RECYCLES, a European project to enhace the viability of waste treatment facilities
Researchers from the Department of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering are coordinating the European RECYCLES project, which will work towards the enhancement of the technical, economic and environmental...
Artificial Intelligence for fermentative bioprocess control
Researchers from the Department of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering of the UAB are collaborating in the international project "Continued Process Validation (CPV) of the Future" in order to apply artificial intelligence for...
Composting of sewage sludge from urban wastewater treatment plants and the associated gaseous emissions: Characterization of odours and greenhouse gases
The present work, done in collaboration with researchers from the Centre Tecnològic BETA of the...
Rice husk as a source for fungal biopesticide production by solid-state fermentation using B. bassiana and T. harzianum
The set of environmental and health problems associated to chemical pesticides lead to the development of alternatives to treat crops. One of the options are...
New microsensor for characterizing biofilms
Understanding and analyzing the chemical and biological composition of "beneficial" biofilms found inside the bioreactors offers the opportunity to design them properly and, consequently, to create sewage treatment systems and gaseous streams. In this sense, the GAB group...
Experimental bioreactor to produce biopesticides using urban organic waste
The reactor was put into motion this week and will be producing biopesticides under the framework of the European Decisive. The experimental facilities will use organic waste to produce biopesticides for farm use.
Recovery of elemental sulfur from industrial wastewater: a new application of bioelectrochemical systems
Industrial activities generate wastewater and gases with high sulfate content. Sulfate is not harmful but if it is disposed into sewers or rivers, some bacteria transform them into hydrogen...
Rose-like aromas from agro-industrial residues obtained
For the first time, researchers of the Composting Research Group (GICOM) have achieved flower aromas of roses, hyacinths or jasmine from agroindustrials residues using solid-state fermentation technology (SSF) and microorganisms that have the ability to transform...
Fruit-like odor from organic waste
The Composting Research Group (GICOM) from the Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering Departament at UAB has developed an aroma producing process by yeast solid state fermentation (SSF) of organic waste from the sugar industry. This process is cleaner and more economic than the...
