Soil, a complex and dynamic ecosystem, is a vital support system for life on Earth. Soil carbon fractions—from transient, labile forms to persistent recalcitrant pools—play a key role in climate mitigation, soil fertility, and sustainable land management. This review synthesizes current knowledge on soil organic and inorganic carbon fractions' behavior, stability, and ecosystem functioning across climatic gradients and land use types. We evaluate their differential responses to environmental stress and human-induced disturbances, emphasizing their contributions to greenhouse gas dynamics, nutrient cycling, and soil structure. Fraction targeted analysis propose strategic interventions for enhancing soil carbon sequestration and climate resilience in agricultural systems. By realigning/refocusing carbon management around fraction-specific functionality, this review offers a conceptual framework for utilizing soil carbon in environmental and agronomic climate-smart agriculture strategies. This review highlights the relevance of soil carbon fraction management in advancing climate-resilient practices (SDG 13), enhancing sustainable agricultural productivity (SDG 2), and fostering ecosystem restoration and land sustainability (SDG 15).

土壤是一个复杂的动态生态系统，是地球上生命的重要支持系统。土壤碳组分——从短暂的、不稳定的形式到持久的顽固性碳库——在减缓气候变化、土壤肥力和可持续土地管理方面发挥着关键作用。本文综述了土壤有机碳和无机碳组分在不同气候梯度和土地利用类型下的行为、稳定性和生态系统功能。我们评估了它们对环境胁迫和人为干扰的不同反应，强调了它们对温室气体动力学、养分循环和土壤结构的贡献。分数定向分析提出了加强农业系统土壤固碳和气候适应能力的战略干预措施。通过围绕特定组分功能重新调整/重新聚焦碳管理，本综述为在环境和农学气候智慧型农业战略中利用土壤碳提供了一个概念框架。本综述强调了土壤碳组分管理在推进气候适应型实践（可持续发展目标13）、提高可持续农业生产力（可持续发展目标2）以及促进生态系统恢复和土地可持续性（可持续发展目标15）方面的相关性。

Food waste (FW) is a global challenge with profound environmental, economic, and social implications, particularly through its substantial contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This review aims to synthesise evidence on the relationship between FW reduction strategies and climate change mitigation, with a focus on its potential valorisation as bioenergy. A systematic examination of the recent literature was conducted, addressing the composition, physicochemical characteristics, and conversion technologies, including hydrothermal liquefaction, pyrolysis, fermentation, and anaerobic digestion. The findings indicate that FW accounts for up to 8 % of global GHG emissions, predominantly methane, which has a far greater warming potential than CO₂. Reduction and recovery strategies could mitigate millions of tons of CO₂-equivalent annually while generating high-value biofuels. Hydrothermal liquefaction emerges as the most suitable technology for high-moisture FW, with significant potential for yield improvement through pretreatment and catalytic enhancement. The novelty of this review lies in its integration of policy, practice, and technological perspectives into a unified analytical framework, encompassing regulatory instruments, supply chain innovations, and opportunities for developing a circular bioeconomy. In conclusion, reducing FW is not only an ethical imperative but also a practical pathway toward climate change mitigation, offering co-benefits for food security, energy sustainability, and intergenerational equity.

食物浪费是一项全球性挑战，具有深远的环境、经济和社会影响，特别是因为它对温室气体（GHG）排放的巨大贡献。这篇综述的目的是综合关于减少FW策略与减缓气候变化之间关系的证据，重点是其作为生物能源的潜在价值。对最近的文献进行了系统的检查，解决了组成、物理化学特性和转化技术，包括水热液化、热解、发酵和厌氧消化。研究结果表明，FW占全球温室气体排放量的8%，主要是甲烷，它比二氧化碳具有更大的变暖潜力。减少和回收战略每年可以减少数百万吨二氧化碳当量，同时产生高价值的生物燃料。水热液化是处理高水分FW的最合适的技术，通过预处理和催化增强可以显著提高收率。本综述的新颖之处在于将政策、实践和技术观点整合到一个统一的分析框架中，包括监管工具、供应链创新和发展循环生物经济的机会。总之，减少温室气体排放不仅是道德上的要求，也是减缓气候变化的实际途径，为粮食安全、能源可持续性和代际公平提供了共同利益。

Fresh air is essential for a healthy life but is being polluted due to day-to-day changes in lifestyle. Air purification systems using nanotechnology has started to come into existence providing effective solution at low cost and less energy. The review on investigating the antibacterial and antifungal activity of the synthesised Ag nanoparticles revealed significant amount of antimicrobial activity against airborne pathogens such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus ficuum, Rhizopus stolonifer and Phanerochaete chrysosporium were observed. Nanoparticles incorporated membrane is expected to target the contaminants present in the air and treat it effectively. Air filtration studies on the performances of the nanofiber membranes against bacterial and fungal aerosol showed the filtration efficiency and antimicrobial efficiency increased with the Ag nanoparticles amount, and that it decreased with the amount of microbial loading. The actual and theoretical antimicrobial efficiency tests yielded the maximum antibacterial and antifungal efficacy at 98.33 % and 99.86 %, respectively. All these factors prove that the emergence of silver nanofiber membranes as an antimicrobial agent is a promising future for the treatment of air pollution.

新鲜空气对健康生活至关重要，但由于日常生活方式的改变，空气正在受到污染。采用纳米技术的空气净化系统已经开始出现，提供了低成本、低能耗的有效解决方案。对所合成的银纳米颗粒的抑菌活性进行了研究，发现其对枯草芽孢杆菌、巨芽孢杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌、铜绿假单胞菌、恶臭假单胞菌、大肠埃希菌、黑曲霉、无花果曲霉、匍匐根霉和黄孢平革菌等空气传播病原体具有显著的抑菌活性。纳米颗粒结合膜有望针对存在于空气中的污染物并有效地处理它。空气过滤研究表明，纳米纤维膜对细菌和真菌气溶胶的过滤效率和抑菌效率随银纳米颗粒用量的增加而增加，随微生物负荷的增加而降低。实际抑菌效率试验和理论抑菌效率试验结果表明，其抑菌效率最高，分别为98.33%和99.86%。这些都证明了银纳米纤维膜作为一种抗菌剂的出现在空气污染治理中是一个很有前途的前景。

To nip it or let it bloom: Life cycle assessment of lab-scale catalysts used in low-TRL CCUS technologies 扼杀它还是让它开花：低trl CCUS技术中使用的实验室规模催化剂的生命周期评估

Excessive reliance on fossil fuels results in the increasing accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere, contributing to substantial global warming. To mitigate the release of this greenhouse gas, CCUS technology integrates carbon capture, utilization, and storage, providing a comprehensive solution to address the impact of industrial activities on climate change. While numerous experimental-scale CCUS processes are being studied, there is a need to compare their environmental impacts. This paper focuses on the life cycle assessment (LCA) of lab-scale catalysts used in low technology readiness level (TRL) CCUS methodologies, employed to obtain a single target product. It includes a case study of two Cu-based catalysts for the conversion of CO₂ into ethanol. Selection of ethanol as the CCU product is due to its prospects as a renewable fuel. Both grid electricity and photovoltaic-based electricity for catalyst synthesis have been used, resulting in a comparative study of four separate product systems. The two catalysts used in this assessment are Cu/C-0.4, and Cu@Na-Beta. Cu/C-0.4 catalyst has Cu nominal loading of 0.4wt%, over carbon support. Cu@Na-Beta consists of embedded 2–5 nm Cu nanoparticles in crystalline particles of Na- Beta zeolite. 17 impact categories were selected for the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA). In all categories, Cu/C-0.4 has more environmental impact than Cu@Na-Beta, indicating that it is environmentally less harmful to synthesize Cu@Na-Beta for CCU applications than Cu/C-0.4 under the studied conditions. Thus this study outlines the method of using LCA for preliminary screening of potential technologies that can be considered for commercial implementation.

对化石燃料的过度依赖导致大气中二氧化碳（CO2）的积累不断增加，从而导致严重的全球变暖。为了减少这种温室气体的排放，CCUS技术将碳捕获、利用和储存集成在一起，为解决工业活动对气候变化的影响提供了一个全面的解决方案。虽然正在研究许多实验规模的CCUS过程，但有必要比较它们对环境的影响。本文着重于低技术成熟度（TRL） CCUS方法中使用的实验室规模催化剂的生命周期评估（LCA），用于获得单一目标产品。它包括两种铜基催化剂转化为乙醇的案例研究。选择乙醇作为CCU产品是由于其作为可再生燃料的前景。电网电力和基于光伏的电力都被用于催化剂合成，从而对四种不同的产品系统进行了比较研究。本次评价中使用的两种催化剂分别是Cu/C-0.4和Cu@Na-Beta。Cu/C-0.4催化剂的Cu标称负载为0.4wt%，超过碳负载。Cu@Na-Beta由嵌入在Na- β沸石晶体颗粒中的2-5纳米铜纳米颗粒组成。选取17个影响类别进行生命周期影响评估（LCIA）。在所有类别中，Cu/C-0.4对环境的影响都大于Cu@Na-Beta，这表明在研究条件下，合成Cu@Na-Beta用于CCU的环境危害比Cu/C-0.4小。因此，本研究概述了使用LCA对可考虑用于商业实施的潜在技术进行初步筛选的方法。

The fuel attributes of Animal Fat biodiesel are thoroughly investigated in this work through the application of the Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) technique. The study precisely focuses on the Indian biodiesel manufacturing industry. Eight essential biodiesel properties like water content, viscosity, lubricity, iodine number, flash point, calcific value, and cetane number were considered for the analysis. The ISM technique was used for the result. It was found that the "Lubricity" and "Iodine content" were important factors which plays a good role on affecting the animal fat biodiesel. Also, the study showed that animal fats biodiesel has a good fuel characteristic. These results are much beneficial for researchers and managers who are involved in the biodiesel manufacturing industry. Comprehending the impact of "Lubricity" and "Iodine content" on fuel characteristics enables researchers to focus their endeavors on augmenting these traits. By giving lubricity and iodine concentration top priority, managers can effectively deploy resources and design production processes that maximize the necessary fuel qualities of Animal Fat biodiesel.

Oxygen production as a by-product from renewable energy-based water electrolysis has great potential to support the clean energy transition. This study reviews the efficiency of electrolysis technologies, oxygen applications, and their environmental and economic impacts. Proton exchange membrane (PEM)-based systems show up to 85 % efficiencies, while transition metal catalysts increase efficiencies to 90 %. Integrating solar photovoltaic systems with electrolysis yields 80 % efficiency despite the challenges of power fluctuations. High-purity oxygen from electrolysis has broad applications, including respiratory therapy in the medical field, aeration in wastewater treatment, and more efficient combustion of fossil fuels in the energy sector, all contributing to reduced carbon emissions. In an industrial context, oxygen supports the efficiency of processes such as welding and chemical oxidation. The novelty of this study lies in the in-depth exploration of the economic opportunities and environmental impacts of oxygen as a by-product. The potential for increased revenue from oxygen could accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen technologies. Key challenges include the cost of oxygen storage and the need for more efficient liquid storage technologies. Further research is recommended to improve the modular design of electrolysis reactors and more stable integration with renewable energy systems. By overcoming these barriers, oxygen from water electrolysis could be a significant innovation for sustainability across sectors.

Methanation offers a potential option for converting CO₂ to green synthetic fuels, providing a solution for reducing carbon emissions. Nickel-based catalysts, promoted with CeO₂ and supported on zeolite ZSM-5, were synthesized for CO₂ methanation using different impregnation methods, including simultaneous and sequential impregnation of Ce³⁺ and Ni²⁺ salts onto the ZSM-5 zeolite (NiCe/ZSM-5, Ni-Ce/ZSM-5, Ce-Ni/ZSM-5). The effects of CeO₂ on Ni dispersion and crystallite size on ZSM-5 were investigated, revealing that simultaneous impregnation of Ce³⁺ and Ni²⁺ salts onto the ZSM-5 zeolite (NiCe/ZSM-5) leads to a higher effectiveness in creating smaller NiO and CeO₂ crystallite sizes compared to sequential impregnation. This approach enhanced Ni dispersion and increasing the basic sites of the catalyst. The samples were characterized using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), the surface areas and pore volumes measured by N₂ adsorption at 77 K (–196 °C), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), and carbon dioxide temperature-programmed desorption (CO₂-TPD). The CO₂ adsorption capacity at ambient pressure of different samples ranged from 0.31 to 0.48 mmol/g. Catalytic performance was evaluated via CO₂ conversion, CH₄ selectivity, CH₄ yield. Highest results were recorded for NiCe/ZSM-5, with 79.4 % conversion, 98.5 % CH₄ selectivity, and 75.6 % CH₄ yield at 375–400 °C. At 325 °C, the TOF of NiCe/ZSM-5 (0.319 s⁻¹) is 3.6 times higher than that of Ni/ZSM-5 (0.089 s⁻¹) prepared by the same method. The mechanism of the CO₂ methanation process was also proposed.

甲烷化为将二氧化碳转化为绿色合成燃料提供了一个潜在的选择，为减少碳排放提供了一个解决方案。采用不同的浸渍方法（NiCe/ZSM-5、Ni-Ce/ZSM-5、Ce-Ni/ZSM-5），制备了以CeO2促进、负载于ZSM-5沸石上的镍基催化剂，用于CO2甲烷化。研究了CeO2对Ni在ZSM-5分子筛（NiCe/ZSM-5）上分散和晶粒尺寸的影响，发现Ce3+和Ni2+盐同时浸渍在ZSM-5分子筛（NiCe/ZSM-5）上，与顺序浸渍相比，可以更有效地形成较小的NiO和CeO2晶粒尺寸。这种方法增强了Ni的分散性，增加了催化剂的碱性位。采用x射线衍射（XRD）、77 K（-196°C）下N2吸附测量的表面积和孔体积、能量色散x射线能谱（EDX）、扫描电镜（SEM）、氢气程序升温还原（H2-TPR）和二氧化碳程序升温解吸（CO2-TPD）等技术对样品进行了表征。不同样品在环境压力下的CO2吸附量范围为0.31 ~ 0.48 mmol/g。通过CO2转化率、CH4选择性、CH4产率等指标评价催化性能。在375 ~ 400℃条件下，NiCe/ZSM-5的转化率为79.4%，CH4选择性为98.5%，CH4产率为75.6%。在325°C时，NiCe/ZSM-5的TOF （0.319 s⁻）比用同样方法制备的Ni/ZSM-5的TOF （0.089 s⁻）高3.6倍。提出了CO2甲烷化过程的机理。

p-Aminophenol is an important intermediate for dyestuff, medical and rubber. Selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene is a green and environmentally friendly preparation process for the p-aminophenol synthesis. In this review, we first introduce the catalytic performances of a series of catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to p-aminophenol. Then the typical reaction pathways of nitrobenzene hydrogenation toward p-aminophenol are proposed. Moreover, various acid reaction systems that can replace sulfuric acid are described. Finally, the existential problems of this reaction and future efforts are pointed out. It is anticipated that the review can provide perspectives on the design rules of highly active and highly selective catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to p-aminophenol.

The present work is, for the first time, concentrated on using agricultural cellulose material as a conceivable filler in membranes for CO₂/CH₄ gas separation. It was possible to fabricate a better membrane with low cost and good permeability (CO₂) and selectivity (CO₂/CH₄). The novel DANC@PEI filler is synthesized from coconut coir fibres, its surface area is very effective for gas separation. The nano-cellulose fibres (NC) were extracted from coconut coir fibres, converted into dialdehyde nano-cellulose (DANC) and functionalized with polyethyleneimine (PEI). The synthesized nano-cellulose filler DANC@PEI (1, 3, 5 wt.%) was incorporated into PSF (Polysulfone). The mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM and XRD. The result suggested that for pure and mixed studies, the CO₂ permeability in pure gas (12.21 Barrer) and mixed gas (11.35 Barrer) was increased compared to the plain PSF membrane (7.02 Barrer). The selectivity was also significantly increased due to PEI functionalization with DANC, which provides more sites for CO₂ sorption, not CH₄. From the observation, DANC@PEI nano-cellulose filler is a promising candidate for CO₂/CH₄ separation.

本研究首次将农业纤维素材料作为CO2/CH4气体分离膜的填料。制备成本低、渗透性（CO2）和选择性（CO2/CH4）好的膜是可能的。新型DANC@PEI填料是由椰子纤维合成的，它的表面积对气体分离非常有效。从椰子纤维中提取纳米纤维素纤维（NC），转化成双醛纳米纤维素（DANC），并用聚乙烯亚胺（PEI）功能化。将合成的纳米纤维素填料DANC@PEI （1,3,5 wt.%）掺入聚砜（PSF）中。采用红外光谱（FTIR）、热重分析（TGA）、扫描电镜（SEM）和x射线衍射（XRD）对混合基质膜进行了表征。结果表明，在纯和混合研究中，纯气体（12.21 Barrer）和混合气体（11.35 Barrer）中的CO2渗透率均高于普通PSF膜（7.02 Barrer）。由于PEI与DANC的功能化，选择性也显著提高，提供了更多的CO2吸附位点，而不是CH4。通过观察，DANC@PEI纳米纤维素填料是CO2/CH4分离的理想填料。

Agricultural and horticultural industries across the globe lead to vast quantities of waste, often disposed of indiscriminately both at the point of production and by consumers. These wastes can lead to pollution of local environments and eco-systems, such as those in India affected by the 800 thousand tonnes of floral waste annually. Floral waste is rich in compounds useful in the personal care and pharmaceutical industries, such as terpenoids and other phenolics. These compounds are synthesised and modified by many microorganisms, including Streptomyces, the microorganisms responsible for many anti-cancer and antibiotic drugs used today. Streptomyces species are also known to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes, leading to the degradation of plant matter. This study aims to explore whether Streptomyces can utilise a semi-solid flower media whilst producing industrially useful bioactive compounds from natural floral compounds. Blended flowers in ISP4 media were inoculated with Streptomyces coelicolor M145 and sampled regularly over a 6-week aerobic incubation period. A range of bioactive compounds were identified through GC–MS analysis of the aqueous media, providing evidence that under the correct conditions floral waste has potential as a sustainable feedstock.

世界各地的农业和园艺业产生了大量的废物，这些废物往往在生产环节和消费者手中被随意丢弃。这些废物可能导致当地环境和生态系统的污染，例如印度每年受到80万吨花卉废物的影响。花的废料富含对个人护理和制药工业有用的化合物，如萜类和其他酚类物质。这些化合物是由包括链霉菌在内的许多微生物合成和修饰的，链霉菌是目前使用的许多抗癌和抗生素药物的微生物。众所周知，链霉菌也能产生木质纤维素水解酶，导致植物物质的降解。本研究旨在探索链霉菌是否可以利用半固体花介质，同时从天然花化合物中生产工业上有用的生物活性化合物。在ISP4培养基中，用cocolicolstreptomyces M145接种混合花，并在6周的有氧培养期间定期取样。通过气相色谱-质谱分析鉴定了一系列生物活性化合物，证明在适当的条件下，花卉废弃物具有作为可持续原料的潜力。
