“…For instance, although biofuels is the fifth ES cluster in terms of the number of publications, there were no articles identified at the intersection of MEP. An additional search revealed only 12 articles when searching biofuels and manufacturing firms in the Web of Science (i.e., not related to “performance”); these were mostly in relation to the manufacturing of biofuels without addressing environmental implications [ 81 ]. Similarly, little research has been conducted on the privatization of manufacturing firms and its implications for ES.…”

This article reviews literature on manufacturing enterprise performance (MEP) and environmental sustainability (ES) to identify their commonalities and distinguishing factors; it is expected to help determine gaps and paths for future research. Topics are classified based on patterns in the citation networks of 7308 and 6275 MEP and ES articles, respectively. Additionally, a semantic linkage was computed to reveal overlap in vocabulary between the two topics. A total of 17 and 21 topics were found in MEP and ES, respectively, where the main shared theme was the green supply chain. However, research on biofuels is unique to ES, and privatization is unique to MEP, among others. The concept of “performance” has also been covered by MEP and ES researchers. This article provides an objective snapshot of current research trends based on quantitative data, and the findings may be used to guide future research directions at the intersection of MEP and ES.

Characterization of resin extracted from guayule (Parthenium argentatum): A dataset including GC–MS and FT-ICR MS

Guayule ( Parthenium argentatum ), a shrub native to the arid region of the U.S. southwest and Mexico belonging to the Asteraceae family, is a source of high quality, hypoallergenic natural rubber with applications in pharmaceutical, tire, and food industries. Production of rubber results in a substantial amount of resin-containing residues which contain a wide variety of secondary metabolites (sesquiterpene esters, triterpene alcohols, fatty acids, etc.). In order to enhance the economic viability of guayule as an industrial crop, value-added use of the residues is needed and has the potential to reduce gross rubber production costs. The main objective of this research is the characterization of guayule resin using rapid and accurate analytical techniques to identify compounds of potential commercial value. Guayule resin is inherently complex and includes many high-molecular-weight and non-volatile compounds that are not easy to observe using traditional chromatographic techniques. The combination of two mass spectroscopy techniques: gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) and high-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectroscopy (FT-ICR MS), were used to characterize the composition of the extracted resin from guayule ( Parthenium argentatum ). FT-ICR MS was used to characterize hundreds of compounds with over a wide range of molecular weights and degrees of aromaticity at higher levels of mass accuracy than other forms of mass spectrometry. GC–MS was used to identify volatile compounds like mono- and sesquiterpene compounds.

“…Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a thermochemical valorization process that converts many types of biomass into an energy-dense bio-crude oil and co-products: gases, aqueous phase, and char. Among the feedstocks that have been studied are lignocellulosic biomass (Christensen et al, 2014;Zhu et al, 2014;Alhassan et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2018;Cheng et al, 2020b), micro-and macro-algae (Zhou et al, 2010;Anastasakis and Ross, 2011;Duan and Savage, 2011;Jena et al, 2011;Vardon et al, 2011;Cheng et al, 2018), manure and animal byproducts (Chen et al, 2014;León et al, 2019), sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants (Snowden-Swan et al, 2016;Kapusta, 2018), and food processing waste (Déniel et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2018;Bayat et al, 2019). HTL utilizes sub-critical water (200-370 • C; 10-30 MPa) to decompose complex macro-molecules into lowermolecular-weight products that then polymerize into larger compounds that form bio-crude oil.…”

“…A major limitation in previous studies for the characterization of bio-crude oil chemistry is the dependence on gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC/MS), which is not able to detect many of the compounds in bio-crude oil (Aierzhati et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2019a;Marx et al, 2020). High-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) has been employed to characterize highly complex samples like fossil fuels (Shi et al, 2010), algal HTL bio-crude oil (Cheng et al, 2019), pyrolysis bio-oil (Palacio Lozano et al, 2020, and natural resin (Vahur et al, 2012;Cheng et al, 2020b). FT-ICR MS provides high mass resolution and mass accuracy, and is able to resolve thousands of small mass splits in complex samples.…”

Increasing food waste generation (1.6 billion tons per year globally) due to urban and industrial development has prompted researchers to pursue alternative waste management methods. Energy valorization of food waste is a method that can reduce the environmental impacts of landfills and the global reliance on crude oil for liquid fuels. In this study, food waste was converted to bio-crude oil via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) in a batch reactor at moderate temperatures (240–295°C), reaction times (0–60 min), and 15 wt.% solids loading. The maximum HTL bio-crude oil yield (27.5 wt.%), and energy recovery (49%) were obtained at 240°C and 30 min, while the highest bio-crude oil energy content (40.2 MJ/kg) was observed at 295°C. The properties of the bio-crude oil were determined using thermogravimetric analysis, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection, CHNS elemental analysis, and ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectroscopy (FT-ICR MS). FT-ICR MS results indicated that the majority of the detected compounds in the bio-crude oil were oxygen-containing species. The O4 class was the most abundant class of heteroatom-containing compounds in all HTL bio-crude oil samples produced at 240°C; the O2 class was the most abundant class obtained at 265 and 295°C. The total FAME content of the bio-crude oil was 15–37 wt.%, of which the most abundant were palmitic acid (C16:0), palmitoleic acid (C16:1), stearic acid (C18:0), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (C18:3N:3, C18:3N:6).
