Our latest : Mathematical Modeling and Machine Learning Approaches for Biogas Production from Anaerobic Digestion

buff.ly/bta2D4z

Anaerobic digestion is an effective approach for converting organic waste to biogas and a sustainable solution for waste management and renewable energy generation. This review suggests the integration of models and machine learning, especially artificial neural networks, for optimizing biogas production, with a focus on addressing existing research gaps by developing robust hybrid models and real-time systems.

Agro-residue valorization for thermostable xylanase production by Aspergillus caespitosus and its eco-friendly application in pulp biobleaching

Aspergillus caespitosus demonstrated efficient xylanase production using agro-industrial substrates under solid-state fermentation, achieving up to 2400 U g⁻¹ enzymatic activity under optimal conditions with wheat bran and sugarcane bagasse. The xylanase showed promise in kraft pulp biobleaching, reducing the kappa number by 15% without cellulose degradation, suggesting potential applications in environmentally friendly processes.

Thymol Encapsulated Pickering Emulsion Coated Paper for Enhancing Cherry Tomato Preservation Performance

Thymol, recognized for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, is limited by volatility in food preservation; however, this study found that when thymol was encapsulated in a zein/pectin-stabilized Pickering emulsion at a 2 wt% concentration, it demonstrated an encapsulation efficiency of 91.4% and a DPPH radical scavenging efficacy of 98.2%. The thymol-loaded paper significantly reduced cherry tomato spoilage to 7.3% over 15 days, highlighting its potential as an effective postharvest preservation strategy.

Multi-model collaborative finite element approach for service-state analysis of timber components

The proposed multi-model collaborative finite element analysis method addresses limitations in current numerical models for timber components by simulating their complex multi-stage mechanical behavior under diverse service conditions. Digital Image Correlation measurements validate that the method effectively elucidates mechanical mechanisms, providing an efficient tool for the lifespan prediction of historic timber structures.

Waste Tetra Pak and Wood Shavings Composites: Flame Retardant Modification

This study explores the utilization of waste Tetra Pak (WTP) to partially replace wood shavings in composites, modified with boric acid/borax, ammonium polyphosphate, and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate to improve flame retardancy and mechanical properties. The DOT-modified composite specimen (Z3) enhanced the limiting oxygen index to 34.3%, a 25.6% increase compared to the control specimen, and achieved a char yield of 32.0%, 4.16 times higher than the control, indicating a significant improvement in thermal stability.

Using recyclable deep eutectic solvents with wheat straw to produce -based .

This study introduces a recyclable (DES) approach for wheat straw refining, reducing lignin retention from 18.4% to 13.6% and extending the DES recyclability from two to four cycles. Lignin-derived silver nanoparticles were synthesized with a 67% higher surface area compared to those from alkali lignin, offering enhanced material properties for composite applications.

Effect of Cellulose Nanofibrils in Direct Melt-Blending of Poly(Lactic Acid) and Poly(Butylene Succinate) for 3D Printing

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) biopolymers are extensively used in 3D printing with potential improvements in toughness and biodegradability when blended with poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and reinforced with (CNF). The integration of 1% CNF in a 70:30 PLA/PBS blend enhanced water absorption by 50% but decreased PLA crystallinity, demonstrating promising application in 3D printing for biomedical uses.
