Condensate originating from household food waste as a substrate for Microbial Fuel Cells
Kamperidis T., Pandis P., Vlachaki E., (Corresponding) Tremouli A., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioreactor that converts the chemical energy of the bonds of organic compounds to electrical energy, through the catalytic reactions of microorganisms. Under anaerobic conditions various substrates have been examined using MFC technology. This study examines the...Read more

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Production from the Liquid Fraction of dried/shredded Food Waste
Filippou K., Bouzani E., Kora E., Ntaikou I., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
An enriched culture of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)-forming bacteria was developed using the liquid fraction (condensate) which is generated during drying and shredding of food waste. A mixed enriched culture was used for the production of PHAs, in two Draw-Fill Reactors (DFRs). The culture was...Read more
