“Biodegradative capacity of ligninolytic enzymes: applicables for biorremediation of polluted ecosystems.”

  • Lic. Lucía Laura Ledo Alonso

Environmental pollution is one of the big problems in the world. The industrial development has enhanced the discharge to the environment of large quantities of chemical compounds with high toxicity and limited possibility of biodegradation. The use of enzymatic methods for remediation of polluted areas is a cost-effective and promising strategy. White rot fungi are the most efficient producers of oxidative extracellular enzymes with capacity to transform hazardous pollutants. The biotechnologic...

Analytical determination of the low heating value of municipal solid waste in the city of Havana as way to measure its energetic potential

  • Ing. Arael Alfonso Cardero

A crucial parameter for prefeasibility studies of waste-to-energy technologies is the low heating value (LHV) of the municipal solid waste (MSW). There are different empiric equations based on the gravimetric as well as the elemental composition of the MSW for this purpose. The objective of this work was to estimate the LHV of the MSW in the city of Havana in order to evaluate its energetic potential. From the gravimetric composition reported in the literature the proximate and ultimate analyses...
