[PMID: 39067778 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2024.108418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
In response to address the climate crisis, there has been a growing focus on substituting conventional refinery-derived products with those derived from biorefineries. The utilization of lipids as primary materials or intermediates for the synthesis of chemicals and fuels, which are integral to the existing chemical and petrochemical industries, is a key step in this transition. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the production of sustainable chemicals (acids and alcohols), biopolymers, and fuels (including gasoline, kerosene, biodiesel, and heavy fuel oil) from lipids derived from terrestrial and algal biomass. The production of chemicals from lipids involves diverse methods, including polymerization, epoxidation, and separation/purification. Additionally, the transformation of lipids into biofuels can be achieved through processes such as catalytic cracking, hydroprocessing, and transesterification. This review also suggests future research directions that further advance the lipid valorization processes, including enhancement of catalyst durability at harsh conditions, development of deoxygenation process with low H2 consumption, investigation of precise separation of target compounds, increase in lipid accumulation in algal biomass, and development of methods that utilize residues and byproducts generated during lipid extraction and conversion.

Barla RJ, Raghuvanshi S, Gupta S. A comprehensive review of flue gas bio-mitigation: chemolithotrophic interactions with flue gas in bio-reactors as a sustainable possibility for technological advancements. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:33165-33189. [PMID: 38668951 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33407-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Flue gas mitigation technologies aim to reduce the environmental impact of flue gas emissions, particularly from industrial processes and power plants. One approach to mitigate flue gas emissions involves bio-mitigation, which utilizes microorganisms to convert harmful gases into less harmful or inert substances. The review thus explores the bio-mitigation efficiency of chemolithotrophic interactions with flue gas and their potential application in bio-reactors. Chemolithotrophs are microorganisms that can derive energy from inorganic compounds, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2), present in the flue gas. These microorganisms utilize specialized enzymatic pathways to oxidize these compounds and produce energy. By harnessing the metabolic capabilities of chemolithotrophs, flue gas emissions can be transformed into value-added products. Bio-reactors provide controlled environments for the growth and activity of chemolithotrophic microorganisms. Depending on the specific application, these can be designed as suspended or immobilized reactor systems. The choice of bio-reactor configuration depends on process efficiency, scalability, and ease of operation. Factors influencing the bio-mitigation efficiency of chemolithotrophic interactions include the concentration and composition of the flue gas, operating conditions (such as temperature, pH, and nutrient availability), and reactor design. Chemolithotrophic interactions with flue gas in bio-reactors offer a potentially efficient approach to mitigating flue gas emissions. Continued research and development in this field are necessary to optimize reactor design, microbial consortia, and operating conditions. Advances in understanding the metabolism and physiology of chemolithotrophic microorganisms will contribute to developing robust and scalable bio-mitigation technologies for flue gas emissions.

Abstract
Combustion of fossil fuels, industry and agriculture sectors are considered as the largest emitters of carbon dioxide. In fact, the emission of CO2 greenhouse gas has been considerably intensified during the last two decades, resulting in global warming and inducing variety of adverse health effects on human and environment. Calling for effective and green feedstocks to remove CO2, low-cost materials such as coal ashes "wastes-to-materials", have been considered among the interesting candidates of CO2 capture technologies. On the other hand, several techniques employing coal ashes as inorganic supports (e.g., catalytic reduction, photocatalysis, gas conversion, ceramic filter, gas scrubbing, adsorption, etc.) have been widely applied to reduce CO2. These processes are among the most efficient solutions utilized by industrialists and scientists to produce clean energy from CO2 and limit its continuous emission into the atmosphere. Herein, we review the recent trends and advancements in the applications of coal ashes including coal fly ash and bottom ash as low-cost wastes to reduce CO2 concentration through adsorption and catalysis processes. The chemical routes of structural modification and characterization of coal ash-based feedstocks are discussed in details. The adsorption and catalytic performance of the coal ashes derivatives towards CO2 selective reduction to CH4 are also described. The main objective of this review is to highlight the excellent capacity of coal fly ash and bottom ash to capture and selective conversion of CO2 to methane, with the aim of minimizing coal ashes disposal and their storage costs. From a practical view of point, the needs of developing new advanced technologies and recycling strategies might be urgent in the near future to efficient make use of coal ashes as new cleaner materials for CO2 remediation purposes, which favourably affects the rate of global warming.

[PMID: 38254224 PMCID: PMC10804497 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-024-02461-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
The development of microalgal biofuels is of significant importance in advancing the energy transition, alleviating food pressure, preserving the natural environment, and addressing climate change. Numerous countries and regions across the globe have conducted extensive research and strategic planning on microalgal bioenergy, investing significant funds and manpower into this field. However, the microalgae biofuel industry has faced a downturn due to the constraints of high costs. In the past decade, with the development of new strains, technologies, and equipment, the feasibility of large-scale production of microalgae biofuel should be re-evaluated. Here, we have gathered research results from the past decade regarding microalgae biofuel production, providing insights into the opportunities and challenges faced by this industry from the perspectives of microalgae selection, modification, and cultivation. In this review, we suggest that highly adaptable microalgae are the preferred choice for large-scale biofuel production, especially strains that can utilize high concentrations of inorganic carbon sources and possess stress resistance. The use of omics technologies and genetic editing has greatly enhanced lipid accumulation in microalgae. However, the associated risks have constrained the feasibility of large-scale outdoor cultivation. Therefore, the relatively controllable cultivation method of photobioreactors (PBRs) has made it the mainstream approach for microalgae biofuel production. Moreover, adjusting the performance and parameters of PBRs can also enhance lipid accumulation in microalgae. In the future, given the relentless escalation in demand for sustainable energy sources, microalgae biofuels should be deemed a pivotal constituent of national energy planning, particularly in the case of China. The advancement of synthetic biology helps reduce the risks associated with genetically modified (GM) microalgae and enhances the economic viability of their biofuel production.

Abstract
How to reduce microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystem has become the focus of the global attention. The re-removal of microplastics of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent is gradually being put on the agenda. Recently, algae have been used as an ecofriendly remediation strategy for microplastic removal. Microplastics in sewage can be removed by algae through interception, capture, and entanglement, and can also form heterogeneous aggregates with algae, thereby reducing their free suspensions. Algae can recover nitrogen and carbon from wastewater and can be made into biochar, biofertilizers, and biofuels. However, problematically, this technology has been in the laboratory research stage, and existing research results cannot provide effective basis for its application. Microplastic removal via algae is influenced by wastewater flow rate, microplastic types, and pollutants. Microplastics are only physically fixed by algae, and ensuring that microplastics do not re-enter the environment during resource and capacity recovery is also a key factor limiting the implementation of this technology. The topic of this paper is to discuss the performance of the current tertiary wastewater treatment process - algae process to remove microplastics. Algae can remove nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants in sewage and remove microplastics at the same time, which can realize energy recovery and reduce ecological risks of the effluent. Although algae combined tertiary sewage treatment is a green technology for microplastic removal, its application still needs to be explored. The key challenges that need to be addressed, from single laboratory conditions to complex conditions, from small-scale testing to large-scale simulations, lie ahead of the application of this friendly technology.

Abstract
Wastewater treatment technology based on algae-bacteria successfully combines pollutant purification, CO2 reduction and clean energy production to provide new insights into climate solutions. In this study, the reciprocal mechanisms between algae and bacteria were explored through physiological and biochemical levels of algae cells and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) based on the performance of immobilized algae-bacteria symbiotic particles (ABSPs) for CO2 fixation. The results showed that ABSPs promoted the CO2 fixation capacity of microalgae. The enhanced growth capacity and photosynthetic activity of algal cells in ABSPs are key to promoting CO2 uptake, and the stimulation of photosynthetic system and the promotion of Calvin cycle were the main contributors to enhanced carbon sequestration. These findings will provide guidance for carbon reduction using immobilized ABSS as well as deciphering the algae-bacteria reciprocal mechanism.

Abstract
The ever-increasing concern for energy shortages and greenhouse effect has triggered the development of sustainable green technologies. Microalgae have received more attention due to the characteristics of biofuel production and CO2 fixation. From the perspective of autotrophic growth, the optimization of light quality has the potential to promote biomass production and bio-component accumulation in microalgae at low cost. In this study, bibliometric analysis was used to describe the basic features, identify the hotspots, and predict future trends of the research related to the light quality on microalgae cultivation. In addition, a mini-review referring to regulation methods of light quality was provided to optimize the framework of research. Results demonstrated that China has the greatest interest in this area. The destination of most research was to obtain biofuels and high-value-added products. Both blue and red lights were identified as the crucial spectrums for microalgae cultivation. However, sunlight is the most affordable light resource, which could not be fully utilized by microalgae through the photosynthetic process. Hence, some regulation approaches (e.g., dyes, plasmonic scattering, and carbon-based quantum dots) are proposed to increase the proportion of beneficial spectrum for enhancement of photosynthetic efficiency. In summary, this review introduces state-of-the-art research and provides theoretical guidance for light quality optimization in microalgae cultivation to obtain more benefits.

Abstract
In the context of global demand for carbon reduction, the formation of inorganic carbon (IC) in the wastewater from oil flooding becomes a potential threat. In this study, Chlorella sp. and Fusarium sp. were used to assemble a fungal-algal pellet to degrade polyacrylamide (PAM) and fix IC in synthetic oil-flooding wastewater. The results showed that the combination of Chlorella sp. and Fusarium sp. was more effective at degrading PAM and removing carbon than a monoculture. With PAM as the sole nitrogen source, the degradation of PAM by the consortium was enhanced up to 35.17 ± 0.86% and 21.63 ± 2.23% compared with the monocultures of fungi or microalgae, respectively. The degradation of the consortium was significantly enhanced by the addition of an external nitrogen source by up to 27.17 ± 2.27% and 22.86 ± 2.4% compared with the monoculture of fungi or microalgae, respectively. This may depend on the effect of synergy between the two species. For the removal of IC from the water, the removal efficiency of the consortium was higher than that of the microalgae by 38.5 ± 0.08%, which may be attributed to the ability of the fungi to aid in the adsorption of nutrients and its assimilation by the microalgae. Therefore, the Fusarium-Chlorella consortium can effectively degrade PAM, while simultaneously fixing carbon, which provides a feasible scheme for the treatment and carbon neutralization of the wastewater that contains PAM.

Abstract
Microalgae are promising alternatives to mitigate atmospheric CO2 owing to their fast growth rates, resilience in the face of adversity and ability to produce a wide range of products, including food, feed supplements, chemicals, and biofuels. However, to fully harness the potential of microalgae-based carbon capture technology, further advancements are required to overcome the associated challenges and limitations, particularly with regards to enhancing CO2 solubility in the culture medium. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the biological carbon concentrating mechanism and highlights the current approaches, including species selection, optimization of hydrodynamics, and abiotic components, aimed at improving the efficacy of CO2 solubility and biofixation. Moreover, cutting-edge strategies such as gene mutation, bubble dynamics and nanotechnology are systematically outlined to elevate the CO2 biofixation capacity of microalgal cells. The review also evaluates the energy and economic feasibility of using microalgae for CO2 bio-mitigation, including challenges and prospects for future development.

Abstract
Continuous increase in the level of atmospheric CO2 and environmental contaminates has aggravated various threats resulting from environmental pollution and climate change. Research into plant -microbe interaction has been a central concern of ecology for over the year. However, despite the clear contribution of plant -microbe to the global carbon cycle, the role of plant -microbe interaction in carbon pools, fluxes and emerging contaminants (ECs) removal are still a poorly understood. The use of plant and microbes in ECs removal and carbon cycling is an attractive strategy because microbes operate as biocatalysts to remove contaminants and plant roots offer a rich niche for their growth and carbon cycling. However, bio-mitigation of CO2 and removal of ECs is still under research phase because of the CO2 capture and fixation efficiency is too low for industrial purposes and cutting-edge removal methods have not been created for such emerging contaminants.
