Investigating techno-economic feasibility of biologically pretreated textile wastewater treatment by electrochemical oxidation process towards zero sludge concept

TL;DR: In this paper, an electrochemical oxidation (EO) technique was attempted to remove COD and colour from the biologically pre-treated textile wastewater as an advanced oxidation process, which was performed using a small reactor setup with titanium (Ti) and stainless steel (SS 304) as an anode and cathode respectively.

Life cycle assessment and textile chemicals

S. Roos, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the achievements to date in the area of life cycle assessment of textile chemicals and present several challenges that have to be overcome, for which current status as well as recent developments are described.

The pollution challenge

Tania Burnham
TL;DR: In this paper, staff are encouraged to draw an upcoming competition by the Environment Agency to the attention of students, which is looking for novel solutions to solve urban diffuse pollution issues, such as air pollution.

Technological transitions as evolutionary reconfiguration processes: a multi-level perspective and a case-study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the question of how technological transitions (TT) come about and identify particular patterns and mechanisms in transition processes, defined as major, long-term technological changes in the way societal functions are fulfilled.

More evolution than revolution: transition management in public policy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the example of a transition to a low emission energy supply in the Netherlands to argue that transition management provides a basis for coherence and consistency in public policy and can be the spur to sustainable development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward a spatial perspective on sustainability transitions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that there are two interrelated problems requiring attention: the institutional embeddedness of socio-technical development processes within specific territorial spaces, and an explicit multi-scalar conception of socio technical trajectories.

Towards a spatial perspective on sustainability transitions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a conceptual framework for better understanding geographical dimensions of sustainability transitions, and begin to highlight some of the boundary boundaries of transition networks, and explicitly acknowledge and investigate a variety of transition pathways.

Mapping and navigating transitions—The multi-level perspective compared with arenas of development

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the two approaches based on three concerns in relation to transition studies: conflicts are important elements of change helping actors to navigate, and actors engage at all levels in society including visions, institutions, and innovations.
