This study assesses the technological, environmental and economic feasibility of biodrying to valorise cellulosic sludge as a renewable energy source. Specifically, three different aeration strategies were compared in terms ...

Lignocellulolytic enzymes from low-cost sources are gaining attention as a tool to reduce production costs. Such enzymes can be obtained sustainably by diverse fungal strains via solid-state fermentation (SSF) of ...

The rivers and streams of theworld are becoming saltier due to human activities. In spite of the potential damage that salt pollution can cause on freshwater ecosystems, this is an issue that is currently poorly managed. ...

Potash abandoned mines cause severe environmental damage to their bordering environment, with significant impacts on freshwater ecosystems mostly through uncontrolled discharge of hypersaline effluents. This study aimed ...

The global increase of cyanobacterial blooms occurrence has been associated with the presence of compounds that generate earthy and musty odour in freshwater systems, among which geosmin stands out. The lack of information ...

In the present work, a complete study of the sewage sludge (SS) biodrying technology was conducted at benchscale, aiming at assessing its performance and providing a valuable insight into the different gaseous emission patterns ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biodegradable bioplastics of interest as potential substitutes of petroleum-derived plastics that can be produced starting from lignocellulosic-derived residues. This study presents the ...

The capability of Anaerobic Digestion (AD) in minimising waste and retaining the value of materials and energy within the biological and technical cycles in the Dairy Industry (DI) makes AD a critical instrument of transition ...

El creixement de la població preveu un augment de la demanda de matèries primeres i energia, exacerbant les deficiències del model d'economia linear. L'economia circular emergeix com una alternativa, emfatitzant la recuperació ...

Els resultats d'aquesta tesi van demostrar que és possible una avaluació i millora ambiental constant dels sistemes lactis mitjançant l'ús d'eines especialitzades com CalcPEFDairy, auditories energètiques i indicadors ...
