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.
