Abstract:
Subject of the PhD Thesis is the humification of municipal and industrial wastewater, for the production of fertilizers/compost for agricultural use.
The complexating mechanism among wastewater and phytochemical molecules/natural monomers and polymers by free radicals, in the presence of atmospheric oxygen, will be examined and the final product, will be spectroscopically evaluated, as humification product.
Aim of the present study is to propose an environmentally friendly and also sustainable way of wastewater management, as opposed to commonly used practices.
