Dr. Amro Hassanein awarded best poster award on his research “Impact of Nanoparticles on Biogas Production from Poultry Litter” during International Conference on Bioresource Technology for Bioenergy, Bioproducts & Environmental Sustainability (BBIORESTEC), Stages, Spain. This research is part of his work with Dr. Lansing on evaluating the effect that nanoparticles (NPs) additions have on increasing the viability of poultry litter AD, which includes determining the most effective concentration of NP additives to increase methane production, tracking NP degradation during digestion, and uptake of NPs by crops in lab-scale hydroponic system when the digested bio-slurry is used to fertilize the crops.
