This research examines the process of converting biomass into biofuels using environmentally friendly nanocatalysts. The aim is to meet the growing need for renewable energy sources and reduce the negative effects on the environment. Various biomass samples were exposed to catalytic conversion, which revealed notable disparities in the cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin constituents. The efficacy of catalytic conversion was evaluated utilizing several nanocatalyst compositions, with Catalyst D exhibiting the greatest conversion efficiency of 80%. The biofuel output exhibited variation across different biomass samples, with Biomass 4 demonstrating the maximum biofuel generation at a rate of 120 g/L. The environmental impact study identified Catalyst D as having the highest level of sustainability, with the lowest energy usage of 1.8 kWh/kg, the least trash creation of 0.05 kg/kg, and the lowest CO2 emissions of 0.15 kg/kg compared to other formulations. The examination of percentage change further highlighted the substantial improvements in both catalytic performance and environmental sustainability indicators of Catalyst D. The results emphasize the capability of green nanocatalysts to enhance the efficiency and eco-friendliness of biomass conversion processes. This contributes to the progress of sustainable biofuel production technologies and the shift towards a more sustainable energy future.

This study explores sustainable methods for recycling lithium-ion battery (LIB) materials, with the goal of tackling the issues of resource depletion and environmental pollution linked to LIB production and end-of-life management. An analysis of the composition shows that graphite (30%), nickel (20%), lithium (15%), and cobalt (10%) are the main components of LIBs. This emphasizes the economic potential of recycling methods to reclaim these valuable materials. Recovery efficiency assessments show different levels of success, with graphite having the highest recovery efficiency at 95%, followed by lithium at 90%, aluminum at 90%, and cobalt at 85%. The analysis of energy consumption highlights the disassembly and electrolysis steps as the ones that require the most energy. This emphasizes the need to optimize recycling processes in order to reduce environmental impact and improve sustainability. The analysis of costs highlights the significant expenses related to disassembly and electrolysis, underscoring the importance of implementing cost-effective approaches to enhance the economic feasibility of lithium-ion battery recycling. This study offers important insights into the feasibility and implications of sustainable LIB recycling approaches. It emphasizes opportunities for resource recovery, energy efficiency improvements, and cost optimization to support the transition towards a circular economy and a greener future.
