Production of bio-based materials in biorefineries is coupled with the generation organic-rich process-wastewater that requires further management. Anaerobic technologies can be employed as a tool for rectification such hazardous by-products. Therefore, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and its components were investigated their biodegradability continuous anaerobic process. The test included 5-hydroxyme...

Heat-injured cells of Listeria monocytogenes were recovered from heated raw milk containing noninjured Enterococcus faecium by combining a simple method for obtaining strict anaerobiosis with a novel enrichment broth, Penn State University broth (PSU broth). Strictly anaerobic conditions were rapidly achieved by adding 0.5 g of filter-sterilized cysteine per liter to PSU broth and then purging ...

slow sand filters are as a proper technology for pre-treatment of raw water, with a fine and medium trubidity in small communities in developing countries. thus, with a minimum operation cost and minimum need for expest bodies have the maximum efficiency. the purpose of this research is carried out to evaluate the efficiency of two processes of horizontal flow roughing filter and vertical flow ...

anaerobic bacteria are well known causes of sepsis in adults but there are few studies regarding their role in neonatal sepsis. in an attempt to define the incidence of neonatal anaerobic infections a prospective study was performed during one year period. a total number of 400 neonates under sepsis study were entered this investigation. anaerobic as well as aerobic cultures were sent. the pati...

Municipal sludge contains significant amounts of energy, which can be exploited by the use of anaerobic digestion, combustion or gasification. However, the relatively high moisture content of dewatered biosolids (usually over 80%) and long field experience makes anaerobic digestion the most favourable process for energy production from biosolids. Micro-sieves are novel apparatuses for the remov...
