Cobalt and Phosphorous Recovery from Semiconductor Wastewater through Homogeneous Crystallization of Cobalt Phosphate in a Fluidized-bed Reactor
Bayon L., Ballesteros Jr. F., Segura-Garcia S., (Corresponding) Lu M.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Semiconductor manufacturing involves distinct processes that generate complex wastewater streams that require treatment before it proceeds to the main wastewater effluents. The present study utilized fluidized-bed crystallization to recover resources from the combined synthetic wastewater of...Read more
Mine water management in abandoned mine sites: from waste to resource
(Corresponding) LOREDO J.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Mine water usually supposes one of the most important environmental problems of the extractive industry, where water quality is dependent of a great number of factors relatives to the ore deposit characteristics and to the exploitation method typology. But if water quality by nature or after...Read more

Enabling the Total Resource Utilization (TRU) Habitat
Tsantrizos P., (Corresponding) Curry N.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Terragon Environmental Technologies Inc. has developed a suite of user-friendly technologies to treat solid and liquid byproducts of human consumption now considered “waste” and convert them into “resources” that can be re-used in the same place in which they are generated (in situ). These...Read more

Green Jobs in multinational companies - an initial network and content analysis
(Corresponding) Piwowar-Sulej K., Ferasso M., Sulich A.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
Several current research studies on green jobs focus mostly on rural areas and analyze this problem in the context of Circular Economy or specific industries. However, the context of multinational companies is still uncovered. This study aims at mapping the field by relating the Green Jobs in...Read more

Strategies for the improvement of VFAs recovery in the nanofiltration process within the circular economy framework
Pervez M., Uwineza C., Sapmaz T., Mahboubi A., Hasan ., Cai Y., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Taherzadeh ., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Food waste
Over the past decades, the anaerobic digestion (AD) process has been employed as a potential medium to produce valuable resources from the waste-based feedstock. Moreover, the use of AD technology can generate not only resources, but it also creates an avenue for useful chemicals recovery to...Read more
An overview of pressure-driven membrane technologies for a sustainable recovery of volatile fatty acids (VFAs)
Pervez M., Mahboubi A., Hasan S., Cai Y., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Taherzadeh M., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Food waste
Currently, petroleum-based volatile fatty acids (VFAs) sources are not acceptable towards sustainable development goals (SDG); therefore, biobased-derived VFAs are of interest. Anaerobic digestion has been identified as a useful technology for the production of biobased VFAs from organic waste...Read more
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
Technological solutions for giving a new life to power plants of alternative energy: social, economic, and environmental assessment of end of life scenarios
(Corresponding) Ambrosino C., Giaquinto D., Maselli G., Nesticò A., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The resources on the planet are not unlimited and special attention has been paid to alternative energies in recent years.
Alternative (or renewable) energy are all those energy sources that do not come from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). To date, wind and solar energy are the main...Read more

Application of cutting-edge environmental technologies for the development of resilient and sustainable cities
(Corresponding) Senatore V., Giaquinto D., Zarra T., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The development of resilient and sustainable cities emerged as a solution to tackle the several challenges arising from the exponential growth of urban areas population worldwide. The implementation of environmental technologies represents a solution to minimize negative impacts of crowded cities...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
