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
