Summary: In this study, succinic acid (SA) was successfully produced from rice straw (RS) and sugarcane bagasse (SB) through sequential peracetic acid (PA) and alkaline peroxid (AP) pretreatment assisted by ultrasound and pre-hydrolysis followed by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (PSSF). The production of SA was significantly influenced by yeast extract (YE) concentration, inoculum concentration, and biomass type. The optimal conditions for SA production from RS and SB were identified as 15 g/L YE concentration with 5% v/v inoculum and 10 g/L YE concentration with 7.5% v/v inoculum, respectively. This study highlights the potential of RS and SB as low-cost feedstocks for sustainable and environmentally friendly SA production.

Summary: Biosorption using natural and nanomodified sugarcane bagasse with ferromagnetic nanoparticles was found to be effective in removing hexavalent chromium from water. Characterization and kinetic experiments showed that nanomodification slightly improved the efficiency of Cr(VI) sorption and facilitated the removal of Cr(VI)-containing biosorbents from water.

Summary: This study investigated novel eco-friendly and economically favorable chemically modified biosorbents and biosomposites from sugarcane bagasse for efficient removal of Acid red 1 dye from wastewater. The fabricated materials exhibited high adsorption capacity due to their large specific surface area and excessive functional active binding sites. Kinetic and isothermal studies showed that the experimental data fitted well with pseudo 2nd order and Langmuir model. Thermodynamics analysis revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous, feasible, and exothermic. Selective adsorption studies indicated that the materials exhibited greater affinity for dye molecules and were not affected by co-existing metallic ions. The loaded dye molecules could be extracted for reusability, making the materials a potential candidate for commercial scale dye removal applications from industrial wastewater.

Summary: In this study, the dynamic behavior of sulfamethoxazole adsorption on sugarcane bagasse was studied and compared using analytical models and a theoretical mechanistic model. The Log-Gompertz model showed the best agreement with experimental data, while the mechanistic model accurately predicted breakthrough curves and estimated relevant parameters. Increasing global mass transfer coefficient (K-i) resulted in a faster adsorption rate, and high axial dispersion coefficient (D-z) values led to lower adsorption capacities of the adsorbent, highlighting the importance of axial dispersion in sulfamethoxazole adsorption on sugarcane bagasse.
