Fossil fuels represent the primary energy sources, amounting to an 85% share of the total energy used in the world. The burning of fossil fuels caused the increase of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in atmosphere resulting in global warming. Development of smart and cost-effective technologies for carbon capture and biomass production are among the suggested… Continue reading Advanced Membrane PhotoBioReactor (mPBR) Versus Traditional BioReactors for the Control of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGs): A Comparative Analysis in Terms of Performance and Energy Consumption
The rising of greenhouse-gas emissions (GHG), during the last 200 years, is associated to the well known global warming phenomena. One of the main sources of CO2-equivalent GHGs emissions are the environmental protection plants accounting for 1.57% of the global emissions and thus sustainable and effective technologies for their mitigation are strongly needed. The current… Continue reading Innovative membrane photobioreactor for sustainable CO2 capture and utilization
The negative effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on humans’ health and the environment have boosted the enforcement of regulations, resulting in the need of effective and environmentally friendly off-gas treatment technologies. In this work, the synergism between microalgae and bacteria was investigated as a sustainable platform to enhance the biological degradation of toluene, herein… Continue reading Comparative evaluation of a biotrickling filter and a tubular photobioreactor for the continuous abatement of toluene
