A novel treatment of biogas digestate waste for biochar production and its adsorption of methylene blue and malachite green in a binary system

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a novel treatment of biogas digestate to produce biochar at processing temperatures of 500–700 °C. The resulting biochar was applied for the simultaneous removal of methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) in a binary system.

Bioethanol production from fruit waste using a microbial co‐culture of Bacillus siamensis F2 and Candida albicans GP1

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the sustainable valorization of fruit waste (FW) for bioethanol production using a consolidated bioprocess (CBP) that combines fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis in a single step. A co‐culture of Bacillus siamensis F2 (a multienzyme producer) and Candida albicans GP1 (a fermentative yeast) was employed to maximize ...

Effects of aging, climatic, physical factors, and site on quality parameters of the bark of black wattle (Acacia mearnsii de Wild.)

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Black wattle (Acacia mearnsii De Wild.) is a key tree crop in South Africa, valued for its bark and timber, both of which contribute significantly to export revenue. Wattle bark harvesting begins with the rainy season in September and extends to May. During this time, harvested bark is transported to three processing facilities.

Closing the nutrient loop between urban and rural areas: a case study analyzing the technical potential of recycling fertilizers from urban biorefineries

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The world's population is expected to grow rapidly, with the vast majority of people living in urban areas. Closing nutrient loops is therefore increasingly important for food security and environmental stability. In Germany however, the current treatment of organic and green waste and sewage sludge (derived from wastewater) includes ...

Micronutrients and Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2005
The current high life expectancy is overshadowed by neurodegenerative illnesses that lead to dementia and dependence. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common of these conditions, and is considered to be a proteinopathy, with amyloid-β42 as a key factor, leading via a cascade of events to neurodegeneration.

Production of a nutrient enriched biochar: a techno‐economic feasibility analysis

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract A techno‐economic feasibility analysis was conducted for a biomass pyrolysis plant that utilized Eucalyptus to produce fertilizer‐enriched biochar. Key parameters – biomass throughput, fertilizer loading, and selling price – were optimized for financial viability using net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), return on ...
