Effects of Temperature on Mercury Methylation and Demethylation in Boreal Wetland Soils
Abstract Wetlands are critical sites for methylmercury (MeHg) production, a neurotoxin that bioaccumulates in organisms and biomagnifies in aquatic food webs. Net MeHg production in wetland soil depends on the balance between microbially mediated MeHg production and the degradation of MeHg through both microbial and abiotic pathways.

Anaerobic digestion of aliphatic polyesters
Anaerobic processes for the treatment of plastic materials waste represent versatile and effective approach in environmental protection and solid waste management. In this work, anaerobic biodegradability of model aliphatic polyesters, poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA), and poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL), in the form of powder and melt-pressed films with varying ...

A Stereospecific Lactic Acid Exclusion Biosensor for Grass Silage Fed Green Biorefinery
Grass‐silage fed green biorefineries require high‐quality grass‐silage leachates to produce high‐quality products. The steps required to create Escherichia coli based d‐ and l‐lactic acid biosensors applicable to these leachates begins by removing biosensor interference by removing catabolic pathways that correspond to compounds found in grass‐silage ...

Conversion Processes in Anaerobic Digestion
Six different conversion processes are identified in the degradation of particulate organic material (biopolymers) to methane. Hydrolysis of particulate material is followed by the degradation of the hydrolysis and intermediary products by five independent groups of microorganisms. Process and growth kinetic data for the six processes are reviewed. The

qPCR results of semi-continuous anaerobic digestion with and without vacuum stripping of digestate
To avoid inhibition of ammonia on acetogenesis and methanogenesis, a small portion of in-reactor digestate can be replaced daily by vacuum stripped digestate. Vacuum stripping of ammonia may also increase methane generation.

A Computer Program for Modeling the Conversion of Organic Waste to Energy
This paper presents a tool for the analysis of conversion of organic waste into energy. The tool is a program that uses waste characterization parameters and mass flow rates at each stage of the waste treatment process to predict the given products.
