Waste coffee oil (SCGO) was ethanolic extracted from SCG; then, ethanol-SCGO mixture was transesterified in supercritical condition without ethanol removal. The ethanolic extraction curves of SCG at a temperature range of 50–70 °C were constructed. Transesterification experiments were studied in a batch reactor and a continuous reactor at various temperatures (275–350 °C) and reaction time (5–40 min) under 15.0 MPa. The molar ratio of ethanol-oil mixture was set at 30:1. The highest ester content of 88.37 ± 3.00 wt% was found in biodiesel obtained at a temperature of 275 °C and a reaction time of 40 min in a batch reactor. Furthermore, excess temperature (< 300 °C) and reaction time (< 20 min) induced thermal degradation and promoted the loss of ethyl linoleate. For continuous reactor, the maximum ester content of 83.38 ± 5.86 wt% was observed at 325 °C and 29.4 min of residence time. Unlike in batch reactors, thermal degradation of ethyl linoleate was not observed in a continuous reactor. The results showed that ethanolic extraction and supercritical transesterification are alternative ways to produce biodiesel from SCG without removing extractant and using catalyst. From a prospective point of view, techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) of invented process should be conducted to ensure profitability and environmental benefits, respectively.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":487,"journal":{"name":"BioEnergy Research","volume":"17 4","pages":"2429 - 2439"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141549456","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 benchmark value for the changes was defined before the coppice emerged after the clear-cut of the previously planted hybrid aspen plantation. The studied systematical thinning treatments were as follows: corridor thinning with removal of 67% of the trees (CT), cross-corridor thinning with removal of 89% of the trees (CCT), and unthinned (UT) coppice. The UT and CT treatments resulted in a positive carbon balance at the ecosystem level. In all treatments, a decrease of soil acidity, organic C, total N, K, Mg and Mn contents, and an increase of soil Cu and B contents were observed in the 0–20-cm deep layer. The concentrations of leaf N, P, and K were higher in UT than in the two thinning treatments, indicating that the aspens had not entirely recovered from the changed root to shoot ratio 2 years after thinning, whereas the leaf mass fraction of medium- and small-sized trees had already increased.

These wastes are rich in organic matter, and their landfill disposal negatively impacts the environment. An alternative to reducing and recovering this waste would be to use it as a substrate in anaerobic digestion (AD) to produce biogas. This study investigated methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) production using different concentrations of EDP co-digested with synthetic domestic wastewater (SDW). Five anaerobic batch reactors (1000 mL) were assembled with different concentrations of EDP in SDW (500 mL working volume), namely (1) 0%, (2) 5.0%, (3) 7.5%, (4) 10.0%, and (5) 15.0% (v/v).

Assay 5 (15% EDP) was inhibited by volatile fatty acid (VFA) accumulation. However, assays 2, 3, and 4 (with 5.0–10.0% EDP) showed high CH<sub>4</sub> yields (mLCH<sub>4</sub>/gVS<sub>add</sub>) of 319, 333, and 317, respectively, demonstrating the feasibility of anaerobic co-digestion of EDP with SDW. In assays 3 and 4, a similar archaeal community structure was observed, dominated by the genera <i>Methanosaeta</i>, <i>Methanolinea, Methanoregula</i>, and <i>Methanobacterium</i>. In assay 2, the archaeal community demonstrated lower dominance due to insufficient substrate adaptation.
