The Lombard Dairy Industry in the Perspective of Circular Economy: Degree of Application and Improvement Potentials
(Corresponding) Mehner E., Fantin V., Pizzichini D., Vergalli S., Vaccari M.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Circular Economy is an economic concept, aiming at increasing resource efficiency, recirculating resource streams and minimizing waste of an industrial process. Thereby, ideally, environmental impacts can be decreased while the profitability of the considered process is improved. This concept is...Read more
A comparison of electrooxidation of phenol on boron doped diamond and mixed metal oxide anodes
Djuricic T., Prosen H., Kravos A., Micin S., (Corresponding) Malinovic B.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Phenolic compounds are widespread in wastewater from various industries. Since the phenols are potentially carcinogenic for humans and hazardous for the environment, their presence in wastewater raises concerns. In this paper electrooxidation process was used for treatment of synthetical prepared...Read more
Feasibility of coupling hydrogen and methane production during sewage sludge digestion
Ellacuriaga M., Aguilar-Pesantes A., (Corresponding) Gómez X.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Anaerobic digestion is a technology widely used for the stabilisation of sewage sludge in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). This technology presents several advantages such as the production of energy and the use of this energy to cover the demand of the treatment plant. However, sludge digestion...Read more

Low temperature conversion of methanol to higher hydrocarbons and hydrogen using a non-thermal plasma
(Corresponding) Dahiru U., Zhang K., Harvey A.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
In recent years, the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from chemical manufacturing plants, agricultural practises, and indoor sources has attracted public concern, as these emissions have a negative effect on both human health and the environment. VOCs are precursor for the formation of...Read more
