Abstract:

This study focused on the technical measures of revegetation on ferrum tailings bank in Huludao, China. Adopting field test method, a revegetation trial was conducted on the Yangjiazhangzi waste ferrum tailings bank. By composting the urban sludge + river mud + straw inside planting pit to ameliorate tailings matrix, planting perennial herb to establish closed type sand barrier to shelter bush-herbage growth, transplanting nutrition cup bush seedlings and sowing herbage seed on the composting pit to establish bush-herbage clump, these technical measures can solve the major constraints to plant

Abstract:

The rates of urban growth and urbanization indicate a projected increase in waste generation. In developing countries, the organic fraction constitutes approximately half of the total waste, leading to the production of leachate, toxic gases, and the emergence of vectors. Composting emerges as a straightforward and cost-effective solution for organic waste recovery. This study focused on evaluating the quality of compost derived from organic waste (CRO) and pet feces (CM). The research aimed to investigate the impact of these composts on the germination and growth of selected vegetables. The p

Abstract:

Two thermophilic bacteria, designated strains P8T and P12, were isolated from compost in Korea. The isolates grew aerobically from 50 to 75 °C (optimum at 55 °C) and at pH 4.0–9.0 (optimum pH 6.5). Aerial mycelia were not observed. Single spores were produced along the substrate hypha. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. Major fatty acids were iso-C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and the polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, an aminophospholipid and sphingoglycolipid. The DNA G+C contents were 55.9–56.5 mol%.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the recovery of plastic fractions from waste discarded by an industrial composting plant that processes the organic fraction of municipal solid waste. Polymeric fractions (PE, PP and PET) were sorted from this discarded waste using a NIR separator. The polymeric fractions were then washed to remove residual contaminants and characterized with the aim of assessing their composition. A process of pelletizing and injection molding suitable for producing specimens made of 100% of these recovered materials was set up. The tensile strength and stiffness, as well as the microstr

I composti polifenolici presenti nell'uva e nel vino sono stati ampiamente caratterizzati ed è noto che possiedono un alto potenziale antiossidante. Pochi studi sono stati, invece, eseguiti sul potere antiossidante dei vini pugliesi. In questo studio abbiamo esaminato il poter antiossidante di ventisette vini pugliesi, prodotti nel rispetto dei locali disciplinari per la denominazione di origine, DOP e IGP, rappresentativi di uno dei territori più importanti dell'enologia nazionale italiana. I vini ottenuti dalle uve del territorio pugliese, in particolare quelli rossi, sono ottime fonti di so

Abstract:

The tomato industry is a relevant socio-economic activity in the European Union, while it generates a large variety of residues. Tomatoes unfit for consumption, tomato peels, seeds, industrial pomace, and plants are examples of residues of this industry. Commonly, some of the residues can be left in the field, composted, used for animal feeding, or valorized through anaerobic digestion. However, more economic value can be attributed to these residues if a biorefinery approach is applied. Indeed, many value-added compounds can be obtained by the integration of different processes while closing

Abstract:

SUMMARYThe Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reforms agreed by European Union (EU) ministers include a discard ban where fishers will be required to land all fish they catch. The ban is expected to reduce the risk of capturing unwanted and low-value biomass species, and therefore should make fishing more environmentally and economically sustainable. The implications of introducing a discards ban may be gauged by assessing the practical and economic issues surrounding whether discards not destined for human consumption can be used once landed.

Чтобы уменьшить экологическую нагрузку, пластиковые изделия должны быть пригодны как для вторичной переработки, так и для биоразложения. Большинство современных материалов, такие как полипропилен (PP), полиэтилен (PE), полиэтилентерефталат (PET), составляют более 80% всех полимерных отходов. Кроме того, благ

Biodegradable solid waste disposal and management has been a major problem in Nigeria and indiscriminate dumping of this waste either into watercourses or drains has led to environmental hazards affecting public health. The study investigated the nutrients level of pit composting and vermicomposting. Wooden bins 60 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm<sup>3</sup> in size were constructed and bedding materials (sawdust, egg shell, paper and grasses) and red worms (<em>Eisenia fetida</em>) introduced to facilitate the free movement and protection of the worms against harsh weather.
