This review comprehensively evaluates advanced AFR treatment technologies through bibliometric analysis, examining global research trends and identifying main technologies for converting AFR into high-value products. The technologies are categorized based on their products: biofuels (solid, gaseous, and liquid) and functional products (carbon fertilizer, activated carbon, platform molecular compounds). Various treatment methods, including pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion (AD), hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), gasification, and composting, are assessed for their conversion efficiency, energy requirements, environmental impacts, and economic viability. While biofuel production offers significant benefits, the processes are often energy-intensive and require precise control to minimize environmental impacts. Similarly, the conversion into functional products demands rigorous management to ensure product consistency and safety, particularly concerning antibiotic residues and ARGs.

Thermodynamic modelling of the system was conducted in Aspen Plus V12, applying the Gibbs free energy minimization method and accounting for all by-products. Key decision variables, including the water-to-glycerol ratio, CO₂-to-glycerol ratio, and reforming temperature, were examined for their impact on process performance. Results demonstrated that bi-reforming glycerol is more advantageous for syngas production compared to dry reforming, as it operates at lower temperatures, reducing coke formation. A glycerol bi-reforming process was simulated and optimized using MOO to maximize syngas production and CO₂ conversion while minimizing exergy loss and CO₂ emissions. The optimization revealed trade-offs among the objectives, with the Pareto front showcasing optimal solutions. Specifically, a higher water-to-glycerol ratio favoured a higher H₂-to-CO ratio but led to decreased CO₂ conversion and increased energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. The net flow method (NFM) is used to select the best optimal solutions from the Pareto front solutions based on the weight of the objective functions. Despite these trade-offs, bi-reforming of bio-glycerol was shown to be a viable method for producing syngas with a high H₂/CO ratio and low CO₂ emissions.

Experimental results showed that the water contact angle of OPCM increased from 0° to 152.6°, signifying a change in wettability from superhydrophilicity to superhydrophobicity.
