The nitrogen atoms are anchored in the carbon structure during hydrothermal treatment. Subsequent pyrolysis converts the hydrochar into a catalyst with highly catalytically active aromatic ring structure (HC-N+PY). The as-prepared HC-N+PY electrocatalyst demonstrates superior oxygen reduction reaction activity with half-wave potentials of 0.82 V. The MFC with HC-N+PY exhibits excellent performance, with a peak power density of 1444 mW/m².

In this study, the pilot-scale biofilters were classified into biologically active zones (BZs), transition zones (TZs), and DZs. The results indicated that microbial communities undergo accelerated succession from the TZ.

Results indicate that main damages of microbial degradation start from asphalt surface and then permeates into its interior. Microorganisms degrade light components of asphalt as nutrients and decompose them into CO₂ and H₂O through oxidation reactions, but exhibit limited degradation ability to macromolecular components.

This waste material must be repurposed and effectively managed to minimize environmental footprints. The generation of abundant biowaste, especially from marine sources, may have detrimental impacts on the environment and human health if left untreated. In recent years, substantial efforts have been made to valorize seafood waste, contributing significantly to the sustainability of the blue economy through the repurposing of marine discards. Seafood waste can be transformed into different by-products which can be applied as soil amendment to enhance soil quality and health, demonstrating a holistic approach to repurposing and waste utilization. The extraction of bioactive metabolites from these waste materials has opened avenues for developing nanofertilizers. This intersection of waste valorization and nanotechnology is pertinent in the context of sustainable agriculture. While conventional fertilizers improve soil fertility with significant leaching and gaseous losses, the advent of nanofertilizers introduces a paradigm shift with their targeted and controlled delivery mechanisms, rendering them significantly more efficient in resource utilization and mitigation of environmental crises. This review delves into the global issue of seafood waste accumulation, offering an overview of various methods for repurposing. The primary aim of this review is to bring into limelight the recent efforts in developing a portfolio of carbon-based nanofertilizers derived from organic waste, replacing previous valorization methods due to their sustainability, efficiency, and eco-friendliness. There are immense opportunities for future work in this direction by exploring innovative nanoengineering approach owing to the potential of carbon nanofertilizers in enhancing the production of value-added products and reduction of environmental pollution.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":258,"journal":{"name":"Bioresource Technology","volume":"416 ","pages":"Article 131783"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142610784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
