Summary: Lignocellulosic biomass presents a promising feedstock for carbon management, offering carbon neutrality and substantial environmental and economic benefits. This paper explores recent advances in pretreatment methods for efficient biogas production from lignocellulosic biomass, providing a comprehensive overview of performance, benefits, and drawbacks. The utilization of physical-chemical pretreatment and nanomaterials-based techniques show potential in improving methane production and compensating for the limitations of natural enzymes. Economic effectiveness, environmental impact, and operational feasibility are also considered in the implementation of pretreatment processes. Techno-economic analysis, life cycle assessment, and artificial intelligence technologies are efficient means for evaluating and selecting pretreatment methods.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility of producing biogas from water hyacinth through a pretreatment process. By subjecting the water hyacinth samples to a high concentration of H2SO4, the lignocellulosic materials are broken down, leading to enhanced biogas production. The results demonstrate that pretreatment with 5% v/v H2SO4 for 60 min significantly improves biogas yield.

Summary: Recently, there has been growing interest in using organic or biodegradable wastes, including lignocellulosic wastes (LWs), as renewable energy sources. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of these wastes can mitigate environmental damage and produce biogas and bioenergy, which is particularly valuable in developing countries. However, there are several challenges to overcome, such as waste floating on top of reactors, high carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (CNR), complex structure of LWs, and poor degradability due to high lignin content. These challenges can be addressed through methods like mixing in reactors, reducing CNR, balancing inoculum-to-substrate ratio (ISR), and pretreatments. This study aims to review the literature on AD of LWs, identify existing challenges, and propose strategies to improve bioenergy production from this waste.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.

Summary: The presence of PVC microplastics at environmentally relevant levels does not affect methane production but reduces the toxicity of cadmium. When the concentration of PVC microplastics reaches 30 particles/g TS, methane production recovers to 89.7% in the presence of 5 mg Cd/g TS compared to the control. The adsorption of Cd by PVC microplastics is higher than that of sludge-substrate, reducing the bioavailability of Cd during anaerobic digestion.

Summary: This study investigated the co-digestion of concentrated landfill leachate and waste activated sludge using lab-scale reactors. The results showed that salinity levels had a significant impact on co-digestion performance, with higher salinity leading to decreased organic removal ratio and biogas and methane yields. Microbial community and diversity were also affected by salinity, with decreased microbial cell activity and damaged sludge floccule structure. The study provides important theoretical guidance for anaerobic digestion under salinity stresses.

Summary: The current waste treatment techniques in developing countries fail to meet the standards of appropriate waste management systems. The Black Soldier Fly (BSF) offers a potential and economical alternative for recycling biological waste due to its proven capabilities in waste degradation and biotransformation. This study investigated the interactions between municipal and organic waste using Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) as a growing medium, and revealed that BSFL can enhance the quality of the final product and promote the degradation of organic waste. Although BSFL cannot effectively directly degrade municipal solid waste, it can reduce it by efficiently degrading organic waste. The study also identified the optimal environmental conditions for BSFL breeding and growth, and inferred the most suitable cities for developing the BSFL waste treatment system in Pakistan.

Summary: SEM-EDS and sequential extraction methods were used to analyze the speciation, distribution, and spatial variation of phosphorus (P) in sludge. Inorganic P accounted for 91.3% of the total P, with Fe(III)-P representing the greatest percentage in the inorganic P fraction. Ascorbic acid (VC) performed well in releasing P from sludge, especially in acidic conditions. VC disrupted the sludge floc structure, releasing organic P via organic efflux.

Summary: An eco-friendly Fe2(MoO4)3 catalyst was synthesized for peroxymonosulfate activation to remove RhB. High valence Mo(VI) was found to be the active center, initiating a nonradical-dominated pathway. The leading role of 1O2 in RhB degradation was confirmed, along with the contribution of Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle that produced radicals to assist the degradation process and promote Mo(VI) regeneration. The Fe2(MoO4)3 catalyst exhibited high reactivity across a wide pH range and retained its original crystal structure and high degradation rate after multiple cycle runs.

The model revealed that pyrite-based autotrophic denitrification contributes to nitrate leaching alleviation, and the effect improves with increased drying duration. Nitrate removal efficiency is influenced by design parameters, with pyrite filling rate having a minor effect. Service area ratio and submerged zone depth are key parameters in preventing nitrate leaching.

The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.
