N-heterocyclics were separated from a biooil, generated by the pyrolysis of chicken manures by column chromatography over neutral alumina and silica, and identified by Pyrolysis Field Ionization Mass Spectrometry (Py-FIMS) and Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS). Identities of chemical structures, whose presence was indicated by ESI-MS, were confirmed by comparing the Collision-Induced Dissociations (CID's) mass spectra of unknown and standards. The following seven base structures were identified: pyrazine, benzoquinoline, carbazole, phenylpyridine, indole, pyrazole and pyridine. Available hydrogens bonded to ring carbons and nitrogens on the seven N-heterocyclics were increasingly substituted by alkyl groups, mainly methylene groups (m/z 14) to yield mono-, di-, tri- methyl N-heterocyclics. In some instances, longer alkyl chains, such as ethyl, propyl, up to heptyl groups were the substituents.

Chicken bone waste is generated by the food service industry and individual households. The main issues in bone waste management are related to illegal discharge or high disposal costs. However, their valorisation raises great prospects towards the achievement of environmental sustainability and circular bioeconomy.

Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed 19 different BBFs and found that most contaminants were below EU safety thresholds, though some samples, particularly from pyrolyzed sewage sludge, exceeded acceptable levels for certain pollutants.
- * Overall, the risk of long-term contamination in agricultural soils from these BBFs appears low, with studies showing decreasing trends in hazardous substance concentrations over time.

Several food groups have been reported to contain varying concentrations of plastics. This study was designed to quantitatively investigate for the first time in Australia the presence of plastics in store-bought chicken eggs. Three commonly consumed brands of free-range, free-range organic, barn-laid and backyard (home-laid) chicken egg samples were analyzed for seven common polymers (i.

To achieve the purpose of treating waste by waste, in this study, a nitrogen-doped Fe/Mn bimetallic biochar material (FeMn@N-BC) was prepared from chicken manure for persulfate activation to degrade Bisphenol A (BPA). The FeMn@N-BC was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffract meter (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and found that N doping can form larger specific surface area. Catalytic degradation experiments showed that Fe/Mn bimetal doping not only accelerated the electron cycling rate on the catalyst surface, but also makes the biochar magnetic and easy to separate, thus reducing environmental pollution.

Article Synopsis
- Limu smoked chicken, a traditional Chinese dish, is associated with harmful substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) produced during smoking.
- Researchers developed a new process to minimize PAH generation while using pear wood for liquid smoke, evaluating its chemical contents and toxicity risks under various conditions.
- The optimal conditions for creating safer pear wood smoke liquid were determined to be a pyrolysis temperature above 350 °C, a specific particle size, and 8% sucrose content.
