Given the variability in LCA results based on different scenario settings, this paper seeks to categorize these settings, assess their impact, and provide a reference for future research in optimizing wastewater treatment industry.</p><h3>Recent Findings</h3><p>To achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the wastewater treatment field, recent studies have incorporated a more diverse range of scenarios for comparative analysis. These scenarios can generally be categorized into small-scale and large-scale scenarios, including those set up to compare different wastewater treatment technologies, demonstrate the potential of new versus traditional processes, predict future developments, and analyze regional impacts spanning entire countries, among others. Scenario setting plays a critical role throughout the LCA process, influencing model construction, data analysis, and result interpretation.</p><h3>Summary</h3><p>The motivation behind scenario setting lies in comparison, and it can be integrated throughout LCA research, serving distinct roles at various stages. This review categorizes scenario setting into three steps: baseline scenario setting, main scenario setting, and supplementary scenario setting. Proper scenario setting is crucial for enhancing the accuracy and depth of wastewater treatment life cycle assessments, enabling researchers to provide valuable insights into the environmental, economic, and social impacts of wastewater treatment technologies. This structured approach supports decision-makers in optimizing treatment processes and developing more sustainable wastewater management policies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":528,"journal":{"name":"Current Pollution Reports","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DJKM method has achieved remarkable success in constructing integrable hierarchies associated with classical A, B, C, D affine Lie algebras. In contrast, the KW method exhibits broader applicability, as it can be employed even for exceptional E, F, G affine Lie algebras. However, a significant drawback of the KW construction lies in the great difficulty of obtaining Lax equations for the corresponding integrable hierarchies. Conversely, in the DJKM construction, Lax structures for numerous integrable hierarchies can be derived. The derivation of Lax equations from bilinear equations in the KW construction remains an open problem. Consequently, demonstrating the equivalent DJKM construction for the integrable hierarchies obtained via the KW construction would be highly beneficial for obtaining the corresponding Lax structures.

The objective of this study was to present a method for designing the aggregate gradation of PA based on the target air voids. Initially, using the volume composition of compacted asphalt mixtures and the formula for estimating asphalt-aggregate ratio, a physical model was established to link air voids with the content of fine materials (i.e. passing percentage of key sieves). Subsequently, a determination method for the critical parameter of the percentage voids in coarse aggregate (VCA) within the physical model was provided based on the skeleton stability of coarse aggregate using a penetration test. Finally, a procedure for designing the aggregate gradation of PA based on target air voids was proposed employing the established physical model. Additionally, an applied case study on the gradation design of PA-13 was presented, verifying the effectiveness of the method.
