Hydrogen creates water during combustion. Therefore, it is expected to be the most promising environmentally friendly energy alternative in the coming years. This study used extract liquid obtained from the waste nigella sativa generated by the black cumin oil industry. The performance of biological hydrogen manufacturing via dark fermentation was investigated in the fluidized bed reactor (FBR) and completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) under the operation conditions of pH 5.0, 4.0, and 6.0 and a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 36 and 24 h. The performance of hydrogen manufacturing was determined to be good under an organic loading ratio (OLR) of 6.66 g.nigella sativa extract/L and pH 4.0. According to these conditions, the maximum amount of hydrogen in CSTR and FBR was found to be 20.8 and 7.6 mL H 2 /day, respectively. The operating process of the reactors displayed that a reduction in HRT augmented biohydrogen manufacturing. The work that used mixed culture found that the dominant microbial population at pH 4.0 involved Hydrogenimonas thermophila, Sulfurospirillum carboxydovorans, Sulfurospirillum cavolei, Sulfurospirillum alkalitolerans, and Thiofractor thiocaminus. No research on waste black cumin extract was found in biohydrogen studies, and it was determined that this substrate source is applicable for biological hydrogen manufacturing.

The application of biological pre-hydrolysis has become one of the predominant pre-treatment in anaerobic digestion (AD) to enhance biogas production from the Lignocellulosic and cellulosic fiber that contains agro waste such as uncooked vegetable waste. Effective management of this market waste may reduce environmental pollution. With the help of suitable pre-treatment process, the biogas generation can be effectively improved. This study aims to determine the optimum biological pre-hydrolysis (BPH) time for Market Yard Vegetable Waste (MYVW) and its impact on the biochemical biogas potential on the laboratory scale and pilot scale at ambient temperature conditions. The AD was run in a conventional mode for 300 days (without BPH), followed by a further 120 days operated with BPH-pretreated MYVW with the same 18-h BPH duration. A comparison was also made between the biogas production of MYVW’s pilot-scale biogas plant and the lab-scale BGP test. A comprehensive analysis of the biochemical process stability and performance of biogas production was performed by comparing VSLR and OLR, as well as other parameters in both phases with the feeding pattern. The novelty of this study indicates an enhancement of biogas production. A conventional AD process (without BPH) produced an average of 0.59 L-biogas/day/g VS fed. With BPH-pretreated MYVW, biogas production averaged 0.69 L-biogas/day/g VS fed. As a result, the AD process using BPH produces 16.94 ± 1.0% more biogas than the conventional AD process in terms of L-biogas/day/g VS fed.

Since the Industrial Revolution, the increase in global average temperature to about 1.5 °C brings sustainable bioenergy into action. This not only highlighted the limited and mortal nature of fossil raw material but also enforces the immediate biological products switch. The processes involved to attain a higher growth level coupling with achieving net zero emission is the supreme concern in the coming decades. The challenge is to showcase premodern to current bio-based economy conversion. This can be done by highlighting the economy and ameliorating process strategies of dominant regions of the globe. The relationship between carbon sequestration and emission, biofuel, and biorefineries as the priority of bioeconomy and CO 2 as a repulsive feedstock for biocatalysis is discussed. We emphasize the main agenda of bioeconomy to simply bypass the use of fossil raw material by recruiting bio-based products/processes. The agenda has a certain potential to upgrade the economic bar by simply adding values to the yield.

Being an inevitable by-product of the operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), sewage sludge may cause serious environmental problems. Thus, the proper treatment and management of such waste is currently a challenge of great importance. Due to the significant concentration of various contaminants, the direct application of sewage sludge in agriculture is often limited. Nevertheless, this waste is rich in valuable compounds, among which humic substances (HS) are recognized to be one of the most important. A plethora of studies have shown the extensive application potential of HS. However, literature data also evidenced that HS may constitute obstacles for efficient wastewater treatment and sewage sludge management. The current review article discusses the fate of HS in WWTPs. Moreover, the necessity of removing and recovering such compounds from wastewater treatment systems was highlighted. Attention was also drawn to the beneficial features of humic compounds and avenues for their various possible applications.

Any material when utilized for a required period of time and segment, the leftover residues of those materials are known as waste. Enormous waste is generated during such wear and tear process of materials depending on the usage and functions in a routine lifestyle. Those generated waste when overloaded beyond the capacity of natural recycling processes, would influence the environment and human health. Hence, the waste generated from used materials should be managed according to the environmental impact. Even though wastes are also sometimes rich in organic compounds, nutrients, and energy resources, they are not experimented and managed appropriately. Recently, different feasible techniques are invented and followed to recover and reuse the efficient resources that can create and support sustainable livelihood by creating green economy effects by reducing waste. In this chapter, the emphasis has been given to providing an overview of recent advancements on bio-based waste management and product recoveries such as microbes mediated approaches, biorefineries for waste valorization, and bioenergy from industrial waste.

Ever-growing human population, their need for food, energy and water along with various deadly pollutants are the major threat to the mankind. Hence, there is a need to develop sustainable technologies to provide constant supply of food and energy to enable a circular economy. Wastes in developing countries, if properly managed, can be potential source of energy, recycled materials and revenue. For waste treatment, technologies such as fermentation, anaerobic digestion (AD), pyrolysis, incineration, and gasification can be used. However, selection of the right technology and proper process will depend on the type of waste, it’s generation and the desired economy of scale. Hence there is a need to develop an integrated biorefinery approach so that the waste can be treated to recover energy, produce various value-added products and reduce greenhouse gases for a sustainable environment. Global availability of freshwater is reducing alarmingly. Majority of the freshwater is used for human consumption and, to a great extent, for industry and agriculture. However, all such anthropogenic activities lead to the generation of wastewater in large quantities that need to be recycled effectively to reduce dependence on freshwater. Biorefineries based on wastewater can play a great role as has been recorded in different parts of the world. This will generate closing the gap in water cycle, recovery of energy and valuable biochemicals, new business opportunities, reduction in greenhouse gases, saving natural resources which eventually will lead to development of a sustainable industrial ecosystem and establishment of a circular bioeconomy.
