Author(s): Kento Nishi Email (s): kento-nishi@soka.gr.jp Institution or organization of origin: Soka University Country: Japan Abstract Wastewater containing nitrogen is normally treated through nitrification using aeration, and denitrification. However, aeration is an most energy-intensive and costly process and may account for 45–75% of energy consumption in wastewater treatment plants. Many studies using microalgae-bacterial consortia as a new wastewater treatment … Read more
Author(s): Stella Chan Email (s): e20m5801@soka-u.jp Institution or organization of origin: Soka University Country: Japan Abstract Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a microbial process that produces renewable energy in the form of methane gas by treating various organic waste. Recently, it has been reported that addition of conductive materials (CMs) can help improve methanogenesis by promoting direct interspecies electron transfer … Read more
Author(s): Anas Hijazi Email (s): hijazianas@soka.gr.jp Institution or organization of origin: Soka University Country: Japan Abstract Water hyacinth (WH) (Eichhornia crassipes) is a widespread aquatic weed threatening waterbodies and dependent life-forms by clogging streams and causing fishing interference. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a low-cost and eco-friendly method that uses high-moisture waste like WH to generate biogas. However, a pre-treatment … Read more
