The known process involves two steps, namely hydrolysis and hydrogenation. Thus, it requires two different catalytic materials or bifunctional catalysts. In this context, the present work reports a new catalytic approach based on the use of tandem catalysts, consisting of the combination of an acid solid catalyst (active for hydrolysis) and a supported metal catalyst (active for hydrogenation). Two different functionalized activated carbons and the resin Amberlyst 15 have been tested as solid acid catalysts, and Ru nanoparticles supported on the original activated carbon (SA) are the metal catalyst part of the tandem. All the tested tandem catalysts exhibited higher activity than the supported Ru catalyst did. The highest cellulose conversion and selectivity to sorbitol (70% and 86%, respectively) have been obtained over a novel tandem catalyst, which resulted from a physical mixture between a sulfuric acid modified SA carbon (SASu) and Ru loaded SA (Ru/SA), leading to a tandem catalyst (Ru/SA+SASu). This novel-designed tandem catalyst is reusable. Based on tandem catalysts with a solid-solid system combination, the adopted novel-designed catalytic approach is cost-efficient and sustainable, and can be considered promising for the green production of high-added-value chemicals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts","volume":"9 4","pages":"Pages 508-517"},"PeriodicalIF":20.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142530027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, a two-stage bioaugmentation (TBA) process was devised, leveraging the benefits of ensiling and SSF. During the anaerobic ensiling phase, CKK waste was inoculated with <em>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</em> LP1, effectively suppressing potential animal pathogens such as <em>Aspergillus</em> and <em>Nocardiopsis</em> while enriching the material with potential probiotics like <em>Pediococcus</em> and <em>Lactiplantibacillus</em>, reaching an abundance of 95.7%.

Comprehensive multi-omics analysis identified <em>Irpex</em> as the key taxon, possessing an extensive redox enzyme system that led to the improvement in nutrient composition, reduction of astringent phenolic substances, and mitigation of mycotoxins. As a result, the crude protein content of the CKK increased by 39.2%, while lignin, total phenolic substances, and tannic acid content decreased by 24.4%, 52.2%, and 51.4%, respectively.

A novel multi-frequency, multimode, modulated ultrasonic drying technology was developed for CNC drying to improve product quality, reduce energy consumption, and increase production rate. CNCs dried with different drying technologies were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and redispersibility to measure the quality and property changes. Under the same temperature and airflow rate, ultrasonic drying enhanced drying rates, resulting in at least a 50% reduction in drying time compared to hot air drying. The mean particle sizes of CNC from ultrasonic drying changed little with settling time, indicating good redispersibility. In addition, ultrasonic dried CNCs exhibited good stability in aqueous solutions, with the zeta potentials ranging from –35 to –65 mV. Specific energy consumption and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of various CNC drying technologies were evaluated.
