Sequential fractionation and polyoxometalate‐catalyzed oxidation of lignocellulosic biomass improves cellulose purity and formic acid yield

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Lignocellulosic biomass is an important source of renewable chemicals and materials but its full valorization is necessary in order to achieve economic and sustainability goals. This study proposes a two‐step approach for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass combining solvent‐assisted fractionation and catalytic oxidation with molecular

New solvents for extracting gallic acid from chestnut shells: deep eutectic solvents

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) shell, a byproduct of chestnut processing, is a valuable source of phenolic compounds that have a range of industrial applications. This study investigated the optimization of gallic acid extraction from the outer shell of the chestnut using ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE) and deep eutectic solvents (DES).

Potential of sugarcane bagasse as feedstock for biogas production in Nigeria

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The Nigerian government's interest in expanding the sugar sector has significantly increased sugarcane production, generating substantial bagasse by‐products without adequate waste management strategies. This study examined the potential of sugarcane bagasse as a biogas feedstock by integrating a socioeconomic survey of 120 sugarcane farmers ...

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 ...

Cocoa waste valorization: a review and sustainability analysis of green technologies

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Cocoa residues – notably cocoa pod husks and cocoa bean shells – can be valorized for biocompound recovery, bioenergy production, and waste reduction. This review analyzed 1115 publications related to this field to identify key research trends. Interest is increasing in compounds such as theobromine, bioactive substances, adsorption processes,

Integrating enzyme production and bioenergy recovery through circular bioprocessing of carbohydrate‐rich food wastes into α‐amylase, hydrogen and methane

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explored the valorization of two carbohydrate rich food wastes, a sugary (spoiled dates, SD) and a starchy (wasted rice, WR) one, for the biotechnological production of α‐amylase, biohydrogen (bioH2), and methane (CH4). Initially, the bioH2 and CH4 production potentials of raw SD and WR were assessed without any pretreatment, via ...
