Anaerobic digestion (AD) of lignocellulosic biomass is often constrained by biomass recalcitrance, limiting methane recovery. This study investigated whether low-temperature dilute-acid hydrothermal pretreatment could enhance methane production from...
The evaluation of biomass boilers using partial approaches limits system understanding, because energy, exergy, dynamic, and emergy analyses describe complementary, but not equivalent, dimensions of thermo-industrial performance. In response to this...
Wastewater from street food activities is a major pollution source. In this study, sewage sludge (SS) from a treatment plant in Thailand was converted into a porous adsorbent via NaOH activation and calcination (SS-B-C600), while SS-C600 was used as...
The shift to circular agrosystems necessitates using new ideas like sustainable biochar, which provides many eco-beneficial attributes like enhancing soil fertility, storing atmospheric carbon dioxide, and retaining soil moisture. However, there is s...
Banana (Musa acuminata), the second most cultivated fruit worldwide, generates approximately 220 tons of agricultural waste per hectare annually, with nearly 80% of the plant biomass remaining underutilised after harvest. Banana inflorescence, an und...
The mitigation of anthropogenic climate change caused by fossil fuel combustion is a critical global challenge that necessitates a transition to renewable energy systems. Bioethanol represents a major renewable fuel, but first-generation production r...
Accurate short-term forecasting of Limnospira platensis biomass is essential for optimizing experimental scheduling and cultivation strategies, yet small datasets and strong temporal autocorrelation pose significant challenges for model reliability....
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is an essential phytohormone that regulates several tropic responses in plants and serves as signaling molecule in plant–bacteria interactions. In this study, a high indolic-compound-producing actinobacterial strain,...
Bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) pruning residues, including leaves and small branches, were chemically characterized and subjected to polyol-based liquefaction to evaluate their valorization potential. Leaves exhibited higher ash and extractive contents...
Hakea sericea is one of the most aggressive invasive shrubs in Mediterranean ecosystems, producing large quantities of lignocellulosic residues during control operations. This study evaluates thermochemical liquefaction as a valorisation route for th...
Ilex guayusa Loes., an Amazonian holly cultivated by indigenous Kichwa communities, is valued for its caffeine-rich leaves (2.0–3.5% dry weight). However, industrial processing generates substantial by-products that remain undercharacterized an...
Fish-processing residues represent a significant environmental challenge due to their high moisture and nitrogen contents, which favor greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during degradation. This study evaluated how different waste management strategies a...
The examination presented herein aimed at developing a benign alkali-catalyzed organosolv treatment for efficacious recovery of antioxidant hydroxycinnamates from wheat straw (WS), which is a widespread agricultural residue, rich in lignocellulosic m...
The textile industry consumes a significant quantity of water and produces effluent containing water-soluble dyes and heavy metals such as Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), and Zinc (Zn), among others. Heavy metal contamination of...
The growing demand for sustainable, decentralized energy solutions has heightened interest in biomass-based technologies for rural applications. In Mexico, the expansion of oil palm cultivation in humid tropical regions has generated large quantities...
