Circular Economy in the Management of Wastewater Treatment Plant: A Business Model Approach

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The water and wastewater management sector faces many challenges related to the implementation of a circular economy (CE). To date, sectoral CE solutions have focused mainly on technological innovations, with limited attention paid to social and economic aspects.

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Stabilization phase trials and comparison with winery wastewater treatment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Performance evaluation of the waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process for septic wastewater treatment. Abstract The waste‐activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process is evaluated as a batch‐mode pre‐treatment for actual septage using a high‐rate contact stabilization (HRCS) approach.

Effects of Microplastic Pollution on Growth, Photosynthesis, and Nutritional Composition of Maize (Zea mays L.)

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Microplastic (MP) contamination in agroecosystems is an increasingly recognized environmental concern, whereas its polymer‐specific impacts on plant growth and nutritional composition remain poorly understood. Aim Our study aimed to evaluate how polymer type and concentration of MPs directly affect plant growth, physiological traits,

Perspectives of High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry in Soil Science

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil biogeochemical research requires specific, sensitive, and accurate methods to identify and quantify organic molecules in order to trace biochemical processes and assess element cycling in complex, heterogenous systems. High‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has evolved into a transformative tool for unraveling the complex chemical ...

Manure Composting as a Strategy to Mitigate Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination in Agricultural Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Livestock manure is a valuable agricultural resource but may introduce antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. This review critically evaluates the fate of antibiotics and ARGs during manure composting and identifies the principal factors controlling their attenuation.

Trace Element Uptake by Willows Used for the Phytoremediation of Biosolids

Life, 2023
The land application of biosolids can result in the unacceptable accumulation of Trace Elements (TEs) in agricultural soil and potentially introduce xenobiotics and pathogens into the food chain.
