No /ph3Offer Description /h3pThe treatment of high-organic-content (HOC) wastewaters from food-processing industries is a majorbrenvironmental challenge due to the high costs and limitations of conventional technologies. Black Soldier Fly larvae (BSFL, Hermetia illucens) offer a promising nature-based solution by converting organic matterbrinto valuable biomass rich in proteins, lipids, and chitin, supporting resource recovery within a CircularbrEconomy framework.



Previous research at the University of Padova demonstrated the feasibility of thebrpatented LarWaR (Larvae for Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery) system, which uses porousbrsupporting materials saturated with wastewater to allow larval feeding and respiration. /pulliAFRICA /liliEUROPE /liliOCEANIA /liliNORTH AMERICA /liliSOUTH AMERICA /liliASIA /liliOTHER /liliE.U. /liliCHINA (MAINLAND) /liliCHINA (HONG KONG) /li /ulpstrongEligibility of fellows: country/ies of residence: /strong /pulliAFRICA /liliEUROPE /liliOCEANIA /liliNORTH AMERICA /liliSOUTH AMERICA /liliASIA /liliOTHER /liliE.U. /liliCHINA (MAINLAND) /liliCHINA (HONG KONG) /li /ulpstrongEligibility of fellows: nationality/ies: /strong /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
