Abstract

Spent digester streams were reformulated into nutrient rich effluents, capable of supporting biotechnological production of platform chemicals. This was achieved, using a set of physical pre-treatments including, sedimentation, dilution and sieving, followed by cross-flow microfiltration processing...
