Environmental impacts of resource recovery from wastewater treatment plants.
Xiaodi Hao,Xiangyang Wang,Ranbin Liu,Shuang Li,Mark C.M. van Loosdrecht,Mark C.M. van Loosdrecht,Han Jiang +6 more
TL;DR: The results clearly revealed that conventional WWTP does not benefit thetotal environment as a whole while the new scheme benefited the total environment via resource/energy recovery-based processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel energy assessment of urban wastewater treatment plants
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel method is proposed for assessing energy performance of wastewater treatment plants by coupling simple energy performance indicators with specific pollution removal efficiencies, in order to define some classes of energy performance depending on removal efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle assessment of nutrient recycling from wastewater: A critical review.
TL;DR: This review aims to evaluate how well the LCA methodology has been adapted and applied for assessing opportunities of wastewater-based nutrient recycling in the form of monomineral, multimineral, nutrient solution and organic solid, and synthesised some of their insights and methodological practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
A water-energy nexus review from the perspective of urban metabolism
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review on urban water-energy nexus from the perspective of urban metabolism is presented, with the objective of less independence and impact on eco-environment, making an inventory of alternative sources and associated optimized utilization pathways within urban water system context from resource management provision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advancements in sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems
TL;DR: A review of these advances with a focus on the themes of effective valorisation of bioenergy resources, energy-water nexus in wastewater treatment processes, optimized local energy supply for efficient and clean systems, solar energy technologies for the energy transition, and technologies for efficient combustion and electric transport are presented in the 12th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems as discussed by the authors.

Energy-nutrients-water nexus: integrated resource recovery in municipal wastewater treatment plants.
Weiwei Mo,Qiong Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: There is a need to evaluate the applications of the resource recovery methods in wastewater treatment plants from a life cycle perspective and the combined benefits and potential tradeoffs of these methods under different scales are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Sustainable Process Index a new dimension in ecological evaluation
TL;DR: The sustainable process index (SPI) as mentioned in this paper is a measure developed to evaluate the viability of processes under sustainable economic conditions, based on the assumption that in a truly sustainable society the basis of economy is the sustainable flow of solar exergy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential of (waste)water as energy carrier
TL;DR: In this paper, water is viewed as a carrier of energy and the recovery of chemical energy can be maximised by up-concentration of organic carbon and maximised sludge digestion or by source separation and anaerobic treatment.
