Environmental assessment of urban wastewater reuse: Treatment alternatives and applications
TL;DR: Life Cycle Assessment is used to evaluate different disinfection treatments and to assess the environmental advantages and drawbacks of urban wastewater reuse in non-potable applications and to compare the environmental impacts of producing 1m(3) of water from reclaimed water, potable water and desalinated water sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
LCA as a decision support tool for the environmental improvement of the operation of a municipal wastewater treatment plant.
TL;DR: The best environmental option for the final destination of the sludge is to combine the current situation (fertilizer replacement) with use of theSludge in a cement plant (as a replacement for fuel and raw material).
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental assessment of urban water cycle on Mediterranean conditions by LCA approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Life Cycle Assessment methodology to carry out an environmental analysis of every stage of the urban water cycle in Tarragona, a Mediterranean city of Spain (scenario I).
Journal ArticleDOI
The carbon footprint and energy consumption of beverage packaging selection and disposal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the environmental impact of the commonest packaging options on the Spanish market for juice, beer and water and found that the packaging options with the lowest environmental impacts were aseptic carton and plastic packaging (for sizes greater than 1 l).
Journal ArticleDOI
Life Cycle Assessment of Urban Wastewater Reclamation and Reuse Alternatives
