Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Smart Solutions for Wastewater: Road-mapping the Transition to Circular Economy

Smart Solutions for Wastewater: Road-mapping the Transition to Circular Economy presents an up-to-date information on research and technological developments of resource recovery in wastewater treatment in terms of carbon, nutrients and energy. It fulfils the gaps and current challenges that hinder the application of resource recovery facilities in wastewater treatment plants, discusses knowledge gaps and provides future research perspectives. It discusses the strategies to solve the problems from a circular economy perspective. It provides an excellent, concise, interdisciplinary and updated overview of technologies in terms of potential recovered yields, pollutants removal, nutrients recovery and energy production, as well as the achievement of energy efficiency of the process itself. Covers different aspects of resource recovery technologies and research gaps in wastewater treatment Focuses on different MBR configurations and systems/hybrid systems in treating a large variety of wastewaters Provides state-of-the-art technology development: technology, advantages and challenges as well as the strategies to overcome the limitations Includes technologies in managing sewage sludge in order to foster solutions for recovering in a circular economy context INDICE: 1.
