In this work a comparative bioadsorption study between a biocomposite consisting of hydrolysed vineyard pruning waste entrapped in calcium alginate spheres and non entrapped vineyard residue was carried out. Results have demonstrated that the biocomposite based on lignocellulose-calcium alginate spheres removed 77.3% of dyes, while non entrapped lignocellulose eliminated only removed 27.8% of colour compounds. The experimental data were fitted to several kinetic models (pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Chien-Clayton model, intraparticle diffusion model and Bangham model); being pseudo-second order the kinetic model that better described the adsorption of dyes onto both bioadsorbents. In addition, a morphological study (roughness and shape) of alginate-vineyard biocomposite was established under extreme conditions, observing significant differences between hydrated and dehydrated alginate-vineyard biocomposite. The techniques used to carry out this morphological study consisted of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), perfilometry and 3D surface analysis.

Metabolomic Profiling and Functional Characterization of Biochar from Vine Pruning Residues for Applications in Animal Feed.

Biochar has gained interest as a feed ingredient in livestock nutrition due to its functional properties, circularity, potential to reduce environmental impact, and alignment with sustainable agro-zootechnical practices. The in vivo effects of biochar are closely tied to its physical characteristics, which vary depending on the biomass used as feedstock and the production process. This variability can result in heterogeneity among biochar types used in animal nutrition, leading to inconsistent outcomes.

Olive mill wastes (OMW) management by composting allows to obtain valuable fertilizing products, but also implies significant fluxes of greenhouse gases (GHG). For a proper OMW composting, high C- and N co-substrates are necessary, but little is known concerning their effect on GHG emissions in OMW-industrial scale composting. In this study, different co-composting agents (cattle manure (CM), poultry manure (PM), sheep manure (SM) and pig slurry solid fraction (PSSF) as N sources and olive leaves (OLW) and urban pruning residues (UPR) as bulking agents and C sources) were used for OMW composting at industrial scale.

The following work explores a sustainable approach to repurpose organic waste from poplar pruning into lignocellulosic waste-based activated carbons (LPWACs) through environmentally friendly thermochemical processes and in line with circular economy principles. The developed LPWACs, activated by potassium hydroxide (KOH) at two different temperatures and weight ratios, exhibited promising textural properties with BET surface area (S) and total pore volume (V) reaching up to 1336 m·g and 0.588 cm·g, respectively.

Although plant-derived smoke solutions (SSs) have exhibited growth-promoting properties in various plant species, their potential role in mitigating heavy metal stress, specifically in grapevines, has remained unexplored and unreported. This knowledge gap prompted the present study to evaluate the efficacy of foliar application of SSs derived from vineyard pruning waste at concentrations of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2% in mitigating Cadmium (Cd) phytotoxicity in grape saplings.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the antiproliferative activity of ethanolic extracts from mycelium using vineyard pruning waste (VPW) as elicitors, highlighting the presence of bioactive compounds like resveratrol and fatty acids.
- Different extracts were analyzed for their potential to enhance bioactive compound production, with specific compounds showing significant correlation with biomass yield.
- Results indicate that the ethanolic extracts demonstrate antiproliferative effects against certain cancer cell lines, while molecular docking suggests significant interactions with tumor necrotic factor, making these extracts promising for pharmacological applications.
