Lactic acid can be produced by fermentation of organic matters present in various wastes with the addition of various carbon and nitrogen sources using Lactobacillus species. Organic wastes form kitchen garbage and foodprocessing industries are especially rich in carbon and moisture content. The present study investigates the treatment of the organic wastes using microbiological process for eff...

I n common with most industrial processing industries, the fermentation industries are concerned with waste disposal situations that often become critical. Fermentation wastes usually occur in liquid or solid forms, although some gaseous wastes are also produced. It is worthy of note that, in addition to the problems involved, the disposal of these wastes is particularly interesting to fermenta...

The applicability of model-checking is often restricted by the size of the considered system. To overcome this limitation, a number of techniques have been investigated. Prominent among these are data independence, abstraction, and compositionality. This paper presents a methodology based on deductive reasoning and model-checking which combines these techniques. As we show, the combination of a...

Food wastes are produced by a variety of sources, ranging from agricultural operations to household consumption. About 38% occurs during food processing. At present, the European Union legislation encourages the exploitation of co-products. This valorisation can be achieved through the extraction of high-value components such as proteins, polysaccharides, fibres, flavour compounds, and phytoche...

Inconsistencies are present in the management options for healthcare wastes in Mongolia. One of the first critical steps in the process of developing a reliable waste management plan requires the performance of a waste characterization analysis. The objectives of this study were an assessment of the current situation of healthcare waste management (HCWM) and characterization of healthcare waste...

Large quantities of food processing, crop, forestry, and animal solid wastes are generated in the United States each year. The major components of these wastes are biodegradable. However, they also contain components such as nitrogen, human and animal pathogens, medicinals, feed additives, salts, and certain metals, that under uncontrolled conditions can be detrimental to aquatic, plant, animal...

Oil drill cuttings are challenging wastes in oil sites especially in Khuzestan province, a major oil producing region in Iran. As co- composting is a simple and eco- friendly technique for bioremediation of oil base drill cutting, this data article designed to describe co- composting of oil base drill cutting with cow manure. The data suggest that with optimized mixture of cow manure/oily drill...

In this paper an attempt has been made to develop an appropriate storage and collection plan based on optimal routing model using Geologic Information System in one of the wards of the Singanallur, Coimbatore city, India. The ward map is digitized and georeferenced. The collection bins are attributed and collection routes of the MSW are optimized for degradable and recyclable wastes separately....

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to design and implementation of integrated solid wastes management pattern in Shahroud industrial zone, evaluates the results and determine possible performance problems. This cross - sectional study was carried out for 4 years in Shahroud industrial zone and the implementation process included:1- Qualitative and quantitative analysis of all solid waste gener...
