This review studies biofuel expansion in terms of competition between conventional and
advanced biofuels based on bioenergy potential. Production of advanced biofuels is …

Because pollution is predicted to worsen and sources of quality water for agriculture and
other human activities are limited, many countries have been motivated to seek novel water …

This work describes an extraction method for giant reed fibers from stems and leaves based
on chemical soaking and crushing through a rolling mill. Obtained fibers, together with the …

The massive biomass availability generated by the common giant reed (Arundo donax L.)
motivates the research for its possible industrial use for high-added-value products through …

Giant reed is known as one of the most important energy plants as a consequence of its
huge dry biomass production. It can be used for bioenergy or biopolymer production. Thus, it …

The massive availability of biomass generated by the common giant reed (Arundo donax L.)

Sewage sludge (SS) is a waste originated from wastewater treatment that could be
considered an interesting source of organic matter and nutrients for agricultural production …

Rinsing tanks of crop sprayers produce significant volumes of Cu-rich Bordeaux mixture
effluents (BME) that can be treated by rhizofiltration in constructed wetlands (CWs). A pilot …

This study investigates the accumulation and distribution of nickel in Arundo donax L. parts
to assess the potential use of this plant in phytoremediation of Ni-contaminated soils. The …

At very low concentrations selenium is an essential micronutrient for humans, animals and
some lower plants including algae and bacteria, whereas Se is extremely toxic at higher …
