Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity of Semiconductor Nanocomposites Doped with Ag Nanoclusters Under UV and Visible Light
(MDPI, 2020)
Emerging contaminants (ECs) represent a wide range of compounds, whose complete elimination from wastewaters by conventional methods is not always guaranteed, posing human and environmental risks. Advanced oxidation processes ...
Fenton and Photo-Fenton Nanocatalysts Revisited from the Perspective of Life Cycle Assessment
(MDPI, 2020)
This study provides an overview of the environmental impacts associated with the production of different magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) based on magnetite (Fe3O4), with a potential use as heterogeneous Fenton or photo-Fenton ...
Environmental assessment of viticulture waste valorisation through composting as a biofertilisation strategy for cereal and fruit crops
(Elsevier, 2020)
Composting is a solid waste management alternative that avoids the emission of methane associated with its disposal in landfill and reduces or eliminates the need for chemical fertilisers if compost is applied. The main ...
Unravelling the environmental and economic impacts of innovative technologies for the enhancement of biogas production and sludge management in wastewater systems
(Elsevier, 2020)
The retrofitting of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) should be addressed under sustainability criteria. It is well known that there are two elements that most penalize wastewater treatment: (i) energy requirements and ...
What is the best scale for implementing anaerobic digestion according to environmental and economic indicators?
(Elsevier, 2020)
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are the most commonly used environmental management systems to ensure that water pollution is properly managed. The costs associated with energy consumption and sludge management are two ...
Environmental analysis of servicing centralised and decentralised wastewater treatment for population living in neighbourhoods
(Elsevier, 2020)
The planning and construction of large-scale wastewater infrastructure, such as sewerage networks and wastewater treatment plants, is undertaken by the public sector or by publicly regulated monopolies. Only on smaller ...
Unraveling the environmental impacts of bioactive compounds and organic amendment from grape marc
(Elsevier, 2020)
In a society that produces large amounts of solid waste, the search for new methods of valorisation has led to the development of techniques that make it possible to obtain new products from waste. In the case of bio-waste, ...
