Abstract
The major global concern on energy is focused on conventional fossil resources. The burning of fossil fuels is an origin of greenhouse gas emissions resulting in the utmost threat to the environment and subsequently which leads to global climate changes. As far as sustainability is concerned, fuels and materials derived from organic or plant wastes overcome this downside establishing the solution to the fossil resource crisis. In this context, exploration of agricultural residue appears to be a suitable alternative of non-renewable resources to support the environmental feasibility and meet the high energy crisis. The use of agricultural waste as a feedstock for the biorefinery approach emerges to be an eco-friendly process for the production of biofuel and value-added chemicals, intensifying energy security. Therefore, a prospective choice of this renewable biomass for the synthesis of green fuel and other green biochemicals comes up with a favorable outcome in terms of cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Exploiting different agricultural biomass and exploring various biomass conversion techniques, biorefinery generates bioenergy in a strategic way which eventually fits in a circular bioeconomy. Sources and production of agricultural waste are critically explained in this paper, which provides a path for further value addition by various technologies. Biorefinery solutions, along with a life cycle assessment of agricultural waste biomass toward a wide array of value-added products aiding the bioeconomy, are summarized in this paper.

Abstract
This study aims to examine the characteristics of two solid lignin fractions isolated from wheat straw using alkaline and acidic deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The chemical properties and morphological characteristics of the two lignin fractions were evaluated by measuring their purity, elemental composition, molecular weight and particle size distributions, and microstructure. Their chemical structure was evaluated using DRIFT (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform) spectroscopy, GPC (gel permeation chromatography), TGA (thermogravimetric analysis), 13C NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), 31P NMR, and HSQC NMR. Our findings showed that the lignin isolated using alkaline DESs was less pure and had a smaller particle size, higher molecular weight, and thermal stability compared to the lignin isolated using acidic DESs. Their lignin structure was also determined to be different due to varying selective fractures on the linkages of lignin. These results suggest that the DES treatments could selectively extract lignin from wheat straw with different yields, compositions, morphologies, and structures, which could then provide a theoretical basis for the selection of DESs for specially appointed lignin extraction.

Molina-Guerrero CE, Sanchez A, Vázquez-Núñez E. Energy potential of agricultural residues generated in Mexico and their use for butanol and electricity production under a biorefinery configuration. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 27:28607-28622. [PMID: 32285389 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-020-08430-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2019] [Accepted: 03/12/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In this article, the geographical location and availability of the most important crop residues generated in Mexico over the last 10 years (2008-2017) were determined. This study estimates the gross number of residues for the four most important cultivars in Mexico named conventional residues (CRs) such as corn, wheat, sorghum, and barley, and estimates were also made for regionally important crops identified as nonconventional residues (NCRs) such as coffee, sugarcane, and beans. The total and sustainable energy potentials (TEP and SEP) for agricultural residues were calculated, in similar way the butanol and electricity production potentials were also calculated if these residues were processed under a nonconventional biorefinery scheme; the calculated availability of crop residues was 59,059,666 t/year, thus demonstrating that Mexico could have great potential for bioenergy production. The estimated TEP was 1,787,241,249 PJ/year, and the SEP was 78,724,689 PJ/year. The production of butanol and its production cost were calculated for the main crop residues; the butanol volume ranged from 7348 to 161,610 t/day, and the volume of crops of regional importance ranged from 6461.9 to 151,389 t/day. The minimum butanol production cost was 2000 t/day of feedstock. The surplus electricity was determined for all crop residues.
