Removing petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) from polluted soil is challenging due to their low bioavailability and degradability. In this study, an experiment was carried out treat with hydrocarbon using a hybrid electro-Fenton (with BDD anode electrode) biological processes stimulated long-chain rhamnolipids (biosurfactants). Electro-Fenton treatment applied as pretreatment before the process enhance PHC biodegradability, which would benefit subsequent process. The effects of initial pH,...
This paper reports the activity, promoted by Italian agency for new technologies, energy and sustainable economic development (ENEA), in framework of project implementation first Platform Industrial Symbiosis implemented Sicily (2011Sicily ( -2015)).The goals were: to provide a methodology an instrument industrial symbiosis at regional scale, implement IS as support SMEs individuate opportunities region.The whole approach includes: network activation, platform architecture design...
Bioremediation technologies have been widely used to clean up sites contaminated with various pollutants. Although these biological-based may present a more sustainable appeal, the impacts they can pose on natural resources or climate change are rarely assessed. Hence in this study, environmental performances of bioslurry and microbial electrochemical treatment (MET) compared using life cycle assessment method SimaPro 9.1 software, primary hotspots system fifteen impact options evaluated...
Abstract Within the circular economy framework, our study aims to assess rhamnolipid production from winery and olive oil residues as low-cost carbon sources by nonpathogenic strains. After evaluating various agricultural those two sectors, Burkholderia thailandensis E264 was found use raw soluble fraction of nonfermented (white) grape marcs (NF), sole energy source, simultaneously, reducing surface tension around 35 mN/m. Interestingly, this strain showed a up 1070 mg/L (13.37 mg/g NF),...
Petroleum and petroleum product exploration, transportation, processing, burning negatively impact soil ecosystems cause severe damage. Hence, a study was conducted to evaluate the performance of microbial electrochemical treatment (MET) in terms biodegradation electricity generation with hydrocarbon-polluted by adding rice straw biochar pyrolyzed at 600 °C for different doses 4, 8, 12% w/w. This confirmed first time that increasing dose from 8 w/w anodic chamber MET led decrease its...
The European Union is targeting climate neutrality by 2050, with a focus on enhancing energy efficiency, expanding renewable sources, and reducing emissions. Within Italy’s electricity mix, bioenergy namely biogas, solid biomass, bioliquids, play crucial territorial role. A comparative analysis was conducted through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), utilizing national data from the ARCADIA project, to assess environmental sustainability of investigated chains identify most convenient ones. study...
Over the past ten years, researchers have applied various approaches to treat petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and assess its performance based on removal efficiencies not environmental economic impacts. In this study, performances of operational stages electro-Fenton bio-slurry technologies are investigated compared using a life cycle assessment in treating hydrocarbon-polluted soil. The data used study were collected from primary secondary sources, potential 18 impacts calculated...
Different micronutrients are essential for bacterial fermentative metabolism. In particular, some metallic ions, like iron, able to affect the biological H₂production. this study, batch tests were carried out in stirred reactors investigate effects of Fe²⁺ concentration on H₂production from two different organic fractions waste: source-separated waste (OW) a composting plant including fraction municipal solid and food (FW) refectory. Iron supplementation at 1000 mg/L caused twofold increment...
This paper aims to compare the adsorption performance of activated carbon and pine bark for iron manganese removal from contaminated groundwater.Moreover, their environmental compatibility was checked possible use as reactive media in a permeable barrier situ remediation.Batch tests were carried out with different concentrations particle-size distributions, order evaluate effectiveness on depending both initial pollutant concentration surface area adsorbent.High efficiencies reached by...
