Complete nitrogen removal depends on the requirement of oxygen as an electron acceptor and organics donors. In natural environment, these acceptors donors regulate cycle in association with several nature-based processes, such iron dependent (feammox), sulphur (sulfammox), nitrite (annamox). These processes represent latest discoveries nitrification part provide for anaerobic ammonium oxidation. Research findings suggest that a previously undescribed pathway is available oxidation, which can...
Crisps and prefried french fries were prepared during industrial operations in order to study the possibility of using sunflower oils («normal» high oleic) instead palm olein mixtures partially hydrogenated vegetable oil frying. The quality food items was evaluated by determining total amount polar components, different components fraction (dimers, oxidized triglycerides, diglycerides), quantity cyclic fatty acid monomers (CFAM), as well 18:2 geometrical isomers. For both production crisps...
The biogas production of seaweed is commonly patterned to conventional digester wherein the anaerobic condition optimized for terrestrial biomass. high salt content and its different structural component than plants may contribute low conversion efficiency. Hence, freshwater (FW) thalassic (TH) digestion Ulva species were compared determine more suitable condition. Biological hydrolysis pretreatment (BHP) was done improve methane yield, while NaOH (CNP) employed minimize limitation...
The seasonal availability of Ulva spp. (U) poses a problem for the continuous operation thalassic (TH) biogas digesters. Hence, rice straw (RS) was tested as an alternative substrate because its abundance in Asian countries. anaerobic monodigestion (AMD) RS performed under freshwater (FW) and TH conditions to investigate production performance using terrestrial biomass. Biological hydrolysis (BH-P) 3% NaOH (NaOH-P) pretreatments were employed minimize limitation biomass methane fermentation...
Ecklonia spp. is available during summer (June–September), making it a possible rotational brown seaweed feedstock for biogas production. Hence, production of was tested in pilot-scale (120 L volume) semi-continuous fixed-bed digester under thalassic (high salinity) condition – seeded with marine bacteria. The biogasification efficiency obtained terms its theoretical methane yield (345.6 mL CH4/g VS) 68.5%. This higher than batch (5.8%). successful may help secure the continuous operation...
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization of Japan (NUMO) was established in 2000 as the organization responsible for deep geological disposal specified radioactive waste. Their siting process initiated through open solicitation volunteer host communities. However, no communities came forward with exception Toyo Town, which applied initial literature survey, but then withdrew application due to strong opposition 2007. To identify why mayor Town failed, we analyzed his behavior and leadership...
Mangrove forest is an ecosystem-based solution for disaster risk reduction in the Philippines, but its historical deforestation has hampered capacity to protect coastal communities. With increasing occurrence of storm surge mangrove reforestation projects have received renewed attention, many failed. Community participation was deemed be essential those that did well. Hence, this paper examines successful restoration and rehabilitation Philippines find out how community contributed...
The Japanese government decided to implement environmental remediation after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (termed "1F" in Japan) accident on 11th March 2011. As initial additional annual dose target was set be 1 mSv or less as a long-term goal, we examined decision-making process undertaken by then leaders, particularly Minister of Ministry Environment (MOE) who responsible for final decision. We found that technically based assessment targets, health effects and risk-based...
Biogasification is the suitable biomass-to-biofuel technology in rural areas. In coastal communities, seaweed an abundant feedstock for household biogas digester. However, biogasification requires expensive and dangerous chemicals pH adjustment. Hence, Venerupis species shell was tested as buffer on of Undaria pinnatifida. Addition 3% 5% (w/w) at start digestion successfully started [86.4 ml CH4/g volatile solid (VS) 109.5 VS, respectively]. efficiencies setups (3% shell: 24.2%, 30.7%, “BH...
