High ammonia concentration in wastewater can hinder methane production rate in anaerobic digestion (AD)-microbial electrosynthesis systems (ADMES). To address this issue, a dual-chamber reactor was fabricated using an anion exchange membrane (AEM) to separate the dark-fermentation (DF) and ADMES process, preventing ammonia migration from the DF chamber to the ADMES chamber. As a result, the DF-ADMES achieved a high methane yield based on chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 0.35 L CH/gCOD compared to control operation AD (0.23 L CH/gCOD) and ADMES (0.30 L CH/gCOD). Additionally, hydrogen could be recovered from the DF chamber which improved the energy efficiency of the DF-ADMES reactor (91.7 %) as compared to control AD (53.4 %) and ADMES (71.9 %). Thus, a dual-chamber DF-ADMES with an AEM separator could be a feasible design for scalable treatment of high nitrogen-containing wastewater and high bioenergy recovery.

This paper investigates the use of spent tyre rubber as a precursor for synthesising adsorbents to recover rare earth elements. Through pyrolysis and CO activation, tyre rubber is converted into porous carbonaceous materials with surface properties suited for rare earth element adsorption. The study also examines the efficiency of leaching rare earth elements from NdFeB magnets using optimised acid leaching methods, providing insights into recovery processes.

Food waste condensate (FWC) is a valuable source for recovering short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) through methods such as supported liquid membrane contactors. Containing organic compounds like acetate, propionate, and butyrate, FWC offers a rich substrate for efficient SCFA extraction. Recovering SCFAs from FWC provides notable environmental advantages, including reducing waste and generating high-value products for industries such as bioenergy and chemical production.

Three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold significant promise for a variety of applications. However, conventional design approaches using regular building blocks limit the structural diversity of 3D COFs. Here we design and synthesize two 3D COFs, designated as JUC-644 and JUC-645, through a methodology that relies on using eight-connected building blocks with reduced symmetry.

The novelty of this study is to examine the impact of different solvent systems, namely organic and deep eutectic solvents, on recovery yield, antioxidant activity, poly-dispersity index, and functional properties of microbial dextran. The optimized conditions for maximum dextran recovery were obtained using organic solvent found to be: supernatant: organic solvent - 1:4 v/v; organic solvents: ethanol, isopropanol, and acetone; temperature: 0 °C; and time: 16 h. Though a similar structure was obtained for dextran recovered using various solvents, the degree of branching varied, with DES-precipitated dextran having the highest branching of 20 % α-(1,3) linkages.
