Conversion of Problematic Winery Waste into Valuable Substrate for Baker's Yeast Production and Solid Biofuel: A Circular Economy Approach.

Research Background: Wine production, which is considered a major sector in food industry, often involves the use of a large amount of resources. Moreover, wine making generates a large amount of grape pomace, which is generally used for low-value applications such as fertiliser and animal feed. The aim of the present research is to explore the possibility of improving the overall sustainability of traditional winemaking.

A Reverse Osmosis Process to Recover and Recycle Trivalent Chromium from Electroplating Wastewater.

Electroplating generates high volumes of rinse water that is contaminated with heavy metals. This study presents an approach for direct metal recovery and recycling from simulated rinse water, made up of an electroplating electrolyte used in industry, using reverse osmosis (RO). To simulate the real industrial application, the process was examined at various permeate fluxes, ranging from 3.
