As a clean and renewable source of energy, ethanol is a promising alternative to fossil fuels.1 Especially lignocelluloses, as raw material for ethanol production, have gained great interest during these years.2 Production of bio-ethanol will help to cope with the over-consumption of fossil fuels and further work for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Lignocelluloses (crop residue, cell...

This research work is focused on the processing of berries into fruit juices from the point of view of waste minimization and environmental best-practice technologies. Environmental bestpractice technologies aim to satisfy consumer demands, while the production process is optimised in order to have the least impact on the environment. The optimisation includes the reduced utilization of raw mat...

At the present day in Russia the change of ferrous metals production technology results in the change of the chemical composition of solid waste from iron and steel works. Traditional approaches to waste recycling methods stop meeting the requirements of geoecological safety. The paper offers a methodology of usage of the ferrous industry waste taking into consideration a life cycle of the mate...

Waste generation has increased considerably worldwide in the last few decades.
