Groundwater pollution from landfill site on pervious sandy soil - a case study of pollution control by Sapari, Nasiman

“…After ten weeks of irrigation, the runners had an average length of 14.4 cm while the average for the control (with normal fertiliser application) was only 5.9 cm. Biomass accumulation in the plots receiving leachate water was more than double the figure for the control plots. …”

Mini-review on substrate & inoculum loadings for anaerobic co-digestion of food waste by Bong, C. P. C., Lee, C. T., Ho, W. S., Hashim,, H., Klemeš, J. J., Ho, C. S.

“…Anaerobic digestion of food waste has shown promising potential for food waste treatment and valorisation by producing biogas as a renewable energy and digestate as fertiliser. Food waste has high biogas potential due to the presence of highly labile organic matter but this can lead to process instability. …”
