The structural and chemical properties of the carbohydrate-based composite were investigated using several techniques, including XRD, SEM, </span>EDX<span><span>, TGA and </span>FTIR<span>. The results show that the synthesized material has good textural properties and high temperature resistance. Equilibrium results were well described by the Langmuir isotherm. Under optimal conditions, specifically, an initial MO concentration of 100 mg/L, a contact time of 80 min, and a pH of 4.4, the maximum removal efficiency of MO reached 98.9 %, with an adsorption capacity of 324.62 mg/g. Even after five regeneration cycles, the removal efficiency remained high at 83.4 %, demonstrating the adsorbent’s strong reusability. To further understand the interfacial interactions and adsorption behavior of methyl orange (MO) on the synthesized CGAC composite, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed. These theoretical investigations provided a comprehensive understanding of the adsorption mechanism by elucidating the electronic properties, structural formation, and fundamental bonding interactions between MO and CGAC. The DFT analysis revealed critical insights into charge distribution, donor–acceptor interactions, and adsorption energy, offering a deeper perspective on the stability and efficiency of MO removal by CGAC material. The as-prepared carbohydrate-based composite exhibits significant potential for wastewater treatment because of its high adsorption efficiency, environmentally friendly composition, and sustainable nature.</span></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"151 ","pages":"Pages 576-590"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145048055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review explores the potential of closed-loop bioleaching as a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for metal recovery, focusing on end-of-life mobile phones. The process is structured into four interconnected stages: (1) bioproduction of the leaching agent, leveraging microorganisms such as <em>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</em> to oxidize Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺; (2) pre-treatment of e-waste, which employs mechanical processes to optimize materials for leaching; (3) leaching, where Fe³⁺ solubilizes valuable metals from pre-treated e-waste; and (4) metal recovery, using methods such as solvent extraction, ion exchange, and electrodeposition. This review examined the critical parameters that influence these stages, including culture medium composition, pH, aeration rates, and the heterogeneous nature of e-waste. Compared to traditional pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical approaches, bioleaching offers advantages such as reduced energy consumption and a lower environmental impact. However, challenges remain such as improving the reaction kinetics, mitigating the inhibitory effects of metal accumulation, and scaling up the process for industrial applications. Therefore, this study identifies the key priorities for advancing closed-loop bioleaching: optimizing bioprocess efficiency, integrating automation and real-time monitoring systems, and addressing regulatory and economic barriers to large-scale implementation. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the bioleaching process and its applications, this review highlights its transformative potential in driving a circular economy and fostering the sustainable valorization of e-waste.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"151 ","pages":"Pages 90-111"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145047766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The operation is supported by enantiopure seeding in amount and size distribution that translates to the desired product size according to the material balance and McCabe’s ΔL law, assuming that there are no distomer crystals in the product. The DNC ensures that in the case of any nucleation (the target enantiomer or the distomer), the newly formed crystals are dissolved, and the solids’ enantiopurity and size distribution integrity are preserved. In this context, a routinely used in-line tool, e.g., imaging or laser back-scattering-based, can help to control the deracemization in an inferential way that would be difficult to monitor directly. The simulation studies performed based on population balance-based modeling indicated the feasibility of the approach, and the thorough parametric study revealed that there is a correlation between the DNC settings and kinetic properties of the crystallization and the racemization. A SHAP interpretation of an extreme gradient boosting-based classifier allowed us to draw practical conclusions about the desired DNC operation, including working in a high-temperature range, minimizing the stirring rate, and using broader DNC count ranges.
