The nineth edition of the international conference on Renewable Resources & Biorefineries (RRB-9) will take place from 5th to 7th of june. This year the conference will take place in Atwerp (Belgium). The RRB conference aims to "providing an overview of renewable resources and biorefineries to impluse a biobased ecenomy and to present new developments in this area".
Our group will contribute to this conference with two works:
- Sustainable biohydrogen production with high energy recovery (Colprim, J., Batlle-Vilanova, P., Puig, S., Gonzalez- Olmos, R. and Balaguer, M.D.). In this work we shown the results obtained with a MEC biocathode producing hydrogen and its potential economic feasibility for future applications.
- Bioelectrochemical systems for groundwater bioremediation (Colprim, J.; Pous, N.; Puig, S. and M.D. Balaguer). In this work we have summarized our published studies on the use of bioelectrochemical systems (BES) to groundwater bioremediation:
i) How low conductivity of groundwater could influence on BES performance?
Puig, S., Coma, M., Desloover, J., Boon, N., Colprim, J. and Balaguer, M.D. 2012.
Autotrophic denitrification in microbial fuel cells treating low ionic strength water. Environmental
Science and technology, 46 (4), 2309-2315. DOI: 10.1021/es2030609.
ii) Are BES able to treat nitrate- polluted groundwater?
Pous, N., Puig, S., Coma, M., Balaguer, M.D. and Colprim, J. 2013.
Bioremediation of nitrate- polluted groundwater in a microbial fuel cell. Journal of Chemical
Technology and Biotechnology (in press). DOI: 10.1002/jctb.4020.
iii) Can sulphate- polluted groundwater be treated in a BES?
Coma, M., Puig, S., Pous, N., Balaguer, M.D. and Colprim, J. 2013.
Biocatalysed sulphate removal in a BES cathode. Bioreseource Technology, 130, 218-223.
