Spatio-temporal association of physic characteristics and chemical composition of the atmosphere with human mortality data
Air pollution is an environmental challenge that has an important influence on the life of human beings. Therefore, the development, implementation, and evaluation of new statistical approaches will improve the numerical ...
Life cycle assessment of the cabin waste management in the aviation sector
Air transport, in 2018, was the means of transport chosen by 8.8 billion people around the world. This is a sector that expected continued passenger growth in the following years, but due to the current effects of the ...
Constructed wetlands for winery wastewater treatment: Sustainability and circular economy in the wine sector
The wine industry generates large volumes of wastewater originating from various processes and operations carried out during wine production. Winery wastewater (WWW) is characterized by highly variable flows and loadings. ...
Sistemas de Gestión de Residuos Sólidos Urbanos (RSU) : Metodología para el análisis técnico-económico con valoración de las externalidades y casos de estudio
Currently, there is a serious problem due to the large generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) due to the high consumption rates of the population and the short time of use of the products. Moreover, there is poor waste ...
lntensification of mixing and homogenisation of culture medium in photobioreactors for microalgae production
Due to the large volume of the processed medium in pilot or industrial cultivation systems, it is difficult to illuminate the entire layer of the culture medium, which results in the formation of dark zones. Due to ...
Biogás para cocción a partir de la digestión anaerobia de pastos en zonas rurales de clima tropical
Energy for cooking is the most essential energy service for peasants in countries with tropical climates such as Colombia where a large number of families can only access to firewood as energy source. An alternative energy ...
Dynamics of ultrafine particles and tropospheric ozone episodes
Atmospheric aerosol particles, particularly ultrafine particles (UFPs; particles with less than 100 nm in diameter), and tropospheric ozone (O3) are atmospheric pollutants highly influenced by photochemical reactions, i.e., ...
Development and evaluation of a street-scale air quality modelling system for the city of Barcelona
Air pollution is known to cause detrimental health effects in cities and specially on the most vulnerable population. Having access to reliable air pollutant concentration data at street-level in urban areas can be crucial ...
High rate algal ponds for post-treating sewage from UASB reactors : treatment efficiency, anaerobic co-digestion and sustainability
This PhD thesis aimed at evaluating the performance of high rate algal ponds (HRAP) to post-treat the anaerobic effluent from an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor fed with sewage. The work analysed the system ...
Study of a hybrid system : Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor-Membrane Bioreactor (MBBR-MBR) in the treatment and reuse of textile industrial effluents
Textile wastewater often shows high color concentration, containing a large range of organic chemicals, with high chemical oxygen demand as well as hard-degradation materials. Therefore, understanding and developing effective ...
Data–driven Bayesian networks modelling to support decision–making : application to the context of Sustainable Development Goal 6 on water and sanitation
We live in a complexand interconnected world which permeates ditterent scales. sectors or decision problems. This fact is acknowledged by the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which underscores current ...
Selenium and zinc enriched bioproducts generated from wastewater as micronutrient feed supplements and biofertilizers
This thesis aimed to explore the potential of Se/Zn-enriched bioproducts produced from wastewater treatment processes by eco-technologies (phytoextraction, bioreduction and microalgae-based systems) as Se/Zn feed supplements ...
Experimental and numerical modelling of CO2 behaviour in the soil-atmosphere interface : implications far risk assessment of carbon capture storage projects
CO2 geological storage is considered one of the options technologically viable in order to decrease the industrial emissions of this gas species that strongly contribute to the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere (IPCC, ...
Análisis de ciclo de vida de sistemas innovadores de almacenamiento eléctrico en litio-azufre (Li-S) para vehículos
The continuous and expected increase of electrification in the transport sector, the so-called "electromobility" revolution, is one of the main drivers of progress in energy storage for vehicle propulsion. Today's electric ...
Propuesta metodológica para estimar N2O en inventarios de emisión y evaluaciones de eco-eficiencia en plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales
A wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is a system that aims to reduce the negative impact to bodies of water where the effluent is discharged. reducing the pollutants discharged. Treatment plants have an impact on the ...
Recovery of phycobiliproteins and biogas from microalgae treating wastewater
Water is undoubtedly the most essential resource of humanity. However. supplying the human population with clean water has been a major challenge for decades. Contaminants in wastewaters endanger water bodies and the ...

En la presente Memoria se analizan y simulan los procesos atmosféricos en un emplazamiento costero con orografía accidentada, situado en las proximidades de Castellón, incluyendo las influencias que las peculiaridades, ...
Formation and evolution of carbonate phases upon accelerated carbonation of Mg-oxides and silicates
This work discloses new insights into the formation and evolution of Mg -carbonates as well as carbonation processes of Mg-rich oxides and silicates with the aim of providing a safe and permanent anthropogenic CO2 storage, ...
Seasonal Arctic sea ice predictability and prediction
Arctic sea ice plays a central role in the Earth’s climate. Changes in the sea ice on seasonal-to-interannual timescales impact ecosystems, populations and a growing number of stakeholders. A prerequisite for achieving ...
Constructed wetlands operated as bioelectrochemical systems for improvement and control of wastewater treatment
The objective of this work was the improvement and control of wastewater treatment using constructed wetlands operated as Microbial Fuel Cells (CW-MFCs) and Microbial Electrolysis Cells (CW-MECs). For this purpose, eight ...
