Ethanol production was carried out by growing yeast cells immobilized on bagasse carriers. The effects of cellulase hydrolysis of carriers on cell immobilization and ethanol production were investigated. The electrical conductivity of carriers after three days cellulase hydrolysis was 3.7 times...

The uncontrolled discharge of large amounts of food waste (FW) causes severe environmental pollution in many countries. Within different possible treatment routes, anaerobic digestion (AD) of FW into biogas, is a proven and effective solution for FW treatment and valorization. The present paper...

Biodiesel, as an alternative and renewable fuel, has been studied and developed in recent years. In the present paper, a continuous enzyme-catalyzed biodiesel pilot plant using waste cooking oil, with production capacity of 6482 ton/yr, was simulated by Aspen Plus. Detailed operating conditions...

We employ parametric and non-parametric cointegration to investigate the extent of integration between African stock markets and the rest of the world. Long-run correlation estimates imply very low association between the two. The two distinct cointegration approaches confirm the latter through...
