In particular, research articles included in this SI are related to: Process mechanisms and operation, optimization, monitoring, modeling, and applications; Removal of pathogens and emerging pollutants; Reuse and circular economy; Resource recovery (e.g., nutrients recovery, high-value compounds) and energy valorization (e.g., biogas); Life cycle assessment and carbon footprint; Technoeconomic assessment and social perception of waste-to-resource processes; Low-cost technologies; Policy. Overall, this SI provides new ways to valorize organic waste from wastewater and describe novel processes as well as the environmental and social benefits in the frame of the Sustainable Development Goals.History of engineering and technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscaerobic denitrificationammoniumanaerobic co-digestionanaerobic digestion (AD)anaerobic digestion acceptancebiogasdewaterabilityenergy policyfood wastesheterotrophic nitrificationiron oxide nano particleslife cycle assessment (LCA)livestock wastewatermesophilicmethanen/anano magnetitenano particlesnano zero valent ironorganic wastesrural developmentsewage sludgesludge qualitysludge valorisationstructural equation modelsustainable energy technologysynthetic microbial communitytemperature-phased anaerobic digestion (TPAD)thermophilicwaste activated sludge (WAS)waste-activated sludgewastewater treatment plant (WWTP)History of engineering and technologyTechnology: general issuesGarfí Mariannaedt1339345Garfí MariannaothBOOK9910674021103321Biological Treatment of Organic Waste in Wastewater-towards a Circular and Bio-Based Economy3645488UNINA04412nam 2201273z- 450 9910404079203321202102113-03928-667-6(CKB)4100000011302346(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/45292(oapen)doab45292(EXLCZ)99410000001130234620202102d2020 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDisturbance Effects on Soil Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Forest EcosystemsMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20201 online resource (232 p.)3-03928-666-8 Forest ecosystems are often disturbed by agents such as harvesting, fire, wind, insects and diseases, and acid deposition, with differing intensities and frequencies. Such disturbances can markedly affect the amount, form, and stability of soil organic carbon in, and the emission of greenhouse gases, including CO2, CH4, and N2O from, forest ecosystems. It is vitally important that we improve our understanding of the impact of different disturbance regimes on forest soil carbon dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions to guide our future research, forest management practices, and policy development. This Special Issue provides an important update on the disturbance effects on soil carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in forest ecosystems in different climate regions.Biology, life sciencesbicsscanthropogenic effectassisted natural regenerationautotrophic respirationbacterial communitybiocharcalcareous soilcalcareous soilsCamellia oleiferacarbon source-sinkcarbon stock changesCH4CH4 emissionsclear-cuttingclimate change mitigationCO2CO2 effluxesCO2 emissionCO2 emissionsCO2 production and diffusioncoastal wetlandsDCDdecompositionfitting parametersforestforest conversionforest disturbanceforest soilsgenerationglobal changegreenhouse gasgreenhouse gas emissiongreenhouse gas inventoryheterotrophic respirationinsect outbreakIPCCkarst graben basinland use patternland use typesland-use changelandformLarix principis-rupprechtii Mayrmicrobemicrobial propertiesN additionN2ON2O emissionsnatural forestnext-generation sequencingnitrification inhibitornitrogennitrous oxideorganic carbon accumulationorganic carbon mineralizationplantationplum plantation agesred soilsrocky desertificationsensitivitysoilsoil carbon sequestrationsoil characteristicssoil CO2soil microbial residuesoil organic carbonsoil propertiessoil qualitysoil respirationsoil total nitrogenSouth Koreastand agestoichiometric ratiosstorm damagesubtropical forestsuccessive plantingsurface soil layertemperaturetree mortalitywarmingBiology, life sciencesCai Yanjiangauth1326689Chang ScottauthBOOK9910404079203321Disturbance Effects on Soil Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Forest Ecosystems3037670UNINA04541nam 2200937z- 450 9910619465403321202210253-0365-5244-8(CKB)5670000000391620(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/93222(oapen)doab93222(EXLCZ)99567000000039162020202210d2022 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNew Perspectives on Geothermal Energy Exploration and Evaluation of Geothermal PotentialMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20221 online resource (202 p.)3-0365-5243-X This book describes interesting case studies of the exploration, characterization, and use of geothermal resources in Spain, Sweden, Italy, Croatia, China, Djibouti, and Canada. A new open-source software, with an easy-to-use graphical user interface, is applied to assess the deep geothermal potential of the Reus-Valls sedimentary basin in Spain. Then, a high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage facility at Linköping, Sweden, is described to shift excess heat generated from a waste incineration plant during the summer to the winter season. Next, a plastic plate heat exchanger was geometrically and thermodynamically modeled, optimized, and applied to a direct geothermal heating system for a building in Southern Italy. In the last European study, in Croatia, an unconventional hydrocarbon gas reservoir is analyzed (geothermal gradient of 49°C/km), in the geothermal field Velika Ciglena. Going down to Africa, the assessment of the geothermal resources in the Asal Rift (Djibouti) through multiphase flow and heat transfer simulations is presented. Moving to Asia, in the Chinese province of Guangdong, magnetotelluric profiles are used to interpret the crust and upper mantle structure and its geothermal implications. Then, in the remote Canadian Northern regions, uncertainty and risk evaluation of deep geothermal energy resources (> 4 km) for heat production and electricity generation are described. Finally, a literature review provides a comparison of geothermal projects in unconventional reservoirs in United Kingdom (Cornubian Batholith), Canada (Williston Sedimentary Basin), and Italy (Campi Flegrei Caldera).Environmental science, engineering and technologybicsscHistory of engineering and technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicssc 2D inversionAsal RiftboreholescalderacommunitiesCroatiacrust-upper mantle structurecrystalline bedrockdirect heating systemdrillingdrone photogrammetryelectrical conductivityenergy storageexergoeconomic analysisgeothermal drillinggeothermal energygeothermal gradientGuangdong Provinceheat sourceheat-in-placehydrocarbon gashydrothermal systemLate Mesozoic graniteloggingmagnetic measurementsmagnetotelluricsmethodologyMonte Carlomethodmultiphase flowNeogenenormal faultnumerical modelnumerical modelingNunavikpaleoclimatepetrothermal systemplastic plate heat exchangertechnical potentialtheoretical potentialthermal propertiesunconventional geothermal resourcesunconventional reservoirsVLFEnvironmental science, engineering and technologyHistory of engineering and technologyTechnology: general issuesSomma Renatoedt1319286Blessent DanielaedtSomma RenatoothBlessent DanielaothBOOK9910619465403321New Perspectives on Geothermal Energy Exploration and Evaluation of Geothermal Potential3033700UNINA
