Project description

The main objective of this research is to investigate different experimental conditions for hydrothermal process applied to digestates of mono-digestion and co-digestion processes with the main goal of reducing the heavy metals concentrations and bioavailability. It is hypothesized that these factors will be reduced by controlling different parameters of hydrothermal process such as temperature and retention times
