In this study, two different organic fractions of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) served as raw material in a novel treatment process that combines thermal hydrolysis (TH) pretreatment at times, followed by anaerobic digestion the fraction and photo-fermentation liquid fraction. The results indicate both wastes performed similarly, no statistically relevant differences stand out on overall performance regarding TH times. improves biodegradability during compensating loss matter produced biogas...
Abstract Purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) showed an enormous potential for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production using the hydrolysate from lignocellulosic waste as feedstock. Thermal hydrolysis pretreatment was carried out at three different temperatures (120, 150, and 180°C) aiming to improve biodegradability of waste. After this pretreatment, two streams are collected: a solid liquid fraction. The anaerobic digestion process pretreated fraction 180°C increased its extent by 31%...
Bioplastics offer a promising sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics due their biodegradability as well favourable thermal and mechanical properties. Among different types of biobased polymers, the production polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) using purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) low-value substrates has gained increasing interest. Despite momentum, challenges regarding scalability environmental feasibility this biopolymer pathway remain. In response, study employs an exploratory...
Abstract The EU's bioeconomy strategy has a strong commitment to the development of biotechnological approaches convert municipal solid biowastes into value‐added products. In this context, current study investigated thermophilic co‐fermentation pruning lignocellulosic and food wastes co‐produce hydrogen carboxylic acids. Steam explosion pretreatment considerably enhanced chemical oxygen demand (COD) solubilization reaching values up 80% even with high waste content. Acidification yield in...
This research examines the use of organic fraction municipal solid waste (OFMSW) in a biorefinery framework. Organic matter is effectively solubilized through optimized thermal hydrolysis with severity index (SI) between 2.3 and 3.3. Subsequent anaerobic digestion consistently produces methane, showcasing sustainable energy recovery pathway. Moreover, purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) demonstrate remarkable adaptability, converting liquid hydrolysates into value-added polyhydroxyalkanoates...
El desarrollo de asignaturas experimentales basadas en la elaboración informes grupales forma colaborativa conlleva una carga trabajo. Se propone nueva metodología basada asignación un líder o portavoz grupo, evaluando su efecto sobre las calificaciones. observa ligera mejoría prácticas mayor dificultad, y se disminuyen incidencias retrasos entregas los informes, percibiendo por tanto notable. Esta metodología, valorada positivamente estudiantes, exige que todos integrantes del grupo...
