Abstract

The main rule included in IPPC directive (Directive 96/61/EC) obligating installation owners to operate in the sustainable way in order to reduce the impact on the environment. Water resources are limited, therefore many industries, in particular in water-stressed areas, must invest in water-saving programs. In particular, this problem applies to paper plants, which should limit their consumption of fresh water. However, the main environmental consequence in the production of pulp and paper refers not only to the consumption of water resources, but also to the emission of wastewater resulting from the production process. This paper focuses on the concept of sustainable management of water and wastewater. The proposed approach is demonstrated with a case study. The different treatment facilities option has been tested to find the optimal solution to minimalize consumption of fresh water and reduce effluent loads. The optimal water-wastewater configuration was found by testing several configurations. We concluded that striving for a nearly full circulation loop closure is not always justified by sustainable development and should be assessed in an integrated way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The choice of pretreatment is a very important in bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. This helps to eliminate lignin partition between cellulose and hemicellulose. However, various methods generate diverse effects on the material structure and composition. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to delignify sugarcane bagasse by ozonolysis, followed by hydrolysis and fermentation. Also, the morphology of the samples was analyzed using SEM, while hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin content were characterized by the Chesson process. The sample was hydrolyzed using 1% (v/v) sulfuric acid and the bioethanol fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae was detected by gas chromatography. Furthermore, ozone was applied for 90 minutes at pH 3.0 in the deligni cation process. This produces cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin estimated at 59%, 22%, and 6%, respectively. However, ozonolysis was employed to reduce lignin for up to 217%. Meanwhile, the hydrolysed samples were known to rapidly decrease the reducing sugar from 19.342 to 2.86 mg/L after heating at 100oC. Subsequently, the fermentation stage recorded the highest ethanol production, estimated at 0.79% (v/v). The result showed lignin removal was conducted in an eco-friendly and ef cient condition. Therefore, the need for further study is possible in order to optimize certain parameters for maximum bioethanol production.

Abstract

The amount of sargassum seaweed washed ashore on the beaches of Africa, Brazil, Central America and the Caribbean has increased to the point where it has become a social, environmental and financial issue. This research evaluates the potential for Sargassum spp. of the Mexican Caribbean coast to be used in the production of biomethane by estimating: a) stoichiometric methane production (SMP), b) biochemical methane potential (BMP) and c) biodegradability index (BI). The use of a sigmoidal model generalized to substrate to inoculum ratios is proposed, to predict the biomethane production during the anaerobic digestion (AD) of the sargassum. The information obtained shows the seaweed’s potential for biomethane production and will be useful for estimates and scaling when implementing energy harnessing systems for sargassum in the Caribbean. The use of biomass is a key element in the move towards a circular economy. It is hoped that the use of technologies like AD leads to the integration of this seaweed into an economic value chain, thereby reducing the adverse effects of its presence on the ecosystem.

Abstract

The response surface methodology was used to investigate the removal of Pb (II) from an aqueous solution using banana peel with varying operating parameters in a batch mode. The central composite design was used to study the interactive effects of the operating parameters (initial concentration, pH of the solution, adsorbent dosage and the particle size). The banana peel was characterized by FTIR which showed the functional groups, while SEM and EDS were used to study morphology and elemental composition. The optimum removal of Pb(II) was 98.146 % at initial concentration 100 mg/L, pH 5, adsorbent dosage 0.55 g and particle size 75 ��m. The deviation between the experimental and the model predicted percentage removal was 5.17 %. The analysis of variance showed that the regression model was significant with a low probability and the correlation coefficient R2 value of 0.9153. The results showed that the biosorption of Pb(II) was highly influenced by the pH and the adsorbent dosage, while the particle size had little effect on the biosorption process.
