Summary: This study focuses on the anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater, with emphasis on sludge yield and suspended solid degradation. A large pilot-scale AnMBR was used to effectively treat real wastewater, achieving excellent COD and BOD5 removal efficiency, stable biogas production, and low sludge yield. The reactor successfully removed influent suspended solids, although only a portion was degraded, with the rest being converted to MLSS.

Summary: In this study, lignocellulosic biomass was converted into sugars for the production of fuels and chemicals using an AFEX-EH process. However, impurities in the resulting UHS hinder the conversion of lignin into high-value products. Various solvents, including acetic acid and aqueous ethanol, were used to extract lignin, with acetic acid producing 95% pure lignin with some chemical modification and aqueous ethanol producing 80% pure lignin without any chemical modification.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of inter-stage hydrothermal treatment on sewage sludge mixture digestion and found that it increased the ultimate biodegradability of the sludge, but did not significantly affect the overall methane production compared to pre-treatment. Different digestion configurations showed varying performance in methane production, solids reduction, nutrient transformation, and energy balance. Further research is needed to optimize the inter-stage hydrothermal treatment process for efficient energy recovery in sewage sludge digestion.

Summary: The study evaluated the economic implications of co-digesting sewage sludge and food waste in anaerobic membrane bioreactors. It found that higher electricity revenue from co-digesting food waste could offset additional costs, but not when treating nutrients backload in sidestream digesters. Biosolids disposal was identified as the most significant cost in all scenarios, and sensitivity analysis showed that food waste gate fee influenced co-digestion economic feasibility.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of soft hydrothermal pre-treatment on olive mill solid waste (OMSW) and its subsequent anaerobic digestion. The pre-treatment at 121 degrees C and 1.1 bar for 30 minutes showed the highest methane yield. The solubilization of important compounds and reduction of fiber size were observed after pre-treatments, leading to an improved digestibility of OMSW. The influence of pre-treatment conditions on the anaerobic digestion process was evaluated through process performance monitoring and kinetic parameters calculation.

Summary: This research evaluated the anaerobic digestion of llama and dromedary dungs in batch mode at mesophilic temperature. The study found that trampled llama dung had a higher methane yield compared to raw llama and dromedary dungs. Trampled llama dung was determined to be the best substrate for methane production due to its high volatile solids content, nitrogen content, and appropriate C/N ratio. The experimental data aligns with both first-order kinetic and transference function mathematical models.

Summary: This study evaluated the anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and garden and park waste, as well as the hydrothermal treatment of each waste and the anaerobic co-digestion of raw biowastes with process water. The results showed that anaerobic digestion was the best option for energy recovery from food waste, while the solid fraction generated from hydrothermal treatment had the highest energy recovery for garden and park waste. Additionally, the anaerobic co-digestion of food waste with process water improved process stability and achieved similar energy recovery to food waste alone.

Summary: This study proposes electrochemical oxidation (EO) as a new method to treat process water from hydrothermal carbonization of olive tree pruning. The organic matter removal and chemical species formed during the electro-oxidation process under different conditions were analyzed. The addition of a promoter significantly enhanced the organic matter removal, and the choice of electrolyte had a significant impact on the removal efficiency. Moreover, the study found that various chemical species identified in different feedstocks were partially or completely removed after EO treatment. Therefore, this research suggests a promising avenue for the further utilization of process water from hydrothermal carbonization processes.

Summary: In order to reduce environmental impact and improve resource sustainability, the use of landrace cultivars that support regenerative agriculture needs to be promoted and strengthened. This study evaluated the growth, development, and anaerobic digestion of different sorghum varieties, including landrace cultivars and commercial hybrids. The landrace cultivars showed better performance in terms of height, biomass yields, compactness shoots, and grain production compared to commercial varieties. The anaerobic digestion of the sorghum straws was carried out at mesophilic temperature, and the landrace cultivar Zahina obtained the highest methane yield. Mathematical models were used to describe and simulate the anaerobic biodegradation, and the commercial variety PR88Y20 exhibited the fastest biomethanization.

Summary: Chicken meat and bones waste were treated through hydrothermal treatment, nutrient recovery and anaerobic digestion to evaluate their potential in circular economy. The acidic hydrothermal treatment resulted in high heating value bio-oil, while the non-acidic reactions produced poor combustion hydrochar. High amounts of phosphorous and nitrogen were solubilized in the process water under acidic conditions, while these nutrients were mainly retained in the hydrochar under non-acidic conditions.

Summary: This study focuses on the fate of nutrients (N, P, and K) during the hydrothermal treatment of anaerobically digested sewage sludge to raise their concentrations in the liquid phase and facilitate their recovery as solid minerals. The optimization of the hydrothermal process was carried out by evaluating temperature and reaction time in an acid-free medium or with the addition of HCl. The release of nutrients in the process water was improved through HCl-assisted hydrothermal treatment, and the recovered solid showed high contents of P, Mg, and NH4-N with negligible heavy-metal content.

Summary: The study focuses on the upgrading of hydrochar from swine manure using hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and various post-treatments. The conventional HTC process yields hydrochar with low quality, while HCl-assisted HTC or washing with HCl or acetone significantly improve the carbon content, higher heating value (HHV), and ash removal of the hydrochar. Washing with acetone also reduces the nitrogen and sulfur contents, making the hydrochar suitable for solid biofuel. The hydrochars obtained from HCl-assisted HTC and HCl/acetone washing exhibit higher thermal stability and better reactivity compared to conventional hydrochars.
