Many aquaculture systems generate high amounts of wastewater containing compounds such as suspended solids, total nitrogen and phosphorus. Today, is imperative because fish demand increasing. However, the load waste directly proportional to production. Therefore, it necessary develop more intensive culture with efficient for treatment. A number physical, chemical biological methods used in conventional treatment have been applied systems. Constructed wetlands technology becoming important...
Abstract The shells of walnuts (WS) are major refuse in the global fruits and nuts trade. This, otherwise discarded, lignin-rich material can be carbonized to biochar—a value-added product with environmental applications such as carbon sequestration, soil amelioration, pollutant adsorption. These dictated by structural chemical characteristics biochar carbon. Conventional controlled pyrolysis (CPy) biomass is cost-intensive technically too complex for widespread adoption, especially emerging...
Abstract The increase in mineral and ash-rich waste biomass (MWB) generation emerging economies poses critical environmental problems bottlenecks the solid wastewater treatment systems. Transforming these MWB such as sewage sludge from (SSW) to biochar can be a sustainable method for their disposal resource recovery. However, has limited applicability due relatively low organic content possibly contaminated nature of SSW. This may offset through combined pyrolysis with other MWB, which also...
The importance of green technologies is steadily growing. Salt-tolerant plants have been proposed as energy crops for cultivation on saline lands. Halophytes such Salicornia europaea, Tripolium pannonicum, Crithmum maritimum and Chenopodium quinoa, among many other species, can be cultivated in lands, coastal areas or treating wastewater, the biomass might used biogas production an integrated process biorefining. However, halophytes different salt tolerance mechanisms, including...
Abstract Salt-tolerant halophytes have shown potential for biorefinery and agricultural use in salt-affected soils, increasing the value of marginal lands. They could provide a bio-based source compounds obtained from petrochemical industry or an alternative biomass currently imported overseas. Salicornia europaea , Tripolium pannonicum Crithmum maritimum were cultivated hydroponic systems under various salinity conditions, harvested green but not food-grade, fractionated to juice fibre...
Abstract Due to changes in the ecosystem and misuse of resources, salinity also increases. Approximately 20% all irrigated land is affected by this will increase over time. Therefore, it necessary develop more environmentally friendly agricultural techniques but exploit potential crops with high nutritional value tolerance like quinoa ( Chenopodium Willd.). In context, potassium an essential macronutrient for plant growth development. Furthermore, one strategies some salt‐tolerant plants...
The increasing number of pharmaceuticals in the environment and their difficult biodegradation, can lead to bioaccumulation different trophic compartments. Their have negative consequences, especially generation bacterial resistance by antibiotics, but also impairment plant animal metabolism. Tejo estuary Portugal is habitat for many species, which are prone this type contamination. Therefore, present study classes emerging pollutants (EPs) were surveyed water samples estuary, including...
The halophyte plant species Salicornia europaea and ramosissima were investigated for their potential to serve as a substrate biogas production. was cultivated in hydroponic systems under varying salt concentrations (0, 10, 20, 30 g/L NaCl), while S. grown greenhouse farming with aquaculture effluent irrigation. biomethane of the two feedstocks determined through batch experiments, correlations biochemical composition investigated. Ash mineral content correlated increasing concentration used...
The biodegradation of the antibiotic sulfamethazine (SMT) by using different crude extracts halophytes was investigated. For this purpose, water Chenopodium quinoa, Sesuvium portulacastrum, and Tripolium pannonicum were prepared. Different amounts SMT added to (final concentration 1, 2, 5 mg L-1) incubated at 37 °C. Crude T. further used evaluate degradation rate over time. In order influence endophytic or naturally plant-associated microorganisms on SMT, from plants grown in sterile...
Abiotic stress conditions, such as salinity, affect plant development and productivity threaten the sustainability of agricultural production. Salt has been proven to accumulate in soil water over time a result various anthropogenic activities climatic changes. Species genus Salicornia thrive most saline environments have wide tolerance. They can be found variety subtropical, oceanic, continental environments. This study aims establish europaea novel source plant-based compounds that grow...
Many publications describe cryopreservation techniques but only a few studies have focused on the biochemical and physiological changes occurring in plants regenerated from seeds exposed to liquid nitrogen. This paper aims at describing effect of common bean seed cryostorage mineral nutrition young plantlets. The following elements were measured leaves 10-day-old plantlets non-cryopreserved cryopreserved seeds: Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, S, Se, Sr Zn. At 10 days...
Abstract Soil salinity is considered one of the major global challenges that agricultural production currently facing. This condition, together with increasing contamination emerging pollutants, poses a serious risk for food security. As efforts are made to develop nature-based solutions, bioremediation strategies have been implemented harness different living organisms and mitigate environmental pollution. Halophytes grow in highly saline environment can be solution valorize salt-degraded...
