The aim of this work was to evaluate the feasibility treating food waste generated from a hawker centre in pilot-scale anaerobic digester operating on site an urban area Singapore. For purpose, 10.4 m3 housed within two 20 feet containerized systems and sited adjacent centre. system reported during startup phase, for over 71 days real varying wastes loading rate. results demonstrated that decentralized had average specific methane yield 0.55 ± 0.04 m3CH4/kgVS, with concentrations 56.6 2.3%....
The increasing amount of food waste and the excessive use mineral fertilizers have caused detrimental impacts on soil, water, air quality. Though digestate derived from has been reported to partially replace fertilizer, its efficiency requires further improvement. In this study, effects digestate-encapsulated biochar were comprehensively investigated based growth an ornamental plant, soil characteristics, nutrient leaching microbiome. Results showed that except for biochar, tested additives,...
Biomass has emerged as an abundant and relatively low cost carbon resource alternative to fossil fuel resources in the sustainable production of specialty chemicals biofuel. Levulinic acid is attractive platform chemical. Upgrading levulinic produces levulinate esters, which serve a transportation additive. The present review focuses on development conversion biomass into esters via ionic liquids dual solvent–catalysts. synthesis routes corresponding are introduced. pretreament, well...
Biotechnological advancements in carbon utilization, particularly CO2 gas fermentation, present a sustainable alternative to energy-intensive chemical catalysis. Clostridium carboxidivorans sp. 624, clostridial acetogen, employs the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway fix CO2, producing valuable acids and alcohols. In this study, we systematically investigate metabolic dynamics of CO2/H2 focusing on optimizing temperature media conditions enhance yield. Notably, batch fermentation at 25 °C achieved...
Food waste contributes to environmental degradation by emitting greenhouse gases and depleting natural resources, but it also exacerbates global hunger poverty. This study investigated the use of food digestate (FWD) as fertilizer on ornamental plant (Piper sarmentosum) cultivation under soil amendment growing media such organic compost (OC), biochar, rice husk (RH) in a 56-day trial. A significant increase growth was observed potting mix with amendments combined application FWD comparison...
This study investigates the kinetics of depolymerisation reaction oil palm mesocarp fiber biomass conversion to levulinic acid via Bronsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids catalyst. An eco-friendly catalyst was developed by coupling Lewis indium trichloride with a noncorrosive mono-alkylated liquids, 1-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, for production in greener perspective. The kinetic experiments were conducted at mild temperatures ranged from 135 175°C varying time 1.5 5h. A model based on...
