The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions due to anthropogenic causes is one of the world's main challenges to face climate change. Wastewater treatment plants are necessary to improve the quality of wastewater before it is discharged into the receiving environment, but they have the disadvantage of generating nitrous oxide emissions during the biological treatment, which is a potent greenhouse gas.

The increasing pressure on water resources due to population growth and high water consumption, especially in urban areas from tropical developing countries, has led to a rise in water stress. The sustainability analysis of the Total Water Footprint (WF) and the Environmental Sustainability Index (SI) are holistic water management tools that allow for establishing pressures over water resources.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ammonia are some of the compounds present in gaseous emissions from waste treatment facilities that contribute to odour pollution. In the present work, the effect of the residence time on the biological stability of raw sludge (RS) composted in dynamic windrows and the gaseous emissions generated were studied at a full-scale composting plant, aiming to provide specific pollutant emission factors and to determine their variability depending on the composting time.

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are becoming popular technologies with a plethora of applications in the environmental field. However, research on the scale-up of these systems is scarce. To understand the limiting factors of hydrogen production in microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) at pilot-scale, a 135 L MEC was operated for six months under a wide range of operational conditions: applied potential [0.

In the present study, the potential inhibitory effect of biologically pre-treated vegetable tannery wastewater (TW) on anammox granular biomass was evaluated. Beside high organic and chemicals load, vegetable TW are characterised by high salinity and high tannins concentration, the latter belonging to a group of bio-refractory organic compounds, potentially inhibitory for several bacterial species.
