Evaluation of anaerobic digestate as a substrate for vermicomposting
Vermicomposting is an established process to convert organic wastes into vermicastings suitable for plant growth. This research investigated the vermicomposting of anaerobic digestate with four different ratios of sawdust as a bulking material, for 75 days. The optimum proportion of anaerobic digestate to sawdust was identified as 70:30 based on worm growth and reproduction. Vermicomposting pro...
متن کاملoptimization of process variables for enhanced lactic acid production utilizing paneer whey as substrate in smf
in the present study lactic acid production was enhanced by optimizing the three process variables viz; inoculum size, temperature and ph using three factor five level ccrd (central composite rotatable design) by lactobacillus delbruckii under smf (submerged fermentation process). paneer (dairy by-product) whey was used as sole substrate for lactic acid production. design expert 8.0.2.0 softwar...
متن کاملHydrothermal synthesis of nano-size zirconia using commercial zirconia powder: process optimization through response surface methodology
A hydrothermal method for preparation of nano-size zirconia has been studied to optimize the effective parameters (precursor concentration, temperature and time) using response surface methodology (RSM). The synthesized zirconia samples were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses to identify mean nano...
متن کاملReducing Landfill Waste: Implementation and Optimization of a Vermicomposting System
John Hemmerling, a senior in chemical engineering and project leader, Jeremy Pan, a sophomore in computer science, and Sahil Bhalla and Karan Kedia, both freshman in fi rst-year engineering, are a team of four students participating in the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) Environmental Improvement Initiatives (EII). In this article they describe how they are investigating waste...
متن کاملApplication of GA in Optimization of Modified Benzene Alkylation Process
A genetic algorithm is used to optimize the modified benzene alkylation process. Based on the previous studies, the modified process increases ethylbenzene selectivity and decreases energy consumption at the same time. The inlet ethylene flow rate of each alkylation reactor is optimized in order to reduce the chance of transalkylation reactions but increase ethylbenzene selectivity. The byprodu...
