Upgrading consists of a range purification processes aimed at increasing the methane content biogas to reach specifications similar natural gas. In this perspective, an environmental assessment, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, different upgrading technologies is helpful identify characteristics biomethane and critical steps for improvement. The aim work conduct LCA production from waste feedstock, using SimaPro software. study focuses comparison several (namely, membrane...
The effect of four triazinyl-sulfonylurea herbicides (cinosulfuron, prosulfuron, thifensulfuron methyl, triasulfuron) on soil microbial biomass, respiration, metabolic activity, quotient, and some enzymatic activities (acid alkaline phosphatase, β-glucosidase, arylsulphatase, fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis) were monitored under controlled conditions over 30 days. applied at the normal field dose (FD) ten-fold (10 FD) dose, in order to mimic a long term toxic effect. measured parameters...
In the aquatic environment, plastics may release several hazardous substances of severe ecotoxicological concern not covalently bound to polymers. The aim this study was examine adverse effects leachates different virgin polymers, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polystyrene (PS) on marine microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta. tests carried out D. tertiolecta included: growth inhibition, oxidative stress (DCFH-DA), DNA damage (COMET assay). Polypropylene PS produced inhibition at...
Aeromonas hydrophila strains isolated from the same geographical region (southern Italy) but different sources (sea sediments and human diarrhea cases) were characterized for production of potential virulence determinants, such as cytotoxins, cytotonic toxins, hemolysin, dermonecrotic factors their capacity to adhere intestinal 407 cells in vitro. The results showed that isolates both produced all or some which may be involved pathogenesis Aeromonas-associated infections. Our study indicates...
The occurrence of Clostridium difficile in nine wastewater treatment plants the Ticino Canton (southern Switzerland) was investigated. samples were collected from raw sewage influents and treated effluents. Forty-seven out 55 characterized C. strains belonged to 13 different reference PCR ribotypes (009, 010, 014, 015, 039, 052, 053, 066, 070, 078, 101, 106, 117), whereas 8 did not match any those available our libraries. most frequently isolated ribotype (40%) six plants, a toxigenic...
Suitable plant species are able to accumulate heavy metals and produce biomass useful for non-food purposes. In this study, three endemic Mediterranean species, Atriplex halimus, Portulaca oleracea Medicago lupulina were grown hydroponically assess their potential use in phytoremediation production. The experiment was carried out a growth chamber using half strength Hoagland's solutions separately spiked with 5 concentrations of Pb Zn (5, 10, 25, 50, 100 mg L(-1)), 3 Ni (1, 2 L(-1)). Shoot...
