A detailed characterisation of household food waste and the implications of sorting behaviour on potentials for anaerobic digestion and nutrient recovery
(Corresponding) Walk S., Hausbeck G., Körner I.
Topic:
Food waste
This study investigates household food waste (HH FW) generation in two socio-economically different areas in Lübeck, Germany. The applied waste characterisation protocol provided a detailed insight into the generation and separation behavior of FW collected in the municipal collection system. In...Read more
An overview of pressure-driven membrane technologies for a sustainable recovery of volatile fatty acids (VFAs)
Pervez M., Mahboubi A., Hasan S., Cai Y., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Taherzadeh M., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Food waste
Currently, petroleum-based volatile fatty acids (VFAs) sources are not acceptable towards sustainable development goals (SDG); therefore, biobased-derived VFAs are of interest. Anaerobic digestion has been identified as a useful technology for the production of biobased VFAs from organic waste...Read more
Can the seasonal variability affect the BMP of fruit and vegetable waste?
(Corresponding) Scotto di Perta E., Lamboglia R., Cesaro A., Frunzo L., Esposito G., Papirio S.
Topic:
Food waste
Fruit and vegetable waste (FVW), largely produced in open markets, is characterized by highly putrescible materials, thus being a proper substrate for anaerobic digestion. This study investigated the effect of the seasonal variation of FVW, on the biochemical methane potential (BMP). To this end,...Read more
