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 ...
Análisis y modelación de los procesos atmosféricos durante condiciones de brisa en la costa mediterránea occidental : zona de Castellón
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 ...
Hybrid systems for wastewater treatment in the framework of circular economy : coupling biological and membrane technologies for a sustainable water cycle
The increasing water demand coupled to the depletion of natural water sources has raised the need to investigate and develop in wastewater treatment and reuse. Even more, the application of circular economy principies to ...
Sustainable business model perspectives for the electric vehicle industry : the case of battery second use
The purpose of this doctoral research dissertation is to examine sustainable business model (SBM) perspectives for the rapidly developing Battery Second Use (B2U) market within the emerging electric vehicle (EV) industry. ...
Approach to acoustic mapping through continuous mobile monitoring
For the production of representative noise maps, a large amount of information is necessary, which includes, among others, on-site measurements of environmental noise. Thus, for noise maps based on measurements, mobile ...
Advances in life cycle assessment of plastics with mineral fillers in packaging applications
Mineral masterbatches, in other words mineral fillers, are concentrates of calcium carbonate or talc in a polymer base. In addition to their optimal cost, their use improves mechanical properties of materials and reduce ...
Subsurface as a bioreactor : interaction between physical heterogeneity and microbial processes
Infiltration systems are water treatment technologies where water vertically percolates through porous media while several biogeochemical processes occur. Biofilms are the main responsible for those biogeochemical processes ...
Contributions to the determination of thermal behaviour of façades using quantitative internal IRT (Infrared Thermography)
Within the European framework, most of residential buildings do not satisfy the minimum thermal specifications. In fact, the renovation rate across the EU is estimated at 1% per year. To fulfil with the goals stated by ...
Determination of key master variables and radionuclide behavior in the Swedish Final Repository environment
Aquesta tesi doctoral investiga els processos clau que controlen la mobilitat d'alguns dels radionúclids sensibles al redox presents en els residus (U, Pu i Tc) i Ni com a radionúclid crític, en el repositori “Swedish Final ...
Syntrophic acetate oxidation in the anaerobic digestion of nitrogen-rich wastes : from microbial interactions to process optimization
The anaerobic digestion (AD) consists of a cascade of syntrophic interactions between several microbial groups that result in the breakdown of biodegradable organic matter in the absence of oxygen, resulting in the production ...
Strategies to enhance microalgae anaerobic digestion in wastewater treatment systems : pretreatments and co-digestion
Microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems are promising solutions to shift the paradigm from wastewater treatment to energy and resources recovery. In these systems, microalgae assimilate nutrients and produce oxygen ...
