Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Are Ecosystems the Missing Link in Circular Transitions? Insights From a Comprehensive Literature Analysis

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although recent literature on the circular economy (CE) has highlighted the important role of ecosystems, there is still limited understanding of the main themes that characterize circular ecosystems. This study addresses this gap by combining a comprehensive topic modeling analysis employing latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) with a systematic

2017 State-of the Science of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil (DDO) in U.S. Arctic Waters: Degradation and Fate [PDF]

, 2017
Chemical dispersants were employed on an unprecedented scale during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and could be a response option should a large spill occur in Arctic waters. The use of dispersants in response to that spill raised

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Biodegradability studies and contact phase trials towards a cleaner environment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process, developed in our previous study, is used for septic wastewater treatment. This high‐rate contact stabilization pre‐treatment uses typical waste streams found in wastewater treatment plants to reduce a portion of the loadings on the main treatment trains.

An improved procedure to assess the organic biodegradability and the biomethane potential of organic wastes for anaerobic digestion

Waste Management Research, 2019
In this study a fractionation procedure was developed and applied to evaluate the potential of some organic wastes (two cattle manures and two catch crops, fresh and after ensiling) for anaerobic digestion. This procedure was based on water extraction of

Application of Anaerobic and Ozonation Processes in the Landfill Leachate Treatment [PDF]

, 2006
The optimization of leachate treatment was investigated as well as the configuration of a biological-ozonation process. The leachate used for the experiments was diluted to 1/5 with tap water and treated anaerobically.
