Environmental and economic assessment integrated into laboratory-based scenario development for the valorization of dredged sediment

(Corresponding) Soleimani T., Hayek M., Junqua G., Salgues M., Souche J.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
This study discusses the potential environmental and economic benefits of dredged sediment valorization in concrete in the framework of the circular economy. The goal is to find a sustainable way to use the sediment in concrete while maintaining its strength and not compromising the economy or...Read more

Nitrogen & Phosphorous Removal via Anaerobic / Anoxic-Aerobic Processes and Struvite Formation in Mall Wastewater: Performance of Retrofitted Full-Scale Plants

Maceda M., (Corresponding) Rollon A., Sinoy M.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
With the new standards on nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) in wastewater discharges from industrial, commercial and municipal wastewater, there is a need for better wastewater treatment systems. Moreover, with the presence of such N and P in wastewater, struvite formation leading to clogging of...Read more

Green Transformation of Organized Industrial Zones (OIZ) to Eco – Industrial Park (EIP): Experiences from Turkiye

(Corresponding) Dolgen D., Alpaslan M.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Turkiye has been encouraging the industries with green growth perspective and has supported this strategy towards the implementation of new eco industrial parks (EIP) as well as transform the existing organized industrial zones (OIZ) to green conditions. In order to achieve this strategy, certain...Read more

Use of food waste as culture media in biocementation for ground improvement applications

Mwandira W., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gunn M., Gray C.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The paper investigates the use of mixed fruit and vegetable (FV) waste to extract liquid to grow bacteria. The bacteria will be used to induce biocementation of soils and two metabolic pathways are examined. These are the ureolytic pathway and the carbonic anhydrase pathway (which absorbs CO2)...Read more

A truly circular process for recycling all main raw materials of waste of LCDs screens of smartphones

Martelo L., Silva M., Bacelo H., Bastos M., (Corresponding) Soares H.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
A liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen is composed by two transparent glasses coated with indium-tin oxide (ITO) on it and crystal liquids (LCs) sandwiched between them. The current implemented recycling process usually adopts mechanical crushing or pyrolysis as the primary LCDs screens treatment...Read more

Enhanced hydrogen production rates in Microbial Electrolysis Cell using Biocatalyst

(Corresponding) Gautam R., Ghosh U.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The energy consumption around the world has increased significantly and depleting reserves posing a major concern. The green energy sources are the need of the hour to counter the fuel scarcity and souring prices. Hydrogen production through a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is an effective and...Read more

Purification of municipal wastewater by electrocoagulation process

(Corresponding) Leovac Maćerak A., Duduković N., Slijepčević N., Volarić A., Tomašević Pilipović D., Bečelić-Tomin M., Kerkez Đ.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
In this work, the performance of electrocoagulation (EC) processes was investigated under currently defined operational conditions for the purification of municipal wastewater. The experimental removal efficiencies for COD, BOD, total P, turbidity and TSS were 55%, 60%, 79%, 89% and 86%,...Read more

Enabling sustainability and resilience in industries through the value chains’ circularity and digitalisation

(Corresponding) Aryblia M., Sarantinoudis N., Tsinarakis G., Arampatzis G.
Topic: 
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Living for the last decades in a linear world has emerged the necessity for resources reduction, reuse, and recycling, leaving behind the “take-make-waste” economic model and jumping over towards a cyclical ecologic system. Especially for the industrial environments, the efficient management of...Read more
