Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) are an underutilized biomass resource with high potential for renewable energy and bioproduct synthesis. This study applies hydrothermal liquefaction to transform SCGs into high-quality biofuels value-added biochemicals. Five experiments were conducted over a temperature range of 300 °C 380 °C, highlighting significant temperature-dependent shifts in product composition. Notably, phenolic compounds peaked at 1180.1 mg/L before declining sharply, while chemical oxygen demand (COD) dropped minimum 13,949.8 350 °C—a that also maximized hydrochar yield (26%) achieved heating value 32.9 MJ/kg. Plasma chromatographic analyses showed the dynamic behavior volatile fatty acids (VFAs) acid methyl esters (FAMEs); maximum levels acetic (540.7 mg/L), formic (67.8 propionic (155.6 mg/L) recorded whereas FAMEs such as butyrate, hexanoate, undecanoate, palmitate increased markedly higher temperatures due intensified carboxylation reactions. These results denote valorize production biomolecules, expanding conventional sustainable biofuel pathways.

This study presents a novel approach that integrates hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) technology with circular economy principles to optimize the management of nitrogen and phosphorus in agricultural wastewater. Given increasing global resource scarcity continuous ecological degradation, valorization biomass wastewater has become critical pathway for promotion sustainable development. Biomass wastewater, which contains crop residues, forestry leftovers, food processing byproducts, long been regarded as useless waste. However, this abundant organic matter possesses significant renewable energy potential. The can significantly reduce environmental pollution. Through optimization HTC process parameters, we achieved an improvement quality yield carbonized products, facilitating efficient recycling utilization resources. research demonstrates transform into valuable biofertilizers, energy, feed, while simultaneously reducing reliance on fossil fuels, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating impact activities. paper provides comprehensive exploration application ecosystems, highlighting its beneficial role management, efficiency, pollution reduction. findings suggest holds potential optimizing treatment, promoting recycling, advancing Furthermore, offers theoretical support practical guidance implementation is paramount importance fostering economic development achieving agriculture.
