Artificial intelligence (AI) uses highly powerful computers to mimic human intelligent behavior; it is a major research hotspot in science and technology, with an increasing number of applications wider range fields, including complex process supervision control. Wastewater treatment example involving many uncertainties external factors achieve final product specific requisites (effluents prescribed quality). Reducing energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, resources recovery are...
In many Countries, small communities are required to treat wastewater discharges increasing standards of lesser environmental impacts, but must achieve that goal at locally sustainable costs. While biological membrane treatment (membrane bio-reactors (MBRs)) is quickly becoming the industry standard for centralized plants, and would also be ideally suited plants potentially subject relatively large hydraulic load variations, its investment operating costs usually high class applications....
Biogas will constitute a significant fraction of future power supply, since it is expected to contribute large share the EU renewable energy targets. Biogas, once produced, can be combusted in traditional boilers provide heat, or generate electricity. It used for production chemical compounds, fed into pipeline. This review paper briefly analyze current most promising emerging biogas technologies perspective their potential uses, environmental benefits, and public acceptance; draw picture...
Residual sludge disposal costs may constitute up to, and sometimes above, 50% of the total cost operation a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) contribute approximately 40% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with its operation. Traditionally, wastewater sludges are processed for: (a) reduction weight volume to facilitate their transfer subsequent treatments; (b) stabilization contained organic material destruction pathogenic microorganisms, elimination noxious odors, putrefaction...
Wastewater treatment processes produce large amounts of excess biological sewage sludge, which disposal requires energy and expenditure, is not devoid adverse environmental effects. Economic sustainability considerations suggest that embedded resources in sludge (energy, nutrients, raw materials process by-products) should be properly exploited to create consolidate a virtuous wastewater-based Circular Economy cycle. This paper presents review sludge-to-energy sludge-to-resources recovery...
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants, which use it as a basic fertilizer component and expected to increase significantly in the coming years due higher food crops demand. Unfortunately, available phosphorus natural reserves are not renewable, estimates indicate their rapid decline future. Urban wastewater, its abundance relatively high content, excellent candidate recovery, while element’s removal from urban effluents was introduced 1970′s limit undesired effects of...
To achieve technically-feasible and socially-desirable sustainable management of urban areas, new paradigms have been developed to enhance the sustainability water its resources in modern cities. Wastewater is no longer seen as a wasted resource, but rather, mining ground from which obtain valuable chemicals energy; for example, heat energy, often neglected, can be recovered wastewater different purposes. In this work, we analyze design application energy recovery heating cooling building...
Background. Few data are available regarding the prevalence of burnout among dialysis health care workers. Aims present study were to assess and compare levels in a sample nurses physicians working units, investigate their relationships with quality life, cross-sectional observational study. Methods. A total 344 workers from 10 centres Northern Italy completed battery questionnaires including Maslach Burnout Inventory, MOS-36 Item Short Form Health Survey [SF36: physical (PCS) mental (MCS)...
Purpose – Advancements in real-time water monitoring technologies permit rapid detection of quality, and threats from waste loads. Water Framework Directive mandating the establishment Member States’ resources monitoring, presence hazardous contaminants effluents, perception vulnerability distribution system to attacks, have spurred technical economic interests. The paper aims discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach As alternative traditional analyzers, chemosensors, operate...
