agricultural waste
Waste products excreted by livestock: or a mixture of litter and waste products excreted by livestock, even in processed form. EEC, 1991, Council Directive 91/676/EEC of 12 December...
Agriculture is one of the important sectors in transforming the European economy and society towards a long-term sustainability. While contributing to this transition, European farmers will at the same time face...
Scientists at the DHBW Karlsruhe create a concept study and prototype
Korea-Spain joint research team develops an itaconic acid mass production method using inexpensive raw materials such as byproducts from gas fermentation from steel mills...
In this current research, the left-over residues collected from the dark fermentation-microbial electrolysis cells (DF-MEC) integrated system solely biocatalyzed by activated sludge during the bioconversion of the agricultural straw...
Combined Bio-Hydrogen, Heat, and Power Production Based on Residual Biomass Gasification: Energy, Exergy, and Renewability Assessment of an Alternative Process Configuration
Bio-hydrogen from residual biomass may involve energy-intensive pre-treatments for drying and size management, as in the case of wet agro-industrial residues. This work assesses the performance of an alternative process layout...
Using of geographic information systems (GIS) to determine the suitable site for collecting agricultural residues
The main aim of this study is to use the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques to determine the optimum site to collect the residues in order to reduce cost and increase the benefits. To achieve...
Proof of concept for developing novel feeds for cattle from wasted food and crop biomass to enhance agri-food system efficiency
Modern agri-food systems generate large amounts of crop-based biomass that are unfit for direct human consumption but potentially suitable for livestock feeding in production of meats, milk...
Use treated wastewater to irrigate and fertilise fields, meeting up to 70% of the Emilia-Romagna region's irrigation water needs, also reducing fertiliser costs by around 30%. This is the result...
