Biological Degradation of Spent Coffee Grounds by White Rot Fungi

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are an extensively generated byproduct of coffee production and consumption. This study demonstrates the ability of white rot fungi to degrade SCG, achieving more than 40% carbohydrate reduction and producing active lignocellulose‐degrading enzymes, highlighting a potential biological approach for the valorization of this ...

Concentrations of heavy metals in Eucalyptus and Pinus wood sawdust and smoke, Copperbelt province, Zambia

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2015
The bulk of exotic forest plantations and sawmills in Zambia are within the reach of air pollutants from mines on the Copperbelt province. Up to 60% of every cubic meter of the timber processed is waste, of which 0,12 m3 is sawdust.

Impact of Acid Dopants (HCl vs. H2SO4) on the Structure, Performance, and Reusability of Bio‐Based Luffa/Polyaniline Composites for Methylene Blue Adsorption

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
Evaluation of the impact of acidic dopants (HCl vs. H2SO4) on bio‐derived luffa/polyaniline composites for methylene blue adsorption. Sustainable and low‐cost Luffa cylindrica/polyaniline (LC/PAN) composite adsorbents were developed for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The effect of acid dopants (hydrochloric acid and sulfuric
