High-Rate Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge by Integration of Electro-Fenton Process
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Anaerobic digestion (AD), being the most effective treatment method of waste activated sludge (WAS), allows for safe disposal. The present study deals with the electro-Fenton (EF) pretreatment for enhancing the WAS biogas ...
Comparison between Thermo-Alkaline and Electro-Fenton Disintegration Effect on Waste Activated Sludge Anaerobic Digestion
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
Disintegration of municipal waste activated sludge (WAS) using thermo-alkaline (TA) and electro-Fenton (EF) methods was investigated and compared in terms of the efficiency of sludge solubilisation and enhancement of ...
Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates by Two Halophilic Archaeal Isolates from Chott El Jerid Using Inexpensive Carbon Sources
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The large use of conventional plastics has resulted in serious environmental problems. Polyhydroxyalkanoates represent a potent replacement to synthetic plastics because of their biodegradable nature. This study aimed to ...
Comparative Study on Beneficial Effects of Hydroxytyrosol- and Oleuropein-Rich Olive Leaf Extracts on High-Fat Diet-Induced Lipid Metabolism Disturbance and Liver Injury in Rats
(
Hindawi
, 2020 , Article)
Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, as major compounds of olive leaves, have been reported to exert numerous pharmacological properties, including anticancer, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities. The purpose of this ...
Efficiency of benthic diatom-associated bacteria in the removal of benzo(a)pyrene and fluoranthene
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
We investigated the efficiency of a benthic diatom-associated bacteria in removing benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and fluoranthene (Flt). The diatom, isolated from a PAH-contaminated sediment of the Bizerte Lagoon (Tunisia), was ...

Background
Proteases are hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze peptide linkage cleavage reactions at the level of proteins and peptides with different degrees of specificity. This group draws the attention of industry. More ...
Combination of air stripping and biological processes for landfill leachate treatment
(
Korean Society of Environmental Engineers
, 2020 , Article)
Landfill waste decomposition generates a dark effluent named, leachate which is characterized by high organic matter content. To minimize these polluting effects, it becomes necessary to develop an effective landfill ...
