Integrated biorefinery processes for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to value added materials: Paving a path towards circular economy

G. Velvizhi et al.

Summary: Lignocellulosic biomass serves as an effective and sustainable alternative for producing biofuels and bio-based products, but its degradation poses a significant challenge. Integrating multiple unit processes is essential to produce a wider range of bio-based products, which can enhance yield, reduce reaction time, and lower costs. Process integration can lead to various outcomes that guide towards the development of circular economy.

Recovering phosphorous from biogas fermentation residues indicates promising economic results

Josef Marousek et al.

Summary: The economics of producing energy-valuable gases through fermenting phytomass is threatened by the costs associated with waste management of highly diluted fermentation residues. The traditional practice of using the solid fraction of the residues for energy purposes leads to nutrient loss and farmers have realized that the organic matter in the residues has little agronomic value. For the first time, it is proposed to activate the charred residues and use the resulting sorbent to capture phosphorus from the liquid fraction, showing promising results for plant nutrition and soil improvement.

Comparative life cycle assessment of enhanced anaerobic digestion of agro-industrial waste for biogas production

Samson Nnaemeka Ugwu et al.

Summary: This study conducted a comparative assessment of the potential environmental impacts of biogas production from enhanced anaerobic digestion using different enhancement options for agro-industrial wastes. The results revealed that the combined enhancement option (co-digestion + PPy/Fe3O4 NPs) had the least global warming potential.

Impacts of conductive materials on microbial community during syntrophic propionate oxidization for biomethane recovery

Bing Guo et al.

Summary: DIET can enhance syntrophic propionate oxidization efficiency under room temperature conditions (20 degrees C). The microbial communities in GAC- and magnetite-supplemented reactors were similar, but different from the control reactor. Co-occurrence network revealed the syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacteria and methanogenesis partners, such as Methanobacterium correlated with Smithella, Syntrophobacter, Dechloromonas, and Trichococcus.

Effects of silver nanoparticles on performance of anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge and associated microbial communities

Anna Grosser et al.

Summary: The form of silver significantly affected the methane yield and the proportion of hydrogen sulphide in the biogas during anaerobic digestion, while the addition of nanoparticles had a positive effect on the kinetic parameters, leading to a higher maximum rate of methane production. The microbial communities in reactors with silver nanoparticles showed significant differences compared to other reactors, with a notable increase in the Methanosarcina genus.
