Biofuel production, hydrogen production and water remediation by photocatalysis, biocatalysis and electrocatalysis

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 21(3), P. 1315 - 1379

Published: March 10, 2023

Abstract The energy crisis and environmental pollution have recently fostered research on efficient methods such as catalysis to produce biofuel clean water. Environmental refers green catalysts used breakdown pollutants or chemicals without generating undesirable by-products. For example, derived from waste inexpensive materials are promising for the circular economy. Here we review photocatalysis, biocatalysis, electrocatalysis, with focus catalyst synthesis, structure, applications. Common include biomass-derived materials, metal–organic frameworks, non-noble metals nanoparticles, nanocomposites enzymes. Structure characterization is done by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller isotherm, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction photoelectron spectroscopy. We found that water can be degraded an efficiency ranging 71.7 100%, notably heterogeneous Fenton catalysis. Photocatalysis produced dihydrogen (H 2 ) generation rate higher than 100 μmol h −1 . Dihydrogen yields ranged 27 88% methane cracking. Biodiesel production reached 48.6 99%.

Pathogenesis-Related Proteins (PRs) with Enzyme Activity Activating Plant Defense Responses

Plants, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(11), P. 2226 - 2226

Published: June 5, 2023

Throughout evolution, plants have developed a highly complex defense system against different threats, including phytopathogens. Plant depends on constitutive and induced factors combined as mechanisms. These mechanisms involve signaling network linking structural biochemical defense. Antimicrobial pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are examples of this mechanism, which can accumulate extra- intracellular space after infection. However, despite their name, some PR present at low levels even in healthy plant tissues. When they face pathogen, these PRs increase abundance, acting the first line Thus, play key role early events, reduce damage mortality caused by pathogens. In context, review will discuss response proteins, been identified PRs, with enzymatic action, enzymes, β-1,3 glucanase, chitinase, peroxidase ribonucleases. From technological perspective, we advances last decade applied to study important events higher

Fungi for Sustainable Pharmaceutical Remediation: Enzymatic Innovations, Challenges, and Applications—A Review

Processes, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(4), P. 1034 - 1034

Published: March 31, 2025

The extensive use of pharmaceuticals in human and veterinary medicine has led to their persistent environmental release, posing ecological public health risks. Major sources include manufacturing effluents, excretion, aquaculture, improper disposal, contributing bioaccumulation ecotoxicity. Mycoremediation is the fungal-mediated biodegradation pharmaceuticals, offers a promising sustainable approach mitigate pharmaceutical pollution. Studies have reported that certain fungal species, including Trametes versicolor Pleurotus ostreatus, can degrade up 90% contaminants, such as diclofenac, carbamazepine, ibuprofen, within days weeks, depending on conditions. Fungi produce range extracellular enzymes, laccases peroxidases, alongside intracellular enzymes like cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, which catalyze transformation complex compounds. These play an essential role modifying, detoxifying, mineralizing xenobiotics, thereby reducing persistence toxicity. effectiveness biotransformation influenced by factors substrate specificity, enzyme stability, Optimal degradation typically occurs at pH 4.5–6.0 temperatures 20–30 °C. Recent advancements engineering, immobilization techniques, bioreactor design improved catalytic efficiency process feasibility. However, scaling fungal-based remediation systems for large-scale applications remains challenge. Addressing these limitations with synthetic biology, metabolic other biotechnological innovations could further enhance enzymatic pharmaceuticals. This review highlights innovations, applications, challenges mycoremediation, emphasizing potential fungi transformative solution waste management.

Environmental Advances, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 8, P. 100220 - 100220

Published: April 1, 2022

The increased use of pesticides by major agricultural players has resulted in various environmental pollution and serious health risks. In Brazil, the pesticides, such as glyphosate, 2,4-D atrazine, constitute an important factor enabling high productivity, however, they make country one world's largest consumers pesticides. An interesting way to degrade these is bioremediation. Several conventional ex situ techniques have been successfully used remediate without releasing toxic compounds contemplating rapid bioremediation contaminated sites. Advanced remediation techniques, nanobioremediation, plasmid-mediated remediation, enzymes can facilitate evaluation prospect application large areas. However, each technique its own advantages limitations. practice, it necessary know polluted site, well characteristics, type strength pesticide molecules. This study reviews recent literature on methods Brazil atrazine compares with strategies worldwide. paper also discusses some steps that could be taken shift laboratory-scale broader practical application. Moreover, properly apply new public policies legislation are needed hold polluters accountable, interdisciplinary international collaborations.
