Use of food waste as culture media in biocementation for ground improvement applications

Mwandira W., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gunn M., Gray C.

Topic:

CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY

The paper investigates the use of mixed fruit and vegetable (FV) waste to extract liquid to grow bacteria. The bacteria will be used to induce biocementation of soils and two metabolic pathways are examined. These are the ureolytic pathway and the carbonic anhydrase pathway (which absorbs CO2)...Read more
