Carbon black as an alternative cathode material for electrical energy recovery and transfer in a microbial battery

Scientific Reports, 2017
Rather than the conventional concept of viewing conductive carbon black (CB) to be chemically inert in microbial electrochemical cells (MECs), here we confirmed the redox activity of CB for its feasibility as an electron sink in the microbial battery (MB)

Renewable resources and waste recycling [PDF]

Environmental Modeling & Assessment, 2002
In this paper we consider an endogenous growth model involving, among other inputs, a renewable resource and secondary materials. Using this analytical framework we explain the effects of waste recycling on the growth rate of the economy, that we take into account.

Overlooked risk of antibiotic resistance genes in typical landfill plumes and their influencing factors

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Landfills are one of the primary reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Previous studies always focus on the distribution of ARGs in landfill leachate, while the distribution of ARGs in groundwater around the landfill and the corresponding ...
