Biogas production through anaerobic co-digestion of a mixture of cattle manure and citrus waste using an experimental facility for testing the biochemical methane potential (BMP) was investigated. No buffer solution is added to the mixture in order to use the buffer capacity from cattle manure...

The present study has successfully explored the use of pomegranate seed de-oiled cake as a major additive and micronutrients solution as a minor additive to enhance production of biogas and enrich its methane content, using mango peel as the initial substrate. While micronutrients solution has...

Fly ash (FA) and fluidized bed ash (FBA) solutions were evaluated as amendments for acid-disturbed lands, more specifically for treating acidic and metal contaminated soil. While titrating the ash materials with different volumes of acid, pH changes were monitored as a function of time and the acid...

The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for Landfill Sitting is studied. The necessary spatial information required to determine the candidate sites for any type of terrestrial area (Community/Prefecture/Region/Country) is examined. This spatial information is then used for site selection...

The podzolic soils of the Kola Peninsula, Russia, have in localised areas been highly contaminated with copper and nickel from smelting activities. Migration and retention of these metals were investigated in undisturbed soil columns irrigated with simulated background and polluted precipitation in...
