Phosphorus (P) recovery from wastewater has considerable potential to supplement limited fossil P reserves. Reliable cost data are essential for investor and policymaker decisions. In this study, investment operational costs nine processes were calculated the investor's perspective, taking into account all relevant side effects on sludge treatment or plant. The assessment was based pilot full-scale which thoroughly consolidated standardized with technical German wastewater-sludge train...
<title>Abstract</title> Accelerating climate actions is critically urgent, but its progress hinges on the availability of materials. As production materials for renewable energy infrastructure requires energy, there an inherent feedback loop between and material systems. Transition models often ignore supply constraints, yet as transition ambitions grow, loops become increasingly significant. Based a novel approach, we show how dynamic shape fast pathways exemplified interactions aluminum....
Layer-by-layer membrane modification yields acid resistant membranes for selective scandium recovery from wastes.
Limiting climate heating while meeting basic needs for all necessitates large-scale deployment of renewable energy. Understanding the dynamics mobilizing materials transition requires considering: 1) availability resources in environment and technosphere; 2) accessibility depending on resource quality available technologies; 3) processability energy availability, processing capacity, impacts planetary boundaries; 4) operability social acceptance geopolitical agreements. Materials can be...
Nanofiltration (NF) can enable P recovery from waste streams via retaining multivalent impurities spent pickling acid. However, with the currently available membranes, an economically feasible process is impossible. Layer-by-layer modified NF membranes are a promising solution for of acidic leachate. LbL show high level versatility in terms fine tuning ion retention, which necessary to achieve sufficient phosphorus yields. stability layer-by-layer during phosphoric acid (H3PO4) filtration...
The lack of high-grade scandium (Sc) ores and recovery strategies has stimulated research on the exploitation non-ore-related secondary sources that have great potential to safeguard critical raw materials supply EU's economy. Waste may satisfy growing global Sc demand, specifically residues from titanium dioxide (TiO2) production. New technologies are being developed for such residues; however, possible environmental impacts intermediary products usually not considered. In order provide a...
Limiting climate heating while meeting basic needs of all necessitates eliminating fossil carbon emissions. This paper discusses the dynamics mobilizing materials required for large-scale deployment renewable energy, which entail: 1) availability resources in environment and technosphere; 2) accessibility, depends on resource quality available technologies; 3) processability, energy availability, processing capacity, environmental impacts planetary boundaries; 4) operability, social...
