In this study, reactive crystallisation is introduced into a liquid-liquid membrane contactor for the selective separation, purification and recovery of ammonia from concentrated waste. Whilst liquid-liquid membrane contactor technology has been previously demonstrated for ammonia absorption, further process intensification can be achieved by incor...

Cold homes and fuel poverty have been identified as factors in health and social inequalities that could be alleviated through energy efficiency interventions. Research on fuel poverty and the health impacts of affordable warmth initiatives have to date primarily been conducted using quantitative and statistical methods, limiting the way how fuel p...

The EU’s commitment to reducing its carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 has led to an array of climate change and energy umbrella policies. With currently 28 diverse member states, these policies are transposed to the national and regional level with varying degrees of efficiency, speed and proactivity. A number of directives and laws within this overa...

Infrastructure operation in the UK can be described as separate utility systems provisioning unconstrained demand, with higher throughput corresponding to higher profits. A more sustainable approach would prioritise coordinated infrastructure operation focused on essential service delivery at the lowest possible resource use. However, the presiding...

The University of Leeds is facing increasing pressures to reduce its carbon footprint and to cut spending. Waste management has so far been overlooked for its potential to reduce operational costs and decrease the university " s carbon footprint. The project found that the university is overspending on the management of its waste food. This occurs...

Sustainable and resilient urban systems require efficient and reliable infrastructure for supplying urban demands. However, resource-efficient infrastructure operation is rarely considered explicitly in urban sustainability and resilient studies. Our research investigates the transition of urban infrastructure operation away from supply of unmanage...
