Biomass, Volume 5, Issue 3

Biomass energy transforms waste into biofuels and supports water purification. This study examines enhanced hydrogen production via dark fermentation, tracking volatile fatty acids (VFAs), chemical oxygen demand (COD), carbohydrates, and hydraulic re...

There is an increasing industrial demand for sustainable resources for lipid-based biofuels and platform chemical production. A promising, CO2-efficient resource is autotrophically cultivated microalgae, either for direct single-cell oil (SCO) produc...

Spent coffee grounds (SCGs), a globally abundant by-product of the coffee industry, represent a significant source of lignocellulosic biomass with considerable valorization potential. Rich in organic compounds, lipids, and antioxidants, SCGs are incr...

Biomass pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that breaks down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, offering a sustainable route for converting biomass into bio-oil, biochar, and syngas. This review provides a comprehensive overview of pyrolysis,...

The coffee cherry processing produces various waste products, such as coffee husks, which are a valuable source of pectin and phenolic acids that can be used as high-value biomolecules in human and animal food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical productio...

Porous carbon from renewable resources like biomass is a key material utilized in many applications ranging from environmental remediation to energy storage. There are limited reports in the literature on the effects of biomass pretreatment, producti...

Corn residues are an abundant and low-cost lignocellulosic feedstock that provides a renewable carbon platform for the production of biofuels, bioplastics, and high-value aromatic volatile compounds (AVCs). Isoamyl alcohol, an important AVC, has appl...

Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is a phenol-rich effluent with high organic load, posing significant environmental disposal challenges in the Mediterranean countries. This study evaluated the bioremediation and valorization potential of OMW by eleven edi...

The brewing industry generates vast amounts of by-products of biotic and abiotic nature that require proper handling to reduce their environmental footprint annually. Simultaneously, and in alignment with the current circular economy dynamics, there...

Every year, a substantial amount of food is discarded globally. A significant portion of this waste is composed of fruit by-products or fruits that do not meet consumer standards. Apples rank as the third most extensively produced fruit crop globally...
