“…Spent coffee grounds (SCGs), one of the major by-products from the production of coffee drinks and other products, are produced in similar quantities, though very decentrally, in locations ranging from home kitchens and coffee shops to instant coffee and drink producers. After brewing or extracting for coffee beverages, SCGs contain a high water content of 50-60 wt%, a relatively high calorific value of 19-22 MJ/kg, and a carbon content of 47.0-60.0 wt% [2][3][4][5]. The carbon content includes celluloses, hemicelluloses, lignins, lipids, minerals, and protein, together with phenolic compounds, caffeine, and chlorogenic acids, in addition to nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, manganese, and copper [6][7][8].…”
