  1. 1. Characterization of Compost from Reusable Industrial Streams: : physical, Nutrient, and Microbial Properties

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Ellen Ek Moreau; [2023]
    Keywords : Spent mushroom compost; apple orchard waste; soil amendment; compost optimization; circular agriculture;

    Abstract : The increasing global population, combined with soil degradation, poses challenges to food security, and raises concerns about the excessive and long-term use of conventional fertilizers. Evaluating sustainable alternative by-products for their soil-improving properties could offer a potential solution, particularly for Swedish fruit producers who can tap into local waste streams as a circular source of plant nutrients.

  6. 5. Simulation of carbon- monoxide rich syngas through gasification and co-gasification of biomass.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Musasa Kayiba Tracy; [2022]
    Keywords : Gasification; biomass;

    Abstract : Syngas is an interesting energy source for metallurgical processes, as an energy carrier syngas is an efficient way of utilizing the energy in biomass. Utilizing syngas in fuming processes as a carbon source instead of coal was an approach to minimize carbon dioxide emissions produced in the fuming process. READ MORE
