Anaerobic digestion processes result in large volumes of digestates which still require the development of elaborate and viable management options to improve the sustainability of these processes. Coupling of secondary anaerobic treatment with a microalgal nutrient removal process may serve benefits such as residual biogas and associated greenhouse gas capture from the digestate content, microalgal biomass build-up and its further valorization. This study investigated the applicability a microalgal nutrient removal process in a secondarily treated digestate (the digestate of a digestate) as a complementary unit. The results indicated that up to 100% dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), 97.8% total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) and 93.7% ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) removal could be attained in the treatment of the digestate of a digestate using microalgal cultures. Folding phosphorus concentrations via dissolution was found to compensate for dilution related phosphorus deficiency for microalgal growth. Microalgal biomass obtained by the end of operation could be concentrated from 6.4-15.5 mg/L to 164.2-502.6 mg/L (2100-7900%) by simple gravity settling which was correlated with the prevalence of agglomerated particles in the size range of 10-100 mu m. The results demonstrated not only the applicability of the microalgal process after secondary anaerobic treatment of the digestate, but also brought about the dissolution concept for nutrients during microalgal growth.

Ionic liquid pretreatment allows utilization of high substrate loadings in enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass to produce ethanol from cotton stalks
Haykir, Nazife Isik; Bakir, Ufuk (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01)
To enhance the enzymatic conversion of cotton stalks to glucose at high substrate loadings and subsequently to produce ethanol, biomass was subjected to ionic liquid and alkaline pretreatments. Ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIMAc), which reduced biomass crystallinity, was effective in improving the conversion of cotton stalks to glucose (82-85%) regardless of the substrate loading used during enzymatic hydrolysis. On the other hand, the glucose yield decreased from 67% to 55% with an i...
Diallel analysis of wheat parents and their F-2 progenies under medium and low level of available N in soil
Yildirim, Mehmet; Bahar, Bilge; Genc, Ibrahim; Korkmaz, Kursat; Karnez, Ebru (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01)
Due to high production cost and prevention of environmental pollution, it is important to reduce the amount of nitrogen (N) fertilizer used on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The aim of this study was to evaluate N use of 6 x 6 diallel wheat F-2 progenies and parental lines at low (NO, no N fertilizer) and high (N+, 160 kg N ha(-1)) N levels. Significant differences were found between N+ and NO application in grain N content, grain N yield, N use efficiency for grain N yield (NUEgn), and N use efficiency for ...
ASSESSMENT OF THE IRRIGATION PERFORMANCE OF TRANSFERRED SCHEMES IN TURKEY: A CASE STUDY ANALYSIS
ÇAKMAK, BELGİN; Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül; KENDİRLİ, BERNA; Gokalp, Zeki (Wiley, 2010-04-01)
Efforts to increase the amount of irrigation schemes transferred to irrigation associations (IAs) in Turkey have been motivated by the poor performance in terms of cost recovery, equity, efficiency in operation and maintenance (O&M) and repairs of many large irrigation schemes by government agencies, namely the State Hydraulic Works (DSI). The objective of this study is to assess the irrigation system performance of transferred irrigation schemes in the DSI Fifth Regional Directorate service area mainly for...
SELECTION OF CULTURED WHEAT CELLS FOR TOLERANCE TO HIGH-TEMPERATURE STRESS
WANG, WC; SHANG, XM; YUCEL, M; NGUYEN, HT (Wiley, 1993-03-01)
In vitro culture offers approaches to study cellular responses and to obtain cells tolerant to high temperature stress. The objectives of this study were to select wheat cells that tolerate high temperature stress, study cell line stability and cytogenetic characteristics, and compare protein synthesis in selected and control cell lines after exposure to heat stress. Three of 600 colonies plated were recovered after cells had been exposed to 48-degrees-C. Forty-five percent of the cells of the tolerant cell...
STATISTICAL PROCESS ANALYSIS IN BROILER FEED FORMULATION
ALTI, M; OZILGEN, M (Wiley, 1994-09-01)
Statistical analysis of broiler feed production was done with data obtained in an industrial plant in an attempt to characterise the causes of variations in feed composition. Analysis of the experimental data has shown that the feed conversion ratio (FCR) for broilers was between 1.8 and 2.5. This large range of observations were thought to be caused by the wide range of variations in the composition of the feeds. The major factor contributing to the variance of the feed compositions was the variance of the...
