Phosphorus is an essential and finite resource critical for global food production, yet its inefficient use and discharge from wastewater systems contribute to eutrophication and resource depletion. The transition from conventional wastewater treatme...
Indonesia, particularly Central Java, generates substantial amounts of agricultural biomass residues, including melinjo shells, tobacco stalks, and cacao shells, which remain underutilized for energy applications. This study addresses the limited sci...
This study evaluated the sustainability of removing phenolic compounds from olive mill effluents using a nanobiochar synthesized from olive pomace. Catechol, tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, and homovanillic alcohol were chosen as model pollutants due to the...
Consolidated Bioprocessing (CBP) is a promising technology that integrates enzyme production, biomass hydrolysis, and sugars fermentation. However, CBP is underexplored from a process engineering point of view. Considering that cell recycling can inc...
Utilizing lignin from agricultural wastes as a partial replacement for asphalt binder used in pavement presents a sustainable option, as it is abundant in nature. The effects of the addition of lignin on the properties and performance of asphalt bind...
Rapid population growth is intensifying global energy demand and waste generation. Slaughterhouse waste is creating important environmental problems. Transforming this into renewable energy through technologies like anaerobic digestion offers a susta...
The integration of microalgal cultivation with wastewater streams offers a promising pathway to enhance resource efficiency within circular bioeconomy frameworks. However, the suitability of clarified aquaponics sedimentation effluent for producing c...
The transition towards a circular bioeconomy in developing regions is frequently hindered by operational failures caused by feedstock discontinuity. Whilst biochemical potential is traditionally the primary selection criterion, this study postulates...
The growing global demand for sustainable energy has intensified interest in biomass residues as viable feedstocks for biofuels and bio-based production. This review systematically examines advances in the utilization of biomass residues, spanning up...
This paper builds a one-dimensional transient numerical model of mixed fuel of woody and non-woody biomass to simulate the multistage conversion process of biomass in a moving grate-fired bed, including drying, pyrolysis, gasification, and char combu...
Waste is increasingly recognized as misplaced biomass, underscoring its potential for reintegration into sustainable environmental management strategies. Biomass pyrolysis has emerged as a promising value-adding process capable of enhancing material...
In laboratory installations, wastewater from the distillery industry (ethanol stillage and vinasse) is treated via a two-stage combination of microbial sulfate reduction (MSR) and biomethanation, assisted by bioelectrochemical systems (BESs). In the...
Cellulases catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose and can be produced through fermentation processes, such as sequential fermentation (SeqF), which combines submerged and solid-state fermentation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the product...
The transition towards circular economy is now a key strategy to address the environmental issues we are facing. Within this framework, biochar, a carbon-rich material derived from residual agricultural pyrolysis, can represent a sustainable and circ...
The sustainable processing of coffee requires not only improving the efficiency of conventional operations but also advancing the recovery and valorization of bioactive compounds across the coffee value chain. In this context, emerging technologies o...
