A multi-criteria decision support tool for the assessment of household biogas digester programmes in rural areas. A case study in Peru
(2018)
Article
Open AccessHousehold biogas digesters are a sustainable technology that can help rural families of low income countries meeting their basic energy needs and improving their standard of living. However, household biogas digester ... -
A robust multicriteria analysis for the post-treatment of digestate from low-tech digesters. Boosting the circular bioeconomy of small-scale farms in Colombia
(2022-09)
Article
Open AccessLow-tech digesters are sustainable technologies to produce a clean fuel (biogas), which can be used for cooking and heating. Moreover, the degradation of organic waste in the digester also produces a liquid effluent ... -
Adaptación de biodigestores tubulares de plástico a climas fríos
(2009)
Article
Open AccessFarmers in the Andean Plateau strongly demand for household biodigesters due to the lack of clean fuels and agricultural fertilizers, and the abundance of livestock residues. The diffusion of rural biodigesters in cold ... -
Agricultural reuse of the digestate from low-cost tubular digesters in rural andean communities
(2011-12)
Article
Open AccessThis research aimed at assessing the properties of guinea pig manure digestate from low-cost tubular digesters for crops fertilization in rural Andean communities. To this end, field trials were carried out to evaluate the ... -

Anaerobic digestion of microalgal biomass after ultrasound pretreatment
(2014-11-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyHigh rate algal ponds are an economic and sustainable alternative for wastewater treatment, where microalgae and bacteria grow in symbiosis removing organic matter and nutrients. Microalgal biomass produced in these systems ... -
Assessing the agricultural reuse of the digestate from microalgae anaerobic digestion and co-digestion with sewage sludge
(2017-05)
Article
Open AccessMicroalgae anaerobic digestion produces biogas along with a digestate that may be reused in agriculture. However, the properties of this digestate for agricultural reuse have yet to be determined. The aim of this study was ... -
Assessment of hydrothermal pretreatment of various lignocellulosic biomass with CO2 catalyst for enhanced methane and hydrogen production
(2017-09)
Article
Open AccessHydrothermal pretreatment of five lignocellulosic substrates (i.e. wheat straw, rice straw, biomass sorghum, corn stover and Douglas fir bark) were conducted in the presence of CO2 as a catalyst. To maximize disintegration ... -
Assessment of selenium and zinc enriched sludge and duckweed as slow-release micronutrient biofertilizers for Phaseolus vulgaris growth
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Article
Open AccessSelenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) are essential micronutrients that are often lacking in the diet of humans and animals. Application of mineral Se and Zn fertilizers into soils may lead to a waste of Se and Zn due to the fast ... -

Behavior of UV filters, uv blockers and pharmaceuticals in high rate algal ponds treating urban wastewater
(2020-10)
Article
Open AccessThe present study evaluated the efficiency of a high rate algal pond (HRAP) at pilot scale to remove pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) from urban wastewater, including UV-filters and parabens (10), ... -
Benefits and risks of agricultural reuse of digestates from plastic tubular digesters in Colombia
(2021-11)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this study is to characterize the digestates from three plastic tubular digesters implemented in Colombia fed with: i) cattle manure; ii) cattle manure mixed with cheese whey; iii) pig manure. All the digesters ... -
