The enormous quantity of food wastes discarded annually forces a look into alternatives for this interesting feedstock.
The manufacturing process of cork generate a high volume industrial wastewater which presents significant organic pollution and low biodegradability. Solar photo-Fenton has been investigated for the remediation these effluents with good reductions load demonstrating to be an efficient alternative allowing possibility combine other processes. This work proposes treatment line improvement this based on innovative solar prototype optimizes irradiation improving removal rate pollutants....
Cork sector plays an important economic role in several Mediterranean regions whose manufacturing process consists of stages involving waste generation, mainly industrial water or cork boiling wastewater (CBW). These products have traditionally been considered as simple pollutants, but CBW contains interesting compounds for recovery, however, their chemical characterization is long, difficult and expensive due to the high organic load. This work studied advanced valorization through a...
Cork is the outer bark of cork oak tree and its main use as a quality natural material for wine stoppers. The manufacturing process involves several stages with waste generation, mainly industrial water from boiling planks. Due to toxicological properties these effluents, they must be treated before their discharge into public courses by sophisticated treatment processes. This work studies application concept biorefinery, based in sequential membrane order achieve both: source useful...
