The new version of TEE model (Transport Energy Environment) has been developed in the frame of the FP5 ISHTAR and HEARTS Projects with several features for better analyzing transport related direct impacts, taking into ...
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of self fermentation on methane production as biological pretreatment of olive mill wastewater (OMW). The self-fermentation was carried out at room temperature without mixing and at ...
Different process configurations for the energetic valorization of Ricotta Cheese Whey (RCW), a dairy byproduct, were investigated by mesophilic Anaerobic Digestion (AD) under continuous operation mode using a Mono-phase ...
Being a developing nation and having an agriculture based economy, India has a promising biomass resource. There is a huge scope for establishing bio based economy in India due to the availability of wide varieties and ...
Bioethanol produced from lignocellulosic biomass is a promising alternative for fossil fuel substitution. Hydrolytic lignin rich residues could be exploited through gasification for more efficient bioethanol production ...
This study aimed to compare gasification of torrefied wood with conventional gasification of wood to evaluate the effectiveness of this pretreatment for improving the performances of fixed bed gasification. The main issues ...
In the biodiesel production, via transesterification, physical methods have been tested to improve efficiency. In this research activity, the microwave have been tested to reduce the reaction time in a continuous process. ...
