New article: Closing the circle for urban food waste anaerobic digestion: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
New article on developing control release fertilisers by utilising LCFAs with organic based fertilisers derived from waste resources - looking to continue this research for Hons/MSc/PhD level students - DM me sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
I just love talking about opportunities and challenges with managing our waste #biosolids Students were thoroughly engaged and contributing to a robust, and pragmatic discussion about safe and beneficial recovery of nutrients from this waste @arcbiosolids @SAgE_UWA
Well, its smelly, but fun work - loading digestate onto #biochar for upcoming experiments in recovering nutrients from waste resources @IOA_UWA @SAgE_UWA @arcbiosolids @arc_gov_au
Great to talk to @DPIRDWA about sustainable end uses to food waste, and finishing the talk with a glasshouse experiment as part of the @arcbiosolids centre @SAgE_UWA @Richgro_Garden @watercorpwa
