This review provides a comprehensive summary of different energy harvesting techniques for 3G biorefinery and proposes an integrated CO 2 biorefinery model that interlinks multiple processes and circulates resources and waste. Tabita, F. R. Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacteria (Springer, 1995). Raven, J....
On the other hand, EABs deposited with a biofilm at anode generate electrons and protons at lower potential (usually less than the potential of VB of the semiconductor material) by utilizing the organic matter substrate. The electrons then recombine with the holes (at high potential) to ...
Utilizing biomimetic principles, the synthesis of biomimetic materials emulating the activity of natural carbonic anhydrase and the subsequent immobilization through material modification using chemical reagents has shown promise. This method can solve not only the problem of the slow rate of carbon dioxide...
However, the microbes-power relationship in METs is limited to the ability of certain microorganisms to transform electrical energy into chemical energy and vice versa. Microorganisms use a plethora of mechanisms for electron exchange with organic or inorganic substrates. These substrates may be ...
A knowledge spillover can thus be exploited for the maturation of the BICCU technology by utilizing the comprehensive research effort within conventional carbon capture with amine scrubbing. However, combining capture agents and microbial catalysts also requires novel developments within microbiology and ...
Figure 7. Different pathways for utilizing carbon dioxide. Adapted from [111]. In essence, CO2 conversion describes its transformation into different compounds containing the carbon from the parent molecule of carbon dioxide. Recent advances in industrially used CO2 showcase that each conversion pathwa...
4. Utilizing microorganisms to engineer Rubisco In microorganisms, the RbcL and RbcS of Rubisco are generally located on the same operon, and the structure is similar to that of higher plants’ Rubisco, making gene manipulation easier [1,115]. This is advantageous for constructing a random mutage...
By valorizing waste and utilizing bioresources, the world can reduce environmental impacts, decrease reliance on non-renewable energy sources, and promote a more sustainable energy future. 3.3.1. Anaerobic digestion for CH4 recovery Landfill leachate, a byproduct of waste decomposition in landfills, ...
A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to analyse the current evidence on the roles of green walls in urban carbon sequestration and sustainable development. Three major academic databases were utilised: PubMed, Web of Science, and Elsevier’s ScienceDirect. Multiple combinations of re...
Observing the system’s performance is accomplished by utilizing digital tools that offer real-time data on air flow rates, pressure differences, and air quality. According to [84,85], this information is necessary for making modifications to ensure optimal functioning, with a particular emphasis on...
