Biological treatment of biowaste as an innovative source of CO—The role of composting process

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an essential “building block” for producing everyday chemicals on industrial scale. Carbon monoxide can also be generated though a lesser-known and sometimes forgotten biorenewable pathways that could be explored to advance ...

Visible Light-Induced Reactivity of Plasmonic Gold Nanoparticles Incorporated into TiO₂ Matrix towards 2-Chloroethyl Ethyl Sulfide

Crystals, 2021
Inexpensive strategies for efficient decontamination of hazardous chemicals are required. In this study, the effect of visible light (λ > 400 nm) on the decomposition of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES, a sulfur mustard (HD) simulant) on Au/TiO2 ...

Methanotrophs: Discoveries, Environmental Relevance, and a Perspective on Current and Future Applications

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy conservation is exclusively attributed to the archaeal domain.

SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE EXPOSED SILO FACE AS QUICK INDICATOR OF THE DECOMPOSITION PROCESS OF MAIZE SILAGE [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2015
Silage temperature and oxygen concentration are critical parameters for controlling the silage process. Anaerobic condition with lower and stable temperature is necessary for quality silage making.

Atomic insight into the thermobaric effect of aluminized explosives

FirePhysChem, 2022
The addition of active metallic particles to common explosives can greatly extend high-temperature and high-pressure time of explosion, as the so-called thermobaric effect. However, the atomic details for this effect remain unclear. This work presents an

Greenhouse gas dynamics in degraded and restored tropical peatlands [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2016
Agricultural and other land uses on ombrotrophic lowland tropical peat swamps typically lead to reduced vegetation biomass and water table drawdown. We review what is known about greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics in natural and degraded tropical peat systems
