Compost from pine bark has been previously suggested as an effective low-cost biosorbent for different classes of textile dyes, although the existing studies have performed in non-competitive batch conditions, so effect competition or adsorption continuous-flow conditions not assessed. In this work, removal Basic Violet 10 (BV10) and Direct Blue 151 (DB151) by compost single bi-solute mixtures studied fixed-bed column experiments. Adsorption capacity was three times higher BV10 than DB151...
The utilization of biosurfactants for the bioremediation contaminated soil is not yet well established, because high production cost biosurfactants. Consequently, it interesting to look new that can be produced at a large scale, and employed sites. In this work, from Lactobacillus pentosus growing in hemicellulosic sugars solutions, with similar composition found trimming vine shoot hydrolysates, were octane. It was observed presence biosurfactant L. accelerated biodegradation octane soil....
The capability of a cell bound biosurfactant produced by Lactobacillus pentosus , to accelerate the bioremediation hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, was compared with synthetic anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulphate SDS-). bacteria analyzed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) that clearly indicates presence OH and NH groups, C=O stretching carbonyl groups nebding (peptide linkage), as well CH 2 –CH 3 C–O stretching, similar FTIR spectra than other biosurfactants obtained from...
Advancing towards sustainable cities needs a better understanding of all components urban ecosystems, including soils, but the biological component soils remains poorly studied compared to natural and agricultural soils. With objective advancing knowledge in this aspect, we microbiological properties 61 city Santiago de Compostela (NW Spain), under several land uses (urban grassland, forest, garden, periurban arable land). We determined thirteen extracellular enzymatic activities as proxy...
Research on biosorption of organic dyes is an important subject for the development clean technologies treatment textile wastewater. In this work, process sorption four different natures, namely Basic Violet 10 (BV10), Acid Red 27 (AR27), Direct Blue 151 (DB151) and Reactive 4 (RV4) onto two composts, pine bark compost municipal solid waste compost, has been studied. For this, kinetics equilibrium at solution pH values (3.0–7.0) salinity (0–1.0 M KCl) conditions have assessed in batch...
Trace element contamination is one of the main problems linked to quality compost, especially when it produced from urban wastes, which can lead high levels some potentially toxic elements such as Cu, Pb or Zn. In this work, distribution and bioavailability five (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr Ni) were studied in Spanish composts obtained different feedstocks (municipal solid waste, garden trimmings, sewage sludge mixed manure). The showed total concentrations these elements, cases limited their...
The soil microbiome in urban agriculture has not received much attention to date despite its important role functionality. In this work, we evaluated the composition and diversity of fungal bacterial communities through DNA extraction ITS/16S marker gene sequencing 40 samples collected from 10 allotment garden areas city Santiago de Compostela (northwestern Spain). Despite anthropogenic activities are expected affect negatively microbial diversity, richness both was comparable that soils...
Agricultural residues are produced in large quantities and their management is an issue all over the world. Many of these consist plant materials different degrees transformation, so returning them back to soil a option that closes loops circular economy context. The objective this paper summarize current knowledge on options effects reusing agricultural as organic amendments. reuse good solution for minimizing problems associated with management, while improving health ecosystem functions....
