(Corresponding) Ferraro A., Massini G., Mazzurco Miritana V., Panico A., Pontoni L., Race M., Rosa S., Signorini A., Fabbricino M., Pirozzi F.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
In the present work, an anaerobic bioremediation treatment was investigated for reclamation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated soil. The PAHs contaminated soil was artificially prepared and seven different contamination conditions were tested. In particular, four soils were...Read more
The effect of HRT in the successful bioaugmentation of CSTRs working under ammonia toxicity
Tzenos C., Christou M., Kalamaras S., (Corresponding) Kotsopoulos T.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
High levels of ammonia is a common inhibitory factor in anaerobic digestion (AD) resulting in low methane production and unbalance of the process. In the present study, the adjustment of the hydraulic retention time (HRT) and the bioaugmentation process (BP) are investigated to counter the negative...Read more
