Fruit and vegetable wastes are produced in large quantities in Iran, and constitute a source of nuisance in municipal landfills. The objective of this study was to optimize the applications of anaerobic digestion for the treatment of municipal organic wastes. We studied the effect of organic loading rates on anaerobic digestion of vegetable wastes. The complete-mix, pilot-scale digester with wo...

chromium (cr) is one of the elements presents in crust of the earth. due to its toxicity, chromium is considered as water contaminant that may disturb metabolic activity. in the present study, adsorption of dissolved chromium (vi) onto elaeagnus angustifolia fruit charcoal, jujube fruit charcoal and the standard granular activated carbon (gac) has been investigated and compared. the effect of c...

regarding to economical importance of kiwi fruit, its wastes such as highly ripe or partially dried up fruits can be used to produce more economically valuable products like fruit leather. therefore, the aim of present study was the effective factor evaluation of kiwi fruit leather production. the samples were studied in two groups, raw and cooked fruits which were treated in a boiling water ba...

Freshwater production using solar-driven interfacial evaporation is regarded as a green and sustainable strategy. Herein, we present facile two-step carbonization approach that for developing innovative two-dimensional molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) materials derived from carbonized fruit wastes. The conversion of food wastes into valuable products, in this case MXene, can potentially inspire greene...

Large quantities of fruit wastes are generated during the consumption and processing fruits. The disposal in an environmentally benign way is a challenging task. biochar production from by pyrolysis receiving huge attention because it can alleviate pollution provide supply sustainably. In this study, five waste types—orange peel, banana mango endocarp, apricot kernel shell, date pits—are examin...
