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 …

Laccase Production by Trametes hirsuta, Trametes pubescens and Marasmius alliaceus from Agricultural Residues and ITS Usage for Environmental Remediation
Abstract: Laccase has wide range of application in environmental remediation, but this is not produced in large amount due to its expenses in production. This study deals with the production of laccases from inexpensive lignocellulosic wastes such as rice straw, rice bran and banana skin. Marasmius alliaceus gave 1773.16 U/L laccase activities when rice straw was used as substrates and the activity reached by Trametes pubescens in banana skin is 1332 …

Production of Ethanol from Rice Straw using Xylose Fermenting Yeast Isolates
Abstract: With increasing energy demand world-over, there is a need to develop cost effective technologies for the production of bio fuels using renewable sources such as lignocellulosic biomass. However, ethanol productivity is still low and the process is not economically viable. The major limiting factors include the complex and highly crystalline structure of lignocellulosics, low loading rate during saccharification and low amount of hexose and pentose sugars generated during saccharification. Distiller’s …

Fabrication and Properties of Recycled PET Reinforced Waste Cellulosic Fiber Composites
Abstract: The economic utilization of lignocellulose waste, which is now being explored, is one of the environmental problems confronting third-world nations. Waste cellulosic fiber (paper sludge, PS) composites will enable the cost of the composite to be reduced while allowing for the efficient use of a waste material that is presently burned or buried. Environmentally friendly composites made from PSreinforced recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET) matrix with the addition of SEBS-g-MA as …

Production of Cellulosic Biofuel by using Different Pretreatment Process
Abstract: The production of Biofuels is increased by 20% since 2017. Cellulosic biomass is natural and abundantly available material for biofuel production in India. The major source of Biofuel is lignocellulosic waste and the most non-feeding productive crop is cotton in India. Bioethanol production can be achieved using the cotton stalk as raw material because cotton stalk contains a high amount of cellulose (>50%). Among the all process pretreatment process is …

Development of a Natural Fiber Sand–Carbon Composite Filter Using Agave sisalana for Sustainable Domestic Sewage Treatment
Abstract: This study presents an innovative approach to decentralized domestic sewage treatment by integrating Agave sisalana fibers as the core functional component within a composite filtration system. The filtration column was constructed using a vertical 1:3:1 layered configuration comprising silica sand (top), Agave sisalana fibers (middle), and activated carbon (bottom). Comprehensive experimental analyses were conducted to evaluate the system’s efficacy in removing key water quality parameters, including turbidity, total solids (TS), …

Fabrication and Characterization of PLA-CSP Composites via FDM for Biodegradable Food Packaging
Abstract: In light of the growing need for environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional plastic packaging, this study presents the design of a food-grade, biocompatible packaging material composed of Polylactic Acid (PLA) and packed with coconut shell powder (CSP). One of the most well-known thermoplastic polymers, PLA is produced from renewable resources like sugarcane or maize starch. Its nontoxicity, biodegradability, and adherence to food safety standards and regulations provide energy. Unfortunately, PLA's …

Review on: Case study for the Construction of Particleboard Using Sugarcane Bagasse
Abstract: The major objective of this review paper was construction of particleboard using sugarcane bagasse. Particleboard is a wood-based panel product manufactured under pressure and temperature from the particles of wood or other any lignocellulose fibrous materials and a binder. It is used widely in the manufacture of furniture, floor underlayment and interior decoration. A primary lignocellulose material used in the particleboard industry is woods, but non-woods plant fibers and agro-based …

Utilisation of Rice Husk: A Review
Abstract: Rice hulls, the largest milling by-product of rice, constitute one fifth of the paddy by weight. The hulls which can be obtained at relatively low cost are in abundant supply in most developing countries, particularly in the Asian region. This paper investigates the use of rice husk, which is considered a waste, in various fields such as water purification, rubber vulcanization, polymer industry, cement and construction industries, synthesis of silica …
