The present work aims at studying the variation of physical properties of sewage sludge during biochar production and assessing the impact of such change on the fluid-dynamic behavior of binary mixtures with silica sand. Sewage sludge was obtained from the municipal wastewater treatment plant of the city of Bogotá, D.C. Biochar samples were produced through pyrolysis in a thin layer fixed bed reactor at 450 °C, 550 °C and 650 °C under heating rates of about 5 K/s. Three different particle sizes of the initial sewage sludge samples were studied (106 μm to 150 μm, 150 μm to 212 μm, and 300 μm to 500 μm). Particle size and particle density of the original sewage sludge and the produced biochar samples were measured. It was found that the reduction in particle mean diameter at the highest temperature was of 19% and for the particle density the reduction was of 29%. The fluidization behavior of the biochar samples mixed with silica sand (approximately 20% char to 80% sand in volume) was studied in a cold flow model and the minimum fluidization velocity of the mixtures (<i>u</i>_mf) was experimentally determined. The ability of different correlations reported in the literature to accurately predict the minimum fluidization velocity of the obtained biochars – sand mixtures was evaluated. Even though some qualitative changes in the fluid dynamic behavior of the mixtures were identified as a result of the change in properties, no clear quantitative change in the minimum fluidization velocity could be observed. On the one hand, the reduction in particle mean diameter and in particle density does not present relevant changes in the Geldart classification of the fuel particle, and on the other hand, the fuel particles are prone to segregate creating an overlap in the minimum fluidization velocity of the two different solid phases.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":488,"journal":{"name":"Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery","volume":"16 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13399-026-07118-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147738651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fruiting was achieved in 68% of the inoculated logs after an average incubation period of 327.5 ± 41.2 days, resulting in a yield of 1.40 ± 1.03% and a biological efficiency (BE) of 2.79 ± 2.27%. Mushrooms cultivated in CEA exhibited significantly higher levels of protein (5.62%, fw), dietary fiber (50.6%, fw), and α-tocopherol (14.8 mg/100 g, dw) compared to wild samples, along with improved antioxidant activity (DPPH EC50: 535.01 µg/mL) and inhibition of oxidative hemolysis (OxHLIA EC50: 62.23 µg/mL). In contrast, wild specimens exhibited greater biochemical diversity, including higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, organic acids (namely oxalic acid), and a broader phenolic profile, which correlated with stronger inhibition of lipid peroxidation (TBARS EC50: 90.94 µg/mL).

The growth parameters and biological efficiency of the agro-wastes revealed faster onset of mycelium growth, completion of mycelium growth, and pinhead initiation on Ramie decorticated residue compared to bamboo waste. The biological efficiency of Ramie decorticated residue (97.9%) was significantly (p-value 0.014) higher than bamboo waste (64.6%). The mushrooms grown on Ramie decorticated residue and bamboo waste were found to contain crude fiber (10.3% and 9.64%), fat (1.6% and 4.81%), protein (17.28% and 16.98%), carbohydrate (60.69% and 51.69%), ash content (4.71 and 7.91%), and energy (326.28 and 317.97 Kcal/100gm) within the normal range respectively. The estimated daily intake, bioaccumulation factor, and hazard quotient analysis of the heavy metal content revealed that both substrates produced edible mushrooms. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis revealed Ramie decorticated residue grown mushrooms to contain Ergosterol derivatives, Ergost-2,5,7,9(11),22-pentaene showing highest binding affinity with vascular endothelial growth factor, Ergost-7-en-3β-ol with DNA gyrase subunit β, while Ergost-5,7,9(11),22-tetraen-3β-o with α-sterol demethylase following insilico analysis through PyRx and AutoDock 4.2.6.

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the removal of volatile organic components after calcination, resulting in improved thermal stability. Surface characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed increased porosity and a rougher surface morphology compared to raw RBOS, providing more active sites for chromium adsorption.

Because of their unique physicochemical features and high surface-to-volume ratio, these nanoparticles have outstanding antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, and catalytic activities. The current review focuses on the various biological applications, comparative benefits over traditional approaches, and the mechanics and principles of green synthesis. The antifungal activity against pathogenic species is given particular attention, and green-synthesised nanoparticles show strong efficacy even against fungi that are resistant to drugs. Additionally, characterisation methods like FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, and UV-Vis spectroscopy validate the stability and shape of nanoparticles.

The conversion was carried out by conventional pyrolysis (ACP) and microwave irradiation (ACM), and the activated carbons were used to uptake tartrazine yellow (TY) and methylene blue (MB) from water. The results showed that the material produced by the conventional process (ACP) had an S_BET of 587.38 m² g⁻¹ and a predominance of micropores combined with mesopores. These features led to higher adsorption capacities (169.32 mg g^− 1 for TY and 671.99 mg g^− 1 for MB), but lower potential for reuse (3 times). Besides, the conventional process requires more time and reagents. Parallelly, the material developed by microwave (ACM) exhibited an S_BET of 88.11 m² g^− 1 and a mesoporous pore-size classification. Consequently, the adsorption capacities were lower (MB = 504.16 and TY = 103.58 mg g^− 1). Still, the reuse potential was better (5 times). In addition, ACM requires only 90 s of heat treatment and uses fewer reagents for preparation. It was demonstrated that ACP and ACM from Ucuuba (<i>Virola surinamensis</i>) wastes were developed in different ways, each with its own advantages and drawbacks.

In this study, lignin removal from PMS was improved using hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid pretreatment with low-dose H₂SO₄ as acid catalyst, which facilitates release of peracetic acid enhancing delignification with minimal carbohydrate loss. Pretreatment was optimized using central composite design of response surface methodology (RSM), resulting in maximum 77% delignification (1.76-fold enhancement) at optimized process parameters: solid loading 15 g, H₂SO₄ concentration 300 mM and temperature 90 °C. Although RSM effectively establishes relationship between variables, its assumption of polynomial model may not perfectly capture complex nonlinear processes. Hence, to improve accuracy in predicting process parameters, artificial neural network (ANN) modeling of delignification process was performed, and results compared with RSM. Higher coefficient of determination (R² = 0.97) of trained ANN model indicated high accuracy over RSM (R² = 0.83). Furthermore, hold-out cross-validation and low testing Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE = 8.55) confirmed robust predictive accuracy of ANN model on unseen data. Pretreatment-induced changes in structural, morphological, thermal and crystalline properties of PMS were comprehensively evaluated using biophysical techniques. Enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated PMS resulted in maximum saccharification of ~ 67%, with a reducing sugar yield of ~ 75 mg/mL after 48 h. Ultimately, these findings demonstrate that integrating advanced pretreatment with machine learning-based optimization successfully enhances efficiency and predictability of PMS conversion.
