- Fast growth of bamboo species make them a suitable candidate for eco-restoration, while its lignocellulosic substrate could be used for production of high-value green products such as biofuels, chemicals, and biomaterials. Within these frameworks, this review comprehensively explored the thermochemical and biological conversion of bamboo biomass to value-added fuels and chemicals. Additionally, this review stretches an in-depth understanding of bamboo biomass lignin extraction technologies and bioengineered methodologies, as well as their biorefinery conversion strategies. Additionally, bamboo biomass often utilized in biorefineries are mostly constituted of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, along with proteins, lipids, and a few micronutrients which are not utilized efficientely by current bioengineered techniques. The results indicates that the potential for producing high-value products from bamboo biomass has not been adequately explored. However, enormous potential is still available to make bamboo biorefinery technologies cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable, which are discussed in the current review comprehensively. Furthermore, processes such as pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation are essential to obtain final high-value bio-based products from bamboo biomass, therefore, this review critically designed to explore the current state of the art of these technologies. Overall, the current review establishes a zero-waste suastainable approachs for the reformation of bamboo biomass into chemicals, biofuels, and value-added products.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The alteration of microbial dynamics and their divergence were evaluated in bristles containing pig manure (PM) compost with different concentrations of coconut shell biochar [0% (T1), 2.5% (T2), 5.0% (T3), 7.5% (T4) and 10% (T5)] amendment. The results revealed that the CB amendment significantly increased the keratin degradation efficiency and bacterial diversity during composting. The richest bacterial diversity and the highest keratin reduction of 39.1% were observed in the PM compost with a 7.5% CB amendment. The most abundant phyla were Firmicutes and Actinobacteria (which accounted for 87.91% and 12.09%, respectively), and the superior genera were Bacilli and Clostridia (which accounted for 23.52% and 61.17%, respectively). In addition, a dimensionality analysis from principal coordinate’s analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling showed that the bacterial community had a significant divergence among the different dosages of CB. Furthermore, the correlation found in a canonical correspondence analysis illustrated that the physio-chemical environmental factors were more relevant for the bacterial community within the CB in the compost than in that in the control sample. Overall, the application of biochar for composting altered the typical selectivity for functional bacteria and further influenced the organic waste biotransformation during bristle-containing PM composting.

- Total livestock emissions account for up to 14.5% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions. Counteractive measures, such as circular economy concepts and negative emission technologies are necessary to limit global warming below 1.5 °C. Possible treatment options for organic manure include anaerobic digestion, combustion, gasification, hydrothermal liquefaction and composting. The choice of treatment varies depending on the economics, the requirement of a specific product, and sociocultural factors. Commercialization of these treatments needs a blend of appropriate technology, feasible economics, policy support and agreeable socio-cultural conditions. Key findings of this study include the following: 1. Increasing scientific awareness about manure management and treatment; 2. Building a sustainable cooperative model to commercialize technologies; 3. Creating a market for manure recycling products; 4. The role of policy in supporting technologies and consumers; and 5. The codigestion of substrates for better efficacy. Current trends show minimal actions in place as opposed to the high-rate of acceleration that is necessary.

Advanced approaches for resource recovery from wastewater and activated sludge: A review
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Bioresource Technology. - 0960-8524 .- 1873-2976. ; 384
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Due to resource scarcity, current industrial systems are switching from waste treatment, such as wastewater treatment and biomass, to resource recovery (RR). Biofuels, manure, pesticides, organic acids, and other bioproducts with a great market value can be produced from wastewater and activated sludge (AS). This will not only help in the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy, but also contribute to sustainable development. However, the cost of recovering resources from wastewater and AS to produce value-added products is quite high as compared to conventional treatment methods. In addition, most antioxidant technologies remain at the laboratory scale that have not yet reached the level at industrial scale. In order to promote the innovation of resource recovery technology, the various methods of treating wastewater and AS to produce biofuels, nutrients and energy are reviewed, including biochemistry, thermochemistry and chemical stabilization. The limitations of wastewater and AS treatment methods are prospected from biochemical characteristics, economic and environmental factors. The biofuels derived from third generation feedstocks, such as wastewater are more sustainable. Microalgal biomass are being used to produce biodiesel, bioethanol, biohydrogen, biogas, biooils, bioplastics, biofertilizers, biochar and biopesticides. New technologies and policies can promote a circular economy based on biological materials.

- The effects of chicken manure biochar (CMB) and chicken manure integrated microbial consortium (CMMC) as co-amendments were assessed on compost maturity and reduction of greenhouse gases and ammonia (NH3) emissions during chicken manure composting. Composting was conducted using six combinations of CMB and CMCC (0 % CMB + 0 % CMMC, 0 % CMB + 10 % CMMC, 2 % CMB + 10 % CMMC, 4 % CMB + 10 % CMMC, 6 % CMB + 10 % CMMC, 10 % CMB + 10 % CMMC added on a dry weight basis) in six polyvinyl chloride composting reactors for 42 days under an aerobic environment. Co-amendment of CMB and CMMC extended the thermophilic stage and promoted compost maturity. The release of greenhouse gases [nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4)] and NH3 from treatments co-amended by CMB and CMMC were reduced by 19.0-27.4 %, 9.3-55.9 % and 24.2-56.9 %, respectively, compared with the control. In addition, a redundancy analysis showed that the C/N ratio and temperature had a significant relationship with greenhouse gases and NH3 emissions among all physiochemical characteristics.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Micro-and nano-plastics (MNPs) (size < 5 mm/<100 nm) epitomize one of the emergent environmental pollutants with its existence all around the globe. Their high persistence nature and release of chemicals/additives used in synthesis of plastics materials may pose cascading impacts on living organism across the globe. Natural connectivity of all the environmental compartments (terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric) leads to migration/dispersion of MNPs from one compartment to others. Nevertheless, the information on dispersion of MNPs across the environmental compartments and its possible impacts on living organisms are still missing. This review first acquaints with dispersion mechanisms of MNPs in the environment, its polymeric/oligomeric and chemical constituents and then emphasized its impacts on living organism. Based on the existing knowledge about the MNPs’ constituent and its potential impacts on the viability, development, lifecycle, movements, and fertility of living organism via several potential mechanisms, such as irritation, oxidative damage, digestion impairment, tissue deposition, change in gut microbial communities’ dynamics, impaired fatty acid metabolism, and molecular damage are emphasized. Finally, at the end, the review provided the challenges associated with remediation of plastics pollutions and desirable strategies, policies required along with substantial gaps in MNPs research were recommended for future studies.

Sustainable Conversion of Biowaste to Energy to Tackle the Emerging Pollutants: A Review
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Current Pollution Reports. - : Springer. - 2198-6592.
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Biowaste is a major source of organic material that can be converted into energy through various processes such as anaerobic digestion, composting, and pyrolysis. However, emerging pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, herbicides, and personal and household products, are a growing concern in wastewater treatment that can be effectively removed by biowaste-to-energy processes. While these contaminants pose significant challenges, the development and implementation of effective monitoring programs and risk assessment tools help to mitigate their impact on human health and the environment. Likewise, monitoring programs, challenges, legislations, and risk assessment tools are essential for understanding and managing the risks associated with emerging pollutants. Biowaste recycling is an important aspect of a biocircular economy perspective as it involves the conversion of organic waste into valuable resources that can be reused sustainably. The review discusses the modern approaches that offer several advantages, including reducing the waste disposal and generating renewable energy while addressing emerging wastewater treatment pollutants. To achieve the goal of a circular economy, modern biotechnological approaches including anaerobic digestion, composting, bioleaching, bioremediation, and microbial fuel cells offer a sustainable and effective way to convert waste into valuable products. These bioproducts alongside energy generation using waste-to-energy technologies can provide economic benefits through revenue generation, reduced waste disposal costs, and improved resource efficiency. To achieve a biocircular economy for biowaste valorization, several stakeholders, including waste collectors, waste management companies, policymakers, and consumers need to be involved. The sustainable conversion of biowaste to energy is an essential and instrumental technology in environmental sustainability.

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study evaluates the effectiveness of different types of biochar additives and bacterial inoculation on gaseous emission, nutrient preservation, and relevant functional bacterial community during cow manure composting. The result revealed that biochar and bacterial consortium inoculation effectively inhibited gaseous emission and improved carbon and nitrogen sequestration, remarkably enriching the abundance of the functional bacteria community. Notably, superior efficacy was found in 12% wheat straw biochar and bacterial consortium amendment composting of T6 with the lowest cumulative CO2-C and NH3-N (308.02 g and 12.71 g, respectively), minimal total C and N losses, and the highest bacterial population. Additionally, gaseous emission exhibited a strong correlation between physicochemical properties with intersection of 66.78% and a unique substrate utilizing bacterial communities. Consequently, the integrated application of biochar and bacterial consortium inoculation was suggested as an efficient method to adjust microbial activity and facilitate cellulose-rich waste degradation, enabling efficient management of organic waste from cow manure and wheat straw by composting.

- The effects of bamboo biochar (BB) variables on gaseous emissions, maturity and microbial dynamics during composting of sheep manure were investigated. The experiments were conducted with six different ratio of BB (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% dry weight based) and 0% is compiled as control. The results showed that 10%BB provided rapid mineralization and less time duration of compost maturity. 10% BB has the excellent impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and nutrients conservation (nitrogen and carbon losses were 13.40 g/kg and 124.42 g/kg) as compared to other treatments. Control was significantly different from other treatments in terms of GHG emission and nitrogen loss and had the lowest germination index after 42 days composting. BB addition were the main factors influencing GHG emission and improve the bacterial abundance. There is a significant correlation among the analyzed physicochemical factors, gaseous emission and bacterial phylum is used 8-10% BB for SM composting. Higher percentages of BB not only reduced CH4 and N2O emissions but also showed significant influence on CO2 and NH3 losses as well as improve the end product quality. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The influence of pig manure biochar amendment (PMBA) during the pig manure (PM) and wheat straw (WS) composting was evaluated. Five concentration of PMBA (0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and10%) were applied to explore the bacterial distributions in PM compost by 16SDNA amplicons sequencing. The results showed that the addition of 6% PMBA could significantly enhanced the bacterial community abundance compared with other composts, while control has relative less bacterial population (332 OTU). The visualization of phylogenetic tree and krona demonstrated the distinctive distribution of each composts, suggested that biochar dosages have an influence on bacterial communities’ variation during co-composting. Beta-diversity of distance matrix heat-map and principal component analysis confirmed that bacterial communities were considerably correlated with increasing PMBA. Redundancy also confirmed the similarity and discrepancy among all treatments and environmental factors. This work considered as the potential of PMBA as a booster in composting, where T4 has most plentiful bacterial community and diversity.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Filamentous fungi serve as potential candidates in the production of different value-added products. In the context of food, there are several advantages of using filamentous fungi for food. Among the main advantages is that the fungal biomass used food not only meets basic nutritional requirements but that it is also rich in protein, low in fat, and free of cholesterol. This speaks to the potential of filamentous fungi in the production of food that can substitute animal-derived protein sources such as meat. Moreover, life-cycle analyses and techno-economic analyses reveal that fungal proteins perform better than animal-derived proteins in terms of land use efficiency as well as global warming. The present article provides an overview of the potential of filamentous fungi as a source of food and food supplements. The commercialization potential as well as social, legal and safety issues of fungi-based food products are discussed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study, the influence of coconut shell biochar addition (CSB) on heavy metals (Cu and Zn) resistance bacterial fate and there correlation with physicochemical parameters were evaluated during poultry manure composting. High-throughput sequencing was carried out on five treatments, namely T1−T5, where T2 to T5 were supplemented with 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% CSB, while T1 was used as control for the comparison. The results of HMRB indicated that the relative abundance of major potential bacterial host altered were Firmicutes (52.88–14.32%), Actinobacteria (35.20–4.99%), Bacteroidetes (0.05–15.07%) and Proteobacteria (0.01–20.28%) with elevated biochar concentration (0%−10%). Beta and alpha diversity as well as network analysis illustrated composting micro-environmental ecology with exogenous additive biochar to remarkably affect the dominant resistant bacterial community distribution by adjusting the interacting between driving environmental parameters with potential host bacterial in composting. Ultimately, the amendment of 7.5% CSB into poultry manure composting was able to significantly reduce the HMRB abundance, improve the composting efficiency and end product quality.

- In this study, we investigated the influence of coconut shell biochar (CSB) on heavy metal resistance fungi (HMRF) during poultry manure (PM) composting by 18 S rDNA Internal Transcribed Spacer Amplicon Sequencing analysis. Five different concentrations of CSB (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% dry weights basis) were applied with a mixture of PM and wheat straw (5:1 ratio dry weight basis) and without CSB (CK) was used as control. The results showed that sequence number rose along with increasing CSB concentration but total relative abundance (RA) of HMRF decreased 56.33%, 74.65% in T4 and T5, respectively. However, greater RA of HMRF was found in T1 or without biochar applied treatment. The phylum of Basidiomycota was the dominant fungal community accounting for 61.14%, 6.16%, 32.18%, 74.65%, and 73.73% from T1 to T5 of the total fungi abundance, with wide presence of the Wallemiomycetes and Eurotiomycetes classes. The Wallemia and Aspergillus were the richest genus and species. Wallemia_sebi, Altemaria_alternata and Aspergillus_amoenus were detected having greater abundance among all treatments. Besides this, the network correlation pattern confirmed that the relative greater percentage of correlation among dominant HMRF community with bio-available HM and other physicochemical factors increased with the addition of biochar. There was reasonable infer that the biochar amendment in composting could constitute favorable habitat for an active fungal population.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The enormous production and widespread applications of non -biodegradable plastics lead to their accumulation and toxicity to animals and humans. The issue can be addressed by the development of eco-friendly strategies for the production of biopolymers by utilization of waste residues like agro residues. This will address two societal issues – waste management and the development of an eco-friendly biopolymer, poly-3-hydroxy alkanoates (PHAs). Strategies adopted for utilization of agro-residues, challenges and future perspectives are discussed in detail in this comprehensive review. The possibility of PHA properties improvements can be increased by preparation of blends.
