Mineral–microbe interactions play important roles in environmental change, biogeochemical
cycling of elements and formation of ore deposits. Minerals provide both beneficial (physical …

This paper critically reviews the impacts of supplementing trace elements on the anaerobic
digestion performance. The in-depth knowledge of trace elements as micronutrients and …

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for all life on Earth and it acts as a major control on
biological productivity in the modern ocean. Accurate reconstructions of the evolution of life …

Over the past century a number of models have been developed to explain the vast
stratigraphic distribution of authigenic dolomite. These models include hydrogeological …

Trace metals are essential for the growth of anaerobic microorganisms, however, in practice
they are often added to anaerobic digesters in excessive amounts, which can lead to …

Nitrification, the aerobic oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via nitrite, has been suggested to
have been a central part of the global biogeochemical nitrogen cycle since the oxygenation …

Ruminant livestock represent the single largest anthropogenic source of the potent
greenhouse gas methane, which is generated by methanogenic archaea residing in …

Abstract The Paris Climate Treaty implies the coming of a new era towards carbon-neutral
operation in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and thus energy self-sufficiency from …

The opportunities and challenges of applying micronutrients (MiNs) in full-scale anaerobic
digestion (AD) plants has been reviewed. The review discusses the underlying mechanisms …

The use of fossil fuels, emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere, and
waste pose a problem to the environment and public health that urgently needs to be dealt …
