Recent trends and economic significance of modified/functionalized biochars for remediation of environmental pollutants

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Jan. 2, 2024

The pollution of soil and aquatic systems by inorganic organic chemicals has become a global concern. Economical, eco-friendly, sustainable solutions are direly required to alleviate the deleterious effects these ensure human well-being environmental sustainability. In recent decades, biochar emerged as an efficient material encompassing huge potential decontaminate wide range pollutants from systems. However, application raw biochars for pollutant remediation is confronting major challenge not getting desired decontamination results due its specific properties. Thus, multiple functionalizing/modification techniques have been introduced alter physicochemical molecular attributes increase their efficacy in remediation. This review provides comprehensive overview latest advancements developing functionalized/modified via biological other physiochemical techniques. Related mechanisms further applications modified water discussed summarized. Furthermore, existing research gaps challenges discussed, well study needs suggested. work epitomizes scientific prospects complete understanding employing candidate polluted regenerative development.

Thermophilic bacteria and their thermozymes in composting processes: a review

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 10(1)

Published: Jan. 27, 2023

Abstract In this review, the composting process of organic waste is discussed through an in-depth exploring its thermophilic phase. It starts with highlight on thermodynamic evolution, which needs to be assessed when deciding use reactors for composting, also in context energy generation. The mediated by different types microorganisms, and bacteria that play key roles are evaluated. genera Bacillus Thermus considered, often described as main components microbiota compost. Due their adaptation processes, they candidates technological purposes. Subsequentially, focus moved thermostable enzymes can isolated from them succession during processes. Experimental examples enzyme-related literature reviewed, example investigating proteases ureases, found at beginning process. addition, cellulases, hemicellulases, lignin-modifying enzymes, esterases have been activities phase, giving great potential biotechnological industrial applications. Following, composition microbial community analyzed description approaches metagenomics. Despite it being a relatively new but fast-growing field within biology, intended priority analysis acquire knowledge genomes environmental microorganisms communities. Finally, space dedicated plant treats olive oil wastes LIFE TIRSAV PLUS project (LIFE05 ENV/IT/00845). Through two solutions, Dynamic Static Composting, provides high-quality compost effective, flexible economical Graphical

Retrieving back plastic wastes for conversion to value added petrochemicals: opportunities, challenges and outlooks

Applied Energy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 345, P. 121307 - 121307

Published: June 1, 2023

Plastic production and its unplanned management disposal, has been shown to pollute terrestrial, aquatic, atmospheric environments. Petroleum-derived plastics do not decompose tend persist in the surrounding environment for longer time. Plastics can be ingested accumulate into tissues of both terrestrial aquatic animals, which impede their growth development. Petrochemicals are primary feedstocks manufacture plastics. The plastic wastes retrieved back conversion value added petrochemicals including aromatic char, hydrogen, synthesis gas, bio-crude oil using various technologies thermochemical, catalytic chemolysis. This review focusses on technologies, opportunities, challenges outlooks retrieving petrochemicals. also explores technical approaches regard commercial feasibility, economic environmental sustainability. Further, this work provides a detailed discussion opportunities associated with recent thermochemical adopted waste fuels chemicals. recommends prospects future research improve processes cost-efficiency promising It is envisioned that would overcomes knowledge gaps further contribute emerging sustainable exploiting value-added products.
