaluate the transition performance according to sustainability principles. In fact, only proper assessment can
