Reverse osmosis concentrate: an essential link for closing loop of municipal wastewater reclamation towards urban sustainability by Zhang, Xiaoyuan, Liu, Yu

“…Thus, this article aims to look into (i) integrated biological treatment-RO processes for municipal wastewater reclamation which is an emerging source of ROC, (ii) challenges associated with ROC, (iii) post-treatment of ROC and its impacts on overall energy balance in municipal wastewater reclamation processes and (iv) an innovative integrated anaerobic nanofiltration membrane bioreactor-RO process coupled with electrodialysis reversal and ozonation lastly proposed for closing water loop which is imperative in more and more countries. The possible engineering solution to tackle ROC is to minimize its volume by improving the productivity of RO unit in the mainstream wastewater reclamation process, with the ultimate goal of crystallization for zero liquid discharge at an affordable energy demand. …”

Simulation-based vulnerability assessment in transit systems with cascade failures by Chen, Hongyu, Zhang, Limao, Liu, Qiong, Wang, Hongtao, Dai, Xiaosong

“…Results indicate that: (1) The interchange stations display high vulnerability in the network and Xianggang Rd station, Hongtu Boulevard station, Taipingyang station, and Zhongnan Rd are the most vulnerable stations, which should be paid more attention in the operation management; (2) The damage of the attacks in the intentional attack strategies are much more significant than that in the random attack, indicating that the proposed approach presents the ability to identify the important nodes; (3) The metric of node betweenness would be more efficient to identify the vulnerable nodes in the intentional attack; (4) The optimal value of the tolerance parameter is the range [0.8, 0.9], while keeping the passenger transfer rate in the range [0.3, 0.4] can effectively reduce the effect of cascade failures with minimum resources. …”
