Alkaline-thermal synergistic activation of persulfate for sawdust hour-level humification to prepare fulvic-like-acid fertilizer. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2025; 426:132388. [PMID: 40074092 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2025.132388] [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: 12/02/2024] [Revised: 02/20/2025] [Accepted: 03/10/2025] [Indexed: 03/14/2025]
Abstract
Sawdust is a by-product of wood processing and it was rapidly humified with K2S2O8 under alkaline-thermal synergistic activation to produce a fulvic-like-acid (FLA) organic fertilizer (SFOF) in this study. The optimum conditions were K2S2O8: KOH mass ratio of 1:2 and 150°C, meanwhile FLA yield could reach 180.3 mg/g in 2 h. The carboxylation, Maillard reaction, and aromatization processes occurred during sawdust humification. And then, SFOF was mixed with attapulgite and modified starch binder to get an organic fertilizer (SAM), and coated with amino silicone oil (ASO) to create a slow-release granule (SAM@ASO). The release mechanism of FLA from SAM@ASO was consistent with Ritger-Peppas release kinetics. SAM@ASO, with high biosafety, could promote water spinach growth and remediate acidic soil (pH from 4.9 to 6.3). This method offers a promising approach for sawdust utilization and a novel FLA-based organic fertilizer for acidic soil remediation.

Abstract
This study investigates the development and application of cellulose hydrogel-based slow-release fertilizers derived from waste materials, specifically waste paper and sawdust, in cultivating water convolvulus. The slow-release fertilizers were created using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) derived from these waste sources with citric acid as a cross-linker, aiming to enhance nutrient efficiency and sustainable agricultural practices. The CMC hydrogels demonstrated high water swelling-approximately 10 times its dry weight, enhancing soil moisture holding levels across different soil types. Notably, the slow-release fertilizer derived from sawdust (HyU_CMC_SD) showed the highest urea absorption (330.8 ± 2.3 mg/g) and a high urea release rate in water and soil owing to its polymeric chain property. Cultivation trials over 25 days revealed that water convolvulus grown with the sawdust-derived slow-release fertilizer had the most extended stem growth, while the slow-release fertilizer from waste paper (HyU_CMC_P) provided gradual, more prolonged release, supporting consistent plant growth post-14 days of growing. Overall, slow-release fertilizers from the CMC hydrogels proved effective in slowing nutrient release, conserving soil moisture, and minimizing nutrient leaching. This research suggests that cellulose hydrogel-based slow-release fertilizers from waste materials offer a promising approach for sustainable and efficient agricultural production.

Capturing differences in the release potential of dissolved organic matter from biochar and hydrochar: Insights from component characterization and molecular identification. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 955:177209. [PMID: 39471945 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.177209] [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: 08/27/2024] [Revised: 10/23/2024] [Accepted: 10/23/2024] [Indexed: 11/01/2024]
Abstract
Biochar and hydrochar have garnered widespread attention owing to their excellent performance in environmental remediation, carbon sequestration, and resource utilization from biowaste. Studies on the release potential of dissolved organic matter (DOM) have been limited, and the distinction between biochar and hydrochar remains unclear. In this study, pine sawdust was utilized as a model precursor with the aim of comparing the release quantity, components, and properties of DOM from biochar (BDOM) and hydrochar (HDOM) under various simulated conditions. The amount of DOM released by hydrochar (38.20-190.49 g/kg) was significantly greater than that released by biochar (0.57-11.96 g/kg), and more DOM was released at higher temperatures and pH values. BDOM consists of three categories of components, namely, humic-like, protein-like, and benzoic acid-like and tyrosine-like substances compounds, whereas HDOM consists of four categories of components, namely, two categories of humic-like compounds and two categories of protein-like compounds. By using ESI-FT-ICR-MS technology, 8586 compounds in BDOM and 6428 compounds in HDOM were identified. A total of 4665 unique compounds were found in BDOM, 1416 unique compounds were found in HDOM under alkaline release conditions, and HDOM contained more unique compounds than those found in other environments. CRAM/lignin-like compounds made up the majority of the released DOM and reached 31.01-65.35 % for BDOM and 54.79-73.05 % for HDOM. These findings revealed significant differences in the release potential of DOM from biochar and hydrochar, and further behavior research is needed to guide future applications of char materials in the environment and agriculture fields.

Abstract
The increase in environmental pollution due to the development of industry and human activity has resulted in intensive development of research on the possibility of its purification. A very effective method is the pollutants' adsorption from the air and water environment. For adsorption to be effective, materials with a specific structure and a well-developed surface decorated with numerous functionalities, e.g., biocarbons (BC), are necessary. An effective method of activating biocarbons is mechanochemical milling, an environmentally friendly procedure. This paper describes the possibility of using mechanochemical activation (MChA) of non-porous biocarbons to develop surface and porosity for their use in processes of pollutant adsorption. BC was characterized based on N2 adsorption, thermogravimetry (TGA), SEM/EDS imaging, Fourier (ATR-FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies, as well as titration using the Boehm method and determination of zeta potential. The adsorption capacity of BC for methylene blue (MB) was studied. It was proven that the solvent-free MChA made it possible to obtain microporous biocarbons, causing an intensive increase in the surface area and pore volume and the generation of oxygen functionalities. The biocarbons had predominantly acidic (mainly carboxylic) or basic functionalities and exhibited an amorphous structure. BC proved to be effective in adsorbing MB from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
This study explores the utilization of eight readily available agricultural waste varieties in Nigeria-sugarcane bagasse, corn husk, corn cob, wheat husk, melina, acacia, mahogany, and ironwood sawdust-as potential sources of cellulose. Gravimetric analysis was employed to assess the cellulose content of these wastes, following which two selected wastes were combined based on their cellulose content and abundance to serve as the raw material for the extraction process. Response Surface Methodology, including Box-Behnken design, was applied to enhance control over variables, establish an optimal starting point, and determine the most favorable reaction conditions. The cellulose extracted under various conditions was comprehensively examined for content, structure, extent of crystallinity, and morphological properties. Characterization techniques such as X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy were employed for detailed analysis. Compositional analysis revealed sugarcane bagasse and corn cob to possess the highest cellulose content, at 41 ± 0.41% and 40 ± 0.32% respectively, with FTIR analysis confirming relatively low C=C bond intensity in these samples. RSM optimization indicated a potential 46% isolated yield from a hybrid composition of sugarcane bagasse and corn cob at NaOH concentration of 2%, temperature of 45 °C, and 10 ml of 38% H2O2. However, FTIR analyses revealed the persistence of non-cellulosic materials in this sample. Further analysis demonstrated that cellulose isolated at NaOH concentration of 10%, temperature of 70 °C, and 20 ml of 38% H2O2 was of high purity, with a yield of 42%. Numerical optimization within this extraction condition range predicted a yield of 45.6% at NaOH concentration of 5%, temperature of 45 °C, and 20 ml of 38% H2O2. Model validation confirmed an actual yield of 43.9% at this condition, aligning closely with the predicted value. These findings underscore the significant potential of combinning and utilizing agricultural wastes as a valuable source of cellulose, paving the way for sustainable and resource-efficient practices in various industrial applications.

Abstract
Composting is an environmentally friendly method that facilitates the biodegradation of organic solid waste, ultimately transforming it into stable end-products suitable for various applications. The element iron (Fe) exhibits flexibility in form and valence. The typical Fe-related additives include zero-valent-iron, iron oxides, ferric and ferrous ion salts, which can be targeted to drive composting process through different mechanisms and are of keen interest to academics. Therefore, this review integrated relevant literature from recent years to provide more comprehensive overview about the influence and mechanisms of various Fe-related additives on composting process, including organic components conversion, humus formation and sequestration, changes in biological factors, stability and safety of composting end-products. Meanwhile, it was recommended that further research be conducted on the deep action mechanisms, biochemical pathways, budget balance analysis, products stability and application during organic solid waste composting with Fe-related additives. This review provided guidance for the subsequent targeted application of Fe-related additives in compost, thereby facilitating cost reduction and promoting circular economy objectives.

Abstract
In the present study, a new application was proposed for the eucalyptus sawdust waste, which is an environmental passive. Three adsorbent materials composed of chitosan (CS), sawdust (CSW), and magnetic beads (CSWF) were developed and used for the Direct Violet-51 remediation. The adsorption testes were optimized based on the variation of the adsorption parameters: (i) pH (2-12), (ii) contact time (5-60 min), (iii) initial dye concentration (10-60 mg L-1), (iv) adsorbent mass (10-100 mg) in 10 mL. The optimized conditions of the adsorption essays showed that the three synthesized adsorbents completely removed the dye from the aqueous medium, but under different experimental conditions. As the main findings in this study, we can highlight the excellent performance of CSW adsorbent material, which promoted maximum removal efficiency of Direct Violet-51 at neutral pH, which is of great importance for the industrial processes. On the other hand, CS and CSWF adsorbent materials exhibited a maximum adsorption efficiency at pH 2. Furthermore, the adsorbent materials were applied in the dye remediation in environmental water samples from the tap water, Marcela dam, and Poxim River, they did not suffer any major matrix interference, whose removal efficiency values varied between 99.8 and 100, 70.7-100, and 98.8-99.5 % for the CS, CSW, and CSWF, respectively. Finally, besides being materials produced from the waste, they can be reused more times, fitting into the concept of circular economy.

Abstract
Wastewater disposal in the ecosystem affects aquatic and human life, which necessitates the removal of the contaminants. Eliminating wastewater contaminants using biochar produced through the thermal decomposition of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is sustainable. Due to its high specific surface area, porous structure, oxygen functional groups, and low cost, biochar has emerged as an alternate contender in catalysis. Various innovative advanced technologies were combined with biochar for effective wastewater treatment. This review examines the use of LCB for the synthesis of biochar along with its activation methods. It also elaborates on using advanced biochar-based technologies in wastewater treatment and the mechanism for forming oxidizing species. The research also highlights the use of machine learning in pollutant removal and identifies the obstacles of biochar-based catalysts in both real-time and cutting-edge technologies. Probable and restrictions for further exploration are discussed.

Abstract
Sapelli wood sawdust-derived magnetic activated carbon (SWSMAC) was produced by single-step pyrolysis using KOH and NiCl2 as activating and magnetization agents. SWSMAC was characterized by several techniques (SEM/EDS, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, FTIR, XRD, VSM, and pHPZC) and applied in the brilliant blue FCF dye adsorption from an aqueous medium. The obtained SWSMAC was a mesoporous material and showed good textural properties. Metallic nanostructured Ni particles were observed. Also, SWSMAC exhibited ferromagnetic properties. In the adsorption experiments, adequate conditions were an adsorbent dosage of 0.75 g L-1 and a solution pH of 4. The adsorption was fast, and the pseudo-second-order demonstrated greater suitability to the kinetic data. The Sips model fitted the equilibrium data well, and the maximum adsorption capacity predicted by this model was 105.88 mg g-1 (at 55 °C). The thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption was spontaneous, favorable, and endothermic. Besides, the mechanistic elucidation suggested that electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, and n-π interactions were involved in the brilliant blue FCF dye adsorption onto SWSMAC. In summary, an advanced adsorbent material was developed from waste by single-step pyrolysis, and this material effectively adsorbs brilliant blue FCF dye.

Mallakpour S, Sirous F, Dinari M. Comparative study for removal of cationic and anionic dyes using alginate-based hydrogels filled with citric acid-sawdust/UiO-66-NH 2 hybrid. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 238:124034. [PMID: 36924868 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124034] [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: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023]
Abstract
Nowadays, a big challenge is developing a sustainable and effective method for removing contaminants like dyes from aqueous solutions. In this regard, Zr-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH2) and sawdust as the ideal adsorbents were used. Due to their low separation in adsorption processes, embedding into alginate and obtaining composite beads are suggested as a suitable strategy. The achieved Ca-alginate/citric acid (CA)-sawdust/UiO-66-NH2 hydrogel beads were used to compare cationic and anionic dyes removal. This sorbent indicated an excellent selectivity for removing methylene blue versus methyl orange in a binary system. pH = 6, adsorbent amount = 80 mg, methylene blue concentration = 10 mg/L, and contact time = 420 min were achieved as optimal parameters on methylene blue adsorption with an adsorption capacity of about 26 mg/g. The removal process of methylene blue followed linear Freundlich isotherm and nonlinear pseudo-2nd-order kinetic models. The regeneration test demonstrated methylene blue removal efficiency higher than about 89 % after 9 cycles. According to the outcomes, methylene blue could be attached to the adsorbent surface through the electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions of the aromatic rings. These results confirm the potential of Ca-alginate/CA-sawdust/UiO-66-NH2 hydrogel beads as a selective bio-sorbent for cationic dye removal.

Abstract
In this work, a novel adsorbent, activated carbon (PSAC) developed by the activation of pine sawdust's pyrolytic carbon (PSPC), is applied to adsorb 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The optimized preparation conditions of PSAC were presented. The results revealed that equilibrium adsorption capacity (qe) of PSAC was notably enhanced up to threefold compared with PSPC. The adsorbents were characterized by a variety of techniques such as SEM, XRD, FT-IR, and elemental analysis. The key factors (such as adsorbent dosage, pH, salt concentration, temperature, and contact time) influencing the adsorption process were also studied. The adsorption quantities of PSAC for 2,4-DCP and 4-CP were 135.7 mg·g-1 and 77.3 mg·g-1, respectively. The equilibrium adsorption of 4-DCP and 4-CP was suitable to be predicted by the Freundlich and Koble-Corrigan models, while kinetic process was better described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Elovich equation. The process was spontaneous. After repeated regeneration of PSAC with ethanol, the adsorption capacity of PSAC was not significantly reduced, indicating that PSAC can be recycled by regeneration after adsorption of 4-CP. This work provides a viable method to use activated carbon as an effective adsorbent for pollutant removal.

Abstract
Water pollution by dyes has been a major environmental problem to be tackled, and magnetic adsorbents appear as promising alternatives to solve it. Herein, magnetic activated carbons were prepared by the single-step method from Sapelli wood sawdust, properly characterized, and applied as adsorbents for brilliant blue dye removal. In particular, two magnetic activated carbons, MAC1105 and MAC111, were prepared using the proportion of biomass KOH of 1:1 and varying the proportion of NiCl2 of 0.5 and 1. The characterization results demonstrated that the different proportions of NiCl2 mainly influenced the textural characteristics of the adsorbents. An increase in the surface area from 260.0 to 331.5 m2 g-1 and in the total pore volume from 0.075 to 0.095 cm3 g-1 was observed with the weight ratio of NiCl2. Both adsorbents exhibit ferromagnetic properties and the presence of nanostructured Ni particles. The different properties of the materials influenced the adsorption kinetics and equilibrium of brilliant blue dye. MAC111 showed faster kinetics, reaching the equilibrium in around 10 min, while for MAC1105, it took 60 min for the equilibrium to be reached. In addition, based on the Sips isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacity was 98.12 mg g-1 for MAC111, while for MAC1105, it was 60.73 mg g-1. Furthermore, MAC111 presented the potential to be reused in more adsorption cycles than MAC1105, and the use of the adsorbents in the treatment of a simulated effluent exhibited high effectiveness, with removal efficiencies of up to 90%.

Abstract
Scrap tire rubber particles were used and evaluated to adsorb some gaseous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as benzene and n-hexane. The results present that the adsorption capacities were 0.18 and 0.072 mg/g for n-hexane and benzene, respectively, in the static adsorption mode; the effective adsorption may be attributed to the carbon black of the tire. The adsorption process is in accordance with the Freundlich isothermal model and Lagergren pseudo-first-order kinetic equation. Correspondingly, the adsorption process is multilayer adsorption analyzed by the intramolecular diffusion model. In the dynamic adsorption mode, the maximum adsorption efficiencies of n-hexane and benzene were 80.7 and 81%, respectively, at flow velocities of 0.1 L/min n-hexane and 0.2 L/min benzene.

Abstract
The current study was carried out to treat the olive mill wastewater (OMW) via infiltration percolation process, using low-cost natural adsorbents that could improve the ability of the system to enhance the disposal rate of elimination of pollutant from the OMW. The experimental pilot was composed of three PVC (polyvinyl chloride) columns with 10 cm in diameter and 110-cm height equipped with lateral air entries. Each column was filled with four layers of 10 cm of a mixture of sand (70%), charcoal (20%) and sawdust (10%) respectively. These layers were alternated by four permeable layers of 10 cm of Pouzzolane. To assess the effect of the pretreatment on the efficiency of the system, three types of OMW were used: raw OMW, diluted OMW with domestic wastewater at 1/1(v/v) ratio and OMW pretreated with lime. For the column feed with raw OMW, an average removal of total COD (41%), dissolved COD (54%), NH4-N (40.25%), NO3- (15.76%), total phosphorus (55.63%) and orthophosphate (50.84%) was recorded. The results showed that the column feed with diluted OMW with domestic wastewater was the most efficient one with a removal rate that reached 93.2% of total COD, 86.2% of dissolved COD, 92% of polyphenol, 92% of orthophosphate (OP), 97.2% of total phosphorus (TP) and 81% of NH4-N. The pretreatment of OMW with lime gave the lowest removal rate for all the parameters: total COD (34%), dissolved COD (50%), NH4-N (30%), NO3- (- 21%), total phosphorus (15.19%) and orthophosphate (9.04%). This study demonstrated that the dilution is a way to optimize the efficiency of the system of infiltration-percolation in treating the OMW.

Abstract
In the current study, the effect of torrefaction temperatures (125-175 °C) and catalyst quantity (5-15 g) on co-pyrolysis of torrefied sawdust (TSD) and polystyrene (PS) are investigated to obtain value-added products. The role of torrefaction in co-pyrolysis of TSD: PS was analyzed to understand the product yields, synergy, and energy consumption . As the torrefaction temperature increases, oil yield (48.3-59.6 wt%) and char yield (24.3-29 wt%) increase while gas yield (27.4-11.4 wt%) decreases. Catalytic co-pyrolysis showed a significant level of synergy when compared to non-catalytic co-pyrolysis. For the conversion (%), a positive synergy maximum (-2.6) exists at a torrefaction temperature of 175 °C and 15 g of KOH catalyst. To develop the model, polynomial regression-based machine learning was used to predict pyrolysisproduct yields and energy usage variables. The developed models showed significant prediction accuracy (R2 > 0.98), suggesting the experimental values and the predicted values matched well.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic degradation is a bottleneck of bioconversion during the composting process. In-situ generation of H2O2 in the composting system was an ideal method for efficiently promoting lignocellulase degradation, and zero valent iron (ZVI) was concerned because it can generate H2O2 by reducing dissolved oxygen. This study focused on the effects of ZVI treatment on lignocellulose degradation, microbial communities, and carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) genes during composting. Its results indicated that ZVI increased H2O2 content during composting, accompanied by the formation of •OH. The degradation rates of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose in ZVI group (20.77%, 30.35% and 44.7%) were significantly higher than in CK group (17.01%, 26.12% and 38.5%). Metagenomic analysis showed that ZVI induced microbial growth that favored lignocellulose degradation, which increased the abundance of Actinobacteria and Firmicutes but reduced Proteobacteria. At the genus level, the abundance of Thermomonospora, Streptomyces, and Bacillus significantly increased. In addition, glycoside hydrolases and auxiliary activities were important CAZymes families of lignocellulose degradation, and their abundance was higher in the ZVI group. Redundancy analysis showed that the increased H2O2 and •OH content was a critical factor in improving lignocellulose degradation. Overall, H2O2 as a co-substrate enhanced the enzymatic efficiency, •OH unspecifically attacked lignocellulose, and the increase in functional microbial abundance was the main reason for promoting lignocellulose degradation in composting.

Combustion, Pyrolysis, and Gasification of Waste-Derived Fuel Slurries, Low-Grade Liquids, and High-Moisture Waste: Review. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
The article discusses the modern achievements in the field of thermal recovery of industrial and municipal waste. The average accumulation rate and calorific value of typical wastes were analyzed. The focus is on the opportunities to exploit the energy potential of high-moisture waste, low-grade liquid components, and fuel slurries. We consider the relevant results in the field of combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification of such fuels. The main attention is paid to synergistic effects, the influence of additives, and external conditions on the process performance. Vortex combustion chambers, boilers with burners, and nozzles for fuel injection, grate, and fluidized bed boilers can be used for the combustion of waste-derived liquid, high-moisture, and slurry fuels. The following difficulties are possible: long ignition delay, incomplete combustion, low combustion temperature and specific calorific value, high emissions (including particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), fast slagging, and difficult spraying. A successful solution to these problems is possible due to the use of auxiliary fuel; boiler modifications; oxy-fuel combustion; and the preparation of multi-component fuels, including the use of additives. An analysis of methods of waste recovery in the composition of slurries for fuel gas production showed that there are several main areas of research: pyrolysis and gasification of coal–water slurry with additives of oil waste; study of the influence of external conditions on the characteristics of final products; and the use of specialized additives and catalysts to improve the efficiency of the pyrolysis and gasification. The prospects for improving the characteristics of thermochemical conversion of such fuels are highlighted.
