SSF is very similar to composting, as it implies the aerobic biodegradation of organic solid waste, but with the objective of obtaining bioproducts in some point of the process, although a compost-like end product may be also produced. Also, SSF can be coupled with anaerobic digestion, as solid digested materials can act as substrates for SSF, with a double benefit: renewable bioenergy and bioproducts. Among these bioproducts, SSF has moved from classical biotechnological compounds (enzymes or antibiotics) to more complex biomaterials, such as biopesticides, bioplastics, biosurfactants, or biostimulants, among others, which are now an emergent field of research and one of the main objectives of SSF. In summary, it is evident that SSF will have a predominant role in the framework of circular bioeconomy and in novel biorefineries for biowaste and wastewater sludge valorization, although some challenges still need further research (scale-up and down-stream).</p><p >In the framework of circular bioeconomy, solid-state fermentation emerges as a new biotechnology to change the paradigm: from waste to product, with a strong agreement with most of the Sustainable Development Goals.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"1 8","pages":"1630–1638 1630–1638"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acssusresmgt.4c00062","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142020202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional methods of recycling do not help in managing Styrofoam waste efficiently because of economic factors and minimal technological advancements available. Pyrolysis is one of the promising ways to transform styrenofoam wastes into value-added compounds with nominal emission of harmful gases. This research aims to explore the synthesis of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) from Styrofoam waste through hydrothermal pyrolysis and convert it into a high-utility, value-added product. The successful formation of GQDs was confirmed through multiple characterization techniques: transmission electron microscopy revealed a uniform size distribution of 6 ± 1 nm; dynamic light scattering confirmed all GQD samples were below 10 nm; Raman spectroscopy identified the presence of a single-layered graphene structure; and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated the incorporation of nitrogen and oxygen functionalities. The quantum yield of GQDs increased with increase in reaction temperature and the edge functionalities, giving a peak value of 1.87 as confirmed using photoluminescence and UV-Vis spectroscopy, indicating their suitability for enhanced optical performance. The synthesized GQDs were explored as sensors for the detection of heavy metal ions in water. The sensor showed versatility and efficacy for copper ions across different pH levels, water sources, and anions present in various copper salts. Ultimately the concentration of unknown copper ion solutions was calculated from GQD-sensor-based RGB studies, matching closely with UV-Vis spectroscopy values of the unknown solutions. This work demonstrates a promising approach for the pyrolysis-based treatment of plastic waste, contributing to waste management and sustainability efforts.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"1 8","pages":"1824–1833 1824–1833"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142020200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this conundrum, a novel surface-active/π-electron-rich designer lipopeptide bioamphiphile (DLB) was biomanufactured with abundant BPA-specific and anti-interference regulating functional sites for targeted removal of BPA from MLL. To achieve this, the aromatic π-electron-rich amino acids and surface-active fatty acids were screened from waste-activated sludge and poultry industry wastes, respectively, using thermal-alkali pre-treatment and were concurrently bio-upcycled in the domains of DLB via a de-novo substrate-dependent synthesis pathway employing <i>Bacillus tropicus</i> MK613141.

The cross-talk interaction study between DLB molecular chemistry and MLL matrix chemistry unveiled the intricate interplay of hydrogen bonding, π–π, cation−π, and hydrophobic interactions in enhanced BPA sequestration by DLB-FNABC. The solvent shielding experiment divulges the higher contribution of hydrophobic interaction (95.9 mg g^–1 DLB-FNABC) to BPA sequestration compared to the ∑hydrophilic interactions (83.1 mg g^–1 DLB-FNABC). Subsequently, DLB-FNABC when applied to real-time MLL matrix removed the majority of environmentally relevant BPA (&gt;99% sequestration) at an applied dose of 30 mg L^–1 only.
