Summary: This study describes the diversification of products obtainable from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) by producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) from the liquid fraction and biomethane from the residual solid fraction. The results showed that nearly 40% of OFMSW energy was recovered as products, indicating a relatively high efficiency in producing PHA and biomethane.

Summary: Increasing the substrate inoculum ratio and incubation time decreases environmental impacts and increases economic profitability in anaerobic digestion configurations. The most economically profitable plant size is 30,000 tons/year of OFMSW, while the optimal size for maximal revenues and minimal costs is 50,000 tons/year. The highest environmental sustainability and economic profitability were achieved with incubated inocula WAS and CAS at the highest S:I ratio of 2:1.

Summary: This study found that the biochemical methane potential of water hyacinth and municipal solid waste in Mexico City could be effectively managed through anaerobic digestion and anaerobic codigestion processes. The substrate-to-inoculum ratio played a significant role in volatile solids degradation. Anaerobic digestion of municipal solid waste with a S:I ratio of 1:1 produced more methane than anaerobic codigestion, but the difference was not statistically significant. Overall, the research highlighted the potential of using anaerobic digestion for renewable energy production and addressing the issues associated with water hyacinth, municipal solid waste, and leachate.

Summary: This study proposes a carbon-negative process for producing high purity hydrogen from organic waste, and evaluates its feasibility in Sweden. The process combines anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, catalytic reforming, water-gas shift, and pressure swing adsorption technologies. Under optimal operating conditions, the process can produce 72.2 kg H2 and 701.47 kg negative CO2 equivalent emissions from 1 ton of dry organic waste. The techno-economic assessment shows that implementing the process in Stockholm can achieve an internal rate of return of 26% and a discounted payback period of 4.3 years when negative CO2 equivalent emissions are recognized as income.

Summary: This study investigated the pyrolysis performance of solid residues from anaerobic digestion of organic fraction of municipal solid waste, as well as the impact of anaerobic digestion on the pyrolysis process. The results showed that anaerobic digestion enhances interactions among feedstock components during pyrolysis, but inhibits the yields of heavy organics and gas.

Summary: The study found that hydrothermal treatment of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste can improve fuel properties, but may also lead to increased ash content in biochar and accumulated heavy metals. Therefore, it is recommended to first convert raw municipal solid waste into CH4 before hydrothermal treatment to increase overall utilization efficiency.

Summary: The study shows that the production of metabolites during silage increases with decreasing solids concentration regardless of the temperature, and methane production from ensiled OFMSW at 10% solids concentration is better than from fresh OFMSW under all tested conditions. Ensiled OFMSW produces more methane than fresh OFMSW, and methane production is highest at 35 degrees C.

Summary: The duration of the famine phase plays a key role in the formation of stable granular sludge in SBR systems treating high-strength greywater. Gradually reducing the famine phase length promotes the stable AGS formation, while abruptly shortening it induces filamentous outgrowth and deteriorates sludge properties, leading to degranulation events with increased organic loading rates.

Summary: Methanogenic-aerobic coupled processes were used to provide evidence of oxygen role for complete elimination of vinyl acetate (VA). The study showed that VA can be efficiently removed through simultaneous methanation and aerobic respiration. Brevibacillus agri and Methanosarcina barkeri were identified as key species responsible for VA elimination. Oxygen and VA concentration had selective effects on the metabolism and population dynamics.

Summary: An integrated membrane process was designed and evaluated for the treatment of effluents from food additive manufacturing. The process focused on water recovery for reuse as potable water. The effluent had high levels of dyes and salts, and the process steps included sedimentation, activated carbon adsorption, ion exchange using resins, and reverse osmosis. The efficiency of the previous operations was evaluated, and the integrated membrane process provided reclaimed water with sufficient quality for potable water reuse. The activated carbon showed high efficiency in color elimination, while the ion exchange resin exhibited capacity for salt removal. The fouling of the reverse osmosis membrane was alleviated, resulting in high water flux and reversible fouling dominance. The characteristics of the reclaimed water met drinking water standards.
