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

Bioleaching of valuable elements from red mud using autochthonous biomass

(Corresponding) Cozzolino A., Cappai G., Cara S., Milia S., Carucci A.

Topic:

Circular economy and industrial symbiosis

Red mud (RM) is the main residue produced by the alkaline extraction of aluminum from bauxite, and it contains valuable metals (e.g., iron, aluminum, titanium, silicon). Aim of this research was to investigate the biologically induced leaching of valuable elements from RM using autochthonous...Read more

Evaluation of Pressure-Driven Membrane Processes for Nutrients Recovery from Dilute Effluents

Tsaridou C., Karanasiou A., (Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A.

Topic:

Circular economy and industrial symbiosis

Results are presented from an ongoing R&D project, aiming at full utilization of dairy-industry effluents. Development of a membrane-based method is pursued, for treatment of digestate (after fermentation yielding bio-gas) to recover nutrients (N-NH4, P-PO4) and water for reuse/recycling or...Read more

Keywords:

nanofiltration, ultra-low-pressure reverse osmosis, dairy industry effluents, anaerobic digestate, ammonium and phosphorous recovery
