Technological perspectives for utilisation of waste glycerol for the production of biofuels: A review

Preparation of dye adsorbents from renewable resources and photocatalytic degradation research

“…And the waste is not disposed of properly. In the past few decades, the use of agroforestry waste has focused on gasification for power generation, conversion of wood-forming fuels and the preparation of fuel ethanol [6]. In fact, most agroforestry waste consists of cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose, all of which are excellent choices for the preparation of biosorbents.…”

Perspectives on the microorganism of extreme environments and their applications

“…α-Amylases: The degradation of starch through enzymes requires optimally high temperatures which make extremozymes from thermophilic organisms the ideal choice for isolation of α-amylase ( Jin et al., 2019a ). Though conventional ethanol production through fermentation utilized acid hydrolyzed starch and derived glucose as a starting material, new advancements favor the use of microbial enzymes for ethanol production ( Chilakamarry et al., 2021 ). α-amylase derived from thermotolerant bacteria like Bacillus licheniformis is a prime choice in this regard.…”

Three Sides of the Same Coin: Combining Microbial, Enzymatic, and Organometallic Catalysis for Integrated Conversion of Renewable Carbon Sources

“…2). In contrast to side products like glycerol [50], microbial production of CO 2 as by-product is inevitable, as the pyruvate decarboxylation is necessary for the reaction enthalpy. Trost defined the term atom economy in 1991 with the aim of better defining (chemo-)catalytical efficiency [51,52].…”
