Production of value added products from separately collected urine

Production of value added products from separately collected urine.

For many reasons it is advantageous to collect urine separately and collection systems, so called "no-mix-toilets" exist. Therefore, this work deals with some methods to make use of this urine to produce value added products: IBDU and ammonia water. It could be shown that urea can be converted to IBDU only after concentrating urine. With air stripping and absorption ammonificated urine can be t...

Fermentative Production of Value-Added Products from Lignocellulosic Biomass

Bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass (agro residues, grasses, wood, weed, dedicated energy crops and others) into biofuels and other value-added products offers numerous geopolitical, environmental, and strategic benefits. Ligno-cellulosic biomass (LB) is the most abundant renewable organic resources (∼200 billion tons annually) on earth that are readily available for conversion to biofuels...

Value Added Products from Oil Shale

Oil shale is more than an energy source. It is also a source for various valuable materials. These materials include pyridine, carbonate minerals, alumina, ammonium sulfate, phosphate, sulfur, uranium, vanadium, and zinc, to name a few, from which numerous value-added products can be manufactured. For example, catalysts are made from vanadium and zinc, while alumina is a widely used material fo...

Policy options for value added to different levels of production

This paper presents an analytic procedure for the value added to different production levels with different policy options. The approach is stochastic and thus provides a framework for informed decision-making on productivity growth under uncertainty conditions. The model was applied to data collected from a firm and re-sults recommend that the firm should redevelop if in diversification and sy...
