Solar energy driven photocatalytic membrane modules for water reuse in agricultural and food industries. Pre-industrial experience using s-triazines as model molecules by Ignazio Renato Bellobono, Franca Morazzoni, Riccardo Bianchi, Emilia Simona Mangone, Rodica Stanescu, Cristina Costache, Paola Maria Tozzi

“…A membrane module, utilizing photocatalytic membranes, has been employed in a pilot plant, in conditions of solar irradiation, to investigate photomineralisation of atrazine, propazine, terbutylazine, symazine, prometryn, and ametryn, as model molecules of s-triazine herbicides, at a standard concentration (1.0 ppm) simulating those of contaminated aquifers, by using ozone as oxygen supplier. Photocatalytic composite membranes immobilised 30±3 wt.% of TiO2 and 6 wt.% of a synergic mixture of tri-(t-butyl)- and tri-(i-propyl)vanadate(V). …”

Modeling quinoa growth under saline and water-limiting conditions using SWAP-WOFOST by Diana C. Estrella Delgado, Tom De Swaef, Jan Vanderborght, Eric Laloy, Gerda Cnops, Maarten De Boever, Abdelaziz Hirich, Ayoub El Mouttaqi, Sarah Garré

“…Soil salinization in arid and coastal areas poses a significant threat to crop production, which is further aggravated by climate change and the over-exploitation of aquifers. Cultivation of salt and drought-tolerant crops such as quinoa represents a promising adaptation pathway for agriculture in saline soils. …”
