Estimation of the Biochar Effect on Annual Energy Crops Grown in Post-Mining Lands
The ability of biochar as a soil additive to influence productivity, accumulation of heavy metals and thermal characteristics of energy crops was studied. Maize, Sudan grass and Sweet sorghum were grown in containers with ...
Impact Strength and Water Uptake Behavior of Bleached Kraft Softwood-Reinforced PLA Composites as Alternative to PP-Based Materials
The research toward environmentally friendly materials has devoted a great effort on composites based on natural fiber-reinforced biopolymers. These materials have shown noticeable mechanical properties, mainly tensile and ...
Nanofibrillated Cellulose as Functional Ingredient in Emulsion-Type Meat Products
The objective of this work was to introduce nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) in the formulation of cooked emulsion-type sausages with the aim of assessing its feasibility to assume the role or compensate the lack of some ...
Cathodic biofilms – A prerequisite for microbial electrosynthesis
Cathodic biofilms have an important role in CO2 bio-reduction to carboxylic acids and biofuels in microbial electrosynthesis (MES) cells. However, robust and resilient electroactive biofilms for an efficient CO2 conversion ...
Scaling-Up and Long-Term Operation of a Full-Scale Two-Stage Partial Nitritation-Anammox System Treating Landfill Leachate
Background: Biological treatment of leachate in landfill sites using anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is challenging because of the intrinsic characteristics of this complex wastewater. In this work, the scale-up and ...
Assessment of water quality ions in brackish water on drip irrigation system performance applied in saline areas
Utilizing brackish water with drip irrigation technology, due to its precise water control alleviates the secondary soil salinization, and improves crop yield and quality, which offers sustainable agricultural development ...
Exploring the recovery of potassium-rich struvite after a nitrification-denitrification process in pig slurry treatment
The integration of biological nitrogen (N) removal with struvite-type material recovery, which contained phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), was proved to be technically feasible in pig slurry treatment. Phosphate (PO4) salts ...
Valorization of Date Palm Waste for Plastic Reinforcement: Macro and Micromechanics of Flexural Strength
Date palm waste is an abundant agricultural residue in Tunisia and can be used for plastic reinforcement. Moreover, its use in plastic composites can help to reduce dependence on fossil resources for material production. ...
Integrated electrochemical-adsorption process for the removal of trace heavy metals from wastewater
In the light of the spread of treated wastewater use for irrigation, trace heavy metals pose a great risk to humans and aquatic life. An integrated electrochemical-adsorption (i.e. EC-AD) hybrid system was investigated for ...
Performance of disc, conventional and automatic screen filters under rainbow trout fish farm effluent for drip irrigation system
This study aims to investigate the performance of disc, conventional screen, and automatic screen filters when rainbow troutfish effluent is used for irrigation. The experiments were performed in a fish farm, located in ...
Enhanced Morphological Characterization of Cellulose Nano/Microfibers through Image Skeleton Analysis
The present paper proposes a novel approach for the morphological characterization of cellulose nano and microfibers suspensions (CMF/CNFs) based on the analysis of eroded CMF/CNF microscopy images. This approach offers a ...
Lignin-Containing Cellulose Nanofibrils from TEMPO-Mediated Oxidation of Date Palm Waste: Preparation, Characterization, and Reinforcing Potential
Lignin-containing cellulose nanofibrils (LCNFs) have emerged as a new class of nanocelluloses where the presence of residual lignin is expected to impart additional attributes such as hydrophobicity or UV-absorption. In ...
Exploring the limitations of forward osmosis for direct hydroponic fertigation: Impact of ion transfer and fertilizer composition on effective dilution
There is a need for water reuse technologies and applications to minimize the imminent water crisis, caused by the world population growth, the reduction of freshwater resources and the increasing water pollution. ...
Effect of a combined filtration system and drip irrigation laterals on quality of rainbow trout farm effluent
The main aim of this study was to investigate the qualitative changes of the rainbow trout effluent as water supply in a drip irrigation system. Two drip irrigation systems with a hydro-cyclone filter, sand filter and ...
Implications of the Circular Economy in the Context of Plastic Recycling: The Case Study of Opaque PET
The use of recycled opaque PET (r-O-PET, with TiO2) as a reinforcement for the recycled polypropylene matrix (r-PP) was evaluated through the life cycle assessment according to different scenarios corresponding to two ...
Tuning morphology and structure of non-woody nanocellulose: ranging between nanofibers and nanocrystals
Due to the increasing interest on lignocellulosic nanomaterials, alternative raw materials to wood sources have been explored. In this sense, annual plants can represent an important source of lignocellulose which may be ...
