The biodegradation of PHB, PHBV, PBS, PBAT, PCL, PLA, and a PLA-PCL blend was compared under aerobic anaerobic aqueous conditions assessing kinetics, extent, carbon fate particle size influence (in the range 100-1000 µm). Under standard test conditions, PHB PBHV were biodegraded anaerobically (83.9 ± 1.3% 81.2 1.7%, respectively) in 77 days or aerobically (83.0 1.6% 87.4 7.5%) 117 days, while PCL only (77.6 2.4%) 177 days. Apparent biomass growth accounted for 10 to 30.5% total initial...

Biofiltration, activated sludge diffusion, biotrickling filtration, chemical scrubbing, carbon adsorption, regenerative incineration, and a hybrid technology (biotrickling filtration coupled with adsorption) are comparatively evaluated in terms of environmental performance, process economics, social impact by using the IChemE Sustainability Metrics context odor treatment from wastewater plants (WWTP). This comparative analysis showed that physical/chemical technologies presented higher...

The potential of a pilot high rate algal pond (HRAP) interconnected via liquid recirculation with an external absorption column for the simultaneous removal H2S and CO2 from biogas using alkaliphilic microalgal-bacterial consortium was evaluated. A bubble preferred as unit to packed bed based on its ease operation, despite showing comparable mass transfer capacity. When combined HRAP-bubble system operated under continuous mode mineral salt medium at residence time 30 min in column, removed...

The influence of biogas flow rate (0, 0.3, 0.6, and 1.2 m3 m–2 h–1) on the elemental macromolecular composition algal-bacterial biomass produced from upgrading in a 180 L photobioreactor interconnected to 2.5 external bubbled absorption column was investigated using diluted anaerobically digested vinasse as cultivation medium. liquid recirculation/biogas ratio (0.5 < L/G 67) removal CO2 H2S, concentrations O2 N2 upgraded biogas, also evaluated. A 10 considered optimum support H2S removals...
