Sequential degradations of Dananhu lignites by Nocardia mangyaensis and Bacillus licheniformis

Chen Shi et al.

Summary: This paper investigated the sequential degradation of Dananhu lignite by two bacterial species, N. mangyaensis and B. licheniformis. The results showed that the most effective way for degradation was to use N. mangyaensis first and then B. licheniformis. The compositions and structures of the bioproducts generated by the two ways were analyzed, revealing that N. mangyaensis mainly degraded the side chains, while B. licheniformis attacked the aromatic skeletons.

Characterization of two novel strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on biodegradation of crude oil and its enzyme activities

Balakrishnan Muthukumar et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that two biosurfactant-producing bacterial strains, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PP3 and PP4, were able to degrade crude oil under different pH conditions. Higher biodegradation efficiency was observed in acidic conditions for PP3, while PP4 showed better performance in neutral conditions. GCMS analysis and FTIR spectra results confirmed the ability of both strains to survive and utilize crude oil hydrocarbons under acidic conditions.

Plant-derived saponin enhances biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the rhizosphere of native wild plants

Son A. Hoang et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of natural saponins and synthetic surfactants on the removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in the rhizosphere of wild plants. The results showed that saponin application significantly enhanced plant growth and rhizosphere microbial activity, leading to effective TPH removal. In contrast, synthetic surfactants hindered plant growth and microbial activity, resulting in poor TPH removal.

Effect of NaNO2 Reductant Pretreatment on Low-Rank Coal Flotation

Chongyi Yang et al.

Summary: As the reserves of high-quality coal resources in China are decreasing, it is important to improve the processing and utilization of low-rank coal. In this study, NaNO2 was used for flotation pretreatment of low-rank coal, and the mechanism was investigated. The results showed that the NaNO2 pretreatment improved the flotation efficiency and increased the combustible recovery.

Constraints of biomethane generation yield and carbon isotope fractionation effect in the pathway of acetotrophic with different coal-rank coals

Yuan Bao et al.

Summary: The study found that different ranks of coal can be degraded by microorganisms to produce biomethane, with biomethane production being mainly influenced by maceral content. The generation processes of methane and carbon dioxide exhibit three-phase characteristics, and the carbon isotope composition of biodegraded coal is lighter than that of raw coal.

Hydrothermal synthesis of blue-green emitting carbon dots based on the liquid products of biodegradation of coal

Jiao Zhang et al.

Summary: A simple and low-cost method was described for preparing carbon dots (CDs) from the biodegradation liquid products of coal (LPBC) through hydrothermal treatment. The synthesized CDs exhibited strong fluorescence intensity, narrow size distribution, and stability, showing great promise in sensor applications. The fluorescence intensity of the CDs was sensitive to pH value and temperature, further enhancing their potential for sensing applications.

Characterization of humic acids produced from fungal liquefaction of low-grade Thar coal

Madiha Javeed Ghani et al.

Summary: The study focused on isolating fungal strains from Pakistani Thar lignite for humic acid extraction, with isolates M13 and MI showing the highest lignite solubilization capacity. The extracted humic acid had higher nitrogen and oxygen content and lower carbon and sulfur content compared to chemically extracted humic acid. UV/Vis spectroscopy and FTIR analysis confirmed the bioactivity and reduced molecular mass of the bio-extracted humic acid compared to chemically extracted humic acid.
