This paper proposes an overarching review of national municipal waste management systems and waste-to-energy as important part it in the context circular economy selected countries Europe. The growth population rising standards living means that consumption goods energy is increasing. On one hand, leads to increase generation waste. other correlation between increased wealth very strong well. Given average heating value solid (MSW) approximately 10 MJ/kg, seems logical use a source energy....
Ion-specific standards are needed to protect biodiversity
Solid-state fermentation (SSF), a process that occurs in the absence or near of water, has been used for production various high value added products such as enzymes and other organic components. This paper reviews recent studies reported on use SSF enzymes: lipases, proteases, cellulases, hemicellulases, ligninases, glucoamylases, pectinases, inulinases. The microorganisms are mostly fungi, substrates waste materials from agriculture food industry. shows advantages an economical...
Respiration indices are suggested in literature as the most suitable stability determination and proposed a biodegradability measure this work. An improved dynamic respiration index methodology is described This was applied to 58 samples of different types waste including municipal solid wastes wastewater sludge, both raw materials collected mechanical-biological treatment plant at stages biodegradation. The information obtained allowed establish qualitative classification three categories:...
Abstract Purpose The effects of tourism extend beyond purely economic considerations; they also have an impact on both the environment and people. Development tools procedures that foster consensus among practitioners enable measurement benchmarking impacts are required for managers to be able work lowering mitigating sector’s effects, while enhancing positive benefits. In this study a methodological proposition assess social packages is presented. Aim scope This adapts tests first time...
Abstract Purpose Despite the industrial and scientific acceptance of life cycle assessment (LCA) to determine environmental performance products, none existing information on LCA provides explicit clear recommendations how apply it when evaluating bio-based fertilizer (BBF) production systems. This situation affects reliability results causes confusion among practitioners, technology developers, other stakeholders. Here, we first present practitioners’ current methodological choices then...
Protecting and building soil carbon has become a global policy priority, novel agronomic fertilization practices may contribute to protection climate-smart agriculture. The application of microbial inoculants (biofertilizers) is considered beneficial for climate -smart Therefore, an exhaustive meta-analysis biofertilization studies was carried out worldwide quantify the benefits on SOC concentration. Based 59 267 observations, found that biofertilizers significantly increased concentration...
ABSTRACT Most transmission system operators (TSOs) currently use seasonally steady‐state models considering limiting weather conditions that serve as reference to compute the capacity of overhead power lines. The dynamic line rating (DLR) can avoid construction new lines, market splitting, false congestions, and degradation lines in a cost‐effective way. DLR also be used long run grid extension planning. In short run, it should help operate systems with congested operation is planned have...
Many different alternatives exist to manage and treat sewage sludge, all with the common drawback of causing environmental odour impacts. The main objective this work is present a full inventory gaseous odorous emissions generated during bench-scale composting conventional aiming at assessing process performance providing global valuable information emission patterns factors found for greenhouse gases (GHG) odorant pollutants sludge process. parameters evaluated were temperature material,...
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polyesters of significant interest due to their biodegradability and properties similar petroleum-derived plastics, as well the fact that they can be produced from renewable sources such by-product streams. In this study, brewer's spent grain (BSG), main brewing industry, was subjected a set physicochemical pretreatments effect on release reducing sugars (RS) evaluated. The RS obtained were used substrate for further PHA production in Burkholderia cepacia,...
