Microorganism degradation efficiency in BOD analysis formulating a specific microbial consortium in a pulp and paper mill effluent
(2014-11)
"Pulp and paper mills are a major source of pollution, generating huge amounts of intensely colored effluent that goes to the receiving end of a wastewater treatment plant. The biochemical oxygen demand test (BOD5) relies ...
Coconut endocarp and mesocarp as both biosorbents of dissolved hydrocarbons in fuel spills and as a power source when exhausted
(2018-04)
"Health and environmental problems associated with the presence of toxic aromatic compounds in water from oil spills have motivated research to develop effective and economically viable strategies to remove these pollutants. ...
The role of organic load and ammonia inhibition in anaerobic digestion of tannery fleshing
(Elsevier, 2018)
"In this study, batch tests on anaerobic digestion of tannery fleshing (skin-residue waste from hides’ tanning process), as sole substrate, have been performed with the purpose of assessing the effects of high substrate ...
Agave bagasse biorefinery: processing and perspectives
(Springer, 2018)
"Agave bagasse (AB) is the main solid waste generated by the tequila industry in Mexico, which is an environmental concern due to its considerable volume of production (377,000 Ton in 2016). AB is a lignocellulosic biomass ...
Mathematical modeling of a composting process in a small-scale tubular bioreactor
(Elsevier, 2017)
"A mathematical model is presented to describe a composting process occurring in a tubular bioreactor. The mathematical model is based on heat and mass transfer phenomena under the continuum approximation. The bioreactor ...
Graphene oxide triggers mass transfer limitations on the methanogenic activity of an anaerobic consortium with a particulate substrate
(Elsevier, 2018)
"Graphene oxide (GO) is an emerging nanomaterial widely used in many manufacturing applications, which is frequently discharged in many industrial effluents eventually reaching biological wastewater treatment systems (WWTS). ...
Methane production enhanced by reduced graphene oxide in an anaerobic consortium supplied with particulate and soluble substrates
(Wiley, 2020)
"BACKGROUND Graphene materials have extensively been applied in several industries due to their enhanced properties. Predictably, these materials also end up in wastewaters generated from industrial sectors, and their ...
Modeling the disintegration process in anaerobic digestion of tannery sludge and fleshing
(2017)
"Mathematical modeling of anaerobic digestion (AD) is widely acknowledged as a powerful tool to v of the process and to support full-scale plant design, operation and optimization. In this work, a modified version of the ...
Enhancing saccharification of Agave tequilana bagasse by oxidative delignification and enzymatic synergism for the production of hydrogen and methane
(Elsevier, 2018)
"Agave tequilana bagasse is a suitable lignocellulosic residue for energy production. However, the presence of lignin and the heterogeneous structure of hemicellulose may hinder the availability of polysaccharides. In this ...
