Thermochemical pretreatment in the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge

Water Science and Technology, 2002
Effects of a thermochemical pretreatment on the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS) was investigated by semicontinuously-fed digesters operated at 37¡C. WAS from a return sludge line of a municipal sewage treatment plant was pretreated by autoclaving at 130°C for 5 minutes after adding 0.3g NaOH/g VSS.

Integrating Business Process Management With the Sustainable Development Goals: A Multidimensional Framework for Systemic Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a multidimensional framework to integrate Business Process Management (BPM) with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), addressing gaps in research and practice. Through a bibliometric science mapping using keyword co‐occurrence network analysis in VOSviewer (Scopus 2015–2024), we identify five thematic clusters ...

Compostable and Recyclable Baroplastic Triblock Copolymers Enable Low‐Energy Polymer Processing

Small, EarlyView.
Baroplastic Poly(L‐lactide)‐block‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐block‐poly(L‐lactide) triblock copolymers enable ambient‐temperature processing under moderate pressure, reducing energy demand while preserving polymer integrity. The materials show rapid industrial compostability, effective chemical and physical recyclability, and compatibility with heat ...

EcoBot-II: An artificial agent with a natural metabolism [PDF]

, 2005
In this paper we report the development of the robot EcoBot-II, which exhibits a primitive form of artificial symbiosis. Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) were used as the onboard energy supply, which consisted of bacterial cultures from sewage sludge and ...

Infection with the Neorickettsial Organism Stellantchasmus falcatus Agent in an Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus)

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 1‐year‐old female‐intact arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) presented for diarrhea, lethargy, severe thrombocytopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia. Blood film evaluation revealed intracytoplasmic coccoid bacteria within moderate numbers of leukocytes consistent with infection by a rickettsial organism.

Moderate‐Temperature Hydrothermal Treatment Removes Detectable DNA and Antibiotic Resistance Genes From Municipal Sludge While Preserving Resource Value

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract shows the overall study design where dewatered wastewater sludge samples were collected and subjected to a range of HT temperatures. Measurement of nucleic acid concentration and antibiotic resistance gene profiles across temperatures showed that HT at moderate temperatures offers sustainable, scalable sludge sanitation and ARG ...

Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) with Waste Activated-Sludge

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2012
Two mesophilic batch digestion runs were set-up in which a FOG is co-digested with waste activated sludge. FOG loadings range from 0 to 50 % of the VS. This co-digestion of FOG and activated sludge successfully increased the biogas production up to 400 %
