There are approximately 608 million farms in the world, of which 84% are small farms and produce 35% of the world's food. Various training programs have been promoted by different organizations to achieve a more sustainable ...
This doctoral thesis focuses on the High Rate Activated Sludge (HRAS) process, which emerges as an alternative to the primary clarifier in activated sludge systems (CAS) to reduce energy consumption, analysing its effects ...
Water stands out as the most essential resource currently under serious threat. The combination of water scarcity and increasing pollution of available water poses significant challenges to governance and society. Typically, ...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is largely emitted in the ignition of fossil fuels for transport, electricity generation or other industrial processes. CO2 is an inorganic compound that exists naturally on Earth, but its concentration ...
The study of the geodiversity of an area and the conservation of its geological heritage, unlike biodiversity, has only recently begun to be systematized. This thesis analyses the conservation of geological heritage in ...
This doctoral thesis aims to identify and characterize the relationships between stakeholders and water resources through the sociocultural and spatial analysis of the water ecosystem services (WES) in the social-ecological ...
This thesis analyses the perception of climate change and problems with water perceived by lodging industry. 33 in-depth interviews to owners or managers of hotels, campsites and rural lodgings of the Muga river basin have ...
Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (METs) are a promising alternative for capturing and in-situ reducing CO2 through the use of renewable electricity. Microorganisms grown in autotrophic conditions use CO2 as an electron ...
The hay meadows in the Mediterranean region of Catalonia. Geobotanical characterisation, agri-environmental assessment, and study of the phytosociological relationships between hay meadows in Western Europe We locate ...
The anaerobic digestion of organic matter causes the formation of biogas that can be used in energy conversion systems for the production of electricity and heat, injection into the gas grid or as a fuel. However, biogas ...
The combination of two membrane technologies coupled together in series has become a standard technology when it comes to producing reclaimed water of high quality for potable reclamation or industrial applications. This ...
Increasing awareness on the limited nature of the raw materials for the production of inorganic fertilizer is pushing for a shift from removal to recovery of nutrients from waste streams. In municipal wastewater treatment ...
The sessile oak Quercus petraea is widespread in Central Europe. The populations in the NE Iberian Peninsula are at the southernmost limit of the species range, in the most Mediterranean-type conditions and at the xeric ...
This doctoral thesis has integrated biological models (activated sludge models “ASM”) with simulation tools of computational fluid dynamics “CFD”, and has applied them to the design of two advanced technologies for wastewater ...
The selection of the most appropriate wastewater treatment involves a complex decision making process. For that reason, some tools have been developed in recent years in order to deal with this complexity, as Novedar_EDSS ...
Border landscapes often constitute geographical unities which have experimented distinct landscapes dynamics in each side of the border. This fact occurs because these border landscapes belong to different countries. The ...
Tourism has become one of the most important economic sectors in the Mediterranean coast. Despite the economic benefits generated by tourism at local and regional level, the environmental impacts related to water consumption ...
The thesis deals with removal of organosilicon compounds in the energy recovery of biogas. Alternative adsorbents for the siloxane removal were studied, and the physical and chemical mechanisms involved in the siloxane ...
In 2015 the average concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere exceeded 400 ppm. Some technologies, including CO2 capture and storage, are palliative. However, the development of alternatives to burning of fossil fuels focuses ...
The research subject comes as a result of the need to implement sustainable practices in agriculture, in order to confront the environmental deterioration. The research aspires to explain the relation between peasant ...
