Enhancement of methane production from anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and dewatered sludge by thermal, ultrasonic and alkaline technologies integrated with protease pretreatment.

Pretreatments to improve the efficiency of anaerobic digestion (AD) have gained more attention. The efficiency and mechanism of neutral protease (NP) integrated with other methods remain unclear. This study investigated the efficacy of thermal, alkaline and ultrasonic technologies integrated with NP as the pre-treatments for AD of food waste and dewatered sludge.

A change in substance and microbial community structure during the co-composting of kitchen waste anaerobic digestion effluent, sewage sludge and Chinese medicine residue.

Anaerobic digestion is a resource recovery method for organic waste, gaining attention due to carbon reduction. Disposing of anaerobic digestion effluent (ADE) is crucial for developing anaerobic digestion, but conventional wastewater treatment fails to effectively recover nutrients contained in the ADE. In the present study, the ADE without solid-liquid separation was mixed with sewage sludge and Chinese medicine residue for the composting, where the ADE could be recovered at high temperature through humification.

A combined passivator of zeolite and calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer: Passivation behavior and mechanism for Cd (II) in composting.

Passivation of heavy metals is one of the most efficient techniques to improve the quality of compost. Many studies confirmed the passivation effect of passivators (e.g.

Pilot-scale two-phase anaerobic digestion of deoiled food waste and waste activated sludge: Effects of mixing ratios and functional analysis.

Anaerobic co-digestion of deoiled food waste (dFW) and waste activated sludge (WAS) can address the challenges derived from mono-digestion of FW. In the present study, a pilot-scale methanogenic bioreactor of a two-phase anaerobic digestion system was developed to explore the impact of dFW/WAS volatile solids ratios on the overall performance, microbial community, and metabolic pathways. Besides, the tech-economic of the system was analyzed.

[CT angiography features of the involved arterial branches of the spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection].

Objective: To explore the CT angiography features of the involved arterial branches of the spontaneous isolated superior mesentery artery dissection(SISMAD).

Methods: Clinical and CT angiogram data of 6 patients with SISMAD confirmed by dual source energy CT angiography were analyzed retrospectively. The CT angiography features and prognosis of patients were investigated.

[Experiment and numerical simulation of percolation control using evapotranspirative landfill cover system].

An Evapotranspirative Landfill Cover (ET Landfill Cover) is a simple and economical percolation control system that involves a monolithic soil layer with a vegetative cover.Percolation control in an ET cover system relies on the storage of moisture within the cover soils during precipitation events and subsequently returns it to the atmosphere by evapotranspiration. Percolation control experiments of a bare soil cover and 5 different ET covers were implemented in comprehensive experimental station of water environment of Wuhan University and the water balance calculation of each cover system was conducted, the results shown that the ET cover of 60 cm loamy soil layer with shrub was the most effective among the 6 experimental disposals.
