However, determining the optimal ratio of different microbial agents in composting and understanding the relationship between microorganism combinations and their ability to degrade lignocellulose remain challenging. This study employed a quadratic regression orthogonal design experiment to identify the optimal ratio of two microbial strains. A mathematical model was developed to determine the optimal ratio of composite microbial agents. The effectiveness of these microbial agents was verified in actual composting and compared with monobacterial strains and EM microbial agents. The statistical significance of the quadratic regression orthogonal design was confirmed (p < 0.05), demonstrating its suitability for modeling microbial interactions in lignocellulose degradation. The observed combined lignin and cellulose decomposition rate in the experimental group was 37.4% after adding the composite microbial agents. These results highlight the applicability of the quadratic regression orthogonal test for optimizing the proportion of composite microbial agents, thereby promoting composting efficiency, and improving the quality of compost products.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145021777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fruit wastes, for example, fruit peel, pomace, skin, rag, and seed fragment, act as feedstock for extracting numerous bioactive compounds, that is, phenolics, pectin, lipids, etc. These bioactive compounds show antioxidant activity which is primarily beneficial for reducing health issues in humans (e.g., alzheimer, cancer, diabetes, etc). Conventional extraction methods for extracting bioactive compounds suffer from large energy consumption, greater solvent usage, and reduced quality/quantity of bioactive compounds, all of which necessitate a shift toward non-conventional methods. This review article discusses the green solvent extraction methods, especially focusing on intensified extraction using deep eutectic solvents (DES) and natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES). In this article, a thorough analysis of the extraction through both conventional and non-conventional techniques is conducted. Subsequently, this article provides a systematic overview with the detailed description of the fruit waste scenario, green solvents, extraction mechanisms, factors influencing the extraction, and adaptation of new techniques for enhancing the extraction efficiency. Review suggests that ultrasound-microwave assisted extraction with natural deep eutectic solvents (UMAE-NADES) technique results in reduced extraction time (about 12–60 times) with respect to conventional method while improving the extraction (about 50%) with moderate conditions.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145021978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enhance Se accumulation in the medicinal plant Perilla frutescens, a pot experiment was carried out to investigate the impact of foliar spraying MT on Se uptake in P. frutescens.

MT at 150 μmol/L displayed the maximum biomass, which increased the root and shoot biomass by 53.37% and 39.09%, respectively, compared to the control. MT also increased the photosynthetic pigment contents in P. frutescens to a certain extent, while it had no significant effect on the chlorophyll a/b ratio. MT increased the antioxidant enzyme activities and soluble protein content of P. frutescens. In addition, MT at 150 and 200 μmol/L increased the root Se content, shoot Se content, bioconcentration, and translocation factor of P. frutescens, while at 25, 50, and 100 μmol/L had no significant effects on these parameters.

The adsorption efficiency of biochar (99% removal in 20 minutes) was markedly higher than that of biomass (72% removal in 30 minutes), attributed to an increase in surface area from 6.994 m2/g (biomass) to 8.664 m2/g (biochar) and the transition from an amorphous to a crystalline structure, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Elemental composition and surface morphology were characterized using EDX mapping and SEM analysis. Adsorption kinetics were investigated using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and intraparticle diffusion models. The kinetic data for biomass conformed better to the pseudo-first-order model, suggesting physical adsorption. In contrast, biochar better fits the pseudo-second-order model, indicating superior chemisorption. Additionally, the Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models demonstrated higher correlation coefficients for biochar, underscoring its enhanced adsorption capabilities. These findings emphasize the potential of biochar as an effective adsorbent for heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145022352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clamping mechanisms have a vital impact on the overall performance and uniformity of the equivalent stress distributions. To improve the fuel cell's performance, reduce the risk of gas leakage, and significantly reduce production and operating costs, the assembly process of the PEMFC stack must be numerically simulated beforehand. A three-dimensional finite element model with an active area of 100 cm2 was developed with single-cell to multiple cells under conventional and novel hydraulic clamping mechanisms. The mechanical behavior of the PEMFC was numerically investigated. ANSYS mechanical finite element (FE) software was used to observe the stresses and deformations in the PEMFC components during the assembly process. This study numerically analyzed the influences of various compression forces on stress and deformation distributions generated in PEMFC stack components. The FE simulation results show better uniform distributions of equivalent stresses on the membrane for the novel clamping mechanism than the conventional one, and the maximum value of the equivalent stress is 12.914% less than the traditional mechanism. In addition, the maximum equivalent stress values in the membrane of the PEMFC, assembled with the novel clamping mechanism, were calculated as 19.631 MPa for the one-cell configuration, 18.542 MPa for the three-cell configuration, and 18.375 MPa for the five-cell configuration.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145022338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NdFeB magnets provide significant coercivity and energy density, which can improve generator performance in low-wind conditions. This paper examines various synthesis methods for NdFeB magnets, including powder metallurgy and melt-spinning, while also exploring their applications and advantages in wind turbines. Challenges such as dependence on rare earth elements, corrosion, and material expenses are also investigated.
