The ability of bacterial biocatalysts to alter fibers’ surface during fiber-biocatalyst interaction in liquid media was determined by analyzing fibers' chemical composition (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), surface color, thickness, surface morphology, and spectral attributes. Results indicated that the production of xylanase by <i>Bacillus licheniformis</i> (1.23 IU/mg of protein) and <i>Bacillus pumilus</i> (1.29 IU/mg of protein) was almost 15 times more than cellulase produced by them. The content of alpha-cellulose (46.7%), hemicelluloses (21.6%), and lignin (11.7%) was slightly decreased in <i>B. licheniformis</i>-treated BPFs. The surface color (whiteness index) was positively improved, indicating color changes (<i>ΔE</i>) of 6.37 and 8.28 for <i>B. pumilus</i> and <i>B. licheniformis-</i>treated fibers, respectively. The thickness of fibers pretreated with <i>B. lichenifiormis</i> (160.75 ± 22.43 mm) and <i>B. pumilus</i> (202.655 ± 24.83) was reduced by 31.90 and 14.14%, respectively. Scanning electron micrograph studies revealed the increased roughness and grooves on the biocatalysts-treated fiber surface. Spectral analysis confirmed the stretching and deformation of inter and intra-molecular bonds of components of banana fibers. Briefly, the study highlights the effectiveness of whole-cell bacterial biocatalysts as a greener and cheaper tool for the surface modification of banana pseudostem fibers.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":487,"journal":{"name":"BioEnergy Research","volume":"17 4","pages":"2190 - 2199"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141930576","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}

It is found that biochar yield is the most common target variable for ML applications in biochar production.

However, the inherent structure of lignocellulose largely hinders enzymatic saccharification efficiency to obtain sugars, thus the development of efficient pretreatment methods to reduce biomass recalcitrance is an important issue. In this study, the effects of two typical processes including hydrothermal (HTP) and citric acid pretreatments (CAP) on the enzymatic hydrolysis yield of reed biomass were investigated. The results indicate that, when performing HTP at 180 °C for 120 min to deconstruct reed, the pretreated biomass led to a higher glucose yield of 87.1% after 72 h enzymatic hydrolysis with cellulase (10 FPU/g substrate). Furthermore, under the pretreatment conditions with 6% (w/v) citric acid, 150 °C, and 60 min, the glucose yield of pretreated reed was 63.4% after hydrolysis with cellulase (10 FPU/g substrate). In this case, adding Tween 80 (100 mg/g substrate) significantly facilitated the enzymatic saccharification activity resulting in the glucose yield of CA-pretreated reed to 84.2%. Compared with the untreated reed, the glucose yield of pretreated residues after HTP and CAP was largely improved by 4.97–5.18 folds which was mainly due to the enhanced crystallinity (50.0–53.2% vs. 45.9%). The total fermentable sugars of 34.7–34.8 g can be produced from 100 g of raw reed biomass based on the proposed HTP and CAP processes. The mechanism of enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis after pretreatments was elucidated through physicochemical characterization techniques. In summary, the proposed pretreatments show high potential application for biorefinery from renewable, abundant reed biomass.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":487,"journal":{"name":"BioEnergy Research","volume":"17 4","pages":"2177 - 2189"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141929536","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}

In this research, biodiesel was synthesized from palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) by way of esterification utilizing a heterogeneous acid catalyst composed of CuO/WPLAHC-S, which was derived from waste palm leaves-based hydrochar. The catalyst was characterized using TGA, XRD, FESEM, EDX, BET, FT-IR, Raman, and acid density. The synthesized catalyst was found to have remarkable stability during the thermal test. The BET surface area, pore volume, and pore width of the synthesized catalyst were measured at 118.47 m²/g, 0.05 cm³/g, and 8.15 nm, respectively. The significant acidity density (18.57 mmol/g) facilitated the simultaneous esterification process. The investigation found that the copper-doped activated hydrochar, treated with sulfuric acid, exhibited excellent catalytic activity. A high yield of 98.34% fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) was achieved under mild conditions with the use of a catalyst concentration of 2 wt.%, a methanol-to-PFAD molar ratio of 15:1, and a reaction temperature of 80 °C for a duration of 3 h. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA was applied to verify the experimental data set for PFAD esterification optimization parameters by predetermining a 95% confidence interval. All of the esterification parameters met the expectation of a <i>p</i>-value less than 0.05 indicating its significant impact on FAME production. The catalyst exhibited excellent performance by maintaining a FAME yield of over 90% after four reaction cycles without requiring reactivation.

Preliminary studies facilitated the identification of an appropriate range to which the variables must be optimized. <i>Scenedesmus dimorphus</i> was obtained from the National Repository for Microalgae and Cyanobacteria [NRMC-F]. The medium optimization resulted in a higher lipid content (38.45%) in the M4N medium under starved conditions.

Under optimized conditions, the efficiency of extraction has been improved from 64.6 to 72.5% with a maximum biodiesel yield of 25.4 wt.%.
