Struvite-based composites for slow-release fertilization: a case study in sand
(Nature Research, 2022-08-19)
Struvite (St) recovered from wastewaters is a sustainable option for phosphorus (P) recovery and fertilization, whose solubility is low in water and high in environments characterized by a low pH, such ...
Development of a modified plug-flow anaerobic digester for biogas production from animal manures
(MDPI, 2019-07-08)
Traditional plug-flow anaerobic reactors (PFRs) are characterized by lacking a mixing system and operating at high total solid concentrations, which limits their applicability for several kinds of ...
Treatment of the Supernatant of Anaerobically Digested Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste in a Demo-Scale Mesophilic External Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-12)
Conventional aerobic biological treatments of digested organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) slurries–usually conventional activated sludge or aerobic membrane bioreactor (AeMBR)–are inefficient ...
Air treatment technologies in pig farms. Life cycle assessment of dry and wet scrubbers in Northern Italy and Northeastern Spain
(Elsevier, 2024-02-24)
Over the years, different solutions were developed and tested to reduce the emissions of ammonia and particulate matter from the livestock facilities. The environmental performances of these solutions ...
Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Sites: Is There Something More Than Exophiala xenobiotica? New Insights into Black Fungal Diversity Using the Long Cold Incubation Method
(MDPI, 2021-09-29)
Human-made hydrocarbon-rich environments are important reservoirs of microorganisms with specific degrading abilities and pathogenic potential. In particular, black fungi are of great interest, but their ...
Effect of harvesting age and size reduction in the performance of anaerobic digestion of Pennisetum grass
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)
In the rural zones of Latin American and Caribbean developing countries, the poorest households rely on traditional fuels such as firewood to meet their daily cooking needs. Many of those countries are ...
Examining the perspectives of using manure from livestock farms as fertilizer to crop fields based on a realistic simulation
(Elsevier, 2021-10-13)
Intensive livestock production has a negative environmental impact by producing large amounts of animal dejections, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate nearby water bodies with nutrient ...
Selection and application of agri-environmental indicators to assess potential technologies for nutrient recovery in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-12-13)
The adverse effects of agriculture and livestock production on the environment are well-known and require mitigation in order to achieve sustainability in the food production chain. This study focused ...
Closing nutrient loops in a maize rotation. Catch crops to reduce nutrient leaching and increase biogas production by anaerobic co-digestion with dairy manure
(Elsevier, 2021-04-18)
Three catch crop species, ryegrass, forage rape and black oat, were grown between successive rotations of maize to reduce nitrogen leaching due to maize fertilization with digested dairy manure. Catch ...
Genomic Understanding of an Infectious Brain Disease from the Desert
(Genetics Society of America, 2018-01-11)
Rhinocladiella mackenziei accounts for the majority of fungal brain infections in the Middle East, and
is restricted to the arid climate zone between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Neurotropic dissemination ...
