Rice, a staple food in Bangladesh, produces substantial quantities of rice bran as a by-product, offering considerable potential for advancing agriculture. While rice bran holds value, traditional uses like poultry feed and landfilling remain prevalent despite growing interest in its broader applications. This article explores the current status, stabilization methods, oil extraction techniques, and opportunities and challenges associated with rice bran utilization in Bangladesh.

Effective biomethane production from vinasse can mitigate its environmental impact by converting organic matter into a useful energy source while reducing its pollutant load. The biomethane production by anaerobic digestion (AD) process of the vinasse byproduct was examined on a laboratory scale.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAnaerobic digestion (AD) has the potential to catalyse the shift from a linear to a circular economy. However, effective treatment and management of both solid (DSF) and liquid (DLF) digestate fraction treatment and management require adopting sustainable technologies to recover valuable by-products like energy, biofuels, biochar, and nutrients. This study reviews state-of-the-art advanced technologies for DSF and DLF treatment and valorisation, using life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA) in integrated digestate management (IDM).

In response, a novel review exploration of anaerobic digestion (AD) as a means of valorising SHW within the context of the circular economy (CE) is presented. The physicochemical properties of individual SHW, representing key parameters for the correct management of the AD process, are scrutinized.
