The study was conducted with a lab-scale batch anaerobic digester using a 30 L working volume batch completely mixed reactor at 35 °C to investigate the monodigestion of leachate and of pineapple peel and their co-digestion with three different mixing ratios. The results of all of the experiments in the study were fitted with first-order kinetic models to compare the behavior of different batches through rate constants (k). As expected, the anaerobic digestion of 25 L leachate achieved a biogas yield of 38 L kg−1 volatile solids (VS)consumed and a VS removal efficiency of 30%, both markedly lower than those achieved with 3 kg VS pineapple peel per m3 in 25 L tap water (513 L kg−1 VSconsumed biogas yield and 80% VS removal efficiency). The leachate, which had a fixed volume of 25 L, was mixed with 1, 2, and 3 kg VS pineapple peel m−3. The results showed that co-digestion with 2 kg VS pineapple peel m−3 achieved the highest biogas yield of 431 L kg−1 VSconsumed and approximately 80% VS and 90% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency with stable conditions in the reactor. The first-order kinetics equation was selected to characterize the anaerobic digestion and was able to describe and compare the anaerobic digestion processes of the experiments. The rate constants (k) were 0.25, 0.22, and 0.18 day−1 for co-digestion with 1, 2, and 3 kg VS pineapple peel m−3.","PeriodicalId":55380,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels Bioproducts & Biorefining-Biofpr","volume":"19 1","pages":"174-188"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, xylose-rich hydrolysate was obtained through microwave-assisted high-pressure CO2/H2O hydrolysis, achieving a maximum xylose concentration of 14.58 ± 0.11 g L−1 and yield of 62.01 ± 0.92% (w w−1). Prior to the bioconversion process, the hydrolysate was detoxified using activated charcoal to remove inhibitory compounds such as hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural. Xylitol production from the detoxified hydrolysate was carried out biotechnologically using the yeast Candida tropicalis. A Box–Behnken design was implemented to investigate the effect of temperature, pH, and aeration rate on xylitol yield during bioconversion in bioreactor. The highest xylitol yield of 0.94 g g−1 was recorded at 72 h under optimized conditions of 34.5 °C, pH 4.5, and 1.2 vvm. Recovery and purification of xylitol from the fermentation medium was achieved using ethanol as an antisolvent. Xylitol was recovered with a yield of 68.4% from culture medium by crystallization. Based on the findings of this study, a sustainable and environmentally friendly process can be proposed for recovering and purifying xylitol from pistachio shell hydrolysate.","PeriodicalId":55380,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels Bioproducts & Biorefining-Biofpr","volume":"19 1","pages":"151-162"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bbb.2701","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143117855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synthesis conditions for this chemical modification were optimized such that CMC with a high degree of substitution (1.02) was obtained. Infrared spectra of the synthesized CMC clearly showed an increased intensity of the C═O bond at 1600 cm−1, confirming successful carboxymethylation. Further, X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated a decrease in cellulose crystallinity owing to partial rearrangement from a crystalline to an amorphous phase during initial alkalization reaction. The obtained CMC biopolymer was subsequently cross-linked to form a composite hydrogel matrix reinforced with bentonite clay. The hydrogel showed about 91% adsorption capacity for methylene blue dye as a model contaminant in aqueous media. Therefore, this study shows that lignocellulosic agrowaste is a rich source of cellulose, and its derivatives such as CMC possess the potential to realize the waste to wealth sustainability goal.","PeriodicalId":55380,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels Bioproducts & Biorefining-Biofpr","volume":"19 1","pages":"139-150"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143116074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface water systems, including rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds, have suffered contamination, leading to the urgent need for effective contaminant removal. Organic nitrogen compounds and nitrates are of particular concern because they pose risks to health and can cause environmental damage. However, traditional water-treatment methods often prove ineffective for addressing these issues. For this reason, this research focuses on harnessing the capabilities of nitrifying bacteria to denitrify organic nitrogen compounds in water, exploring various bacterial strains, their functions, and their ability to obtain sources of carbon. The study also investigates innovative approaches such as biofilm systems, mixed cultures, and combined processes, which have shown stronger potential for nitrogen removal. Overall, it provides valuable insights into the use of nitrifying bacteria-based technologies for water remediation in the face of growing environmental challenges.","PeriodicalId":55380,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels Bioproducts & Biorefining-Biofpr","volume":"19 1","pages":"250-259"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143114363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anaerobic digestion (AD) offers a promising renewable energy solution that mitigates environmental impacts. Algae, as biomass feedstock, have shown significant potential for bioenergy production; however, their complex chemical composition poses challenges to the efficiency of the AD process. To address these limitations, various pretreatment methods have been applied to enhance biogas production. In this study, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of different pretreatments on methane (CH₄) yields from both microalgae and macroalgae. Our results demonstrate that biological, physical, and combined chemical–physical pretreatments significantly improve CH₄ production in microalgae, with increases of up to 141%, 125%, and 151%, respectively. For macroalgae, physical pretreatments were the most effective, leading to a 129% increase in CH₄ yield. We also estimate that utilizing just 10% of the global algal biomass production (3.6 Mt) could generate over 5.5 TWh y−1 of energy. This potential could be doubled with the application of appropriate pretreatment strategies. These findings highlight the role of algae in advancing renewable energy production and contribute to the growing body of knowledge on optimizing AD processes for cleaner energy generation.","PeriodicalId":55380,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels Bioproducts & Biorefining-Biofpr","volume":"19 1","pages":"163-173"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bbb.2702","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143112002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing gaps in current research underscore the need for waste biorefineries that adhere to the principles of a circular bioeconomy to maximize the value of corn stover. This review uses bibliometric analysis from the past decade to examine the potential and pathways for converting corn stover into energy and value-added products within the biorefinery framework. The data were processed using the Web of Science® database and analyzed with the VosViewer® bibliometric software's, Bibliometrix package in R and Gephi, generating keyword-based maps. A total of 2557 experimental articles and 30 reviews on corn stover research were analyzed. The bibliometric study revealed that the primary research focuses on pretreatment technologies for converting corn stover into value-added products, bioenergy and biofuels. The main technologies employed include acid, alkaline and enzymatic hydrolysis, as well as torrefaction anaerobic digestion and steam explosion. The pretreatment processes yield sugars, xylooligosaccharides and organic acids. Additionally, the studies explored the use of corn stover biochar for soil remediation and adsorption processes. This review aims to enhance the understanding of technological pathways explored in previous research, contributing to the evaluation of sustainable processes for utilizing corn stover byproducts.

This paper explores using this type of waste to obtain beneficial antioxidants in various fields of study. It is imperative to delve into the problems associated with FVW, shedding light on the staggering amounts generated and the environmental and economic challenges of waste disposal. The biochemical composition of FVW reveals the diverse array of components present, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and of course antioxidants, which can be obtained through different extraction methods, depending on the conditions, the efficiency and the purpose that is required during the process of separation of these compounds from the organic matter. Antioxidants are compounds that can neutralize free radicals, which contributes to combating various conditions and diseases to promote and preserve human health. Several groups of antioxidants have been described, such as polyphenolic compounds in significant amounts in plant biomass as FVW. These antioxidants demonstrate benefits, efficacy and potential applications in industries like medicine, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and functional foods. The valorization of FVW as a source of antioxidants presents a promising avenue for sustainable waste management and the production of natural antioxidants. This approach contributes to environmental preservation and promotes circular economy principles by transforming waste into valuable resources. This paper provides valuable insights into the vast potential of FVW valorization for antioxidant production and its application across diverse industries.","PeriodicalId":55380,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels Bioproducts & Biorefining-Biofpr","volume":"19 1","pages":"231-249"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143119430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Delivered feedstock cost ranged from $85 Mg−1 at small (10 million gallons year−1 or ~38 million L year−1) scale with high yield and participation rates to $124 Mg−1 at large scale (60 million gallons year−1 or 227 million L year−1) and low yield and participation rates. The minimum ethanol selling price (MESP) was approximately twofold lower for the advanced case compared with the base case. The payback period was several times lower for the advanced case compared with the base case, with increasing disparity at smaller scales, and was highly sensitive to ethanol price supports. For both C-CBP and the conventional processing paradigm, MESP decreased with increasing scale, indicating that the cost penalty due to higher feedstock transport distances was more than outweighed by lower capital costs. However, the cost penalty for operation at small scale, expressed in $ gallon−1 ethanol, is lower for C-CBP than for the conventional paradigm by roughly twofold. Particularly for initial applications of C-CBP, we speculate that this cost penalty will likely be modest compared with the anticipated benefits of small-scale operation such as increased opportunity to use existing infrastructure, easier plant siting and supply chain establishment, and lower total investment required.","PeriodicalId":55380,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels Bioproducts & Biorefining-Biofpr","volume":"19 1","pages":"9-17"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bbb.2691","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
