Because of its high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and sheer volume, waste from food processing has significant potential to pollute land, water, and air. Both environmentally and economically, it is important to properly treat food processing wastes including the recovery of valuable products. Food Processing Waste and Utilization: Tackling Pollution and Enhancing Product Recovery discusses possible solutions to tackle food waste generation and its further utilization. It addresses process engineering economics, microbiology of waste recycling, biochemical and nutritional aspects of food waste processing. The book includes detailed guidance and case studies about utilization/valorization of f...
This book provides a comprehensive overview of and state-of-art information on the production and application of second- and third-generation bioplastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). The uses of alternative raw materials are presented, and innovations applied in bioplastics production processes to reduce costs and decrease environmental impacts in a circular bioeconomy are discussed.
Analysis, Removal, Effects and Risk of Pharmaceuticals in the Water Cycle provides an overview of the current analytical methods for trace determination of pharmaceuticals in environmental samples. The book also reviews the fate and occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the water cycle for their elimination in wastewater and drinking water treatment, focusing on the newest developments in treatment technologies, such as membrane bioreactors and advanced oxidation processes. Pharmaceutically active substances are a class of new, so-called emerging contaminants that have raised great concern in recent years. Human and veterinary drugs are continuously being released into the environment mainly as a...

Aquest volum conté la documentació generada pel notari Miquel Llagària, una activitat que es prolongà durant vint anys, des de la dècada de 1540 fins a l?any 1561. Procedent de Xàtiva, s?establí a Sueca, una comunitat rural de l?orde de Montesa que vivia un moment d?expansió agrària. A través d?aquestes actes es pot seguir la vida quotidiana d?una població formada sobretot per llauradors. Tota la vida social i econòmica de les famílies camperoles es reflecteix en els registres notarials, des dels capítols matrimonials fins als testaments i inventaris post mortem, passant per les compravendes, les cessions, l?endeutament o les procuradories. Fins i tot les actuacions del govern local de Sueca i les de la senyoria han deixat un rastre documental que inclou la recaptació d?impostos com la peita o el sequiatge i l?arrendament de drets senyorials, com ara el molí o la carnisseria.
Entre les falaises des montagnes catalanes, se cache le mas Clavell. Dans cette maison reculée, à l’aube, une femme âgée, exagérément âgée, entame son dernier jour. Et toutes les femmes nées et mortes entre ces murs sont là pour la veiller. Joyeuses, elles préparent une fête en l’honneur de celle qui au soir viendra les rejoindre. Cette seule journée contient dès lors quatre siècles de souvenirs. Ceux de Joana, qui voulait un mari. Ceux de Bernadeta, dont les yeux voient ce qu’ils ne devraient pas. Ceux d’Àngela, qui n’a jamais mal. Ceux de Margarida, qui au lieu d’un cœur entier a un cœur aux trois quarts, plein de rage. Ou ceux de Blanca, née sans langue, la ...
