Solid state anaerobic digestion of organic waste for the generation of biogas and bio manure

The use of agro-waste-based adsorbents as sustainable, renewable, and low-cost alternatives for the removal of ibuprofen and carbamazepine from water

“…Lignocellulosic materials are a major component of agricultural wastes, consisting mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, and lignin, in addition to proteins, lipids, starch, and simple sugars. The complex structure of lignocellulosic materials renders them poorly degradable [ 66 , 67 ]. However, they have demonstrated the capacity to adsorb both organic and inorganic contaminants due to their porosity and the abundance of functional groups on their surface [ 68 ].…”

Synthesis of Activated Carbon from Agricultural Wastes and Its Application in Adsorption of Dyes

“…Thus, they may be utilized in production of fertilizers, animal feeding or in the worst case they are burnt and disposed in open dumps. However, the final action has negative impacts on the environment [3]. In Egypt, the annual production of agricultural waste ranges from 30 to 35 million tons per year that are categorized as shown in Tab.…”
