Orange peel waste (OPW), as a relevant and recoverable residue, is composed of peel, internal tissue, pulp, seeds. This organic residue rich in carbohydrates useful for biofuel production processes. Biohydrogen obtained from dark fermentation (DF) photofermentation (PF), which are complementary the bioprocessing chain. The objective this work was to compare environmental impact assessment sequential dark–photofermentation process (Scenario DF-PF) individual processes: DF) PF). performed at...
Anaerobic mono- and co-digestion of fruits vegetable waste (FVW), slaughterhouse (SHW), cattle manure (CM) under mesophilic conditions (35°C) were conducted through biochemical methane potential tests to investigate how the FVW in a co-substrate formulation improves yield, degradative synergy between substrates, especially stability process. The FVW:SHW FVW:CM evaluated with volatile solids (VS) ratios 1:2, 1:1, 2:1. results indicated that highest synergistic effect was found at 1:1 VS...
In this study, a simultaneous optimisation of technical and environmental parameters for activated carbon production from soybean shells is presented. A 23 factorial design was developed to explore the performance responses yield iodine number, single score ReCiPe endpoint method, which evaluated by means life cycle assessment. The independent factors included in experiments were impregnation ratio, temperature, time activation. Three quadratic equations obtained simultaneously optimised...
The environmental profile of milk production in Mexico was analysed for three manure management scenarios: fertilization (F), anaerobic digestion (AD) and enhanced (EAD). study used the life cycle assessment (LCA) technique, considering a 'cradle-to-gate' approach. model constructed using SimaPro LCA software, impact performed according to ReCiPe method. Dairy farms with AD EAD scenarios were found exhibit, respectively, 12% 27% less greenhouse gas emissions, 58% 31% terrestrial...
Low-cost substrates are an exciting alternative for bioprocesses; however, their complexity can affect microorganism metabolism with non-desirable outcomes. This work evaluated banana peel extract (BPE) as a growth medium compared to commercial Yeast-Malt (YM) broth in the native and non-conventional yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa UANL-001L. The production of carotenoids, fatty acids, exopolysaccharides (EPS) was also analyzed. Biomass concentration (3.9 g/L) rate (0.069 g/h) UANL-001L were...
Mexico generated 8.9 Mt of food loss and waste (FLW) at distribution retail centers in the year 2022. Traditional management methods Latin America primarily involve final disposal sites, contributing to national greenhouse gas emissions 0.22 CO2 eq y−1. This creates an urgent need for sustainable valorization strategies FLW mitigate environmental impacts. comprehensive study analyzes geographical generation proposes a approach using WtE-AD plants. Geographic information systems were employed...
This study tackles the growing global concern about municipal waste management, particularly in cities like Grand Guayaquil Metropolitan Area (GGA). Through realistic field studies on situ household generation and geographic information system (GIS) tools, this work offers a framework to predict quantities types of recyclable for any metropolitan area Latin America. Over 4 weeks, students collected, sorted weighed types, including plastic, paper, metal, glass fabric, from 776 sampled GGA....
Latin-American cities need efficient municipal solid waste (MSW) collection systems, specifically in municipalities with fast urbanization. Poor logistics routes is one of the causes inefficient MSW management. A strategy for designing routes, considering an environmental and economic analysis, was developed tested Metropolitan Area Monterrey (MMA), highest urban development Mexico. Life cycle assessment costs analysis were performed to evaluate archetypal routes' impact current system. The...
