The impact of golf courses on nutrient dynamics from developed areas
(2017)
Proper management strategies aimed at reducing the export of excess nitrogen and phosphorus to water bodies are fundamental for resolving nutrient pollution and eutrophication. Golf courses are more intensely managed than ...
Conversion of crude glycerol from the biodiesel industry to value added products
(2017)
Crude glycerol is a major by-product of the biodiesel industries. For every 100 kg of biodiesel produced, approximately 10 kg of the byproduct glycerol is generated. With the large increase in biodiesel production, there ...
