Advances in Medium-Chain Fatty Acids Production from Biowastes: Process Engineering Strategies and Mechanism

The rapid accumulation of biowastes has intensified the need for advanced biorefinery technologies to valorize organic residues into high-value recyclable carbon resources. Chain elongation (CE) offers a promising route for upgrading low-value biowaste-derived substrates into high-value medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA...

Digestate-Derived Biochar Modulates Valuable Lactic Acid Production from Food Waste Fermentation: Comparison of Hydrochar and Pyrochar

Bioconversion of food waste (FW) into lactic acid represents a sustainable strategy for circular resource recovery. However, lactic acid production is often limited by rate-limiting hydrolysis and competitive metabolic diversion in mixed-culture systems. This study systematically investigated the regulatory mechanism...

Hydrothermal versus photo-aged polyethylene microplastics: Aging mode-dependent oxidative stress and enzyme inhibition in waste activated sludge fermentation.

The aging of microplastics (MPs) inevitably occurs during sludge treatment, leading to the leaching of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and associated chemical additives. However, the impact and mechanism of aged leachate on anaerobic fermentation of waste activated sludge (WAS), particularly its ecological risks and imp...

Interpretable machine learning prediction and multi-objective optimization of chiral lactic acid production from organic waste fermentation.

Accurate prediction and control of chiral lactic acid (LA) production from complex waste streams remain challenging due to nonlinear metabolic interactions and process variability. Unlike previous machine learning (ML) studies that focused solely on predicting total lactic acid (T-LA), this study developed an integrate...

Deciphering the synergistic mechanism of quorum sensing and sulfate-reducing bacteria for directed acetate conversion during sludge fermentation.

The restricted bioconversion of C3-C5 short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to acetate due to thermodynamic limitations is the main bottleneck during sludge fermentation. To alleviate this constraint, this study developed an optimized approach by integrating quorum sensing regulation with incomplete-oxidation sulfate-reducin...
