DIRECTIONAL SELECTION OF MICROBIAL COMMUNITY REDUCES PROPIONATE ACCUMULATION IN GLYCEROL AND GLUCOSE ANAEROBIC BIOCONVERSION UNDER ELEVATED PCO2

Directional Selection of Microbial Community Reduces Propionate Accumulation in Glycerol and Glucose Anaerobic Bioconversion Under Elevated pCO2

Volatile fatty acid accumulation is a sign of digester perturbation.Previous work showed the thermodynamic limitations of hydrogen and CO2 in syntrophic propionate oxidation under elevated partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2).Here we study the effect of directional selection under increasing substrate load as a strategy to restructure the microbial commu

Novel Piezoelectric Emergency Opening Sub-System to Improve the Safety and Reliability of Zero-Holding-Energy Permanent Magnet Magnetic Contactors

Conventional switchgear such as relays and magnetic contactors (MC) continuously consume energy to maintain an open and/or closed state, contributing to unnecessary energy consumption, dissipation, and heating.The minimization of such losses has become an important topic in recent years, leading to the development of more energy-efficient technolog
