DOI: 10.1016/j.jwpe.2017.02.009
Abstract: Abstract Biomass gasification effluent primarily contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) generated during wet scrubbing of synthetic gas. These PAHs are toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic, which, therefore, need to be removed prior to their release… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00525-x
Abstract: Plastic waste management has become a global issue. Polyethylene (PE) is the most abundant synthetic plastic worldwide, and one of the most resistant to biodegradation. Indeed, few bacteria can degrade polyethylene. In this paper, the… read more here.
