Stripping‐based approach for the recovery of volatile fatty acids from anaerobic digestion digestate: preliminary experimental investigations and modelling

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are widely used across industries: as intermediates in chemical production (e.g., solvents and polymers), in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and as preservatives and health‐promoting additives in food and animal feed. Emerging applications also include bioplastics, bioenergy, and biotechnology.

Modified Biochar for Wastewater Nutrient Recovery and Slow‐Release Fertilization in Sandy Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modified biochars are increasingly recognized as multifunctional materials for wastewater nutrient recovery and slow‐release fertilization in sandy agroecosystems. This review evaluates modified biochars, with particular emphasis on tyre‐derived biochar (TBC), for (i) recovery of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from wastewater and digestate ...

Climate‐smart land management: Greenhouse gas outcomes and social and economic pathways to adoption

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.

Maize Silage Digestate Application Affecting Germination and Early Growth of Maize Modulated by Soil Type

Agronomy, 2019
During biogas production anaerobic digestion of plant material produces a nutrient-rich residue called digestate. The application of the nutrients present in the digestate should improve soil fertility, particularly in nutrient poor soils, and thus crop ...
