Integrated Process of Immediate One-Step Lime Precipitation, Atmospheric Carbonation, Constructed Wetlands, or Adsorption for Industrial Wastewater Treatment: A Review

“…In fact, eco-innovative wastewater treatment technologies refer to the application of environmentally sustainable technologies and approaches in treating wastewater to minimize their negative impacts (e.g., minimizing greenhouse gas emissions) on the environment while also maximizing their potential benefits. Typically, these technologies are energy-efficient and resource-efficient processes that minimize the use of chemicals and other inputs and may incorporate renewable energy sources and closed-loop systems to reduce the overall environmental footprint [53]. So, some eco-innovative aspects have been found in this integrated process, namely [47,48,54]: (i) The IOSLM process (or lime precipitation) uses a single reagent (hydrated lime) of low cost and high availability; the sludge produced is stabilized, is rich in nutrients, has the potential to be used in acid soils, and is less harmful than iron/alum sludge obtained by conventional coagulationflocculation processes (the iron/alum sludges can contaminate groundwater by leaching iron and aluminum salts in acidic soils [55] and limit plant growth due to lower nutrient availability [56,57]; the destination of iron/alum sludges is landfilling disposal); (ii) The atmospheric carbonation process contributes to atmospheric CO 2 mitigation since in this process atmospheric CO 2 is used to neutralize alkaline effluent to values around neutrality, therefore, no consumption of acids and the problems associated with them occurs; (iii) Constructed wetlands are eco-friendly, and mimic natural processes that already occur in nature; and (iv) Many wastes that could end up in landfills can be used as adsorbents in industrial wastewater treatment through the adsorption process.…”

Eco-innovación y Responsabilidad Social Empresarial: Un estudio bibliométrico de la relación de estos constructos

“…La Eco-innovación se entiende como todos aquellos procesos que emiten menores grados de contaminación y que buscar reducir el uso de recursos (Charter y Clark, 2007). Por ello, una organización Eco-innovadora se puede entender como aquella que cuenta con un enfoque sustentable en cada una de sus operaciones (de Jesus et al, 2021), manteniendo así una interacción saludable con los grupos de interés. La Eco-innovación puede, entonces, considerarse con tres dimensiones específicas: producto, procesos y organización (Dalhammar, 2016;Maldonado et al, 2020;Rodriguez y Wiengarten, 2017).…”
