Effect of the solid content on biogas production from Jatropha curcas seed cake
Anaerobic conversion of Jatropha curcas seed cake was studied in a fivelitre working volume batch reactor at 30°C. Over a 60day operating period, a slurry of seed cake in water at a 1 : 20 seed caketowater ratio showed the highest methane yield of 296 litre methane/kg Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) degraded (or 156 litre/kg of Jatropha curcas seed cake added) and achieved 52% COD removal. The ...

Investigations into the possibility to compost paraffincoated packaging materials
Utilisation of biodegradable materials is indispensable for effective economic operation (Soyez, 1998). However, the requirements to be met by the application characteristics sometimes prevent use of such materials. For example, packaging materials for foodstuffs, where protection of the contents is the predominant aim, are required to display hydrophobic properties. Paraffin-coated papers have ...

Valorising Agri-Waste – Agriculture produces an unsustainable amount of waste, so how does the bioeconomy let us derive value from it?
For every kilogram of “usable” crop produced in agriculture, between 1 and 2.5 kilograms of residue is also produced. Of course, some of this residue must remain in the field or be used elsewhere on the farm in order to maintain a healthy ecosystem, but that which isn’t used thus is an unavoidable waste. Minimising waste is one of the central tenets of sustainability: the waste ...
