Professor Nuri AZBAR' s Lab
Background Information
The main research aim of this laboratory is to consider waste as a resource through biorefinery window and maximize the recovery of their values. For this purpose, studies on biomethane and biohydrogen production from organic material, production of value added materials from organic waste material using eco-friendly microbiological methods, enhancement of biodegradtion of toxic wastes via advanced oxidation processes are studied.
Research Area
- Biohydrogen production from organic wastes,
- Anaerobic biodegradation of olive mill effluent (OME) wastewater,
- Enhancement of anaerobic biodegradation of OME via advanced oxidation processes (AOPs),
- Co-digestion of chicken waste, cheese whey wastewater and OME,
- Biomethane production from organic fraction of municipal solid wastes,
- Enhancement of biodegradation of organic materials with toxic content using AOPs,
