Up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket bioreactor for the production of carboxylates: effect of inocula on process performance and microbial communities by Adrián Lago, Silvia Greses, Inés Moreno, Cristina González-Fernández

“…The first step was to assess the optimum process temperature (25, 35 or 55 ºC) using two different granular inocula, one from a brewery company (BGS) and other from a paper plant company (PGS). These experiments determined that the most suitable temperature for carboxylates production was 25 ºC, obtaining higher bioconversions (27.3 ± 0.3% using PGS and 39.2 ± 0.2% using BGS), despite the low pH value recorded (4.0-4.2). …”

Spatial variation of land use carbon budget and zoning for carbon compensation in the Huai River Eco-economic Belt, China by Hongwen Xu, Xiaorui Tao, Yan Lu, Yuexiang Wang, Hui Li, Zhengwei Ye

“…Huai River Eco-economic Belt is considered to be a typical example of how land use affects carbon budget due to its more drastic land changes. The paper uses the carbon emission coefficient method to analyze the carbon revenue and expenditure of kinds of land-use patterns, and constructs the carbon compensation model with the help of the carbon budget concentration index and the dominant comparative advantage index, and puts forward the carbon compensation zoning program. …”
