“…The overall energy use of the wastewater treatment plant including sludge treatment can be decreased by at least 40% with a payback time of 7 years. As calculated by Ruiken et al (2013) the potential for Waternet is high. Approximately 1,200,000 persons are connected to the wastewater treatment plants of Waternet.…”

“…Cellulose fibres, originating from toilet paper, may be a potential resource which could be recovered easily from wastewater by sieving (Ruiken et al, 2013). At the relatively small wastewater treatment plant 'Blaricum', operated by Waternet, fine-mesh sieves have been introduced as pre-treatment for municipal biological wastewater treatment.…”

Amsterdam has the ambition to develop as a competitive and sustainable European metropolis. The flows of energy, water and resources within the urban environment have a large potential to contribute to this ambition. The overall mass balances of phosphate, food, water, energy and material imports in the Amsterdam region have already been mapped. Through a transition from a linear usage of resources and waste production without feedbacks of resources, towards a sustainable management of urban resources with circular flows of resources, the sustainability of cities can be increased. This Urban Harvesting Concept can be applied in Amsterdam. The challenge is to operationalize this concept in practice. Two municipal companies in Amsterdam, Waternet and AEB, take initiatives to create closed cycles within their working areas. Waternet is the water company of Amsterdam and surroundings responsible for all water activities. AEB is the company which operates two waste-to-energy plants in Amsterdam. The focus is on water, energy, waste and material flows. Integration of these cycles is also part of the initiatives. These circular flows result in economic benefits and sustainability benefits, either expressed as Ecopoints or CO 2 -emissions.

“…During the fermentation 11 process, large amount of cellulose industry wastewater produces 12 with high level of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical 13 oxygen demand (BOD) and lower pH discharge into environment 14 [4]. The organic wastewater without purification or intelligent 15 recycle will pollute the quality of the water environment.…”

A B S T R A C TIn this study, concentrated cellulose wastewater was re-utilized to synthesis water-retaining organic fertilizer by microwave-assisted polymerization which expanded the field of reapplication of cellulose wastewater. The content of the monomer, the microwave reaction power, the diatomite and the crosslinker were considered to investigate the influence of organic fertilizer absorbency on distilled water and seawater. The results showed that the water absorbency of the synthesized organic fertilizer was 117.67 and 82.32 g/g in distilled water and seawater, respectively. In addition, the contents of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, Q2 potassium and heavy metals (Cr(III), Cd(II) and Hg(II)) in the obtained fertilizer samples were detected and the results revealed that all the contents complied with the standard for organic fertilizer in China.2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd. 6
