In a bio-based circular economy, domestic wastewater has a large role to play. By separating wastewater into different fractions at source, it is possible to create new pathways for recycling resources. In this book chapter we focus on the most nutrient-rich fraction, human urine. We present ...
Limits in resource availability are driving a change in current societal production systems, changing the focus from residues treatment, such as wastewater treatment, toward resource recovery. Biotechnological processes offer an economic and versatile way to concentrate and transform resources from waste/was...
Wastewater treatment is in a dilemma: more energy and efforts have to be put forth to obtain an effluent with better quality, while a significant amount of sludge is generated and the treatment or disposal expenses are high. Even if the sludge is disposed of properly, the components can be ...
Resource recoveryWastewaterAdaptive policymakingOrganic matterPhosphorusBiogasResources are becoming scarce. Therefore, reuse of resources is becoming more and more attractive. Wastewater can be used as a resource, since it contains many resources like organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen, heavy metals, ...
The ongoing paradigm shift in sewage management from pollution control to resource recovery is an integral part of a circular economy. Efforts have traditionally concentrated on the recovery of organic carbon as bioenergy, and nitrogen and phosphorus as
Results derived from the model forecasting highlight the role of bioenergy generation and reduced use of chemicals in improving the sustainability of WWTPs in developing countries. 展开 关键词: wastewater treatment paradigm shift resource recovery sustainability assessment net environmental benefit ...
