When helping hurts: understanding resource recovery in nonprofit workplaces
… present study examined the relationship between recovery experiences and strain within the nonprofit context, and identified the role that work calling, boundary permeability, and relaxation remorse had on recovery and the relationship between recovery and strain. Participants (n = 124 nonprofit …

Advanced Technologies for Resource Recovery and Contaminants Removal from Landfill Leachate
… This project investigated leachate treatment and resource recovery from landfill leachates by innovative methods such as forward osmosis (FO), bioelectrochemical systems (BES), and advanced oxidation. In this study, a microbial fuel cell (MFC) removed 50-75% of the ammonia from a leachate through …

Resource recovery from sanitation to amplify development: Navigating global and local possibilities
Recovery of human-derived resources (e.g., nutrients, energy) from sanitation systems has emerged as an approach that may generate progress toward multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, persistent uncertainties and concerns (e.g., economics, social appropriateness) across a variety …
