Integrated and closed‐loop biorefinery strategies for efficient waste valorization and biofuel production

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

Investigation of microalgal tolerance and growth in simulated tailings pond water containing naphthenic acids

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Oil sands tailings ponds, such as those in northeastern Alberta, present environmental challenges due to slow sedimentation, water entrapment, and toxic naphthenic acids (NAs), which hinder water reclamation. This study assessed the tolerance and biodegradation potential of Chlorella vulgaris (C.

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Biodegradability studies and contact phase trials towards a cleaner environment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process, developed in our previous study, is used for septic wastewater treatment. This high‐rate contact stabilization pre‐treatment uses typical waste streams found in wastewater treatment plants to reduce a portion of the loadings on the main treatment trains.

The Formation of Covalent Linkages in Lignocellulosic Biomass via the Oxocarbenium Intermediate

ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
Density functional theory models show that the hydrated and acidic hemicellulose matrix in lignocellulosic biomass can generate oxocarbenium ions. These reactive intermediates can participate in the stable formation of glycosidic lignin‐carbohydrate covalent linkages, promoting recalcitrance in plant biomass.

Moss diatoms show regional structuring, high potential endemism, and an inverse latitudinal diversity gradient in the Arctic

Ecography, EarlyView.
Microorganisms perform essential functions in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, their ecology and biogeography are poorly understood, despite being necessary to predict microbial responses to future climate change. Here, we provide the first large‐scale floristic and biogeographic study of the moss diatom flora in the tundra regions of the North ...
