Abstract
The widespread use of pesticides that are inevitable to keep the production of food grains brings serious environmental pollution problems. Turning agricultural biomass/wastes into materials addressing the issues of pesticide contaminants is a feasible strategy to realize the reuse of wastes. Several works summarized the current applications of agricultural biomass/waste materials in the remediation of environmental pollutants. However, few studies systematically take the pesticides as an unitary target pollutant. This critical review comprehensively described the remediation effects of crop-derived waste (cereal crops, cash crops) and animal-derived waste materials on pesticide pollution. Adsorption is considered a superior and highlighted effect between pesticides and materials. The review generalized the sources, preparation, characterization, condition optimization, removal efficiency and influencing factors analysis of agricultural biomass/waste materials. Our work mainly emphasized the promising results in lab experiments, which helps to clarify the current application status of these materials in the field of pesticide remediation. In the meantime, rigorous pros and cons of the materials guide to understand the research trends more comprehensively. Overall, we hope to achieve a large-scale use of agricultural biomass/wastes.

Halba A, Arora P. Pine needle gasification-based electricity production: Understanding the effect of supply chain. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024:10.1007/s11356-024-33592-4. [PMID: 38743326 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33592-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Pine needles (pine tree leaves), found abundantly across continents such as North America, Asia, Europe, South America, Africa, and parts of the Southern Hemisphere, are a significant global concern due to their high susceptibility to catching fire, especially in dry and hot climates. The same issue persists in the Uttarakhand state of India, which boasts ample pine forests, yielding a substantial 1.67 × 109 kg of pine needles annually. In the present study, the annual potential emissions from forest fires in Uttarakhand were estimated to be 58.37 × 109 kg of CO2 equivalent. Therefore, the present research aims to unlock pine needles' potential via gasification for green electricity and biochar production, offering an alternative to coal-based plants while reducing forest fire frequencies. Nevertheless, obstacles hindering pine needle gasification include an unsteady supply chain, limited collection windows (100 days), and plant expenses, including transportation and operational costs. The primary focus of the research is to design and assess the performance of a gasification-based supply chain for pine needles in the Almora District of Uttarakhand. Ten plant capacity scenarios were considered, ranging from 25 to 250 kW. The study incorporated critical factors, encompassing diverse losses within the supply chain, selecting potential plant sites, minimizing transportation distance, and evaluating the supply chain's economic and environmental performance. The economic analysis revealed that the 250-kW plant scenario exhibited a minimum discounted payback period (DPP) of 3.93 years, alongside an internal rate of return (IRR) of 19% and a net present value (NPV) of 653.32 million INR without government subsidies. With subsidies included, the DPP decreased to 1.30 years, improving the IRR to 69% with an NPV of 916.17 million INR. The emission analysis indicated that gasification plant capacity scenarios could potentially reduce 44.63 × 106 to 46.16 × 106 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions annually compared to grid electricity while meeting nearly 5.5% of the electricity demand of Almora district. The present study aligns with SDG-7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG-13 (Climate Action), SDG-9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG-11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG-3 (Good Health and Well-being), and SDG-15 (Life on Land).

Abstract
The diminishing supply of fossil fuels, their detrimental environmental effects, and the challenges associated with the disposal of agro-waste necessitated the development of renewable and sustainable alternative energy sources. This study aims at developing bio-briquettes from Amaranthus hybridus waste, with cassava starch as a binder; both are agricultural wastes. Before and following delignification, alkali-treated Amaranthus hybridus (TAHB) and untreated (UAHB) briquettes were evaluated in terms of combustion and physicochemical parameters. FTIR and SEM were utilized to monitor the morphological transformation and bond restructuring of TAHB and UAHB samples. EDXRF was used to assess the Potential Toxic Elements (PTEs) composition and environmental friendliness of both TAHB and UAHB. Furthermore, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering machine learning models were used to optimize the production process and predict the efficiency of bio-briquettes. After delignification, a lower lignin value of 11.47 ± 0.00% in TAHB compared to 12.31 ± 0.01% (UAHB) was recorded. Calorific values of 10.43 ± 0.25 MJ kg-1 (UAHB) and 12.53 ± 0.30 MJ kg-1 (TAHB) were recorded at p < 0.05. EDXRF results showed a difference of 0.016% in Pb concentration in both samples. SEM reveals morphological restructuring, while FTIR reveals a 4 cm-1 difference in the C-O stretch. The root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and mean absolute error (MAE) gave values of 0.0249, 2.104, and, 0.0249; (MAE, training) and 0.0223 (MAE, testing) respectively. This shows that the model's predictions match the reality, thereby suggesting a strong agreement between the predicted and experimental data. The finding of this study shows that delignification-disruption improved the solid biofuel's ability to burn cleanly and sustainably.

Abstract
Production of coffee beans generates various types of biomass that can be applied as bioenergy for drying and roasting the beans. Thus, the aims of this study were to explore the characteristics of coffee biomass pellets (CBPs) produced from coffee cherry pulp (CCP), coffee parchment (CPM), and expired green coffee beans (ECB) by single and co-pelletization. The CBPs were then used to produce the synthesis gas in a downdraft gasifier, and the syngas properties were investigated for further heat applications. The results showed that single and co-pelletization of CCP and CPM performed well. The CBPs had good physiochemical properties in shape, size, and atomic ratios. The higher heating value and energy density of CBPs were 19.25-24.29 MJ/kg and 12.09-14.87 GJ/m3. The ash from CBPs was rich in K2O, CaO and MgO oxides, and the CPM ash had the lowest initial deformation temperature at 1136 °C. The ash samples from CBPs also had different slagging and fouling indexes. The syngas from CBPs mainly contained H2 (6.85-9.30%), CO (12.15-18.85%), and CO2 (10.85-13.75%). The heating value and tar concentration of syngas from CBPs were 3.24-4.32 MJ/m3 and 21.75-30.92 g/m3. The main chemical compounds in tar were styrene, phenol, caffeine, and pyrrole according to GC-MS. These results indicate that CCP and CPM have potential for pelletization and gasification to generate heat needed for coffee bean processing.

Abstract
The bioresource utilization of herbal biomass residues (HBRs) has been receiving more attention. Herein, three different HBRs from Isatidis Radix (IR) and Sophorae Flavescentis Radix (SFR) and Ginseng Radix (GR) were subjected to batch and fed-batch enzymatic hydrolysis to produce high-concentration glucose. Compositional analysis showed the three HBRs had substantial starch content (26.36-63.29%) and relatively low cellulose contents (7.85-21.02%). Due to their high starch content, the combined action of cellulolytic and amylolytic enzymes resulted in greater release of glucose from the raw HBRs compared to using the individual enzyme alone. Batch enzymatic hydrolysis of 10% (w/v) raw HBRs with low loadings of cellulase (≤ 10 FPU/g substrate) and amylolytic enzymes (≤ 5.0 mg/g substrate) led to a high glucan conversion of ≥ 70%. The addition of PEG 6000 and Tween 20 did not contribute to glucose production. Furthermore, to achieve higher glucose concentrations, fed-batch enzymatic hydrolysis was conducted using a total solid loading of 30% (w/v). After 48-h of hydrolysis, glucose concentrations of 125 g/L and 92 g/L were obtained for IR and SFR residues, respectively. GR residue yielded an 83 g/L glucose concentration after 96 h of digestion. The high glucose concentrations produced from these raw HBRs indicate their potential as ideal substrate for a profitable biorefinery. Notably, the obvious advantage of using these HBRs is the elimination of the pretreatment step, which is typically required for agricultural and woody biomass in similar studies.

Abstract
Nanocellulose shows potential as an effective natural adsorbent for removing harmful contaminants from wastewater. This paper describes the development of innovative nanocellulose thin films made of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), polyacrylic acid (PAA), and active carbon (AC) as adsorbent materials for absorbing azo dyes from wastewater. The CNCs were recovered from sugarcane bagasse using alkali treatment and acid hydrolysis. The composition and processing parameters of the thin films were optimized, and their adsorption capacity was determined using thermodynamic isotherms and adsorption kinetics. Adsorption characteristics such as the methylene blue (MB) dye concentration, contact time, temperature, and pH were investigated to determine how they affected adsorption. The results show that the adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. At an adsorbent mass of 50 mg, dye concentration of 50 ppm in 50 mL, and contact period of 120 min at 25 °C, the thin film comprising 64 wt% CNC, 16 wt% PAA, and 20 wt% AC showed high dye removal efficiency (86.3%) and adsorption capacity (43.15 mg/g). The MB removal efficiency increased to 95.56% and the adsorption capacity to 47.78 mg/g when the medium's pH was gradually increased from neutral to alkaline. The nontoxicity, low production cost, water stability, easy recovery, and high adsorption capacity of these membranes make them suitable for water treatment systems.

Abstract
This study proposed a novel and cost-effective approach to enhance and optimize the exo-polygalacturonase from P. indica, a root endophytic fungus. In the current investigation, the impact of ammonium sulfate, sugar beet pulp (SBP), and glucose as variables on induction of exo-polygalacturonase from P. indica was optimized using the central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM) under submerged fermentation (SmF). Additionally, determination of the exo-polygalacturonase molecular weight and in situ analysis was performed. The optimal reaction conditions, which resulted in the highest enzyme activity, were observed in the following conditions: ammonium sulfate (4 g/L), SBP (20 g/L), and glucose (60 g/L). Under the optimized condition, the maximum enzyme activity reached 19.4 U/ml (127 U/mg), which increased by 5.84 times compared to non-optimized conditions. The exo-polygalacturonase molecular weight was estimated at 60 KDa. In line with the bioinformatic analysis, the exo-polygalacturonase sequence of P. indica showed similarity with Rhizoctonia solani's and Thanateporus cucumeris. These results indicated that SBP acts as a cheap and suitable inducer of exo-polygalacturonase production by P. indica in submerged cultivation. The outcome of this study will be useful for industries to decrease environmental pollution with cost-effective approaches.

Abstract
The objective of current study is to explore the energy recovery potential of fermentation residues. In this perspective, pyrolysis characteristics, kinetics, and modified biochar derived from pine sawdust after fermentation (FPD) were determined, and comparison was established with pine sawdust (PD). The variation range of comprehensive pyrolysis index (CPI) values of FPD was found 6.51 × 10-7-16.38 × 10-7%2·min-2·°C-3, significantly higher than that of untreated samples determined under the same experimental conditions. The average activation energy of FPD was 367.95 kJ/mol, 389.45 kJ/mol, and 346.55 kJ/mol calculated by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) method, Kissinger-Akahira-Sonuse (KAS), and Starink method respectively, and importantly, these values are much higher than those of PD. Additionally, fermentation could enhance the adsorption capacity for methylene blue of biochar from 0.76 mg/g to 1.6 mg/g due to the abundant surface functional groups and three-dimensional internal pore structure. The adsorption pattern of fermented pine wood shifted from chemisorption dominated to the synergetic adsorption of surface functional groups adsorption and intragranular filling. These results show that FPD has favorable pyrolytic properties, and the derived biochar has adsorption properties, which is the basis for designing pyrolysis process and reusing fermentation residues. HIGHLIGHTS: The FPD has higher values of CPI and activation energy than the PD. FPD-derived biochar has higher adsorption capacity than PD-derived biochar. The fermentation improves the pyrolysis performance. The fermentation enhances adsorption capacity due to unique structure of biochar.
