Decontamination and Valorisation of a Corn-to-Ethanol Biofuel Waste Stream
… zero energy production has accelerated global biofuel production, resulting in the generation of novel, complex waste streams which challenge conventional treatment methods. This study investigates the physiochemical characteristics, decontamination and valorisation potential of a tertiary waste …
