The model showed a good fit with an average <em>R</em>² = 0.90 in all cases adjusted with 25 kinetic parameters. This was the first model capable of predicting algal and bacterial growth in AD effluent with their competitive interactions, assuming shifting growth modes of algae on organic and inorganic carbon under light. It could also predict the removal rate of substrate and nutrients from effluent, light inhibition due to biomass shading and effluent turbidity, mass transfer rate of O₂ and CO₂ from gas phase to liquid phase, and pH-driven equilibrium between dissolved inorganic carbon components (CO₂, HCO₃^–, and CO₃^2–). Algal growth in the strongly buffered AD effluent resulted in odor removal, turbidity reduction, and the removal of ∼80% of total ammonium-nitrogen and 90% of organic carbon. In addition to process parameter prediction, this study offered a practical solution to wastewater treatment, air pollution, and nutrient recycling, ensuring a holistic and practical approach to ecological balance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts","volume":"10 1","pages":"Pages 32-50"},"PeriodicalIF":20.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159874","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}

However, one of the bottlenecks for its commercial production is the drying process. Because of the low CNC concentrations in suspension after isolation, CNC drying requires the removal of a large amount of water to obtain dry products for the following utilization and saving shipping costs. 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 CO₂ emissions of various CNC drying technologies were evaluated. Energy consumption of ultrasonic drying is significantly reduced compared to other drying technologies. Moreover, the potential CO₂ emissions of the fully electrified ultrasonic drying could be net zero if renewable electricity is used.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts","volume":"9 4","pages":"Pages 465-485"},"PeriodicalIF":20.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141702649","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}

A wide variety of solvents: subcritical water (SCW), supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO₂), bio-based solvents (alcohols and terpenes), and liquefied dimethyl ether (LDME), were initially assessed for rice bran oil (RBO) and <em>γ</em>-oryzanol solubility using Hansen solubility spheres.

Optimal conditions for LDME extraction were identified as 30 °C with a solvent-to-sample ratio of 10 mL/g and an extraction time of 10 min. Oils extracted with LDME and hexane displayed similar fatty acid compositions and no adverse effects on RB protein and carbohydrate structures after LDME extraction were observed.

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).
