In the present study, the potential inhibitory effect of biologically pre-treated vegetable tannery wastewater (TW) on anammox granular biomass was evaluated. Beside high organic and chemicals load, vegetable TW are characterised by high salinity and high tannins concentration, the latter belonging to a group of bio-refractory organic compounds, potentially inhibitory for several bacterial species.

Bacterial Cellulose as a Scaffold for Electrode Materials in Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion
/
Wang, Wenhai ;
Tonti, Dino, dir.
La cellulosa bacteriana ("bacterial cellulose" - BC) és un biopolímer amb diverses propietats destacades, com ara la composició pura, les fibres nanomètriques i una alta retenció d'aigua. A partir d'aquestes propietats, la BC es va utilitzar en aquesta tesi com a bastida per processar elèctrodes per a aplicacions d'emmagatzematge i conversió d'energia electroquímica ("electrochemical energy storage and conversion" - EESC). [...]

Gabriel, David (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Enginyeria Química, Biològica i Ambiental) ;
Munz, Giulio (University of Florence. Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering)
Partial denitrification is emerging as a valuable solution for NO supply in Anammox systems. When reduced sulphur compounds are used as electron donors, S-driven Partial Autotrophic Denitrification (PAD) can also be achieved, allowing for an integrated autotrophic nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) removal from liquid and gaseous streams. [...]

Rice and rapeseed agricultural wastes, as nonliving biomass, are proposed for heavy metal remediation in polluted effluents (chromium, cadmium, copper and lead). The physicochemical characterization of these biomasses shows that the surface of both sorbents is negatively charged (zeta potential), the surface area of sorbents is 4. [...]

Climate change effects on marine ecosystems include impacts on primary production, ocean temperature, species distributions, and abundance at local to global scales. These changes will significantly alter marine ecosystem structure and function with associated socio-economic impacts on ecosystem services, marine fisheries, and fishery-dependent societies. [...]

Considering that urban agriculture (UA) is currently on the rise due to its multiple benefits in addition to environmental ones, it would also be necessary to foresee the flow of solid waste it generates, which if not properly managed or used, could become a new waste problem within the cities. [...]
Afterwards, a creative session was held where specialists in order to identify possible applications of the stems through group techniques for the generation of ideas and the evaluation of concepts. Finally, tests were carried out with the material and a semi-quantitative evaluation of the resulting concepts was carried out using an eco-design metric. [...]

The soil quality index (SQI) is based on several key indicators and is used to assess soil quality. More than 250,000 ha of walnut saplings (Juglans regia L. ) were planted in previous cropland areas in the Sichuan Basin, China, using a range of soil cover types that may affect soil quality with effects that are unclear.

Drought stress limits growth and yield of crops, particularly under smallholder production systems with minimal use of inputs and edaphic limitations such as nitrogen (N) deficiency. The development of genotypes adapted to these conditions through genetic improvement is an important strategy to address this limitation. [...]
