Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphate and ammonium sorption capacity of biochar and hydrochar from different wastes.

TL;DR: Hydrochars produced from hydrothermal carbonisation at 250 °C have been compared to low and high temperature pyrolysis chars produced at 400-450 °C and 600-650 °C respectively, which suggests that surface area is not the most important factor influencing char ammonium adsorption capacity, while char calcium and magnesium contents may influence phosphate adsorptive capacity.
Journal Article

The transmission of tuberculosis in confined spaces: an analytical review of alternative epidemiological models.

TL;DR: Gammiatoni and Nucci's generalised formulation is shown to be the most suitable for modelling airborne transmission in ventilated spaces and it is subsequently used in a parametric study to evaluate the effect of physical and environmental factors on the rate of disease transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of potential risks associated with chemicals in wastewater used for irrigation in arid and semiarid zones: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, a broad overview of the potential risks associated with the chemicals in wastewater used for irrigation including their environmental, and health impacts, factors that may affect the fate of these chemicals, and available mitigation methods and management options to reduce their impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of pH on hydrothermal treatment of swine manure: Impact on extraction of nitrogen and phosphorus in process water.

TL;DR: The results indicate that operating hydrothermal treatment in the presence of acidic additives has benefits in terms of improving the extraction of phosphorus and nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Die-off of enteric bacterial pathogens during mesophilic anaerobic digestion.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of MAD in removing the bacterial enteric pathogens, Salmonella senftenberg, Listeria monocytogenes and Campylobacter jejuni which were added as a spike to the digester feedstock, together with the die-off of indigenous Escherichia coli already present in the sludge.
