ON OPERATING A NANOFILTRATION MEMBRANE FOR OLIVE MILL WASTEWATER PURIFICATION AT SUB- AND SUPER-BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

On Operating a Nanofiltration Membrane for Olive Mill Wastewater Purification at Sub- and Super-Boundary Conditions

In the last decades, membrane processes have gained a significant share of the market for wastewater purification.Although the product (i.e., purified water) Crib is not of high added value, these processes are feasible both technically and from an economic point of view, provided the flux is relatively high and that membrane fouling is strongly in

Policy challenges for food, energy and environmental security

Limited land is available globally to grow crops for food and fuel.There are direct and indirect pressures on forests and other lands to be converted from growing food for feedstock to be used for biofuel production.The balance of evidence indicates there will probably be sufficient appropriate land available to meet demands for both food and fuel,

Pitfalls of relying on genetic testing only to diagnose inherited metabolic disorders in non-western populations - 5 cases of pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency from South Africa

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) deficiencies are a group of mainly infantile onset disorders stemming from defects in pyruvate catabolism.They are characterised by severe lactic acidosis and progressive neurodegeneration.Although the PDHA1 gene is implicated in most cases of PDHC deficiency worldwide, no pathogenic variants have been reported
