Abstract
Adoption of circular practices within environmental management is gaining worldwide recognition owing to rapid resource depletion and detrimental effects of climate change. The present study therefore attempted to ascertain the linkages between circular economy (CE) and sustainable development (SD) by examining the role of renewable energy (RE) and waste management (WM) sectors in CE combined with policy setup and enabling frameworks boosting the influx of circularity principles in the Indian context. Results revealed that research dedicated towards energy recovery from waste in India lacks integration with SD. Findings also revealed that although India is extremely dedicated towards attainment of the SDGs, penetration of CE principles within administration requires considerable efforts especially since WM regulations for municipal, plastic and e-waste lack alignment with CE principles. Integration of WM and RE policies under an umbrella CE policy would provide further impetus to the attainment of circularity and SD within the Indian economy.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 700:134440. [PMID: 31655454 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.134440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2019] [Revised: 09/10/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
This study focused on applying batch and continuous co-digestion approaches to investigate the effects of a feedstock mixture (FM) constituted by ten Mediterranean feedstocks highly available in the Mediterranean area (i.e., olive pomace, olive mill wastewater, citrus pulp, poultry litter, poultry and cattle manure, whey and cereal straw) on methane production for bioenergy generation. For the same feedstock mixture (FM), two different anaerobic digestion (AD) tests were carried out to evaluate the possible inhibitory effects of some biomasses on the biological process. The first AD test showed a methane yield equal to 229 Nm3CH4/tVS (27% lower than that measured during the batch test). During the second AD test, the specific production was 272 m3CH4/tVS. Both tests showed a similar methane content of methane in the biogas, equal to about 57%. The first AD test showed an inhibition effect of the process: total conversion of the organic matter into biogas was not ended. The second batch test demonstrated that the selected FM could be viable to carry out the co-digestion and could provide a flexible solution to generate advanced biofuels in biogas plants located in the Mediterranean area.

Effect of Carbon/Nitrogen Ratio, Temperature, and Inoculum Source on Hydrogen Production from Dark Codigestion of Fruit Peels and Sewage Sludge. SUSTAINABILITY 2019.

Abstract
This paper studies the use of fruit peel biomass and waste sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Mexico as an alternative way of generating renewable energy. Using a Plackett–Burman experimental design, we investigated the effects of temperature, inoculum source, and the C/N (Carbon/Nitrogen) ratio on dark fermentation (DF). The results indicate that it is possible to produce hydrogen using fruit peels codigested with sewage sludge. By adjusting the C/N ratio in response to the physicochemical characterization of the substrates, it was revealed that the quantities of carbohydrates and nitrogen were sufficient for the occurrence of the fermentation process with biogas production greater than 2221 ± 5.8 mL L−1Reactor and hydrogen selectivity of 23% (366 ± 1 mL H2·L−1Reactor) at the central point. The kinetic parameters (Hmax= 86.6 mL·L−1, Rm = 2.6 mL L−1 h−1, and λ = 1.95 h) were calculated using the modified Gompertz model. The quantification of soluble metabolites, such as acetic acid (3600 mg L−1) and ethyl alcohol (3.4 ± 0.25% v/v), confirmed the presence of acetogenesis in the generation of hydrogen.

Abstract
An identified cold-adaptive, organic solvents-tolerant alkaline α-amylase (HP664) from Catenovulum sp. strain X3 was heterologously expressed and characterized in E. coli, and it was further applied to starch saccharification for biohydrogen production. The recombinant HP664 belongs to a member of glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13), with a molecular weight of 69.6kDa without signal peptides, and also shares a relatively low similarity (49%) to other reported amylases. Biochemical characterization demonstrated that the maximal enzymatic activity of HP664 was observed at 35°C and pH 9.0. Most metal ions inhibited its activity; however, low polar organic solvents (e.g., benzene and n-hexane) could enhance the activity by 35-50%. Additionally, HP664 also exhibited the catalytic capability on various polysaccharides, including potato starch, amylopectin, dextrin and agar. In order to increase the bioavailability of starch for H2 production, HP664 was utilized to elevate fermentable oligosaccharide level, and the results revealed that the maximal hydrolytic percentage of starch was up to 44% with 12h of hydrolysis using 5.63U of HP664. Biohydrogen fermentation of the starch hydrolysate by Clostridium sp. strain G1 yielded 297.7mL of H2 after 84h of fermentation, which is 3.73-fold higher than the control without enzymatic treatment of HP664.

Abstract
In this work, hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose content of palm kernel cake (PKC) by different types of hydrolytic enzymes was studied to evaluate monomeric sugars released for production of biobutanol by Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 (ATCC 13564) in acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation. Experimental results revealed that when PKC was hydrolyzed by mixed β-glucosidase, cellulase and mannanase, a total simple sugars of 87.81±4.78 g/L were produced, which resulted in 3.75±0.18 g/L butanol and 6.44±0.43 g/L ABE at 168 h fermentation. In order to increase saccharolytic efficiency of enzymatic treatment, PKC was pretreated by liquid hot water before performing enzymatic hydrolysis. Test results showed that total reducing sugars were enhanced to 97.81±1.29 g/L with elevated production of butanol and ABE up to 4.15±1.18 and 7.12±2.06 g/L, respectively which represented an A:B:E ratio of 7:11:1.

Abstract
A systematic protocol was designed to enumerate the variation in biohydrogen production with two different biocatalysts (sludge and soil) under different pH and organic loads. Both the biocatalysts showed cumulatively higher H2 production under acidogenic condition (pH 6) than at neutral pH condition. The cumulative hydrogen production was non-linearly fitted with modified Gompertz model and statistically validated. Pretreated soil biocatalyst showed relatively higher H2 production (OLR II, 142±5ml) than pretreated sludge (OLR I, 123±5ml); which was evidenced by substrate linked dehydrogenase activity and bio-electrochemical analysis. Experimental results revealed agricultural soil as a better biocatalyst than anaerobic sludge for all the operated process conditions. The voltammogram profiles and Tafel slopes revealed dominance of reductive catalytic activity of the pretreated inoculums substantiating dark-fermentation. Soil consortia showed low polarization resistance (2.24kΩ) and high reductive electron transfer efficiency (1.17 Vdec(-1)) at a high organic load; thus, rebating high H2 production.
