Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) were isolated from a novel source, edamame husks (Glycine max L. Merrill), and their physicochemical properties were comprehensively characterized. Cellulose was initially extracted via alkali treatment and bleaching (Crystallinity Index 61.47 %) before being subjected to TEMPO-mediated oxidation to introduce carboxyl groups and facilitate nano-fibrillation. The resulting CNF exhibited a high aspect ratio with an average diameter of 4.936 nm (at 45 min oxidation). Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the effective removal of non-cellulosic components, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed a decrease in crystallinity to 45.68 % following oxidation, indicating structural modification of the cellulose framework. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed a reduction in thermal stability for CNF compared to the original cellulose, consistent with the introduction of functional groups and reduced fiber dimensions. To demonstrate the utility of the CNF as a functional biomaterial, composite membranes were fabricated with natural rubber latex (NRL). This modification successfully shifted the surface properties from hydrophilic (Water Contact Angle 61.5°) to hydrophobic (Water Contact Angle 125.5°). This study elucidates the chemical and structural properties of CNF derived from edamame husks, highlighting its potential as a promising sustainable nanomaterial for advanced applications.

从毛豆壳（Glycine max L. Merrill）中分离得到纤维素纳米纤维（CNF），并对其理化性质进行了全面表征。首先通过碱处理和漂白提取纤维素（结晶度指数为61.47%），然后进行tempo介导的氧化以引入羧基并促进纳米纤颤。所得CNF具有较高的长径比，平均直径为4.936 nm（氧化45 min）。傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）证实了非纤维素成分的有效去除，而x射线衍射（XRD）分析显示，氧化后纤维素的结晶度降至45.68%，表明纤维素框架的结构改性。热重分析（TGA）表明，与原始纤维素相比，CNF的热稳定性降低，这与引入官能团和减少纤维尺寸一致。为了证明CNF作为功能性生物材料的实用性，我们用天然胶乳（NRL）制作了复合膜。该修饰成功地将表面性质从亲水性（水接触角61.5°）转变为疏水性（水接触角125.5°）。这项研究阐明了从毛豆壳中提取的CNF的化学和结构特性，强调了它作为一种有前途的可持续纳米材料的潜力。

The paper presents a techno-economic analysis assessing two different configurations of a hydrothermal technology processing 10 kt/y of sewage sludge (23 %_w solids) from municipal wastewater treatment as an alternative to their current fate mainly consisting in incineration or landfilling.

The process carries out a hydrothermal carbonization of sludges (210 °C, 34.5 bar, 35 min) producing hydrochar, and a liquid stream with lower organic content. Mass and energy balance closure and preliminary sizing have been performed in Matlab® environment, estimating capital and operating plant costs to calculate a levelized costs for sludge treatment.

Two process configurations have been assessed: Configuration A features a hydrothermal process treating the entire sewage sludge flowrate. In Configuration B, a split fraction of the sludge flow rate is sent to the hydrothermal process to produce the same amount of biochar for combustion as Configuration A, however the remaining sludge stream is sent to co-combustion reducing HTC wastewater recirculated to the water treatment plant. In both configurations A and B, HTC enables a reduction in primary energy consumption related to natural gas use, as well as lower fossil CO₂ emissions compared to direct incineration (−68.3 % and −35.3 % respectively). The levelized cost of sludge treatment remains below 97.40 €/ton and can decrease to 48.37 €/ton in case of no disposal costs for excess biochar.

The work includes the design of a dedicated unit for off-gas treatment; moreover, both configurations have been assessed in terms of primary energy consumption and fossil CO₂ emissions.

本文提出了一项技术经济分析，评估了水热技术的两种不同配置，该技术处理10 kt/年来自城市污水处理的污水污泥（23% w固体），作为其目前主要由焚烧或填埋组成的命运的替代方案。该工艺对污泥进行水热碳化（210°C, 34.5 bar, 35 min），产生碳氢化合物和有机含量较低的液体流。在Matlab®环境中进行了质量和能量平衡关闭和初步分级，估算了资本和运营工厂的成本，以计算污泥处理的平均成本。对两种工艺配置进行了评估：配置A采用水热工艺处理整个污水污泥流量。在配置B中，污泥流量的分馏部分被送至水热工艺，产生与配置a相同数量的生物炭用于燃烧，但剩余的污泥流被送至共燃烧，减少HTC废水再循环到水处理厂。在A和B两种配置中，HTC都可以减少与天然气使用相关的一次能源消耗，并且与直接焚烧相比，化石二氧化碳排放量分别降低了- 68.3%和- 35.3%。污泥处理的平准化成本保持在97.40€/吨以下，在没有多余生物炭处理成本的情况下，污泥处理的平准化成本可降至48.37€/吨。工作内容包括废气处理专用装置的设计；此外，还从一次能源消耗和化石二氧化碳排放的角度对这两种配置进行了评估。

Biomass gasification in fluidized-bed reactors is an important process for producing carbon-neutral producer gas that can be used for power generation or as source of hydrogen-rich chemical feedstocks. Significant research has focused on studying biomass gasification using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling tools. This review provides a comprehensive overview of CFD modeling techniques that have been employed to simulate gas-solid particulate behavior, including the Two-Fluid Model (TFM), Discrete Element Method (DEM), and Multiphase Particle-in-Cell (MP-PIC) method, as well as turbulence and drag models. The MP-PIC approach is recommended for simulating biomass gasification in large-scale fluidized-bed reactors without the need for high-resolution grids, making it computationally efficient. Additionally, the review critically analyzes thermochemical sub-models, including drying, pyrolysis, char gasification, and gas-phase reactions, along with the corresponding reaction mechanisms, rate expressions, and reacting particle models. This review focuses on key challenges in CFD modeling of fluidized-bed biomass gasifiers, including the lack of reliable kinetic parameters and stoichiometry for diverse biomass feedstocks. Finally, this review outlines recommendations for future research aimed at improving the accuracy for CFD models of biomass gasification in fluidized beds.

The growing bioeconomy calls for innovative valorization of agro-industrial residues through integrated biorefineries. Mango processing in Brazil generates nearly half of the fruit mass as residues, including peel, kernel, and seed coat, which can be converted into high-value bioproducts. This study developed and assessed a Mango Industrial Biorefinery Layout (MIBL) integrating pulp, starch, pectin, lignin, and cellulose recovery. A techno-economic analysis (TEA) and an ex-ante life cycle assessment (LCA) were conducted at industrial scale for three baseline configurations (MIBL A, B, and C) and three alternative scenarios derived from the most balanced option (MIBL B). Results showed that mango pulp dominated revenues, while pectin recovery was the most capital-intensive stage due to freeze-drying, representing over 30 % of equipment costs. The Direct Fixed Capital ranged from USD 71 to 91 million, and Net Present Values remained negative under Brazilian conditions, highlighting limited feasibility. Environmental hotspots were concentrated in pectin extraction (solvent and acid use driving climate change, toxicity, and water use impacts) and lignin/cellulose recovery (effluent discharges causing eutrophication). Alternative layouts significantly improved feasibility. MIBL B3 (pulp + starch) achieved positive NPVs under 20–30 % margins at discount rates of 3–5 %, while MIBL B1 (pulp + starch + lignin/cellulose) also reached viability under favorable conditions. By contrast, MIBL B2 (pulp + starch + pectin) remained unprofitable due to excessive capital intensity. Simplified mango biorefinery layouts provide more realistic short-term strategies for emerging economies, while integrated configurations will require technological innovation, solvent reduction, and policy incentives to align economic and environmental goals.

不断增长的生物经济要求通过综合生物精炼厂对农工残留物进行创新增值。在巴西，芒果加工过程中产生的果皮、果仁和种皮等近一半的果实残渣可以转化为高价值的生物产品。本研究开发并评估了芒果工业生物炼制布局（MIBL），整合了纸浆、淀粉、果胶、木质素和纤维素的回收。在工业规模上，对三种基线配置（MIBL A、B和C）和从最平衡选项（MIBL B）衍生的三种备选方案进行了技术经济分析（TEA）和事前生命周期评估（LCA）。结果表明，芒果果肉主要收入，而果胶回收是最资本密集的阶段，由于冷冻干燥，占设备成本的30%以上。直接固定资本从7100万美元到9100万美元不等，在巴西的条件下，净现值仍然为负，这表明可行性有限。环境热点集中在果胶提取（溶剂和酸的使用导致气候变化、毒性和用水影响）和木质素/纤维素回收（污水排放导致富营养化）。可选布局显著提高了可行性。MIBL B3（纸浆+淀粉）以3 - 5%的折扣率在20 - 30%的利润率下实现了正的npv，而MIBL B1（纸浆+淀粉+木质素/纤维素）在有利条件下也达到了活力。相比之下，由于资本密集度过高，MIBL B2（纸浆+淀粉+果胶）仍然无利可图。简化的芒果生物炼制布局为新兴经济体提供了更现实的短期战略，而综合配置将需要技术创新、溶剂减少和政策激励来协调经济和环境目标。

Thermochemical processing of plastic produces waste oil that contains hydrocarbon contaminants which pose significant threat to the environment. This study evaluates the effect of waste plastic pyrolytic oil (PPO) on the cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris FSP-E microalgae. Results showed that the treatment group T1 had less effect on the specific growth rate and biomass concentration of 0.246 ± 0.001 μ/day and 1.218 ± 0.003 g/L, respectively. While, the control showed higher specific growth rate and biomass concentration of 0.469 ± 0.001 μ/day and 2.067 ± 0.005 g/L, respectively. H₂O₂ analysis and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances of PPO treated cells indicated that higher concentration of PPO led to oxidative stress that adversely impacts the growth of Chlorella vulgaris FSP-E microalgae. In addition, the presence of PPO in the cultivation medium of Chlorella vulgaris FSP-E significantly influenced the biochemical composition of microalgae biomass. Machine learning models using k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) were also carried out to predict the biochemical composition using experimental value as the primary inputs. Among the evaluated models, k-NN demonstrated high predictive accuracy, achieving R² values of 0.9827, 0.9874, and 0.9561 for carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, respectively, in the testing dataset. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS) analysis indicated that the residue removed from T1 after cultivation showed an increased linoleic acid content of 69.78 %, which may serve as a biomarker for hydrocarbon remediation. This research demonstrated the feasibility of integrating microalgae cultivation as a phycoremediation approach to mitigate hydrocarbon pollutants.

塑料的热化学处理产生的废油含有碳氢化合物污染物，对环境构成重大威胁。研究了废塑料热解油（PPO）对小球藻FSP-E微藻培养的影响。结果表明：T1处理组对比生长率和生物量影响较小，分别为0.246±0.001 μ/d和1.218±0.003 g/L；对照的比生长率和生物量分别为0.469±0.001 μ/d和2.067±0.005 g/L。过氧化氢分析和硫代巴比妥酸活性物质分析表明，较高浓度的PPO导致氧化应激，对小球藻FSP-E微藻生长产生不利影响。此外，小球藻FSP-E培养基中PPO的存在显著影响了微藻生物量的生化组成。使用k-最近邻（k-NN）和支持向量回归（SVR）的机器学习模型，以实验值作为主要输入来预测生化成分。在评估的模型中，k-NN表现出较高的预测精度，在测试数据集中，碳水化合物、脂类和蛋白质的R2分别为0.9827、0.9874和0.9561。气相色谱-质谱（GCMS）分析表明，T1培养后去除的残渣亚油酸含量增加了69.78%，可作为碳氢化合物修复的生物标志物。本研究证明了将微藻培养作为一种生物修复方法来缓解碳氢化合物污染物的可行性。

Red seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii), an abundant marine biomass widely cultivated in Southeast Asia, represents a renewable feedstock for developing bio-based materials within the bio-circular economy framework. Despite its high polysaccharide content, films derived from K. alvarezii often suffer from poor mechanical strength, low thermal stability, and high moisture sensitivity, limiting their use in packaging. To address these challenges, bio-nanocomposite films were fabricated via solvent casting by reinforcing the seaweed matrix with silica nanoparticles (SNPs) at loadings of 0–7 wt%. The SNPs were first characterized for particle size and morphology to ensure uniform dispersion. Comprehensive analyses, including tensile testing, contact angle measurement, SEM, FTIR, TGA, DTG, and DSC were conducted to establish structure–property relationships. Optimal incorporation of 5 wt% SNPs enhanced film performance, delivering a tensile strength of 41.10 MPa (p < 0.001) and a water contact angle of 80.66°, reflecting statistically validated improvements in structural integrity and hydrophobicity. The elongation at break decreased from 45.39 % (control) to 32.32 % at 5 wt% SNP, suggesting reduced flexibility, while the water vapor permeability decreased from 1.23 × 10⁻⁹ to 1.14 × 10⁻⁹ g m/m²·s·Pa, demonstrating improved moisture barrier performance. Thermal analysis confirmed higher onset degradation temperatures and increased char yield in SNP-reinforced films, while excessive loading (7 wt%) led to agglomeration and property decline. The results highlight the potential of K. alvarezii-based nanocomposites as sustainable, low-carbon alternatives to petroleum-derived plastics, offering a viable biomass utilization pathway for eco-friendly industrial packaging applications in Southeast Asia's emerging bio-based industry.

红藻（Kappaphycus alvarezii）是东南亚广泛种植的丰富的海洋生物质，是生物循环经济框架下发展生物基材料的可再生原料。尽管其多糖含量很高，但从K. alvarezii中提取的薄膜往往存在机械强度差、热稳定性低和水分敏感性高的问题，限制了它们在包装中的应用。为了解决这些问题，通过溶剂铸造，在海藻基质中添加0-7 wt%的二氧化硅纳米颗粒（SNPs）来增强生物纳米复合膜。首先对SNPs进行粒度和形态表征，以确保均匀分散。综合分析，包括拉伸测试、接触角测量、SEM、FTIR、TGA、DTG和DSC来建立结构-性能关系。5 wt% SNPs的最佳掺入提高了膜的性能，拉伸强度达到41.10 MPa (p < 0.001)，水接触角达到80.66°，反映了统计验证的结构完整性和疏水性的改善。在5 wt% SNP下，断裂伸长率从45.39%（对照）下降到32.32%，表明柔韧性降低，而水蒸气渗透率从1.23 × 10−9 g m/m2·s·Pa下降到1.14 × 10−9 g m/m2·s·Pa，表明隔湿性能有所提高。热分析证实，snp增强膜的起始降解温度较高，炭产率增加，而过载（7 wt%）导致团聚和性能下降。研究结果强调了K. alvarezii基纳米复合材料作为石油衍生塑料的可持续、低碳替代品的潜力，为东南亚新兴生物基工业的环保工业包装应用提供了一条可行的生物质利用途径。

As countries pursue decarbonization, food waste management has become a growing policy priority. Anaerobic digestion enables the biogasification of food waste while simultaneously generating renewable energy and environmental co-benefits. This study examines the preferences of South Korean residents for food-waste biogas facilities using a choice experiment administered to 521 households through a stratified online survey. A mixed logit model was employed to analyse the choice data and estimate marginal willingness to pay while capturing unobserved preference heterogeneity. Results show strong preferences for electricity generation and salient environmental co-benefits—such as emission reduction and improved energy self-sufficiency—with industrial zones and urban outskirts preferred over agricultural areas, reflecting a clear urban-oriented siting preference. Quantitatively, electricity generation received the strongest marginal valuation (MWTP 205.9 KRW/year), followed by notable preferences for emissions reduction and improved waste-processing efficiency. Concurrently, disposal cost emerged as the dominant determinant of choices, and substantial heterogeneity across siting and environmental attributes revealed a distinct behavioural hierarchy in residents' preference structure. Scenario simulations further show that combining non-agricultural siting with salient co-benefits can maintain public support even under higher disposal costs. The findings highlight the need to align food waste anaerobic digestion system design with residents’ preference structures to ensure socially acceptable and feasible deployment in land-constrained and energy-import-dependent countries such as South Korea.

随着各国追求脱碳，食物垃圾管理已成为日益重要的政策重点。厌氧消化使食物垃圾的生物气化，同时产生可再生能源和环境的共同效益。本研究通过分层在线调查，对521个家庭进行了选择实验，考察了韩国居民对食物垃圾沼气设施的偏好。采用混合logit模型分析选择数据并估计边际支付意愿，同时捕捉未观察到的偏好异质性。结果显示，人们对发电和显著的环境协同效益（如减排和提高能源自给自足）有强烈的偏好，工业园区和城市郊区比农业区更受青睐，反映出明显的城市导向选址偏好。从数量上看，发电的边际价值最高（MWTP为205.9韩元/年），其次是减少排放和提高废物处理效率的显著偏好。同时，处置成本成为居民选择的主要决定因素，而选址和环境属性之间的巨大异质性揭示了居民偏好结构中明显的行为层次。情景模拟进一步表明，即使在较高的处置成本下，将非农业选址与显著的协同效益结合起来也能保持公众的支持。研究结果强调，需要将食物垃圾厌氧消化系统的设计与居民的偏好结构结合起来，以确保在土地有限和能源依赖进口的国家（如韩国）得到社会接受和可行的部署。

The global breeding industry faces a protein supply shortage. Glutamate mother liquor bioconversion slurry (GMLBS), a high amino acid protein slurry, is a proteinal soybean meal alternative. However, the safety and commercial value of GMLBS as a novel protein feed require validation. This study assessed the safety of GMLBS and its effects on mice health when replacing soybean meal in their diet. The study began by monitoring the behavior and growth of mice after administering different ratios of GMLBS. Different GMLBS ratios replaced soybean meal in the diet, where growth performance and nutrient digestibility were observed. Results showed that GMLBS is safe, with no adverse effects. It enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities, immune levels, while reducing inflammation. GMLBS increased the relative abundance of Saccharomyces and Wickerhamomyces while reducing Staphylococcus. Meanwhile, it affects the ascorbate and aldarate metabolism pathways. GMLBS effectively enhances the health of mice, particularly when it replaces 60 % of soybean meal in the basal diet. These results demonstrate the viability and benefits of GMLBS as a novel protein feed, offering a potential solution to monosodium glutamate wastewater pollution and the global shortage of protein resources.

全球养殖业面临蛋白质供应短缺。谷氨酸母液生物转化浆（GMLBS）是一种高氨基酸蛋白浆，是一种蛋白质豆粕替代品。然而，转基因lbs作为一种新型蛋白质饲料的安全性和商业价值需要验证。本研究评估了转基因lbs在小鼠饮食中替代豆粕时的安全性及其对小鼠健康的影响。该研究首先通过监测小鼠在给予不同比例的GMLBS后的行为和生长情况。研究了饲粮中不同GMLBS比例替代豆粕的生长性能和营养物质消化率。结果表明，GMLBS是安全的，无不良反应。增强抗氧化酶活性，提高免疫水平，同时减少炎症。GMLBS增加了酵母菌和Wickerhamomyces的相对丰度，减少了葡萄球菌的相对丰度。同时，它影响抗坏血酸和醛酸盐的代谢途径。GMLBS能有效地改善小鼠的健康状况，特别是当它取代基础日粮中60%的豆粕时。这些结果表明，GMLBS作为一种新型蛋白质饲料的可行性和效益，为解决味精废水污染和全球蛋白质资源短缺提供了潜在的解决方案。
