The water-soluble fraction of extracellular polymeric substances from a resource recovery demonstration plant: characterization and potential application as an adhesive.

[PMID: 38468850 PMCID: PMC10925790 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1331120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Currently, there is a growing interest in transforming wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) into resource recovery plants. Microorganisms in aerobic granular sludge produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which are considered sustainable resources to be extracted and can be used in diverse applications. Exploring applications in other high-value materials, such as adhesives, will not only enhance the valorization potential of the EPS but also promote resource recovery. This study aimed to characterize a water-soluble fraction extracted from the EPS collected at the demonstration plant in the Netherlands based on its chemical composition (amino acids, sugar, and fatty acids) and propose a proof-of-concept for its use as an adhesive. This fraction comprises a mixture of biomolecules, such as proteins (26.6 ± 0.3%), sugars (21.8 ± 0.2%), and fatty acids (0.9%). The water-soluble fraction exhibited shear strength reaching 36-51 kPa across a pH range of 2-10 without additional chemical treatment, suggesting a potential application as an adhesive. The findings from this study provide insights into the concept of resource recovery and the valorization of excess sludge at WWTPs.

Abstract
The construction of fully bio-based epoxy resins (EP) has been of particular interest in both academia and industrial circles for years; among these, epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) derived thermosets have received the most attention, but they usually exhibit poor performance due to their flexible fatty chains. Herein, tannic acid (TA), with its great degree of functionality and massive aromatic structures, was chosen as the multi-phenol curing agent for ESO to prepare fully bio-based EP thermosets with a high relaxation temperature and satisfactory mechanical properties. As a natural 2-substituted imidazole-containing substance, histidine (H) was used as the curing accelerator under moderate curing conditions (120-180 °C). This EP system showed high curing activity and a good curing degree while operating. The cured thermosets were found to be thermally stable (T 5% > 270 °C) and displayed a high relaxation temperature (77 °C) with a tensile strength of 23 MPa. Preliminary adhesion tests showed that the cured product exhibited a high lap-shear strength of about 19 MPa in adhesion failure mode. Taking these advantages into account, this kind of fully bio-based EP could introduce more chances for versatile applications, such as being used in structural materials and construction adhesives.

Abstract
The present work aimed at developing fully green composites from renewable materials, i.e., acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) by a solution casting method. The reinforcing effect of MCC on AESO resins was optimized by adjusting MCC loading from 20 to 40 wt % in terms of physical, mechanical, and thermal properties as well as water absorption of the resulting MCC/AESO composites. The interaction between MCC and AESO was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, which revealed possible hydrogen bonds between the ⁻OH groups of MCC along with the polar components of AESO including C=O, ⁻OH, and epoxy groups. This was further evidenced by a benign interfacial adhesion between MCC and AESO resins as revealed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. The incorporation of MCC into AESO resins significantly increased the density, hardness, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of the MCC/AESO composites, indicative of a significant reinforcing effect of MCC on AESO resins. The composite with 30 wt % MCC obtained the highest physical and mechanical properties due to the good dispersion and interfacial interaction between MCC and AESO matrix; the density, hardness, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of the composite were 15.7%, 25.0%, 57.2%, and 129.7% higher than those of pure AESO resin, respectively. However, the water resistance at room temperature and 100 °C of the composites were dramatically decreased due to the inherent hydrophilicity of MCC.
