Biohydrogen production in an anaerobic fluidized granular bed bioreactor was strongly dependent on temperature and effluent recycle rates. At 45 °C as the effluent recycle rate was increased from 1.3 to 3.5 L/min, the total H₂ output for the bioreactor increased from 10.6 to 43.2 L/h. Volumetric H(2) productivity also increased from 2.1 to 8.7 L H₂/L/h. At 70°C as the effluent recycle was increased from 1.3 to 3.5 L/min, the total H₂ output for the bioreactor increased from 13.8 to 73.8L/h. At 70 °C volumetric H(2) productivities increased from 2.8 to 14.8L H₂/L/h as the effluent recycle rate was increased from 1.3 to 3.5 L/min. At 45 °C % H₂ was 45% and reached 67% at 70 °C. Maximum hydrogen yields at 45 °C were 1.24 and 2.2 mol H₂/mol glucose at 70 °C.

Agri-food waste (AFW) represents a significant fraction of the material generated by the agri-food industry, which itself accounts for almost one-third of the annual global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Considering the growing global population and the consequent rise in food demand, the management and valorization of this waste are essential to ensure the sustainability of the entire food chain for future generations. Recycling agri-food waste offers a promising strategy to mitigate the sector's environmental impact, particularly when the waste consists of food-grade materials that enhance its intrinsic value.

Water reservoirs are facing increasing prevalence of microcontaminants originating from agricultural runoff, industrial effluents, and domestic wastewater. The persistence of microcontaminants leads to disruptions in aquatic ecosystems and poses potential long-term health risks to humans, even at minimal concentrations. However, traditional wastewater treatment methods are inefficient to eliminate the microcontaminants because of their intricate chemical structures and low concentration.

Discharging of industrial dyes to the water stream has led to significant toxicological and environmental issues that pose health risks. Therefore, there is a requirement for efficient and economical dyes removal technologies. This study examined the adsorption of crystal violet (CV) and eosin yellow (EY) using low-cost adsorbents made from date palm endocarp film (DPEF) and chitosan-coated date palm endocarp film (CS@DPEF).

Electroplating wastewater contains high concentrations of dissolved organic matter, heavy metal ions (HMs), refractory organic compounds (ROC), and the complicated composition of effluents. Bioaugmentation presents an efficient strategy for eliminating pollution and recycling resources from electroplating effluent. In this study, simultaneous removal of pollution and sustainable resources recovery from electroplating wastewater were conducted by polyferric sulfate (PFS)-based coagulation, ultraviolet (UV)-activated persulfate (PS) (UV-APS)-based advanced oxidation coupling with bioaugmentation.
