Emerging waste valorisation techniques to moderate the hazardous impacts, and their path towards sustainability

Application of solid-state fermentation by microbial biotechnology for bioprocessing of agro-industrial wastes from 1970 to 2020: A review and bibliometric analysis

“…Nambi et al (2017) and Yafetto et al (2019) recently used slightly modified approaches for solid-state fermentation studies that aimed to enrich the protein contents of grains and cassava peels. These differences in approach notwithstanding, solid-state fermentation is technologically feasible across the board, but at different stages of development, both at the laboratory level and on pilot scales (Lin et al, 2020;Ŝelo et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2022). To this end, several studies have been conducted in countries whose economies are predominantly dependent on agriculture (Ravindran et al, 2018) to develop state-of-the-art technologies for waste valorization as alternatives to conventional waste management strategies (Wang et al, 2022).…”

To sustain the waste valorization, assessment of environmental, social and economic impacts of the emerging valorization technologies through life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA) is critical (Al-Wahaibi et al, 2020;Osman et al, 2021; Figure 1.…”

Analysis of Material-Characterization Properties of Post-Production Waste—The Case of Apple Pomace

“…Adding value to the waste material will help solve this problem and increase the benefits. The primary goal of waste valorization is the transition to a circular economy and the mitigation of the hazardous effects of waste [ 8 ]. Pomace is a by-product of the processing of fruit into juices and drinks, cider and wine.…”

Optical Analysis of Blast Furnace Gas Combustion in a Laboratory Premixed Burner

“…Thus, industrial processes can increase their efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions. In order to meet these objectives, several strategies are being promoted, such as waste heat recovery, 1 waste stream valorization, 2 and electrical flexibility. 3 In the case of the steel industry, multiple waste gas streams with calorific value are produced.…”
