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

Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
This work presents the design of a new process that enables energy recovery from wastewater, based on the selective adsorption of urea from urine and its subsequent decomposition into hydrogen.
Removal of nitrogen compounds is at the core of wastewater treatment, as their uncontrolled discharge...Read more
