key dissimilarities between thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (was) were experimentally studied in this research. typical was with total solids (ts) concentrations of 30 and 60 g/l were digested anaerobically in a batch digester at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. solids reduction, total cod changes, the production of different volatile fatty ...

in the temperature range of 10 to 80 ºc and in a batch digester, a typical activated sludge was digested aerobically. reaction rate constants were determined by measuring the amounts of volatiles removed from the suspended solids at different time intervals during the process. the maximum value of the reaction rate constant (0.45 d-1) occurred in the temperature range of 55-60˚c. removal of ind...

Background and Aims: Despite the screening of blood donors, blood transfusion represents an ideal port of entry for blood-borne infection. Blood-borne pathogen transmission has been a concern since the earliest days of transfusion. The blood product of platelet (PLT) concentrates is still faced with the risk of bacterial and viral contaminations. Pathogen inactivation technologies offer a proac...
