Macroalgae have been increasingly valorized in many applications due to their diverse biochemical composition and sustainable resource utilization. However, their residues are still undervalued even though they remain unexhausted and retain a broad spectrum of nutrients and molecules likely to be used in crop production as plant biostimulants and a...
The quality of microalgae-bacteria biomass as an organic soil fertilizer may depend on the biomass’s microbial composition, morphology, and growth history. This study aims to characterize the molecular complexity and bioaccessibility of organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus from microalgae-bacteria aggregates with different morphologies (flocs a...

Coffee husks are an abundant and underutilized biomass waste released from coffee production. Experimental analysis showed that coffee husks consisted of 39.2 ± 0.2 wt% cellulose, 12.6 ± 0.1 wt% hemicellulose, 23.3 ± 0.1 wt% Klason lignin, 2.9 ± 0.4 wt% acid-soluble lignin, 8.7 ± 0.2 wt% extractives, and 9.5 ± 0.2 wt% ash. Moreover, different minor...

Biofuel production from cellulosic biomass is a promising approach; however, the cost-intensive utilization of cellulolytic enzymes is a major roadblock to economic production. This study reports the preparation of a nanocatalyst using date seed and evaluates the impact of nanocatalysts on cellulolytic enzyme production using solid-state fermentati...
The significant role of green chemistry in circular economy projects will be discussed, with a particular emphasis on territorial approaches for waste and biomass valorization and the utilization of unconventional activation methods such as sonochemistry, microwave chemistry, and pressurized fluids. The presentation will showcase several examples o...

To solve low mass transfer in photocatalytic technology for water treatment, the combination of photoactive nanoparticles with highly adsorptive materials has been regarded as a successful approach. The optimization of photoactive particle coating in terms of dispersion on the surface of adsorbing support is the main key to reach a maximum synergis...

Utilizing lignocellulosic biomass wastes to produce bioproducts is essential to address the reliance on depleting fossil fuels. However, lignin is often treated as a low-value-added component in lignocellulosic wastes. Valorization of lignin into value-added products is crucial to improve the economic competitiveness of lignocellulosic biorefinery....

In Germany alone, more than 5·106 tons of municipal green waste is produced each year. So far, this material is not used in an economically worthwhile way. In this work, grass clippings and tree pruning as examples of municipal green waste were utilized as feedstock for the microbial production of platform chemicals. A pretreatment procedure depend...
