Biofuel production from lignocellulose has recently been gaining much more attention as a
result. One major problem of using lignocellulosic materials for the production of biofuel is the …

With rapid world population growth and strict environmental regulations, increasingly large
volumes of sludge are being produced in today’s wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) with …

The management and disposal of solid waste is of increasing concern across the globe.
Hydrothermal processing of sludge has been suggested as a promising solution to deal with the …

The main objective of this study was to investigate the rheology of mixed primary and
secondary sludge and its dependency on solid content and temperature. Results of this study …

Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria have evolved a specialist lifestyle dependent on consumption
of methane and other short-chain carbon compounds. However, their apparent substrate …

In this study the comparative destruction of municipal biosolids using thermal hydrolysis (140
or 165C) and wet oxidation (220C) was followed by biological degradation via mesophilic …

Stereum hirsutum and Trametes versicolor, were studied over a period of 3–7 weeks for
pretreatment of radiata pine wood chips. Chemical analysis of pretreated biomass showed that …

This study compared the effect of four pure carbon supplements on biological denitrification
to a liquor derived as a by-product from the wet oxidation (WO) of waste activated sludge. …

The current study investigated the formation of organic acids and alcohols as major intermediate
products of wet oxidation of municipal sludge. Municipal sludge was subjected to 60-…

Ultra-high molecular weight polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) with low polydispersity index (PDI
= 1.3) were produced in a novel, pilot scale application of mixed cultures of nitrogen-fixing …
