“…The scope of this work is highly matched with the green solutions perspective towards wastewater treatment. According to other papers recently published in the same field (Corpuz et al, 2021;Pahunang et al, 2021), this work shows the importance of the study of algae and their combination with bacteria to reduce environmental pressures and treat the wastewater streams.…”

The planet Earth stands out in the known Universe for its wealth of water, biodiversity, and living species, including humans. Water is majorly relevant to all living beings; in some organisms, up to 90% of their body weight comes from water. Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. In the same way, our planet is covered up to 70% by water. With its natural and anthropic cycles, water is an essential element in our planet, and any alteration in terms of its quantity and/or quality can affect the health of all interconnected elements and living species. The water resource is not the sole element crucial for the health of people, animals, and the natural ecosystems; all environmental resources are interconnected and participate in the health of living species and ecosystems. These aspects are generally approached by civil and environmental engineering or, more in general, by environmental scholars.If from one side it is reasonably verified that we live under one planet and the interconnections between the different elements are generally known; however, the environmental engineering science and the health matters of humans and animals are fundamentally not well integrated, which is of concern at present days. "One Health" is an integrated approach between three main spheres of knowledge (Figure 1): human health, animals' health, and living environments or environmental health (Ash, 2019;Zinsstag et al., 2018). The latter component is often neglected, as evident from the various sources where it is not mentioned strongly (Essack, 2018). As it is known, environmental issues seem to be a significant index towards accomplishing UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 17 SDGs illustrate how to develop a sustainable and healthy environment for all living beings (Brito, 2012;Griggs et al., 2013), all highly interconnected with the "One Health" approach.One Health is not a new approach, but it is more recently put into action by FAO and WHO because globalization and relative movement of people, animals, and natural products have exponentially increased from international travel and trade. As a result, diseases can spread quickly across borders around the globe, and the most evident indicator of this issue is the current COVID19 pandemic.

“…The algal biomass generated could be used to produce valuable byproducts (e.g., biofuel, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, biopolymers, etc.) [110,111]. Even though it has been studied at a laboratory scale and demonstrated good efficiency in terms of oxidation of odorant compounds (e.g., VOCs and H 2 S), a scaled-up analysis is needed for the evaluation of the robustness at full-scale application on a WWTPs with a real mixture of odorants.…”

The release of air pollutants from the operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is often a cause of odor annoyance for the people living in the surrounding area. Odors have been indeed recently classified as atmospheric pollutants and are the main cause of complaints to local authorities. In this context, the implementation of effective treatment solutions is of key importance for urban water cycle management. This work presents a critical review of the state of the art of odor treatment technologies (OTTs) applied in full-scale WWTPs to address this issue. An overview of these technologies is given by discussing their strengths and weaknesses. A sensitivity analysis is presented, by considering land requirements, operational parameters and efficiencies, based on data of full-scale applications. The investment and operating costs have been reviewed with reference to the different OTTs. Biofilters and biotrickling filters represent the two most applied technologies for odor abatement at full-scale plants, due to lower costs and high removal efficiencies. An analysis of the odors emitted by the different wastewater treatment units is reported, with the aim of identifying the principal odor sources. Innovative and sustainable technologies are also presented and discussed, evaluating their potential for full-scale applicability.

“…The module can be prepared by the flat sheet or hollow fiber membranes, but the HFMs have been more widely used due to easy assembling and high permeability per installation area. However, HFM in the submerged MBR is required high mechanical properties because of easily broken during the high-pressure back-washing and cleaning process or aerated airflow [37,40,58]. Fan et al [37] investigated the BHFM in the MBR process.…”

Effective Parameters on Fabrication and Modification of Braid Hollow Fiber Membranes: A Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) possess desired properties such as high surface area, desirable filtration efficiency, high packing density relative to other configurations. Nevertheless, they are often possible to break or damage during the high-pressure cleaning and aeration process. Recently, using the braid reinforcing as support is recommended to improve the mechanical strength of HFMs. The braid hollow fiber membrane (BHFM) is capable apply under higher pressure conditions. This review investigates the fabrication parameters and the methods for the improvement of BHFM performance.
