Reduction of Cost and Environmental Impact in the Treatment of Textile Wastewater Using a Combined MBBR-MBR System
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-11-19)
Article
Open AccessA hybrid Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor—Membrane Bioreactor (MBBR-MBR) was developed for the treatment of wastewater from a Spanish textile company. Compared with conventional activated sludge (CAS) treatment, the feasibility ... -
A comparative study of the contact fatigue behavior and associated damage micromechanisms of TiN- and WC:H-coated cold-work tool steel
(2015-08-01)
Article
Open AccessIn this study the contact fatigue behavior of two coated tool steel is compared. They differ in the chemical nature of the coatings as well as on the deposition route used: a conventional TiN coating prepared by cathodic ... -

(2020-11-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyElectric vehicles (EVs) are considered a viable alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) and as a result of recent advances in battery technologies, sales are increasing year by year. However, recycling ... -
Textile microfibers reaching aquatic environments: a new estimation approach
(2020-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTextile microfibers are one of the most important sources within primary microplastics. These have raised environmental concerns since its recent identification as pollutants. However, there are still no accurate models ... -
Cigarette butts as a microfiber source with a microplastic level of concern
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicroplastic pollution is a growing environmental concern among the scientific community. These small particles (<5 mm) might come from the fragmentation or direct emission of artificial and synthetic polymers. Among them, ... -

(2020-05-05)
Article
Open AccessIn this study, three different biological methods—a conventional activated sludge (CAS)system, membrane bioreactor (MBR), and moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR)—were investigatedto treat textile wastewater from a local ... -
Economic analysis of the disassembling activities to the reuse of electric vehicles Li-ion batteries
(2020-02-19)
Article
Open AccessElectric vehicles (EVs) are massively entering the mobility services. However, the high costs of their batteries, and thus of the vehicles, represent a real barrier that refrain consumers from buying EVs. In order to ... -
