A mixture of cellulose production waste with municipal sewage as new material for an ecological management of wastes.
Jacek Antonkiewicz,Agnieszka Baran,Robert Pełka,Anna Wisła-Świder,Ewelina Nowak,Piotr Konieczka +5 more
TL;DR: It was established that the cellulose production waste was toxic, whereas the combination of celluloseProduction waste and sewage sludge was found to be of low toxicity to test organisms, and research results indicate that waste mixtures qualify for environmental use.

Effects of roxarsone and sulfadiazine on biogas production and their degradation during anaerobic digestion
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of roxarsone and sulfadiazine on the anaerobic digestion of synthetic wastewater and their degradation were investigated, and it was shown that the presence of 200 µmg µL−1 sulfaddiazine exhibited little influence on hydrolysis and acidification, but resulted in a temporary inhibition on methanogenesis.

Vermicomposting of Waste: A Zero-Waste Approach for Waste Management
Kavita Sharma,Vinod Kumar Garg +1 more
TL;DR: The vermicomposting is a bio-oxidative natural decomposition process that occurs under mesophilic conditions further aided by the biochemical action of microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of long-term biosolid applications on communities of soil fauna and their metal accumulation: A field study
TL;DR: The results indicate that it is potentially risky to use industrial biosolids in the long term, and different species and ecological groups of collembolans and different trophic groups of nematodes should be examined when assessing soil health.

Arsenic removal from water/wastewater using adsorbents—A critical review
Dinesh Mohan,Charles U. Pittman +1 more
TL;DR: Strong acids and bases seem to be the best desorbing agents to produce arsenic concentrates, and some commercial adsorbents which include resins, gels, silica, treated silica tested for arsenic removal come out to be superior.

Utilization of sewage sludge in EU application of old and new methods—A review
D. Fytili,Anastasia Zabaniotou +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review past and future trends in sludge handling, focusing mainly at thermal processes (e.g. pyrolysis, wet oxidation, gasification) and the utilization of sewage sludge in cement manufacture as a co-fuel.

Arsenic uptake and metabolism in arsenic resistant and nonresistant plant species
TL;DR: This review synthesizes current knowledge on arsenic uptake, metabolism and toxicity for arsenic resistant and nonresistant plants, including the recently discovered phenomenon of arsenic hyperaccumulation in certain fern species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic uptake and metabolism in plants.
TL;DR: Hyperaccumulation appears to involve enhanced arsenate uptake, decreased arsenite-thiol complexation and arsenite efflux to the external medium, greatly enhanced xylem translocation of arsenite, and vacuolar sequestration of arsenites in fronds.
