Abstract Water pollution and the unsustainable use of fossil fuel derivatives require advanced catalytic methods to clean waters produce fine chemicals from modern biomass. Classical homogeneous catalysts such as sulfuric, phosphoric, hydrochloric acid are highly corrosive non-recyclable, whereas heterogeneous appear promising for lignocellulosic waste depolymerization, pollutant degradation, membrane antifouling. Here, we review sulfonated graphene oxide nanomaterials improving membranes, adsorption depolymerization waste, liquefaction biomass, production chemicals. We also discuss economy oil Sulfonated display an unusual large theoretical specific surface area 2630 m 2 /g, allowing reactants easily enter internal nanosheets reach active sites. is hydrophobic has hydrophilic groups, hydroxyl, carboxyl, epoxy, thus creating cavities on nanosheet’s surface.

As the global population continues to grow, so does demand for longer, healthier lives and environmentally responsible choices. Consumers are increasingly drawn naturally sourced products with proven health wellbeing benefits. The marine environment presents a promising yet underexplored resource cosmetics industry, offering bioactive compounds potential safe biocompatible ingredients. This manuscript provides comprehensive overview of organisms production, highlighting marine-derived their applications in skin/hair/oral-care products, cosmeceuticals more. It also lays down critical safety considerations addresses methodologies sourcing compounds, including harvesting, biorefinery concept, use systems biology enhanced product development, relevant regulatory landscape. review is enriched by three case studies: design macroalgal skincare Iceland, establishment microalgal spin-off Italy, utilization proteins cosmeceutical applications.

Microalgae cultivation on liquid digestate from the anaerobic co-digestion of agricultural feedstocks is an interesting option for nutrient removal and resource recovery coupled to biomass generation. Both reactors considered in such a biorefinery system involve complex bioprocesses. Although different pilot-scale systems coupling digestion algae-based bioremediation processes have been described, no previous attempts model entire are available date. In this work, plant-wide model, named ADAB (anaerobic algae-bacteria), presented, two well-established models (IWA – ADM1) (ALBA). The were modified with necessary equations extensions develop dedicated interface. Phosphorous dynamics integrated, including activity corrections precipitation processes. ALBA was also integrated thermal modelling simulate outdoor raceway ponds greenhouse-covered systems. Solid/liquid separation units pre-treatment included. prediction consistency adopted physicochemical sub-model (PCM) verified results both reference literature Visual MINTEQ. reduced complexity PCM limits field application, but it better computational performance seems be particularly suitable agro-zootechnical digesters. A scenario analysis co-digester design operating conditions carried out assess impacts microalgae cultivation. It highlighted importance proper yet noteworthy robustness performance. use can facilitate more realistic assessment technical, environmental, economic feasibility full-scale microalgal biorefineries based digestate.

The rising urban wastewater discharge into waterways resulted in harmful environmental effects. Microalgae can bioremediate wastewaters by removing contaminants such as nitrogen and phosphorus be rather tolerant to toxic compounds. Managing the anaerobic digestate resulting from sludge treatment plants faces some obstacles related its high contaminant content. This work aims study ability of microalga Chlorella vulgaris perform tertiary wastewater, assessing growth, nutrient removal effect addition at different concentrations this phase. A secondary effluent was supplied with 1% (M1), 5% (M5) 10% (M10) (v/v) used culture microalgae. An assay using only also performed (S). C. grew successfully all effluents except for M10, highest specific growth rate obtained M1 assay, 0.35 ± 0.01 d−1. Ammonium-nitrogen completely removed S, M5 assays (>99.9%). phosphate-phosphorus tested effluents, achieving a negligible concentration efficiency 96.2 0.2%, 51 2%, 43 3% respectively. These results showed that microalgal cultures could efficiently remediate mixture digestate, below current legislation limits more restrictive predicted future legislation.
