Transforming food waste: how immobilized enzymes can valorize waste streams into revenue streams

Membrane Condenser for Particulate Abatement from Waste-Gaseous Streams

Membrane Condenser (MC) is a novel membrane contactor operation recently investigated for the valorization of industrial waste gaseous streams. In particular, until now, it was applied for water recovery from flue gas, cooling tower plumes, etc. More recently, its effectiveness and flexibility in contaminants (such as, NH3 , HF, SO2 ) removal and control from waste gaseous streams was also prov...

Bacteriophage Disinfection of Engineered Waste Streams BACTERIOPHAGE DISINFECTION OF ENGINEERED WASTE STREAMS

The threat of bacterial contaminants in water distribution systems and in the environment is of unremitting concern for environmental engineers. This problem is compounded by the overuse of antibiotics and the resulting increased prevalence of antibiotic resistant pathogens in engineered waste streams and hospital wastewater effluents. Through defects in sewer systems these pathogens are furthe...

Recovery of precious metals from waste streams

As there is a high potential for microbe-based technologies to bring the recovery of metals from waste streams to an ecologically friendly and financially reasonable level, it is worth to invest efforts into the advancement of these biotechnologies in the future.

Hydrothermal carbonization of municipal waste streams.

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a novel thermal conversion process that can be used to convert municipal waste streams into sterilized, value-added hydrochar. HTC has been mostly applied and studied on a limited number of feedstocks, ranging from pure substances to slightly more complex biomass such as wood, with an emphasis on nanostructure generation. There has been little work exploring ...
