Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have emerged as efficient alternatives by generating highly reactive radicals for effective degradation. These processes are based on the generation of highly reactive oxidative species, such as hydroxyl radicals and sulphate radicals, for the destruction of the toxic organic pollutants into carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts. This study reviews AOPs such as Fenton and Fenton-like processes, UV photolysis, and photo-Fenton methods for azo dye degradation.

Among these, acetic acid is particularly important given its broad industrial applications in vinyl polymers, agrochemicals, and food additives. However, effectively recovering acetic acid from the aqueous fraction (fast pyrolysis) or wood vinegar (slow pyrolysis) of pyrolytic oils remains a challenge. This review summarizes the principal factors affecting acetic acid yield during fast pyrolysis, including feedstock composition (cellulose and hemicellulose), moisture content, temperature, particle size, reactor type, and residence time. Approaches such as mild pretreatments and optimized catalytic conditions can further enhance the release of acetyl groups from hemicellulose, thus raising acetic acid production. Recent advances in separation methods emphasize membrane technologies like nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO). These processes provide high selectivity, energy efficiency, and a reduced environmental footprint compared to traditional techniques such as liquid-liquid extraction and vacuum evaporation. Operational parameters—such as transmembrane pressure, pH, and feed composition—influence both membrane flux and retention of acetic acid. Interactions among solutes, membrane materials, and process conditions can either facilitate or hamper selective acetic acid recovery. This review highlights the potential to integrate optimized pyrolysis parameters with robust membrane systems to achieve sustainable acetic acid production. Ongoing research focuses on improving the acid resistance of membrane materials and elucidating mass transport mechanisms for scale-up. Successful implementation of these technologies will help establish a circular bioeconomy by converting lignocellulosic residues into high-value chemicals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101196,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144665556","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}

Identification of the major compounds in TRLE was conducted on a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS). Theoretical calculations were done and the relationship between the experimental inhibition efficiencies and quantum chemical parameters were obtained. The parameters of thermodynamic equations (<em>K</em><sub><em>ads</em></sub>; <em>E</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>; <span><math><mrow><mi>Δ</mi><msubsup><mrow><mi>G</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>a</mi><mi>d</mi><mi>s</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>o</mi></mrow></msubsup></mrow></math></span>; <span><math><mrow><mi>Δ</mi><msubsup><mrow><mi>S</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>a</mi><mi>d</mi><mi>s</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>o</mi></mrow></msubsup></mrow></math></span>; <span><math><mrow><mi>Δ</mi><msubsup><mrow><mi>H</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>a</mi><mi>d</mi><mi>s</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>o</mi></mrow></msubsup></mrow></math></span>) were calculated and explained. The potential of inhibition of TRLE increased as the concentration of the TRLE increased but reduced with temperature increase. The adsorption of TRLE on the MS surface followed the Langmuir isotherm model. It was revealed that corrosion inhibition may be due to the spontaneous physical adsorption of the TRLE molecules on the surface of the MS. The respective polarisation and impedance data indicated that TRLE is a mixed-type inhibitor and the inhibition mechanism is due to charge-transfer. Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray analytical methods confirmed that TRLE protected the surface of MS and reduced the dissolution of the MS in the acidic solution. The GC-MS data revealed that octadecanoic acid and 9-actadecenoic acid were the most abundant compounds in TRLE and thus, were selected for quantum and molecular dynamics simulation. The theoretical predictions were in good agreement with experimental results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101196,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144654989","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}

This review presents a focused evaluation of biochar derived from dye-laden sewage sludge (DLSS-B), highlighting its potential as a low-cost, sustainable adsorbent for dye removal from wastewater. DLSS, a byproduct rich in organic matter, inorganic minerals, and residual dyes, is thermochemically converted into biochar through pyrolysis. A critical assessment is conducted on how variations in pyrolysis temperature, thermal ramping rate, and inert gas environment influence the resultant biochar’s specific surface area (reaching up to 405 m²/g), pore architecture, and surface functional chemistry. DLSS-B exhibits high adsorption capacities ranging from 200 to 405 mg/g for dyes such as malachite green and crystal violet, primarily through π–π stacking, electrostatic interactions, and hydrogen bonding. Chemical modifications, including acid/alkali activation and metal doping, further enhance its adsorptive performance. Regeneration studies show that DLSS-B can retain up to 92 % efficiency over five cycles, indicating strong reusability. Beyond dye removal, secondary applications such as soil amendment (non-food use) and energy recovery (∼20 MJ/kg) are discussed. This review emphasizes the integrated role of pyrolysis engineering, surface chemistry, and reuse strategies in developing DLSS-B as a viable material for industrial dye remediation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101196,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100271"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144595735","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}
