A Review of Phosphorus Removal Technologies and Their Applicability to Small-Scale Domestic Wastewater Treatment Systems
TL;DR: In this article, a review of P-removal technologies for small-scale applications is presented, with the goal of determining which treatment options are amenable to small scale applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle assessment of wastewater treatment in developing countries: A review.
TL;DR: The estimation of more site-specific databases, characterization factors, or normalization and weighting values combined with more affordable access to background databases and LCA software, would deeply increase the accuracy of WWT-related LCAs in developing countries.

Sustainability assessment of wastewater reuse alternatives using the evidential reasoning approach
Ali Akhoundi,Sara Nazif +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the evidential reasoning (ER) approach which is a multi-criteria decision making method for dealing with problems having both quantitative and qualitative criteria under uncertainties, is used for prioritizing the wastewater reuse applications as well as wastewater treatment technologies.

Anthropogenic nutrients and eutrophication in multiple land use watersheds: best management practices and policies for the protection of water resources.
Xana Álvarez,Enrique Valero,Roberto Ventura Santos,Simone Varandas,L.F. Sanches Fernandes,Fernando António Leal Pacheco +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a model that allows us to detect the spatial level where the main problems that trigger eutrophication occur in the A Baxe dam reservoir (Galicia, Northern Spain).
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle assessment and costing of wastewater treatment systems coupled to constructed wetlands
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the environmental and economic performance of two decentralized, small-scale, wastewater treatment systems coupled to constructed wetlands, and the impact assessment was based on the ReCIPe method.

Horizontal sub-surface flow and hybrid constructed wetlands systems for wastewater treatment
TL;DR: The first experiments using wetland macrophytes for wastewater treatment were carried by out by Kathe Seidel in Germany in early 1950s as mentioned in this paper and the horizontal sub-surface flow constructed wetlands (HF CWs) were initiated by Seidel and improved by Reinhold Kickuth under the name Root Zone Method in late 1960s and early 1970s and spread throughout Europe in 1980s and 1990s.

A review on nitrogen and organics removal mechanisms in subsurface flow constructed wetlands: dependency on environmental parameters, operating conditions and supporting media.
Tanveer Saeed,Guangzhi Sun +1 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of wetland structures, classic and novel nitrogen and organics removal mechanisms along with the key environmental parameters and operational conditions that enhance removal in subsurface flow wetland systems shows the necessity of a profound knowledge on the complicated inter-relationship between nitrogen and Organics removal routes, governing environmental and operational parameters, and wetland matrix for improving the treatment performances of subsurfaced flow wetlands.
