High Performance PA 6/Cellulose Nanocomposites in the Interest of Industrial Scale Melt Processing
On an industrial scale, it is a challenge to achieve cellulose based nanocomposites due to dispersion issues and high process temperatures sensitivity. The current study describes methods to develop mechanically strong and ...
Appraising soil carbon storage potential under perennial and annual Chenopodiaceae in salt marsh of NE Spain
The work was conducted at La Pletera salt marsh (NE Spain) to investigate the potential for atmospheric carbon capture of perennial Sarcocornia fruticosa (L.) Scott and annual Salicornia patula Duval Jouve and subsequent ...
Forecast of the outlet turbidity and filtered volume in different microirrigation filters and filtration media by using machine learning techniques
Different media filters and filtration media are used to eliminate suspended particles in microirrigation and therefore prevent clogging in the emitter. The water volume by filtration cycle is a parameter related to the ...
Comparative evaluation of microbial activity in the decomposition of organic matter from solid household waste in Guayaquil
The escalating global population and subsequent rise in consumerism underscore the critical need for proper solid waste management, with a specific focus on the daily disposal of organic waste. Inadequate waste management ...
Revealing the role of supernatant and granular sludge fractions on granular anaerobic membrane bioreactor fouling
In order to design efficient fouling mitigation strategies in granular anaerobic membrane bioreactors (G-AnMBR), foulant characteristics and their role have to be thoroughly investigated. Raw mixed liquor of G-AnMBR was ...
Epidemiología y control integrado de enfermedades bacterianas y fúngicas en frutales
Sobre el desarrollo de nuevos bioplaguicidas y biofertilizantes microbianos, así como de sus metabolitos, y de péptidos funcionales (antimicrobianos y estimuladores de defensas en las plantas). Complementado con el desarrollo ...
Efecto del volumen de suelo húmedo en riego localizado para el cultivo del avellano (Corylus avellana L.)
The productive and vegetative behaviour and fruit quality of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) was determined in response to 4 wet soil volumes receiving the same amount of water irrigation, 3 of them (6, 15, 33%) generated ...
Hybrid DE optimised kernel SVR-relied techniques to forecast the outlet turbidity and outlet dissolved oxygen in distinct filtration media and micro-irrigation filters
In micro-irrigation systems, distinct media filters and filtering materials are employed to remove suspended solids from irrigation water and thereby avoid emitter obstruction. Turbidity is related to suspended solids and ...
Sustainable plastic composites by polylactic acid-starch blends and bleached kraft hardwood fibers
The growing environmental consciousness of society has led to the development of sustainable products. Because of its noticeable tensile properties, polylactic acid (PLA) has been widely studied as a replacement for ...
Sewage biogas efficient purification by means of lignocellulosic waste-based activated carbons
The present paper evaluates the efficiency of sustainable activated carbons obtained from the valorization of lignocellulosic waste in removing siloxanes and volatile organic compounds for the purification of anaerobic ...
The Integral Utilization of Date Palm Waste to Produce Plastic Composites
In this work, date palm waste (DPW) stemming from the annual pruning of date palm was used as a reinforcing filler in polypropylene matrix at 20–60 wt.%. Only a grinding process of the DPW has been performed to ensure no ...
Horticultural Plant Residues as New Source for Lignocellulose Nanofibers Isolation: Application on the Recycling Paperboard Process
Horticultural plant residues (tomato, pepper, and eggplant) were identified as new sources for lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNF). Cellulosic pulp was obtained from the different plant residues using an environmentally ...
Assessment of Fiber Orientation on the Mechanical Properties of PA6/Cellulose Composite
Cellulose is being considered as a suitable renewable reinforcement for materials production. In particular, cellulose based composites are attracting global interest for their unique and intrinsic properties such as ...

La presente investigación se realizó con la finalidad de proponer la optimización de rutas para la recolección de residuos sólidos en el cantón San Lorenzo. En la primera etapa se realizó un diagnóstico de la situación ...
Electrified biotrickling filters as tertiary urban wastewater treatment
Nitrification-denitrification is a well-established method in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Ammonium (NH4+) is oxidized to nitrate (NO3-) using oxygen (O2) as electron acceptor (nitrification) and NO3- is further ...
Selective butyric acid production from CO2 and its upgrade to butanol in microbial electrosynthesis cells
Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is a promising carbon utilization technology, but the low-value products (i.e., acetate or methane) and the high electric power demand hinder its industrial adoption. In this study, ...
