Strategies for the improvement of VFAs recovery in the nanofiltration process within the circular economy framework

Pervez M., Uwineza C., Sapmaz T., Mahboubi A., Hasan ., Cai Y., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Taherzadeh ., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.

Topic:

Food waste

Over the past decades, the anaerobic digestion (AD) process has been employed as a potential medium to produce valuable resources from the waste-based feedstock. Moreover, the use of AD technology can generate not only resources, but it also creates an avenue for useful chemicals recovery to...Read more

The Lombard Dairy Industry in the Perspective of Circular Economy: Degree of Application and Improvement Potentials

(Corresponding) Mehner E., Fantin V., Pizzichini D., Vergalli S., Vaccari M.

Topic:

Circular economy and industrial symbiosis

Circular Economy is an economic concept, aiming at increasing resource efficiency, recirculating resource streams and minimizing waste of an industrial process. Thereby, ideally, environmental impacts can be decreased while the profitability of the considered process is improved. This concept is...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

Waste Printed Circuit Boards (WPCBs) as a potential source for the recovery of rare earth elements through bioleaching.

(Corresponding) Gonzalez Baez A., Pantoja Muñoz L., Garelick H., Purchase D.

Topic:

Electric and electronic waste

Rare earth elements (e.g., neodymium, dysprosium and praseodymium) have contributed to the miniaturization, energy efficiency, durability, and high speed of many technology gadgets. Due to their electric conductivity, magnetic, luminescence and optical properties, rare earth elements (REE) are...Read more
