As a result of the current high throughput of the fast fashion collections and the concomitant decrease in product lifetime, we are facing enormous amounts of textile waste. Since textiles are often a blend of multiple fibers (predominantly cotton and polyester) and contain various different components, proper waste management and recycling are challenging. Here, we describe a high-yield process for the sequential chemical recycling of cotton and polyester from mixed waste textiles.

The present study aimed to explore the potential of macroalgal hydrolysate to serve as an economical substrate for the growth of the oleaginous microbes Aspergillus sp. SY-70, Rhizopus arrhizus SY-71 and Aurantiochytrium sp. YB-05 for lipid and DHA production under laboratory conditions.

This work investigates the optimization of medium-chain carboxylate (MCC) production through xylan mixed-culture monofermentation. The pH screening in batch assays showed that the hydrolysis stage and selectivity towards MCC precursors were optimised at pH 6. Subsequently, a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) were operated at different Hydraulic Retention Times (HRT), revealing that the SBR at HRT 2 days yielded the highest caproic acid since lactic acid availability and chain elongation process were balanced.

Conversion of rice straw into nanocellulose offers a sustainable approach to agricultural waste management, yielding an industrially important product with potential applications. This work focuses on effectively extracting pure cellulose from both widely used Basmati and Parmal rice straw (BRS and PRS) using less alkali concentrations (3-5 % NaOH). The process was optimized via Box Behnken design at 90-150 °C temperatures for 90-150 min, which resulted in 88.

Cell wall greatly affects Al tolerance of plants, but the precise mechanisms by which the cell wall modulating Al tolerance remains largely unknown. In the present study, Al tolerant alfalfa varieties (WL525 and WL903) accumulated less Al in root tips, cell wall and pectins, averagely decreased by 23.8 %, 41.
