Mehta, Divvay (author)Magnesium is one of the most critical natural resources and 96% of magnesium used in Europe is imported. The present study investigated possible ways of implementing circularity in the magnesium cycle within the borders of Waternet, a water utility in the Netherlands. The wastewater treatment plant at Amsterdam-West produces struvite from...master thesis 2022

Nederveen, Tim (author)Environmental guidelines (EU WFD) impose a strict effluent phosphate target on wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). An abundance of phosphate (and other nutrients) in a water body is called eutrophication. Eutrophication can lead to algal blooms which result in very low oxygen concentrations in the water. Other species, like fish and aquatic...master thesis 2022

Bhambhani, A. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Resource recovery solutions are an essential part of a sustainable water sector. Sustainability of these solutions needs to be analysed to assess, compare and optimize them. Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) is the most commonly used framework for sustainability assessment. This review paper discusses three critical characteristics of...journal article 2022

Lam, K.L. (author), Solon, Kimberly (author), Jia, Mingsheng (author), Volcke, Eveline I. P. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Recovering phosphorus from wastewater in more concentrated forms has potential to sustainably recirculate phosphorus from cities to agriculture. The environmental sustainability of wastewater-based phosphorus recovery processes or wastewater-derived phosphorus products can be evaluated using life cycle assessment (LCA). Many LCA studies used a...journal article 2022

Cerruti, M. (author), Kim, J.H. (author), Pabst, Martin (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Weissbrodt, D.G. (author)Purple bacteria (PPB), anoxygenic photoorganoheterotrophic organisms with a hyper-versatile metabolism and high biomass yields over substrate, are promising candidates for the recovery of nutrient resources from wastewater. Infrared light is a pivotal parameter to control and design PPB-based resource recovery. However, the effects of light...journal article 2022

Nativio, A. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Bio-composite materials made from resources recovered from the water cycle are the future of the holistic approach towards sustainable wastewater treatment. The raw ingredients for these materials are coming from contaminated sources such as wastewater resources, water plants from surface water etc.. Thus, different risks like human health,...review 2022

Pei, R. (author), Estevez Alonso, A. (author), Ortiz-Seco, Laura (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author), Werker, A. (author)Municipal activated sludge can be used for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production, when supplied with volatile fatty acids. In this work, standardized PHA accumulation assays were performed with different activated sludge to determine (1) the maximum biomass PHA content, (2) the degree of enrichment (or volume-to-volume ratio of PHA...journal article 2022

Goedhart, Roos (author)The removal of iron from groundwater is essential to avoid aesthetic issues of the produced drinking water and to reduce maintenance cost of the system. The most applied iron removal method of oxidation and filtration produces large volumes of aqueous iron sludge of little value and the method is more likely to fail at high iron concentrations....master thesis 2021

Pereira Espíndola, S. (author), Pronk, M. (author), Zlopasa, J. (author), Picken, S.J. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)Wastewater solids could be an attractive source of secondary raw cellulose, mainly originating from toilet paper. Cellulose can be recovered through sieving of raw wastewater, return sludge, or excess sludge. In particular, a large fraction of cellulose (13–15%) can be found in the excess sludge of the aerobic granular sludge produced by the...journal article 2021
