Ecodesign and environmental assessment: a synergy for higher education institut...
Swe, Wint; Ribau Teixeira, Margarida; Smuleac, Laura; Nunes, LuísThis article explores how ecodesign can help enhance environmental assessment methods (EAMs) employed by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Current EAMs primarily offer resource management evaluations or sustainability rankings but lack holistic and actionable solutions for institutional improvements. The proposed method integrates ecodesign tools, such as Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), environmental benchmar...

Reuse of treated slaughterhouse wastewater from immediate one-step lime precipi...
Madeira, Luís Miguel Simão; Ribau Teixeira, Margarida; Sérgio Nunes; Adelaide Almeida; Fátima CarvalhoThe transition from the linear economy paradigm to the circular economy in industrial wastewater treatment is on the global agenda. The search for new simple, eco-innovative and low-cost processes for treating industrial wastewater, which can also be used by small- and medium-sized industries, has been a constant challenge to ensure environmental sustainability in all types of industries. The present work aimed...
Nanofibrillated cationic cellulose derivatives as flocculants for domestic wast...
Ribau Teixeira, Margarida; Ismail, Abdullah; Medronho, Bruno; Alves, Luís; Pedrosa, Jorge F.S.; Ferreira, Paulo J.T.; Serrão Sousa, VâniaNatural-based coagulants have emerged as a reliable option to implement more sustainable operations and management of wastewater treatment plants. This work aims at evaluating the use of cationic nanofibrillated celluloses (cNFC) as novel bio-based flocculants to treat domestic wastewaters by the most widely employed treatment process – coagulation/flocculation. Two cNFC samples were prepared with different cha...
Tunning processes for organic matter removal from slaughterhouse wastewater tre...
Simão Madeira, Luís Miguel; Almeida, Adelaide; Rosa Da Costa, Ana; Mestre, Ana S.; Carvalho, Fátima; Ribau Teixeira, MargaridaAdsorption using unmodified/modified commercial activated carbons and constructed wetlands (CW) planted with Vetiveria zizanioides were evaluated as tuning processes for lowering chemical oxygen demand (COD) from slaughterhouse wastewater pretreated by the integrated process of immediate one-step lime precipitation and atmospheric carbonation. Powdered and granular activated carbons (PAC and GAC), and PAC and G...

Simão Madeira, Luís Miguel; Carvalho, Fátima; Almeida, Adelaide; Ribau Teixeira, MargaridaThe transition from the linear economy paradigm to the circular economy in industrial wastewater treatment systems is on the global agenda. The search for new simple, eco-innovative, and low-cost processes for treating industrial wastewater, which can also be used by small and medium-sized industries, has been a constant challenge especially when environmental sustainability is considered. So, a new integrated ...
Optimization of atmospheric carbonation in the integrated treatment immediate o...
Madeira, Luís Miguel; Carvalho, Fátima; Almeida, Adelaide; Ribau Teixeira, MargaridaLong carbonation time has been a common feature in the integrated process composed by immediate one-step lime precipitation and atmospheric carbonation. This work aims to understand how carbonation time can be influenced by reaction pH, as well as how reactor area/volume ratio affects carbonation time and ammonia removal, using slaughterhouse wastewater due to its variable characteristics. In the integrated imm...
From linear to circular ideas: an educational contest
Deda, Denner; Barros, Murillo Vetroni; Rigueiro, Constança; Ribau Teixeira, MargaridaThis work proposes a framework with which to analyse Higher Education Institution (HEI) students’ knowledge and understanding of circular economy (CE) concepts and the potential of the CE to promote sustainability, using a contest. The framework integrates CE principles and business models with sustainable indicators, and it was applied to the accepted projects by the contest jury. The contest was launched in 2...
