Preparation of Mesoporous Boron-Doped Porous Carbon Derived from Coffee Grounds via Hybrid Activation for Carbon Capture and Storage

Batteries, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(4), P. 158 - 158

Published: April 17, 2025

The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere necessitates development efficient capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Among these, adsorption-based methods using porous (PC) have attracted considerable attention due to their low energy requirements cost-effectiveness. Biomass waste-derived is particularly attractive as a sustainable alternative, offering environmental benefits high-value applications with costs. In this study, coffee grounds (CGs) were selected precursor abundance cost-effectiveness compared other biomass wastes. To improve pore characteristics CG-derived (CCG), boric acid treatment was applied during carbonization followed by steam activation prepare boron-doped (B-PCG). N2/77K adsorption–desorption isotherms revealed significant increase specific surface area total volume B-PCG from 1590 m2/g 0.71 cm3/g 2060 1.01 cm3/g, respectively, PCG. Furthermore, high pressure CO2 adsorption analysis at 298 K up 50 bar showed an approximately 50% improvement capacity for These results suggest that boron doping effective strategy optimize structure performance biomass-derived materials CCS application.

Biomass-Based Microbial Protein Production: A Review of Processing and Properties

Frontiers in Bioscience-Elite, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(4)

Published: Dec. 25, 2024

A rise in population and societal changes have increased pressure on resources required to meet the growing demand for food changing dietary preferences. The increasing animal protein is concerning raises questions regarding sustainability due its environmental impact. Subsequently, scientists seek alternative proteins, such as microbial proteins (MPs), an environmentally friendly choice. production of MPs promotes benefits, including reducing deforestation CO2 emissions. Several microorganism types, bacteria, yeast, fungi, algae, use a variety substrates MP production, from agricultural residues lignocellulosic biomass. These complex substrates, biomass, are converted fermentable sugar through either chemical, physical, or biological methods. Indeed, fermentation can occur submerged cultures other However, this depends substrate microorganisms being utilized. properties that make them versatile useful ingredients various applications. Using biomass raw materials producing offers sustainability, cost-effectiveness, waste reduction advantages. consistent with principles established by green chemistry, which aims conserve effectively operate sustainably all areas. This review highlights importance studying manufacturing aspects characteristics associated MPs, be implemented solve problems encourage novel methods global food/feed industry.
