The global transition to a sustainable bioeconomy requires the engagement of renewable and cost-effective substrates obtain valuable bio-based products. Inulin-rich plant materials have promising applications in white biotechnology. This review evaluates potential converting inulin through an integrated biorefinery into high-value products by microbial fermentation. It describes methods for raw biomass pretreatment, possibilities simultaneous saccharification fermentation (SSF), use...

While there is a universal trend to replace fossil fuels at least partially, renewable seem impose new solutions. Hydrogen sulfide, typical for closed water ponds such as the Black Sea, seems offer one namely, sulfide-driven fuel cell providing exchange of OH− anions across membrane by use hydrogen sulfide in natural marine water. When tested batch and continuous operation modes, this solution showed that initial concentration needed achieve results practical value was within 200 300 mg...

There are many technologies for removal of sulfur dioxide (SO2) from flue gases. They intrinsic part the efforts sustainability energy production as they reduce harmful impact fossil fuel combustion on environment by minimizing one main air pollutants. A wide range methods use alkaline absorbents. In most cases, products obtained absorption process have to undergo further oxidation, which increases cost carrying out process. As a final result, sulfates (Na2SO4 and CaSO4) limited practical...

A sulfide driven fuel cell is proposed to clean the Black Sea with simultaneous production of energy. The process hopeful even at low concentrations, i.e.10 25 mg/l being close ones in water. main problem for practical application this type are current and power densities. measurement generated electric compared depletion show that most probable anode reaction oxidation sulfate. It evident parasite competitive reactions occurs compartment cell. pH measurements shows transfer hydroxylic...

Hydrogen sulfide is frequently met in natural waters, like mineral springs, but mostly it found marine water with low renewal rate. The Black Sea has extremely high hydrogen content. It can be utilized different ways, the most promising one direct conversion into electricity. This result attained by a sulfide-driven fuel cell (SDFC), converting to sulfate thus releasing electric energy up 24 GJ/t. One of important problems mass transfer limitation on oxygen cathode space cell. problem solved...

Traditional methods for wastewater treatment are associated with high energy consumption. This is why biological of water more appropriate at the moment. In our previous study, oxidation and reduction pollutants have been proposed to be carried out in a microbial fuel cell (MFC) designed by laboratory that simultaneously purifies from sulfide nitrate ions generates electricity. The experiments were two types electrodes, graphite rods paddling activated carbon using Fumapem® FFA-3-PK-75 (OH-...
