Nature-based solutions for wastewater treatment and bioenergy recovery: a comparative Life Cycle Assessment

Autor: Lucas Vassalle, Ivet Ferrer, Fabiana Passos, Cesar Rossas Mota Filho, Marianna Garfí

The aim of this study was to assess the environmental impacts of up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors coupled with high rate algal ponds (HRAPs) for wastewater treatment and bioenergy recovery using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodo

Alternatives to conventional inorganic fertilizers are needed to cope with the growing global population and contamination due to the production and use of those inorganic compounds. The recovery of nutrients from wastewater and organic wastes is a p

Selenium (Se) is an important element for many living organisms and its supplementation may be needed in food, feed, and soil to make up for its deficiency. At the same time, high selenium concentrations can harm the environment, thus its management
