Intensive growth of poultry production leads to generation of a large-scale accumulation of wastes, which is a critical concern for poultry farming. An environmentally friendly and effective solution is still being sought for sustainable management of poultry manure. In this study, evaluation of poultry manure both as a carbon source for production of solid fuels and activated carbon and as a phosphorus source has been investigated. The study focuses on the following: (1) biochar and hydrochar production under different process conditions for production of carbon-rich fuel from poultry manure; (2) phosphorus recovery by acid leaching-alkali precipitation from manure ash, biochar, and hydrochar; and (3) activated carbon production from acid-leached hydrochar and biochar. The results reveal that production of biochar and hydrochar is not a promising method for upgrading laying hen manure into an energy-dense solid fuel. Phosphorus in ash and chars was recovered as amorphous calcium phosphate with yields of 57.3-48.5% by acid leaching-alkali precipitation. Untreated and acid-leached chars were subjected to a chemical activation process with KOH and ZnCl to produce activated carbon. Due to the catalytic effect of inorganics in chars, the KOH activation resulted in a very low yield of activated carbon. The surface areas of activated carbons prepared using ZnCl were comparable to activated carbons derived from typical biomass using ZnCl.

Adsorption seemed like an excellent physicochemical process employed for wastewater treatment. In the last few decades, significant improvements have been made in efficiency and economy to remove contaminants from wastewater using several adsorbents. However, less attention was paid to the regeneration of used adsorbents.

Chemocatalytic synthesis of lactic acid (LA) from biomass sugars involves heat-absorbing multistep cascade reactions mediated by different active sites, often encountering unsatisfactory selectivity. Here, a hole-localized carbon nitride-based photocatalyst (C-CNN) is constructed by covalent binding of heptazine and triazole skeleton via C─N bonds and further conjugated interaction with activated carbon, achieving the complete conversion of various biomass sugars to LA (up to 98.6% selectivity) at room temperature for 2 h.

Smads and their transcription factor partners mediate the transcriptional responses of target cells to secreted ligands of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family, including those of the conserved bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family, yet only a small number of direct target genes have been well characterized. In the BMP2/4 ortholog DBL-1 regulates multiple biological functions, including body size, via a canonical receptor-Smad signaling cascade. Here, we identify functional binding sites for SMA-3/Smad and its transcriptional partner SMA-9/Schnurri based on ChIP-seq peaks (identified by modEncode) and expression differences of nearby genes identified from RNA-seq analysis of corresponding mutants.

The ecological vulnerability and extreme physicochemical properties of tailings in high-altitude mining areas pose challenges to the ecological restoration of tailings. Therefore, the aims of the current study were to remediate tailings in high-altitude mining areas by combining ryegrass () and activated carbon. Ryegrass potting experiments with Cu and Pb-Zn tailings and the two tailings amended with activated carbon.
