Bioaugmentation of Native Fungi, an Efficient Strategy for the Bioremediation of an Aged Industrially Polluted Soil With Heavy Hydrocarbons
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-31)
The concurrence of structurally complex petroleum-associated contaminants at relatively high concentrations, with diverse climatic conditions and textural soil characteristics, hinders conventional ...
Towards a standardization of biomethane potential tests
(IWA Publishing, 2016-09-19)
Production of biogas from different organic materials is a most interesting source of renewable energy.
The biomethane potential (BMP) of these materials has to be determined to get insight in ...
Combined Acidification and Solar Drying of Pig Slurries for Nutrient Recovery and Controlled Atmospheric Emissions
(MDPI, 2021-01-25)
