The document discusses optimizing water use efficiency in C4 crops. It provides background on C4 photosynthesis being more efficient than C3 with better water use efficiency. The researcher aims to determine if there are differences in water use efficiency across C4 plant species and if those differences can be used to reduce strain on water resources from agriculture. Methods used include LI-COR photosynthesis measurements and comparative genomics and phenomics on species like sorghum, maize, and dichanthelium. Future steps involve relating water use efficiency data from imaging and LI-COR measurements.

Development of integrated bioremediation and anaerobic digestion process using

IAEME Publication

This document discusses a study on the development of an integrated bioremediation and anaerobic digestion process using microalgae. Specifically, it examines using the microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa to treat biogas digester wastewater. The study finds that C. pyrenoidosa is able to grow well in biogas wastewater, removing up to 92.8% of nitrate nitrogen. The treated wastewater can then be used to support anaerobic digestion of the algal biomass to produce biogas. Co-digesting the microalgae with cow dung achieved higher biogas yields than digesting cow dung alone. Overall, the integrated process effectively treats biogas

Anaerobic Digestion & Biogas Association

Professor Sandra Esteves of the Wales Centre of Excellence for Anaerobic Digestion discusses producing chemicals and biopolymers from wastes and biomass through anaerobic digestion and fermentation processes. Specifically, she outlines research on producing organic acids like acetic acid and urea from methane, volatile fatty acids from food and sewage wastes, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as bioplastics from fermentation of volatile fatty acids using Cupriavidus necator bacteria. Real-time monitoring and factors like volatile fatty acid feeding rates, nutrient sources, and sodium chloride levels are investigated to optimize PHA production.

This document discusses a study on the effect of magnetic treatment of water on evapotranspiration of tomato plants. Three magnetic flux densities were used to treat water for tomato irrigation, along with a control of non-treated water. The amount of water lost daily from buckets containing tomato plants due to evapotranspiration was measured. Plants irrigated with magnetically treated water had higher daily evapotranspiration rates compared to the control, indicating treated water allowed easier water absorption and faster plant growth despite equal water quantities.

Grazing Management Effect on Micro- and Macro-Scale Fate of Carbon and Nitrog...

This document provides an overview of a research project studying the effects of different grazing management strategies on carbon and nitrogen cycling in rangelands. The project compares a low stocking density grazing strategy to an ultra-high stocking density strategy. Key findings include greater vegetation trampling but similar litter deposition under high density grazing. The project also found higher dung beetle diversity under rotational grazing regardless of stocking density. Dung beetle activity did not significantly impact greenhouse gas fluxes or dung decomposition rates. Spatial and temporal patterns of dung distribution will be modeled to estimate ranch-level nutrient cycling under different management strategies.

Microalgae Biofuel Literature Review

Alain Lagasse

This document discusses the potential for third generation algae biofuels to displace fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It finds that algae biofuels have significant advantages over fossil fuels, including much higher oil yields per acre and lower carbon dioxide emissions. However, large-scale production of algae biofuels faces challenges, particularly the need for large amounts of water and the currently high energy inputs required. While algae biofuels show promise, further technological advances are still needed to improve their economic viability and environmental sustainability compared to fossil fuels.

Smart Villages

This document discusses using bioprocess technology to produce sustainable biofuels from large-scale algal culture. Specifically, it experimentally proves that combining plug flow reactors with airlift fermenters on a large scale can sustainably generate biofuels by harvesting light with algae. This process allows for continuous fermentation, biomass separation with only sparging required, and generates algal biomass in self-sustaining airlift fermenters. Algae are also efficient producers of oil and biomass and have higher photosynthetic efficiency and growth rates than plants. The document concludes that microalgae have much higher biofuel yields than other feedstocks and can use non-arable land, making them a promising

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

This document summarizes a study examining the impact of different fertilizer application rates on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and nitrogen losses from plantain crops in Puerto Rico. The study involves measuring N2O fluxes, soil nutrients, plant growth, and yields from a control and 3 treatments - a slow release fertilizer, the local agricultural university's recommended rate, and no additional nitrogen. Preliminary results show significantly reduced N2O emissions from the lower nitrogen rates, though yields were similar across treatments. The results will be used to calibrate a modeling tool to estimate potential nutrient and greenhouse gas reductions across Puerto Rico and identify areas for greatest impact. The long term goals are to develop best practices to reduce emissions and establish an

Session 5.1 strong spatial variability of LUE in coffee agroforestry systems

This study found that shade trees increased the light use efficiency (LUE) of coffee plants by 57% despite decreasing available photosynthetically active radiation (aPAR) by 41%. The 3D light and gas exchange model MAESPA found that the increased LUE under shade trees could only be partially explained by the increase in diffuse light, with changes to microclimate also playing a role. Surprisingly, the net primary productivity of coffee resprouts did not differ between light environments, suggesting a nearly total compensation of productivity despite large reductions in aPAR under shade trees. This level of compensation is rarely observed in other studies but may be possible due to coffee's natural shade tolerance.

Anaerobic Digestion & Biogas Association

This document summarizes a presentation given at the UK AD and Biogas conference on maximizing the fertilizer value of anaerobic digestate. The presentation discusses the typical nutrient content of food-based digestate and livestock slurries. It also discusses techniques to maximize nutrient use efficiency such as applying digestate in spring to minimize nitrate leaching, using band spreading or shallow injection to reduce ammonia loss and ensure even application. The presentation recommends knowing the nutrient content of the digestate through lab analysis, applying it accurately and evenly using precision machinery, and integrating it into farm nutrient management plans to reduce the need for bagged fertilizers.

Soil and Water Conservation Society

This project worked with small farmers in Florida to reduce water quality degradation from farm runoff. The project exposed farmers to techniques like efficient compost/manure use, improved irrigation, and solar power systems. Soil and water tests showed that at one site, practices increased organic matter and adjusted nutrient levels, while a flooded site had increased hardness, calcium, and sodium. The project provided training, demonstrations, and consultations to farmers, with most upgrading irrigation systems and some adopting conservation practices. Ongoing challenges include excessive manure use and high solar costs.

The document presents the results of a life cycle assessment comparing the environmental impacts of water quality from non-potable water reuse and energy recovery using anaerobic and aerobic treatment trains. It finds that a mainstream anaerobic process has the potential to be more sustainable than conventional aerobic treatment, especially when optimized for maximum biogas recovery and minimum energy consumption. Further experimental work is recommended to better realize the environmental benefits of anaerobic nutrient removal technologies.

Magnetic Water Treatment .Haripriya Radhakrishnan

Haripriya Radhakrishnan

Magnetic water treatment is a technology that uses magnets to alter the structure of water without changing its chemistry. It works by applying a magnetic field to water, which exerts a Lorentz force on ions and increases collisions between ions. This causes water molecules to cluster into smaller, more "bio-friendly" formations that can prevent scale buildup and increase nutrient absorption in plants. Studies have shown magnetic water treatment can increase crop yields by 10-30%, reduce water and fertilizer use, and improve soil health. Case studies on wheat, peas, and amaranth found magnetized irrigation water significantly increased plant growth rates and nutrient content compared to non-magnetized water.

The potential of microalgae meals in compound feeds for aquaculture

Intensive production of mainly carnivorous fish has resulted in fish feeds containing high levels of fishmeal and fish oil, with Europe requiring around 1.9 million tonnes a year. Although this use of fishmeal was initially the recycling of waste from fishing through the use of bycatch and trimmings, due to the rapid development of aquaculture this reliance on fishmeal and fish oil is environmentally unsustainable. This has resulted in other sources of fish feed being investigated. This literature review will focus on microalgae; the composition in terms of nutritional quality, the current methods of production and associated costs along with potential future uses such as feed in aquaculture.

This document discusses a study on enhancing biogas production through co-digestion of fruit and vegetable waste with cow dung. Four mixtures of fruit, vegetable, and cow waste were prepared in different ratios and subjected to anaerobic digestion. The biogas production from each mixture was measured and modeled using logistic and modified Gompertz kinetic models. The results showed that a ratio of 0.5 parts fruit waste, 1.5 parts vegetable waste, and 1 part cow waste produced the highest amount of biogas and fit best to the modified Gompertz model. Characterization of the waste mixtures found total solid and volatile solid contents ranged from 74-75% with C/N ratios between 5-9.

Syed Ayyaz Ahsan

This document discusses demands on biogas plants, including demands related to logistics, physical properties of substrates, and biochemical qualities of substrates. It notes that biogas production requires continuous availability of substrates. Substrates must meet demands regarding solid content, temperature, and viscosity for efficient microbial activity. Substrates also must provide suitable conditions for different microorganisms involved in hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis stages. The use of digestate as fertilizer poses demands around nutrient supply and contaminant loads.

Cynthia Kusin Okoro-Shekwaga

This document summarizes a study on the effects of biochar amendment on soil microbial communities, greenhouse gas fluxes, and crop yields. Random matrix theory-based network analysis revealed that biochar treatment resulted in a more complex and resilient microbial community network compared to the no biochar treatment. Crop yields tended to increase for the Napier biograss but not for corn. Greenhouse gas flux data and further microbial analyses are still underway. The long term goals are to improve agricultural sustainability through biochar amendment and understand the underlying microbial processes influencing greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration.

This document reviews the effects of environmental factors and nutrient availability on the biochemical composition of algae for biofuels production. It discusses how temperature, light, pH, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace metals can affect algal growth rates and the partitioning of carbon into lipids and carbohydrates. Understanding these interactions is important for developing sustainable high-productivity algal biofuel systems. While algae have potential for high oil yields, commercial production of algal biofuels has faced challenges. The review examines how environmental conditions influence algal metabolism and composition in both natural and engineered systems.

IRJET- Biogas Production from Municipal Solid Waste:- A Review

This document reviews biogas production from municipal solid waste via anaerobic digestion. It discusses key factors that affect biogas production such as temperature, pH, carbon-nitrogen ratio, total solids and volatile solids. The document reviews several past studies on biogas production from waste materials like cattle manure, fruit and vegetable waste, and municipal waste. It finds that biogas yield varies significantly depending on factors like feedstock used and digestion conditions. The maximum reported methane yield was 404 ml/g VS from wheat plant waste, while the minimum was 0.40 Nm3/kgVS from waste in Varanasi, India. Further optimization of digestion systems is needed to improve biogas production efficiency from municipal solid waste

Micro - algae cultivation for biofuels: cost, energy balance, environmental i...

Alejandro Roldan

Micro-algae have potential as a feedstock for biofuels but their economic viability and environmental sustainability depends on the energy and carbon balance, environmental impacts, and production costs. Most studies find that achieving a positive energy balance requires technological advances, and aspects like pumping energy, construction materials, fertilizer, and drying require further optimization. Environmental impacts from water, carbon dioxide, and nutrients could constrain design options. Cost estimates need better empirical data from commercial-scale production systems designed for biofuels. Significant cost reductions may only be possible if carbon, nutrients, and water are very low-cost, which is very demanding.

Life Cycle Assessment

Ederwin Krizzia centeno

This study evaluated the life cycle assessment of organically grown cotton from cultivation to disposal. Key findings include that field emissions significantly contributed to environmental impact categories like eutrophication and acidification. Fertilizer production was also an important contributor to impacts. Compared to conventional cotton, organic cotton showed potential savings of 46% for global warming potential, 70% for acidification potential, 26% for eutrophication, 91% for blue water consumption, and 62% for non-renewable energy demand. These reductions were largely due to avoiding mineral fertilizers and pesticides in organic systems.

Biogas Production Enhancement from Mixed Animal Wastes at Mesophilic Anaerobi...

IJERA Editor

In this work, the effect of mixing ratio of cattle dung (CD) and poultry droppings (PD) on biogas generation was determined. Mixtures of various CD: PD ratios (100% : 0%; 50% : 50%; 60% : 40%; 80% : 20% and 0% : 100%) were prepared, analyzed and then aerobically digested for a period of 40 days. For each mixture, fermentation was carried out in a 20 L capacity digester. Results showed that biogas was obtained from the digestion of CD and PD alone, showing the biogas from CD was several times larger than that from PD. Furthermore, the resulted biogas yields from mixtures were found a function of the CD : PD ratio, the yield from the ratio 80 : 20 was the maximum. Biogas yields from the prepared mixtures were found and arranged from larger to lower in the form of (CD : PD) ratios as follow: 80% : 20%; 100% : 0.0%; 60% : 40%; 0.0% : 100%;50% : 50%. Addition of CD to PD enhances the PD production of biogas, while addition of a small portion of PD to CD gave the maximum yield, a result not determined in literature. In other hand, larger additions of PD to CD reduced the biogas yield. The effect of pH was also determined and found better around 7.0. These results are in agreement with research work in literature.
