Anaerobic co-digestion of poultry manure and used cooking oil for enhanced biogas production
(Corresponding) Eftaxias A., Gkalimanis P., Koskinari M., Koumara A., Diamantis V., (Corresponding) Aivasidis A.
Topic:
Biowaste
Aim of this study was to evaluate the anaerobic co-digestion of diluted poultry manure (DPM) and used cooking oil (UCO). Mixtures of DPM with different UCO dosages (1 to 6% v/v) were prepared using a high-shear emulsifier and digested in batch anaerobic reactors. Increasing the UCO dosage resulted...Read more

Sources and transfer of Cu, Hg and Pb into marine food webs using innovative tracers (metal stable isotopes, trophic markers): results of a pilot study in a French coastal area
(Corresponding) Chouvelon T., Araujo D., Bouchoucha M., Briant N., Bruzac S., Crochet S., Knoery J., Ponzevera E., Rozuel E., Sireau T., Thomas B., Amouroux D., Bérail S., Brach-Papa C.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Copper (Cu), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) are elements and contaminants of historical and emerging concerns in coastal environments. Although Cu is considered essential for living organisms, it is bioactive in a narrow range of optimal concentrations. Hg and Pb have no known biological role and are...Read more
Thermo-physical properties of agricultural residues for syn gas production using thermo-gravimetric analysis
(Corresponding) kumar p.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The thermal degradation behaviour and the activation energy can be integrated utilized to understand the behaviour and constituent of biomass degradation rate prior to gasification. Thermophysical properties of agricultural residues in order to facilitate its further processing and utilization for...Read more
Thermolysis and kinetic parameters determination of biomass fuel powders by differential thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG/DTA)
(Corresponding) KUMAR p.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of the agriculture residues were evaluated using a differential thermo-gravimetric analyser under a non-isothermal condition. The direct Arrhenius plot method and the integral method were applied for the determination of kinetic parameters: activation...Read more

Numerical simulation of CO2-brine-rock interactions on CO2 sequestration in Shihezi Formation of Ordos Basin in China
(Corresponding) Liu B., Li Z., Fu X.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as the best way of reducing carbon emissions under existing technological conditions, is attracting more and more attention. Although experiments can explore chemical process of CO2 sequestration, it is limited in time scale. CO2 geological storage will last...Read more
Keywords:

Quantification of Soil Properties from Hyperspectral Data for Sustainable Agriculture Using Deep Learning
(Corresponding) Singh S., Kasana S.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The characterization of soil properties is critical for optimizing farming for sustainable agriculture. All the existing techniques for soil quantification do not take advantage of the sequential nature of Hyperspectral Data. This work focuses on proposing a Hybrid Framework that can quantitatively...Read more
Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon for Sustainable Agriculture using Deep Learning
(Corresponding) Singh S., Kasana S.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The organic carbon percentage is concomitant indicating the mineralization of nutrients and the ability of the soil to hold nutrients cations, structural stability, and water holding capacity. It is necessary to know the quantity of carbon for healthy soil and avoid the production related problems...Read more

O-fire+: a pioneer solution on wildfire incident planning and response for enhancing the resilience of individual infrastructures
(Corresponding) Karystinakis K., Partozis T., Grigoriadis D., Mantzavelas A., Diamantopoulos S.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Wildland fires can seriously affect infrastructures causing extended direct or indirect financial losses, as well as societies causing the loss of properties, landscape quality and even human lives. The relevant management requires effective planning prior and quick/targeted response during those...Read more
Adsorption of Gatifloxacin from Aqueous Solution with Highly Stable Zr(IV)-Based Porphyrinic Metal-Organic Frameworks
Chen J., Wang L., Xu G., (Corresponding) Wang X., Zhao R.
Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Water stable Zr-metal–organic framework nanoparticles (PCN-224 NPs) have been solvothermally synthesized. PCN-224 NPs show spherical shape with smooth surface and particle size of approximately 200 nm. PCN-224 NPs can be stable in acid and aqueous solutions, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction...Read more
