This study examined the yield of chitin extracted from shrimp waste of different size ranges of Penaeus monodon and Penaeus indicus. Chitin was extracted through a process of demineralization using HCl and deproteinization using NaOH. The largest shrimp size range of 15-20cm yielded the highest amount of chitin at 30.5% for P. monodon and 27.86% for P. indicus. Analysis of the extracted chitin found moisture, ash, fat and nitrogen levels comparable to commercially available chitin. Chitin extracted from shrimp waste is therefore a suitable source for commercial purposes.

The document describes a process for purifying phosphoric acid involving three steps:
1) Cooling crude phosphoric acid to 100-130°F and mixing with a clay body feed agent to cause impurities to flocculate. Bentonite clay is preferred.
2) Adding powdered carbon from ground spent granular carbon to absorb remaining soluble impurities.
3) Adding a flocculating agent to cause the floccules to settle, separating the purified supernatant acid solution. The process efficiently removes impurities from phosphoric acid in a single operation.

Phosphorous removal
The document discusses biological phosphorus removal from wastewater. It describes how phosphorus enters wastewater from human and industrial sources. Phosphorus needs to be removed to prevent eutrophication in natural water bodies. The process relies on microorganisms called phosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) that uptake phosphorus under aerobic conditions. PAOs store phosphorus inside their cells under aerobic conditions. They release phosphorus from their cells and take up organic carbon sources under anaerobic conditions. Alternating anaerobic and aerobic zones in wastewater treatment systems selects for growth of PAOs, resulting in removal of phosphorus from wastewater.

What Happens When You Mix Chitosan and Poultry Litter?
http://www.extension.org/67731 The solubility of phosphorus (P) and low nitrogen(N):P ratio of poultry litter present environmental challenges when using this resource to supply nutrients to crops and forages. Here, we explore the use of chitosan to reduce water extractable P (WEP) in poultry litter and potentially increase the N:P ratio. Chitosan is derived from chitin, which is a waste product from the commercial shellfish industry; chitin is processed into chitosan through deacetylation, removing acetyl groups from this long-chained molecule. Chitin has been successfully used in manure separation and flocculation in wastewater treatment processes, as well as immobilizing algae in wastewater streams to uptake nutrients.

Itaconic acid (IA) is an organic acid. It is used in medicine, resins, agriculture, and polymer production. In the present study, sediment sample was collected aseptically from Vellar estuary, Parangipettai, Tamil Nadu, India. About 1.6 × 102 to 6.1 × 103 colony forming units/g density of fungal strains were isolated and screened for IA production. As a result of the tested strains Aspergillus terreus was observed as the most potential strain. Optimization was done at different temperatures (25–45°C), in different pH (5.0–7.0). The impact of salinity on IA production was evaluated using various salinity (5–25 ppt), carbon sources (1% w/v of glucose, sucrose, dextrose, and maltose), nitrogen sources (0.5% sodium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, and potassium nitrate), and cheaper sources (1% w/v molasses, jackfruit waste, wheat bran, and coconut oil cake). As a result optimized culture condition for IA production was 1% w/v of glucose - best carbon source, 1% w/v molasses - best cheaper carbon source, 0.5% of sodium nitrate - best nitrogen source, salinity - 20 ppt, temperature - 40°C, and pH - 5.5 and incubation time – 96 h. Compared to glucose (0.41 mg/ml) production of IA was high when molasses (0.61 mg/ml) was used as carbon source, it is also economically good. Mass scale culture was done using molasses instead of glucose with an optimized parameter. After mass scale culture, IA production was 6.3g/l.IPC presentation

Stancills Inc.
Storm water runoff from impervious surfaces like roads and buildings picks up pollutants and sediment as it flows directly into the bay without filtration. Green roofs help reduce storm water runoff by using a growing medium that holds and filters water, decreasing stress on sewer systems during peak flow hours. The growing medium is a combination of lightweight aggregate, compost, vermiculite, and perlite that is designed to hold and release water. Current green roof media have high carbon footprints and lighter weight requirements that affect maximum water retention. SkyLite growing media aims to address these issues by creating an artificial root system that stabilizes the soil and enhances capillary action to extend the installation season using locally sourced materials.
SpiralCat
Spiralcat Technology has developed the CPARETM system to address water and nutrient management problems on farms. The system recovers potable water from waste streams like wastewater and manure, while extracting excess nutrients like phosphorus and nitrates. These nutrients can then be concentrated and either reused on-site or sold. The system also produces energy in the form of biogas and biofuel oil. A pilot program with the USDA tested the technology on farms from 2010 to 2011 and showed it successfully removed odors and pathogens while reducing nutrients entering the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
NutriGrown, LLC.
The document discusses a matrix-based soil additive called The Matrix that was developed to reduce nutrient leaching from fertilizers. According to greenhouse trials, The Matrix reduced nitrogen and phosphorus leaching by over 80% compared to commercial fertilizers while maintaining similar or better plant growth. The Matrix binds nutrients so they are released slowly over time for plant uptake. A company called NutriGrown was formed to commercialize The Matrix and received a TEDCO grant to develop it into commercial lawn and garden products and manure nutrient control matrices through additional formulation optimization and field trials.
National Asphalt Pavement Association
Porous asphalt pavements with stone reservoirs can effectively manage stormwater runoff by reducing runoff volumes, filtering pollutants, and promoting groundwater recharge compared to traditional impervious surfaces. These porous pavements have been used successfully in over 200 projects nationwide for over 20 years, especially for parking lots where site conditions allow. Proper design, construction, and maintenance are important for porous asphalt to provide long-term stormwater management benefits.
