Phosphorus recovery through adsorption using iron modified cellulose
(NUI Galway, 2020-04-24)
Phosphorus is an important non – renewable resource, widely used as fertiliser to maintain high crop yields. As the global phosphate reserves will be exhausted in 40 – 150 years, there is a need to explore alternatives to ...
The influence of silvicultural practices on mechanical properties of softwood timber
(NUI Galway, 2019-06)
The increase in the use of structural timber in construction over recent years has been one of the main drivers behind the renewed interest in optimizing forest management for timber quality. Past research and forest ...
Application of electrodialysis into nutrient recovery and antibiotics removal for pig manure management
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-25)
Animal manure should be regarded as a resource rather than a waste as it contains abundant nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) available for plants. Land spreading of animal manure is a common practice while it has to be ...
Nitrogen removal using partial nitritation-anammox process
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-26)
The partial nitritation-anammox (PN-A) process is a promising biological nitrogen-removal process. Compared with the conventional autotrophic nitrification-heterotrophic denitrification process, it requires no organic ...
Analysis of the behaviour of hybrid concrete lattice girder slabs during construction using laboratory and field testing
(NUI Galway, 2020-01-31)
One of the emerging technologies in construction is the development of ‘smart structures’ which have sensors which will allow more efficient, resilient and sustainable structures to be designed and constructed. This research ...
Sustainable treatment technologies using mixed waste media to mitigate agricultural contaminants in land drainage
(NUI Galway, 2020-01-30)
Intensification of agriculture in the European Union has resulted in nutrient losses from farms, which have contributed to a deterioration in water quality. As soil in drainage water ditch networks has limited capacity to ...
