Anaerobic digestion of olive oil industry waste with a jacketed reactor heated by an autothermal process

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract A comprehensive valorization of waste generated from the olive oil manufacturing industry and olive grove pruning was conducted. Anaerobic digestion of the sludge waste from the olive industry was performed in stirred tank reactors under mesophilic conditions to remove volatile solids and to generate biogas.

Antibacterial hydrogel: The sniper of chronic wounds

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The treatment of chronic wounds has always been an important challenge in the medical field. We focus on hydrogels not only because they provide a moist healing environment but also because compared with traditional dressings, they can effectively prevent and treat infections, reduce wound pain and scar formation.

Review of recent advances in the design, synthesis, and modification of biochar for remediation of heavy metal pollution in water

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Research frontiers in using biochar for heavy metal remediation. Abstract Heavy metal contamination of water has long been a serious environmental issue. Biochar and biochar‐based composites are emerging as effective and sustainable solutions for heavy metal removal due to their strong adsorption abilities and environmentally friendly nature.

Corn cob pyrolysis: A systematic literature review of methods and applications

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Mapping the research landscape of corn cob pyrolysis. Abstractas The agricultural sector is experiencing a surge in waste generation due to population growth, creating an urgent need to convert byproducts into value‐added products. Maize (Zea mays L.), a leading global crop, produces significant byproducts, such as corn cob, which are often undervalued.

Enhancement of the Plant‐Accessible Phosphate Fraction in Sewage Sludge Ashes by Na+ or K+ Addition Prior to Combustion

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...

Influence of environment and mineralogy on euendolithic microboring patterns

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Field experiments at Little Ambergris Cay reveal that euendolithic microorganisms preferentially bore carbonate substrates based on mineralogy, sea water saturation and trace metal content. Results highlight night‐time dissolution activity and mineralogical preferences, shedding light on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of bioerosion and their ...

Seascape configuration determines spatial patterns of seabird‐vectored nutrient enrichment to coral reefs

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Pelagic‐feeding seabirds deliver nutrient subsidies that enhance the productivity, biodiversity, and resilience of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, particularly in nutrient‐poor tropical environments. However, the biogeophysical variables governing the fluxes of these nutrients within and among interconnected ecosystems remain poorly understood.
