Summary: The research showed that immobilization of Rhizopus using different materials can significantly enhance fumaric acid production. Polystyrene foam was identified as the most suitable support material for this purpose, leading to a considerable increase in the yield of fumaric acid. Using apple pomace ultrafiltration sludge as sole feedstock, in combination with intermittent feeding, can further increase the production of fumaric acid.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the pretreatment characteristics of food waste by Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus oryzaecorticis, and their contribution to the structure of fulvic acid and humic acid. The results showed that microbial treatments led to a decrease in pH and Bacillus oryzaecorticis degraded starch and released reducing sugar, providing OH and COOH to fulvic acid molecules. Bacillus licheniformis showed a positive effect on the structure of humic acid, which had higher OH, CH3 and aliphatics. This study provides evidence for the application of Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus oryzaecorticis in waste management.

Summary: Experimental studies showed that fungal biomass significantly affects the interfacial mass flow of reaction products by adsorbing onto the phase separation interface, creating a physical barrier against solute transfer. Adding 1-octanol to the organic phase can partly counteract this negative influence and improve the solvent's ability to dissolve the complex, with n-heptane showing the most significant improvement in amplification factor compared to other solvents.

Summary: This study developed a novel biorefinery method for waste wheat straw, in which a natural surfactant humic acid was used during acidic pretreatment to enhance enzymatic saccharification efficiency. The success of enzymatic digestion was attributed to improved accessibility of cellulose to cellulase and structural changes in lignocellulose. These findings suggest that humic acid may be a beneficial surfactant in biorefinery processes and could potentially inspire research into other natural surfactants.

Summary: Research has shown that enhancing coalbed methane (CBM) production can be achieved by adding microbes or stimulating indigenous microbes within coalbeds. However, the application of single purified microbes has not received much attention. In this study, an acetogenic bacterium, Clostridium sp., was used to treat Tiefa anthracite from Liaoning Province, China. The results showed that this bacterium could change the physical properties of the coal by increasing its permeability and porosity, offering a potential alternative method for in situ coalbed methane development in the future.

Summary: The study investigated the antimicrobial resistome in wastewater treatment plants using shotgun metagenomic analysis. The results showed that there were two locations where the transition of the resistome occurred during wastewater treatment, resulting in a distinctive resistome in influent wastewater, activated sludge, and treated effluent. The resistome in influent wastewater was characterized by a high abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) on clinically important drugs, while sludge retained a higher abundance of multidrug ARGs associated with efflux pump. Seasonality was the primary factor affecting the resistome in influent wastewater, which partially influenced the subsequent resistome of activated sludge and treated effluent. Importantly, some ARGs on clinically important drugs in influent wastewater passed through the biological treatment to be discharged in the treated effluent, except in the membrane bioreactor process.

Summary: Non-conventional amines are being researched worldwide to overcome the limitations of traditional amines like MEA and MDEA. Adequate process and thermodynamic models are crucial for understanding the applicability and performance of these amines in CO2 absorption, but studies on process modeling for these amines are limited. This study used rate-based modeling and Deshmukh-Mather method to model CO2 absorption by DETA solution in a packed column, validated the model with experimental data, and conducted a sensitivity analysis of mass transfer correlations. The study also compared the CO2 absorption efficiency of DETA solution with an ionic solvent [bmim]-[PF6] and highlighted the importance of finding optimum operational parameters for maximum absorption efficiency.

Summary: The utilization of smart water in EOR operations has gained attention, but more research is needed to understand the complex mechanisms involved. This study investigated the interfacial tension between smart water and crude oil, considering factors such as salt, pH, asphaltene type, and aged smart water. The results revealed that the hydration of ions in smart water plays a key role in its efficacy, with acidic and basic asphaltene acting as intrinsic surfactants. The pH also influenced the interfacial tension, and the aged smart water's interaction with crude oil depended on asphaltene type, salt, and salinity.

Summary: In this study, high-performance solid catalysts based on phosphotungstic acid (HPW) supported on Zr-SBA-15 were synthesized and evaluated for the one-pot conversion of furfural (FUR) to γ-valerolactone (GVL). The catalysts were characterized using various techniques, and the ratio of HPW and Zr was found to significantly affect the selectivity of GVL. The HPW/Zr-SBA-15 (2-4-15) catalyst exhibited the highest GVL yield (83%) under optimized reaction conditions, and it was determined that a balance between Bronsted acid sites (BAS) and Lewis acid sites (LAS) was crucial for achieving higher catalytic performance. The reaction parameters and catalyst stability were also investigated.
