The oil palm agro-industry is growing, and with it, the generation of waste, primarily empty fruit bunches (EFB), which represent between 16 % and 23 % of the fresh fruit bunch. The practice among companies and farmers is to degrade these bunches outdoors, with very few producing compost. The former option generates environmental problems due to its slow degradation. On the other hand, the use of nursery bags in the agroforestry sector is the most common practice, but improper disposal of these bags also generates microplastic pollution. This research was designed to evaluate the effect of environmental conditions on the biodegradation of pots made from EFB enriched with dolomite and phosphate rock. A burial methodology was used under natural conditions at a depth of 15 cm from the soil, under storage conditions (infrastructure), in open soil (scarce vegetation cover that has not had alterations) and in reforested soil (with vegetation cover), measuring weight loss at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days, with a pre-experimental pre-test/post-test design. By means of the ANOVA test, the post hoc Tukey and cubic curvilinear regression, the greatest degradation occurred in reforested soil with 93.88 %, in open soil with 86.80 % and in storage with 1.06 % at day 90. Pot enrichment, physicochemical and microbiological conditions presented favorable parameters for the soil. In addition, the prediction of total biodegradation in reforested soil was given on day 95 and in open soil on day 98. Biodegradation was rapid in relation to other alternatives studied. In addition, the use of planters is feasible due to their biodegradation, compared to the current use of plastic that persists in the environment, representing a danger to ecosystems and people.
油棕农业产业正在发展,随之而来的是产生的废物,主要是空果串(EFB),占新鲜果串的16% %至23% %。公司和农民的做法是在户外降解这些束,很少有生产堆肥。前一种选择由于其降解缓慢而产生环境问题。另一方面,农林业部门使用苗圃袋是最常见的做法,但这些袋的处置不当也会产生微塑料污染。本研究旨在评价环境条件对富白云岩和磷灰岩EFB罐生物降解的影响。采用掩埋方法,在距离土壤15 cm的自然条件下,在储存条件(基础设施)下,在开阔土壤(未发生变化的稀缺植被覆盖)和再造林土壤(有植被覆盖)中,采用实验前测试/测试后设计,测量15、30、45、60、75和90天的体重损失。通过方差分析、随机回归分析和三次曲线回归分析,在第90天,复林土壤的退化程度最大,为93.88 %,露天土壤为86.80 %,贮藏土壤为1.06 %。盆栽富集、理化和微生物条件均为土壤的有利条件。此外,对复林土壤的总生物降解进行了第95天和第98天的预测。与研究的其他替代品相比,生物降解速度快。此外,与目前在环境中持续使用的对生态系统和人类构成危险的塑料相比,使用种植机是可行的,因为它们可以生物降解。

This study evaluated the potential use of kraft and organosolv lignins extracted from pinecones and nutshells as adsorbents for chromium (VI), a highly toxic and carcinogenic contaminant commonly found in industrial effluents. Kraft lignin was obtained from the black liquor by precipitation, after kraft pulping with 20 % active alkali and 30 % sulfidity at 165 °C for 60 min. Organosolv lignin was obtained by precipitation after extraction with 80 % aqueous ethanol with 1.5 % HCl as a catalyst at 180 °C for 2 h. Both Kraft lignins showed the best results with maximum chromium adsorption of 360 mgchromium/glignin after only 3 h of contact time. Organosolv lignins needed 6 h to reach full adsorption (98 %), and the maximum chromium adsorption capacity values were 357 and 156 mgchromium/glignin for nutshell and pinecone lignins, respectively. Desorption and adsorption studies were performed to assess lignin recyclability, and after 5 cycles, lignin adsorption decreased between 55 % and 67 %. Overall, lignin extracted from the pine nut by-products showed high chromium adsorption properties and high adsorption capacity in a short time.
本研究评估了从松果和坚果壳中提取的硫酸盐和有机溶剂木质素作为铬(VI)吸附剂的潜在用途,铬(VI)是工业废水中常见的一种剧毒和致癌污染物。以黑液为原料,以20% %的活性碱和30% %的硫化度,在165℃条件下蒸煮60 min,经沉淀得到硫酸盐木质素。以80% %乙醇水溶液,1.5 %盐酸为催化剂,180℃萃取2 h,得到木质素有机溶剂。两种木质素均表现出最佳的吸附效果,在接触时间为3 h时,木质素对铬的吸附量达到360 mgchromium/glignin。有机溶剂木质素达到完全吸附(98% %)需要6 h,果壳木质素和松果木质素对铬的最大吸附量分别为357和156 mgchromium/木质素。通过解吸和吸附研究来评估木质素的可回收性,经过5个循环后,木质素的吸附性在55 %和67 %之间下降。总体而言,从松子副产物中提取的木质素在短时间内具有较高的铬吸附性能和较高的吸附容量。

The synthesis of ammonia from molecular nitrogen and hydrogen under ambient conditions remains one of the greatest challenges in chemical method development. Notable successes have been achieved using transition metal complexes. However, the design of metal-free catalysts for nitrogen activation and ammonia synthesis under ambient conditions remains an active area of research. Various types of carbenes — including N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAACs), bicyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (BICAACs), P-heterocyclic carbenes (PHCs), and others — have emerged as frontrunners for this purpose. Nevertheless, the nitrogen activation efficiency of pristine carbon allotropes (PCAs) remains largely unexplored. The present study investigates the nitrogen activation efficiency and ammonia formation capacity of several newly synthesized PCAs. Our results show that the PCAs examined here are highly effective for nitrogen activation. However, only one PCA demonstrates efficacy for ammonia formation at room temperature.
在环境条件下由分子氮和氢合成氨仍然是化学方法发展的最大挑战之一。使用过渡金属配合物取得了显著的成功。然而,在环境条件下设计用于氮活化和氨合成的无金属催化剂仍然是一个活跃的研究领域。各种类型的碳烯-包括n -杂环碳烯(NHCs),环(烷基)(氨基)碳烯(CAACs),双环(烷基)(氨基)碳烯(BICAACs), p -杂环碳烯(PHCs)等-已经成为这一目的的领跑者。然而,原始碳同素异形体(PCAs)的氮活化效率在很大程度上仍未被探索。本文研究了几种新合成的聚丙烯酸酯的氮活化效率和氨生成能力。我们的研究结果表明,这里检测的pca对氮活化非常有效。然而,只有一种PCA在室温下对氨的形成有效。

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel in global demand to replace fossil fuels. To meet rising biodiesel demand, the production process must use a variety of biomass. Coconut testa is a significant source of biomass waste globally. Coconut testa's high lipid content makes it a good biodiesel source material. Thus, using transesterification to make biodiesel from coconut testa may improve production efficiency. This study aims to determine the most effective solvent for extracting oil from coconut testa based on the percentage of oil yield. This study utilises two solvents, hexane and ethanol, for the extraction of oil from coconut testa. Hexane is the most effective solvent, resulting in an oil yield of 71.4 %. Subsequently, the extracted oil will be utilised for the manufacturing of biodiesel by a transesterification reaction. The composition of extracted oil is evaluated to determine the concentration of free fatty acids (FFA) present. The presence of high amounts of free fatty acids is a desirable trait in biomass to produce biodiesel. The acid value of the oil recovered from coconut testa was found to be below 0.8 mg KOH/g, which is in complying with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) requirement for acid value. The FFA percentage can be represented in relation to the proportions of palmitic acid, lauric acid, and oleic acid, which account for 28 %, 22 %, and 31 % respectively. The process optimization of oil extracted from coconut testa for biodiesel synthesis indicates that a temperature of 40.00 ⁰C and a 0.975 g alkaline catalyst have resulted in a 23.40 % oil yield. This study demonstrates that coconut testa, a plentiful biomass resource in Malaysia, has the potential to be utilised for the production of important products such as biodiesel.
生物柴油是一种可再生燃料,在全球需求取代化石燃料。为了满足日益增长的生物柴油需求,生产过程必须使用各种生物质。椰子是全球生物质废弃物的重要来源。椰子的高脂含量使其成为一种很好的生物柴油原料。因此,利用酯交换技术从椰子皮中制备生物柴油可以提高生产效率。本研究旨在以出油率为指标,确定最有效的萃取溶剂。本研究采用正己烷和乙醇两种溶剂从椰子皮中提取油。正己烷是最有效的溶剂,产油率为71.4 %。随后,提取的油将通过酯交换反应用于制造生物柴油。提取油的组成进行评估,以确定存在的游离脂肪酸(FFA)的浓度。在生产生物柴油的生物质中,大量游离脂肪酸的存在是一个理想的特性。从椰子中提取的油酸值低于0.8 mg KOH/g,符合美国材料与试验协会(ASTM)对酸值的要求。FFA的比例可以用棕榈酸、月桂酸和油酸的比例来表示,分别占28% %、22% %和31% %。从椰子中提取的油用于合成生物柴油的工艺优化表明,温度为40.00⁰C,碱性催化剂为0.975 g,产油率为23.40 %。这项研究表明,马来西亚丰富的生物质资源椰皮具有用于生产生物柴油等重要产品的潜力。

To enhance the competitiveness of biorefineries based on sugars production, the interest in the valorization of hydrolysis lignin residue is becoming increasingly essential. Nevertheless, hydrolysis lignin residue (Hyd-Lig) faces limitations in its valorization—for instance, as bioactive agent due to different factors, including poor solubility, carbohydrates contamination, and chemical and structural variability. In this study, alkaline and organosolv (acetone, dioxane or methanol) approaches were evaluated for extraction of lignin from a hydrolysis residue generated during steam explosion and subsequent saccharification of poplar. The extracted lignins were characterized according to purity, chemical, and structural features by analytical standard methods and FTIR, SEC, 13C and 1H–13C NMR. Antioxidant (Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity, TEAC) and antibacterial (against Staphylococcus aureus) properties were also evaluated. The extracted lignin recovery yield using alkaline conditions (Alk-Lig) was 39.1 %, whereas using acetone (Ace-Lig), dioxane (Dio-Lig), and methanol (Met-Lig) were 24.1 %, 19.1 % and 13.1 %, respectively. Compared to Hyd-Lig, with a total lignin content of 63.9 %, extracted lignins displayed a higher purity (total lignin of 93.9–95.9 %). In addition, extracted lignins displayed a removal of lateral chains (aryl-β ether) and, therefore presented a higher phenolic content (around of 210–238 mg GAE/g lignin) compared to Hyd-Lig sample (42 mg GAE/g lignin). Then, the solubility of extracted lignins was improved, and higher antioxidant (TEAC values between 0.055 and 0.155) and antibacterial activities (Log R values between 0.5 and 1.2), compared to Hyd-Lig sample (TEAC and Log R of 0.022 and 0.02, respectively), were obtained. This work shows the necessity of extracting lignin from hydrolysis residues to enhance its applicability as bioactive agent and enable its potential valorization.
为了提高以糖生产为基础的生物精炼厂的竞争力,对水解木质素残渣的价值增值的兴趣变得越来越重要。然而,水解木质素残渣(hydro - lig)在其价值转化方面面临限制,例如,由于不同的因素,包括溶解度差,碳水化合物污染,化学和结构的可变性。在本研究中,对碱性和有机溶剂(丙酮、二氧六环或甲醇)法从杨树蒸汽爆炸和后续糖化过程中产生的水解残渣中提取木质素进行了评价。通过分析标准方法、FTIR、SEC、13C和1H-13C NMR对提取的木质素进行了纯度、化学和结构表征。抗氧化能力(Trolox当量抗氧化能力,TEAC)和抗菌(对金黄色葡萄球菌)性能也进行了评估。碱法(Alk-Lig)提取木质素的回收率为39.1 %,丙酮法(Ace-Lig)、二氧六环法(Dio-Lig)和甲醇法(Met-Lig)分别为24.1 %、19.1 %和13.1 %。与总木质素含量为63.9 %的hydro - lig相比,提取的木质素纯度更高(总木质素含量为93.9 ~ 95.9% %)。此外,提取的木质素显示了侧链(芳香基-β醚)的去除,因此与hydro - lig样品(42 mg GAE/g木质素)相比,具有更高的酚含量(约210-238 mg GAE/g木质素)。提取的木质素溶解度提高,抗氧化活性(TEAC值在0.055 ~ 0.155之间)和抗菌活性(Log R值在0.5 ~ 1.2之间)均高于Hyd-Lig样品(TEAC和Log R分别为0.022和0.02)。这项工作表明,从水解残留物中提取木质素以提高其作为生物活性剂的适用性并使其具有潜在的价值。

The effects of various operating parameters for the simultaneous removal of methyl red and methyl orange azo dyes by electrocoagulation with iron electrodes were examined in this study using response surface methodology. The electrocoagulation process was optimized and the direct and interaction effects of the different factors were assessed using the central composite design. Current intensity (X1), initial dye concentration (X2), pH (X3), and treatment time (X4) were studied as factors to assess their effect on each dye removal efficiency. The main factors such as current intensity (X1), initial concentration (X2) and time (X4) had no significant positive effects, whatever the nature of the dye. However, the effect of pH was predominant and significant compared to the others on the responses. It had a negative coefficient of 5.93, which is about 25 times greater than that of current intensity and about 4 times greater than that of initial concentration and time for methyl red. For methyl orange, the pH has a negative coefficient of 3.76, corresponding to an effect approximately 14 times greater than that of current intensity and 2 times greater than that of initial concentration and time. The effects due to the interactions of the main factors initial concentration and pH (X2×3), pH and time (X3×4) have a significant contribution a95 % confidence level. Similarly, the quadratic effects of all four factors show significant contributions at 95 % confidence level, with the exception of the methyl red elimination model, where the quadratic effect of the time shows no significant effect. The optimum conditions for maximum methyl red removal 96.303 % were: 155.1 mA for current intensity, 75 mg/L for initial methyl red concentration, pH value of 4.7, and 47 min for electrolysis time. Optimum conditions for the complete removal of methyl orange were; 155.1 mA for current intensity, 75 mg/L for initial methyl red concentration, pH value of 5.1, and a duration of 51 min. The most influential factor for the degradation of dyes by electrocoagulation is the pH of the medium. As a result, the electrocoagulation technique proved to be an effective, easy-to-implement, promising, and environmentally friendly technique for dye removal and could be applied for the treatment of wastewater.
采用响应面法研究了不同操作参数对铁电极电凝同时去除甲基红和甲基橙偶氮染料的影响。采用中心复合设计对电凝工艺进行了优化,并对不同因素的直接效应和交互效应进行了评价。研究了电流强度(X1)、初始染料浓度(X2)、pH (X3)和处理时间(X4)对各染料去除率的影响。无论染料的性质如何,电流强度(X1)、初始浓度(X2)和时间(X4)等主要因素都没有显著的正影响。然而,pH值对反应的影响是显著的。其负系数为5.93,约为电流强度的25倍,约为甲基红初始浓度和时间的4倍。对于甲基橙,pH的负系数为3.76,对应的影响大约是电流强度的14倍,是初始浓度和时间的2倍。初始浓度与pH值(X2×3)、pH值与时间(X3×4)相互作用的影响在95% %的置信水平上有显著贡献。同样,除甲基红消除模型外,所有四个因素的二次效应在95% %的置信水平上都有显著贡献,其中时间的二次效应没有显着影响。电流强度为155.1 mA,初始甲基红浓度为75 mg/L, pH值为4.7,电解时间为47 min,甲基红去除率为96.303 %。甲基橙完全脱除的最佳条件为:电流强度为155.1 mA,初始甲基红浓度为75 mg/L, pH值为5.1,持续时间为51 min。电絮凝法降解染料的最主要影响因素是介质的pH值。结果表明,电絮凝技术是一种有效的、易于实现的、有前途的、环保的染料去除技术,可以应用于废水处理。

The rising demand for sustainable energy is driving attention in biomass as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. This review explores biomass composition, pretreatment methods, and main conversion technologies, including pyrolysis, gasification, and fermentation. Biochemical methods such as enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation enable bioethanol, biobutanol, and biogas production. Conversion efficiency depends on factors like feedstock properties, pretreatment methods, and reactor configurations. Thermochemical processes, particularly pyrolysis, effectively convert lignocellulosic biomass into bio-oil, syngas, and biochar. Product distribution is strongly dependent on operating parameters such as reactor type, temperature, heating rate, and biomass feedstock properties. Under optimized fast pyrolysis conditions at 450–600 °C and rapid heating with short vapor residence time, typical yields include 60–75 wt.% bio-oil, 10–20 wt.% biochar, and 10–25 wt.% syngas. Emerging techniques, such as microwave-assisted pyrolysis, have shown promise in improving fuel quality and reducing process residues. Overall, biomass conversion technologies represent a viable pathway toward sustainable energy production, offering significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil resources.

This study evaluates the environmental impacts of three primary lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling processes—pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical, and direct recycling—through a life cycle perspective. The analysis considers lithium iron phosphate (LFP), nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC), and nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA) cathode chemistries, both individually and as a projected 2031 mixture. Pyrometallurgical recycling exhibits the highest climate change impacts due to CO₂ emissions during high-temperature calcination. In contrast, direct recycling exhibits the lowest environmental impacts across all impact categories assessed. However, its industrial scalability and the effective cathode material separation for mixed input feedstocks remain significant challenges. Hydrometallurgical recycling is heavily influenced by the environmental burdens of input materials, with over 70 % of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions attributable to reagents like sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide, which also contribute to marine eutrophication and respiratory effects. The graphite produced from the hydrometallurgical process is often incinerated due to its low quality and limited recyclability, which increases net emissions and brings the environmental impacts of hydrometallurgy closer to those of pyrometallurgical methods. Interestingly, although LFP recycling benefits from reduced processing chemical and energy demands, the lower environmental credits associated to the recovered materials result in relatively high net impacts. These findings emphasize the need to consider the full life cycle and especially the environmental value of recovered materials when assessing the environmental sustainability of LIB recycling processes. Future improvements should focus on increasing material recovery rates, minimizing processing emissions and chemicals demand, and incorporating renewable energy to reduce electricity-related impacts. Tailoring recycling technologies to specific chemistries and generating high-resolution data from industrial processes will be essential for optimizing recycling strategies and aligning them with sustainability goals.
本研究从生命周期的角度评估了三种初级锂离子电池(LIB)回收工艺(火法冶金、湿法冶金和直接回收)对环境的影响。该分析考虑了磷酸铁锂(LFP),镍锰钴(NMC)和镍钴铝(NCA)阴极化学物质,无论是单独的还是预计的2031混合物。由于高温煅烧过程中二氧化碳的排放,火法冶金回收对气候变化的影响最大。相比之下,直接回收在所有评估的影响类别中显示出最低的环境影响。然而,它的工业可扩展性和对混合输入原料的有效阴极材料分离仍然是重大的挑战。湿法冶金回收受到输入材料的环境负担的严重影响,超过70% %的温室气体(GHG)排放可归因于硫酸和氢氧化钠等试剂,这些试剂也有助于海洋富营养化和呼吸效应。湿法冶金生产的石墨由于其质量低,可回收性有限,往往被焚烧,这增加了净排放量,使湿法冶金对环境的影响更接近火法冶金。有趣的是,虽然LFP回收利用减少了加工化学和能源需求,但与回收材料相关的较低环境信用导致相对较高的净影响。这些发现强调,在评估LIB回收过程的环境可持续性时,需要考虑整个生命周期,特别是回收材料的环境价值。未来的改进应侧重于提高材料回收率,尽量减少加工排放和化学品需求,并纳入可再生能源以减少与电力有关的影响。针对特定化学物质定制回收技术,并从工业过程中生成高分辨率数据,对于优化回收策略并使其与可持续发展目标保持一致至关重要。

The rising volume of electronic waste (e-waste) presents both environmental and resource sustainability challenges. Global e-waste production is estimated to reach 82 million tons by 2030. Untreated e-waste results in hazardous emissions and the loss of valuable metal resources. In contrast, e-waste recovery offers twin benefits of mitigating environmental hazards and enabling sustainable resource utilization. Conventional technologies such as hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, biohydrometallurgy, and pyrolysis can be enhanced by green solvents such as ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs). These solvents provide favorable properties, including non-volatility, recyclability, and excellent thermal stability. DESs offer additional advantages of biodegradability, low toxicity, and affordability. This review covers the recent advancements in the utilization of ILs and DESs in metal extraction from e-waste. Assessments of ILs and DESs revealed high recoveries of critical metals, with recoveries of up to 100 % for Li, 99.6 % for Co, and over 95 % for Cu, Ni, and Au, under optimized conditions. However, challenges are in the recyclability and stability of ILs and DESs. Consequently, future research directions include pilot-scale validation, techno-economic assessments, and life-cycle analyses. Additionally, process integration and intensification are crucial for enhancing metal recovery from e-waste using these environmentally friendly solvents. These findings provide a basis for advancing green solvent-based metal recovery technologies.
电子废物(电子废物)数量的增加对环境和资源的可持续性提出了挑战。到2030年,全球电子垃圾产量预计将达到8200万吨。未经处理的电子废物会导致有害排放和宝贵金属资源的损失。相比之下,电子废物回收提供了减轻环境危害和实现可持续资源利用的双重好处。传统的湿法冶金、火法冶金、生物湿法冶金和热解等技术可以通过离子液体(ILs)和深共晶溶剂(DESs)等绿色溶剂得到改进。这些溶剂具有良好的性能,包括不挥发性、可回收性和优异的热稳定性。DESs还具有可生物降解性、低毒性和可负担性等优点。本文综述了近年来在从电子垃圾中提取金属中利用废液和废液的研究进展。结果表明,在优化条件下,Li的回收率可达100% %,Co的回收率可达99.6% %,Cu、Ni和Au的回收率可达95% %以上。然而,ILs和DESs的可回收性和稳定性存在挑战。因此,未来的研究方向包括中试验证、技术经济评估和生命周期分析。此外,过程集成和强化对于使用这些环保溶剂从电子废物中回收金属至关重要。这些发现为推进绿色溶剂型金属回收技术提供了基础。
