AI Article Synopsis
- This paper introduces a new bio-drying process for creating wet-refuse-derived fuel (Wet-RDF) that varies based on the type of organic material and its moisture level.
- Two experiments were conducted, focusing on different combinations of organic substrate percentages and moisture content, with Experiment A showing lower heating value compared to Experiment B.
- Results indicated that an aeration rate of 0.4 m/kg/day is optimal, leading to a significant reduction in moisture and an increase in heating value, making the improved wet-RDF suitable for the local cement industry.
Article Abstract
This paper proposes novel wet-refuse-derived fuel (Wet-RDF) bio-drying process with the variation of initial organic substrate and moisture content. The bio-drying was carried out using 0.3 m lysimeter aerated continuously at different rates. Two conditions of Wet-RDF feedstock tested included: Experiment A ‒ 37% organic substrate and 58% moisture content with an initial heating value of 2,889 kcal/kg; and Experiment B ‒ 28% organic substrate and 35% moisture content with an initial heating value of 4,174 kcal/kg. The bio-drying was performed in both experiments under negative ventilation mode and non-ventilation mode, the ventilation mode was set at the aeration rates of 0.2 m/kg/day and 0.4 m/kg/day. The results suggest that the optimum aeration rate was 0.4 m/kg/day, achieving a 30% moisture reduction and a 60% heating value increase from their initial values. As a result, the improved wet-RDF qualified for the local cement industry's standard in terms of heating value.

The first successful synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles using CyreneTM as a biodegradable and non-toxic solvent in click chemistry has been developed. In contrast to previous methods, this sustainable approach allows product isolation by simple precipitation in water, eliminating the need for organic solvent extractions and column chromatography purifications, thus minimizing waste consumption while reducing operational costs. The protocol, performed also at gram scale, has broad applicability and versatility, as shown with complex substrates like biologically active coumarins or triazole-linked bifunctional molecules.

Organic micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, and food additives, are widespread in the environment, causing potentially toxic effects. Human waste is a direct source of micropollutants, with the majority of pharmaceuticals being excreted through urine. Urine contains its own microbiota with the potential to catalyze micropollutant biotransformations.

The role of mycorrhizal associations in controlling forest soil carbon storage remains under debate. This uncertainty is potentially due to an incomplete understanding of their influence on the free-living soil microbiome and its functions. In this study, rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils were collected from eight arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and seven ectomycorrhizal (ECM) tree species in a temperate forest.

Background And Aim: Postbiotics are functional bioactive compounds or bioactive molecules with beneficial effects on health and functional activities in humans or livestock, produced by probiotic bacteria or yeast. Several postbiotics, including enzymes, short-chain fatty acids, amino acids, extracellular polysaccharides, microbial cell fragments, and teichoic acids, are currently being widely studied. This study aimed to explore the potential of secondary metabolites of and as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast isolated from Budu (fermented fish) which can act as postbiotics through rumen fermentation.

Nickel-based metal-organic frameworks, denoted as three-dimensional nickel trimesic acid frameworks (3D Ni-TMAF), are gaining significant attention for their application in nonenzymatic glucose sensing due to their unique properties. Ni-MOFs possess a high surface area, tunable pore structures, and excellent electrochemical activity, which makes them ideal for facilitating electron transfer and enhancing the catalytic oxidation of glucose. This research describes a new electrochemical enzyme-mimic glucose biosensor in biological solutions that utilizes 3D nanospheres Ni-TMAF created layer-by-layer on a highly porous nickel substrate.
