In forestry practice, the prevention and fight against insect pests diseases is a priority to preserve health of these ecosystems. To combat it, insecticides chemical biological origin have been used. However, there are alternatives that not yet investigated, e.g., use agro-industrial waste. mezcal distillation process, polluting liquid residues called vinasses generated, can be considered for ...

Abstract This work aimed to study the feasibility of using vinasse for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production by Bacillus megaterium . To optimize culture medium, a Box–Behnken design was employed considering carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (Ph) concentrations as independent variables PHB productivity response variable. The decreased when C or N were increased, probably due presence phen...

Chemical composition of sugar cane vinasse (Tucumán, Argentina) was studied finding high concentration organic compounds. Phenolic compounds were partially characterized, mostly flavonoids, anthocyanins, as well resorcinol and ferulic acid derivatives. Adsorption isotherms phenolic total measured on four commercial activated carbons with different physical chemical properties at two temperature...

Recycling nutrients is essential for closing nutrient loops within a circular economy. Using locally available resources such as human excreta to produce bio-based recycling fertilizers can substitute mineral and thereby promote environmentally friendly food production. To better understand the fertilizer potential nitrogen value of excreta, three novel safe products were evaluated in field exp...
