Harvesting of Chlorella sorokiniana by co-culture with the filamentous fungus Isaria fumosorosea: A potential sustainable feedstock for hydrothermal gasification

Christof Holliger, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Eduardo Pereira Gomes, Stephen Mackay

Despite recent advances in down-stream processing, production of microalgae remains substantially limited because of economical reasons. Harvesting and dewatering are the most energy-intensive processing steps in their production and contribute 20–30% of t ...

Methane oxidation pathways in Lake La Cruz

Corinne Jegge

Even though lakes only occupy a small percentage of Earth's surface, they represent a natural source of methane, contributing substantially to methane emissions and ultimately to global warming. There is extensive evidence that methane emissions from lakes ...

Damage of Siloxanes on Ni-YSZ Anode Supported SOFC Operated on Hydrogen and Bio-Syngas

Jan Van Herle, Christian Ludwig, Stefan Diethelm, Hossein Madi

This work presents the poisoning effect of organic oxo-silicon compounds (siloxanes) which are generally found in sewage biogas. Lifetime and durability associated with solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology is strongly related to the amount of contaminan ...

Solid oxide fuel cell anode degradation by the effect of siloxanes

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Hossein Madi, Davide Papurello

Lifetime and durability issues connected with Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology are strongly related to the amount of contaminants that reach the stack. In this study the focus is on organic silicon compounds (siloxanes) and their highly detrimental ...

Lignin monomer production integrated into the γ-valerolactone sugar platform

Jeremy Luterbacher

We demonstrate an experimental approach for upgrading lignin that has been isolated from corn stover via biomass fractionation using c-valerolactone (GVL) as a solvent. This GVL-based approach can be used in parallel with lignin upgrading to produce solubl ...

Biological Components and Bioelectronic Interfaces of Water Splitting Photoelectrodes for Solar Hydrogen Production

Artur Braun, Yelin Hu, Florent Alexandre Boudoire

Artificial photosynthesis (AP) is inspired by photosynthesis in nature. In AP, solar hydrogen can be produced by water splitting in photoelectrochemical cells (PEC). The necessary photoelectrodes are inorganic semiconductors. Light-harvesting proteins and ...

Evaluation of pathogens inactivation during thermophilic anaerobic digestion of faecal sludge

Karin Valentine Gallandat López

There is an urgent need to develop comprehensive and sustainable sanitation systems in developing countries, including faecal sludge (FS) treatment technologies that help reduce environmental and human health risks. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is widely used ...

Co-digestion of dairy cow manure and food waste creates a more efficient biogas cycle

Xun Liao, Yiping Wang

The AgSTAR project of the U.S. EPA analyzed the possibility of installing anaerobic digesters with energy generation and nutrient capture in all confined dairy operations in the US with 500+ cows, with a total potential capacity of more than 2,000 digester ...

Functionalized imidazoliniums from the three-component domino reaction of N-formylmethylcarboxamides with amines and isocyanides

Jieping Zhu

In the presence of Zn(OTf)2, the three-component domino reaction of N formylmethyl-substituted tertiary amides and enamides with amines and isocyanides in acetonitrile at room temperature produced functionalized imidazoliniums in good to excellent yields. ...

Modelling bacterial selection during the plug-flow feeding phase of aerobic granular sludge biofilm reactors

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt

A mathematical model was developed to investigate hydraulic transport and bacterial selection during slow up-flow anaerobic feeding (0.9 m h-1) of wastewater across the settled bed of granular sludge biofilms used in column-type sequencing-batch reactors t ...
