Community-level genetic profiles of actinomycetales in long-term biowaste-amended soils
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Actinomycetales is an order of actinobacteria that have an important role in the decomposition of organic matter. Their abundance and distribution can reflect a good level of soil fertility as well as biological activity. ...
Methane production enhancement from Tetraselmis biomass co-digestion using frying oil residue as co-substrate and ultrasonication as pretreatment
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Tetraselmis sp. microalgae biomass co-digestion with frying oil residue was investigated without or with an ultrasonication pretreatment to enhance methane production. Interestingly, compared to untreated Tetraselmis ...
Investigation on the effect of several parameters involved in the biodegradation of polyethylene (PE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) under various seawater environments
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
This work investigates the biodegradation of polyethylene (PE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and the leaching of their harmful additives. Micro/macro-plastics of both types were subjected to different laboratory-controlled ...
Valorization of salt post-modified poultry manure biochars for phosphorus recovery from aqueous solutions: investigations on adsorption properties and involved mechanism
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
In this research work, raw poultry manure biochar (RPM-B) was post-modified by two metal salts and then evaluated for P recovery from aqueous solutions in batch mode. The modified biochar characterization showed that RPM-B ...
Expanding ocean protection and peace: a window for science diplomacy in the Gulf.
(
Royal Society
, 2023 , Article)
The ecological state of the Persian or Arabian Gulf (hereafter 'Gulf') is in sharp decline. Calls for comprehensive ecosystem-based management approaches and transboundary conservation have gone largely unanswered, despite ...
Mitigating soil water deficit using organic waste compost and commercial water retainer: a comparative study under semiarid conditions
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Article)
Semiarid regions have particularly been confronted with climate change effects reflected by the consistent decrease of rainfall and increase of evapotranspiration. This drought stress constitutes the main constraint for ...
Use of waste marble powder for the synthesis of novel calcium-rich biochar: Characterization and application for phosphorus recovery in continuous stirring tank reactors
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates—for the first time—the synthesis of a novel Ca-rich biochar (N–Ca–B) and its potential use for phosphorus (P) recovery from both synthetic solutions (SS) and treated urban wastewater (TUW) in a ...
