Conversion of biomass waste to solid fuel via hydrothermal co-carbonization of distillers grains and sewage sludge

Jiamin Zhao et al.

Summary: The study showed that co-hydrochar produced from hydrothermal co-carbonization exhibited excellent synergistic characteristics in terms of hydrochar yield, higher heating value, organic and carbon retention rates. The co-hydrochar had a higher fuel ratio, increased coalification degree, improved combustion efficiency, and more stable flame. Therefore, the hydrothermal co-carbonization process may provide an effective approach for converting biomass wastes into clean biofuel with increased biofuel recovery rate and net energy gain.

An exploration of natural synergy using microalgae for the remediation of pharmaceuticals and xenobiotics in wastewater

Rahul Kumar Goswami et al.

Summary: Wastewater contains a wide range of hazardous pollutants, and conventional treatment methods are ineffective in removing them. Microalgae-based treatment systems show promise in partially treating pharmaceutical and xenobiotic wastewater. However, some antibiotics are toxic to microalgae at low concentrations. Advancements and optimization of microalgae treatment systems have improved removal efficiency, but it depends on the species and concentration of microalgae. This review highlights the potential of microalgae for removing pharmaceutical contaminants from wastewater and discusses the role of enzymes, microalgal EPS interaction, and toxicity of pharmaceutical contaminants. It also examines various factors affecting microalgae growth in wastewater treatment and critically analyzes advancements in microalgae-based treatment techniques.
