Electricity production via solar energy capturing by living higher plants and microalgae in combination with microbial fuel cells are attractive because these systems promise to generate useful energy in a renewable, sustainable, and efficient manner. This study describes the proof of principle of a photosynthetic algal microbial fuel cell (PAMFC) ...
Among different conversion processes for biomass, biological anaerobic digestion is one of the most economic ways to produce biogas from various biomass substrates. In addition to hydrolysis of polymeric substances, the activity and performance of the methanogenic bacteria is of paramount importance during methanogenesis. The aim of this paper is p...

A key intermediate for the synthesis of Tyromycin A, a C-20 tetrachlorodicarboxylic acid, was produced in six steps starting with the dimerization of methyl 10-undecenoate which was obtained from a renewable resource, e.g. castor oil. The acyloin condensation product was then oxidized, transformed to the diene, followed by ozonization, chlorination...
Abstract: - The general scientific opinion on climate change is that most of the global warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities [1]. The aviation industry is one such activity and is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions [2]. Recently the industry has experienced unprecedented growth both on th...
