Microalgae Based Wastewater Treatment: A Sustainable Approach
Abstract: The global water crisis and strict environmental policies demand advanced wastewater treatment techniques that combine pollution control with resource recovery. Microalgae-based wastewater treatment has emerged as a sustainable biotechnological solution that aligns with circular economy principles by simultaneously eliminating contaminants and producing valuable biomass that can be converted into useful products. This review paper provides an in- depth assessment of the application of microalgae in treating municipal, industrial, and agricultural …

White-Rot Fungi-Based Bioprocessing for Circular Bioeconomy & Valorization of Lignocellulosic Waste
Abstract: The escalating global demand for sustainable resource management and the imperative to reduce dependence on fossil-based products have positioned the circular bioeconomy as a transformative paradigm for the 21st century. Lignocellulosic biomass, generated abundantly as agricultural and forestry residues, constitutes one of the most underexploited renewable carbon sources on Earth, yet its recalcitrant structure, interlinking cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, has long impeded its efficient valorization. White-rot fungi (WRF), predominantly belonging …

A Comprehensive Review of Green Hybrid Polymer–Inorganic Composite Systems Incorporating Palm Tree Ash and Titanium Dioxide
Abstract: The increasing requests on sustainable and high performance systems have motivated extensive investigations on polymer-based hybrid systems with bio-derived and/or functional inorganic fillers. In this review, the importance of palm tree ash (PTA) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as synergistic fillers for polymer–inorganic hybrid composites, particularly about structure–property relations, interfacial adhesion and durability performance, is discussed. Agricultural waste-derived palm tree ash (PTA) plays as a silica-rich filler which not only aids …

AI and Big Data for Optimized Water Resource Management in Arid Regions
Abstract: Water scarcity in arid regions is an escalating global challenge, driven by climate change, population growth, and increasing demands from urban, industrial, and agricultural sectors. Effective water resource management (WRM) is crucial for sustaining livelihoods, economic stability, and infrastructure resilience. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data offer innovative solutions for optimizing water use, enhancing efficiency, and improving sustainability in water-scarce environments. This paper …
