Carbon disulfide biofiltration: Influence of the accumulation of biodegradation products on biomass development

BACKGROUND: This research has assessed the impact of sulfate accumulation on the performance of two biofilters treating CS2. Both biofilters were packed with a pelletized organic fertilizer and...

Photodegradation of four fluoroquinolone compounds by titanium dioxide under simulated solar light irradiation

BACKGROUND; In this study, simultaneous photocatalytic degradation of four fluoroquinolone (FQ) compounds (i.e. ofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin) was investigated in TiO2...

Electrolysis of progesterone with conductive‐diamond electrodes

BACKGROUND: Progesterone is considered an endocrine disruptor chemical. It can be found in industrial discharges, municipal wastewaters, and, in some instances, even in treated effluents at the level...

Design of chitosan/PSf self‐assembly membrane to mitigate fouling and enhance performance in trypsin separation

BACKGROUND: Membrane fouling in downstream processing has become a major obstacle in enzyme production. The use of a membrane with high surface hydrophilicity may be an acceptable way to overcome...

Alkaline sulfite/anthraquinone pretreatment followed by disk refining of Pinus radiata and Pinus caribaea wood chips for biochemical ethanol production

BACKGROUND: Alkaline sulfite/anthraquinone (ASA) cooking of Pinus radiata and Pinus caribaea wood chips followed by disk refining was used as a pretreatment for the production of low lignified and...
