“…Indeed, previous laboratory experiments demonstrated the possibilities for generating ethanol from sugarcane by-products using SCWP. 22,23 Beyond this, a novel patent proposed by authors elucidated the technical viewpoint regarding the SCWP for industrial bioethanol production. 37 Therefore, the cost determination and economic indicators of the SCWP are some of the most important aspects of industrial implementation in a biorefinery.…”

“…In this work, the scale-up project was simulated with one grinding, four pretreatment vessels (SCWP), an evaporator, four hydrolysate reactors (enzymatic) and one fermenter, according to previous work. 22,23 The flowsheet also consists of mixers, product storage, splitter pumps and piping. The feedstock (straw or bagasse) is first ground in P-1/GR-101, and then stored in P-2/ DCS-101.…”

“…The optimum conditions obtained in the SCWP of sugarcane straw and bagasse to produce sugars were 200 °C and 15 MPa, with a residence time of 8 min. 22,23 The hydrolysate was cooled in the heat exchanger and had its pressure reduced to ambient conditions (25 °C, 0.1 MPa). The resulting liquid (hydrolysate) obtained after SCWP consisted of the final product used for fermentation and ethanol production.…”

The value of lignocellulose residues for green technologies has been growing, but biomass pretreatment is still an economic challenge. In this case study, a cost analysis of subcritical water pretreatment (SCWP) of sugarcane by-products for ethanol production was conducted. The proposed industrial scheme is attached to a Brazilian sugarcane mill, which generates a surplus of bagasse. Seven scenarios were simulated to address the prospects of the implementation of the process in the mill. The fermentation of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate with Scheffersomyces stipitis upgraded the ethanol yield. The fixed capital investment of the industrial process was approximately US$27 million and 35% of this was associated with the SCWP. The highest ethanol yield was obtained for the process operated with hydrolysate from sugarcane bagasse (6740.5 kg ethanol day −1 ), which is associated with the high hemicellulose content in the bagasse composition compared with straw. The cost difference revealed that the fixed capital investment and utilities were the largest expenses for process implementation and operation. The simulated process reached 5.45 US$ L −1 as the lowest cost of manufacturing. However, this cost is approximately 10-fold higher than the market price for ethanol in Brazil. In conclusion, the SCWP of sugarcane straw and bagasse demands significant technical improvement before scaling up to the industrial scale for bioethanol production.

This bibliometric study explored the scientific publications of apple waste over the period from 2000 to 2020, aiming to contribute to the sustainable development of the apple industry toward waste-biorefinery implementation, advocating a circular economy. The bibliometric study covered the publications' evolution, research areas, top-cited papers, international collaborative networks, top countries and journals. The results demonstrate that 628 documents (604 articles and 24 reviews) studied apple waste over the last 20 years, and the number of publications exponentially increased after 2010. The most used keywords revealed that the main studied topics in the field were associated with technologies to manage apple pomace, the main solid waste generated from juice production, demonstrating a research trend toward renewable energy and bio-based products. The bibliometric study indicated that the most productive countries are China, India and the USA. Apple waste could be an environmentally friendly feedstock for biorefinery design and implementation. The biorefinery could produce value-added products (polyphenols, pectin, sugars and essential oils) and bioenergy (ethanol, methane, electricity and heat) in different industrial arrangements. The main technological routes described in the literature have been associated with the production of lactic acid, xylitol, ethanol, bioactive compounds, xyloglucan, films, pectin, acetic acid, acetone-butanol-ethanol, emulsifiers and inulinase enzyme. In conclusion, this review contributes to the decision-making for the industrial implementation of a waste biorefinery, advocating circular economy transition based on the sustainable valorization of apple waste.
