Enhancing organic waste management in Ghana through vermicomposting with Eudrilus eugeniae: Implications for sustainable agriculture and waste reduction

open access: yesKuwait Journal of Science
Ghana faces considerable challenges in managing municipal solid waste (MSW), with 49 %–68 % of it consisting of organic matter. Vermicomposting, an aerobic composting process employing various species of redworms and earthworms, presents a favourable ...

Aqueous extracts of composted oil refinery sludge and their possible environmental impacts

open access: yesWater Science and Technology
Oil refinery sludge (ORS) management is a global concern, yet information on its low-cost biotransformation possibility is fairly limited. We present a novel approach for ORS mitigation by Eisenia fetida and Eudrilus eugeniae and aerobic composting (AC ...

Biocompatibility of Kaffir Lime Fruit Juice Powered ZnO Nanoparticles in Earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae: A Green Biomimetic Approach

open access: yesBioResources
ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using the raw juice of Kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix) fruit bya simple and cost-effective green route and its effects on earthworms, Eudrilus eugeniae, were studied. The kaffir-lime powered ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO:KL) were
