Three-dimensional mapping of mineral in intact shark centra with energy dispersive x-ray diffraction

The centra of shark vertebrae consist of cartilage mineralized by a bioapatite similar to bone's carbonated hy-droxyapatite, and, without a repair mechanism analogous to remodeling in bone, these structures still survive millions of cycles of high-strain loading. The main structures of the centrum are an hourglass-shaped double cone and the intermedialia which supports the cones. Little is known about the nanostructure of shark centra, spe-cifically the relationship between bioapatite and cartilage fibers, and this study uses energy dispersive diffraction (EDD) with polychromatic synchrotron x-radiation to study the spatial organization of the mineral phase and its crystallographic texture. The unique energy-sensitive detector array at beamline 6-BM-B, the Advanced Photon Source, enables EDD to quantify the texture within each sampling volume with one exposure while constructing 3D maps via specimen translation across the sampling volume. Herein this study maps a centrum from two shark orders, a carcharhiniform and a lamniform, with different intermedialia structures. In the blue shark (Prionace glauca, Carcharhiniformes), the bioapatite's c-axes are oriented laterally within the centrum's cone walls but axially within the wide wedges of the intermedialia; the former is interpreted to resist lateral deformation, the latter to support axial loads. In the shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus, Lamniformes), there is some tendency for c-axis variation with position, but the situation is unclear because one dimension of the sampling volume is consid-erably larger than the thickness and spacing of the intermedialia's radially-oriented lamellae. Because elastic modulus in collagen plus bioapatite mineralized tissues varies significantly with both volume fraction of bio-apatite and crystallographic texture, the present 3D EDD-derived maps should inform future 3D numerical models of shark centra under applied load.

Computation of conventional and alternative jet fuel sensitivity to lean blowout

Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are performed to compute the sensitivity of a conventional (A-2) and an alternate bio-jet (C-1) fuel to Lean Blowout (LBO). A realistic aviation gas turbine engine combustor configuration is considered. Reliable experimental LBO data and OH* chemiluminescence data for the conventional and alternate jet fuel in the combustor configuration have recently become available. The present work utilizes a highly automated, on-the-fly meshing strategy, along with adaptive mesh refinement, to demonstrate the feasibility of capturing the realistic combustion processes. A Lagrangian framework, with initial conditions specified using measurements of spray statistics, is used to model the fuel spray. Newly developed compact reaction mechanisms based on fuel surrogates are validated for the A-2 and the C-1 fuels. The compact reaction mechanisms are implemented using a detailed finite rate chemistry solver. Spray statistics computed by the present LES simulations compare well with available measurements at stable flame conditions near the lean blowout limit. The computed shape of the stable flame as represented by line integrated OH concentrations compares well with the experimental OH* chemiluminescence data. Lean blowout is reached by gradually decreasing the fuel flow rate in the computations, similar to that in the experiments. The results of the LES simulations effectively capture the fuel composition effects and estimate the sensitivity of the LBO limits to the fuel type. The computed trends in LBO limits agree within engineering accuracy with the experimental results for conventional and alternative aviation fuels. The methodology for predicting the fuel composition effects on the lean blowout limits in a fully resolved realistic, complex combustor is established for the first time.

Elucidating biodegradation of dimethyl terephthalate by two Rhodococcus strains for its valorization applications

Dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) serves as the precursor in the production of polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate. The widespread use of DMT in the polymer industry and its ubiquitous existence in end products raise alarms about its potential harm to humans and animals. DMT can enter the environment through the degradation of polymers and their end products, and cause endocrine disruption, oxidative stress, and an elevated risk of cancer. In recent years, DMT has also gained renewed interest in its potential for plastic recycling and upcycling. In this study, we identified two strains of Rhodococcus that possess DMT-degrading capabilities and utilized transcriptomic analysis and gene knockout to elucidate the mechanisms of DMT degradation. R. opacus PD630 and R. jostii RPET were found to convert up to 1 g/L DMT into mono-methyl terephthalate (MMT). A putative DMTase (RS34275) was identified for this conversion. R. jostii RPET also demonstrates the ability to convert DMT into MMT and to utilize MMT for its cellular growth via the terephthalate pathway. A putative MMTase (RS21885) as the sole enzyme was identified for the conversion of MMT into terephthalate in the RPET strain. In addition, we successfully produced lycopene and lipids from an engineered RPET strain using DMT as a substrate. Our findings will facilitate future DMT bioremediation and bio-upcycling of DMT-associated plastics, enabling the production of value-added products.

Engineering surface charges of nanofiltration membranes to maximize Li + /Mg 2+ separation properties

Polyamide-based nanofiltration (NF) membranes are attractive for Li + /Mg 2+ separation for lithium recovery from salt brine (containing mainly Mg 2+ ). However, Li + and Mg 2+ have similar hydration radii, resulting in a low separation factor (SF Li/Mg ). Herein, we demonstrate that SF Li/Mg can be significantly enhanced by optimizing the membrane surface positive charges. This results in an unexpected maximum SF Li/Mg at a solution pH slightly below its isoelectric point (IEP). Specifically, NF270 membrane was surface-grafted with 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium chloride (META) or polyethylenimine (PEI) using bio-adhesive dopamine, forming a thin, stable, charged layer (20–40 nm) on the surface. The effects of solution pH and surface modification on the surface zeta potential (ZP) and single- and mixed-salt Li + /Mg 2+ separation properties are thoroughly investigated. For example, the META grafting increases the ZP from 9.2 to 16 mV and SF Li/Mg by 130 % from 35 to 80 at pH 4, superior to the state-of-the-art commercial NF membranes. Furthermore, this surface modification occurs at ≈22 °C in aqueous solutions and can be utilized to enhance commercial modules for practical applications.

Data-driven acoustic measurement of moisture content in flowing biomass

Measuring the moisture content in flowing biomass is critical to processes such as liquid biofuel conversion, such as biogasoline, biodiesel, bio jet kerosene, etc. However, biomass tends to flow in aggregates, which results in significant inhomogeneities in the amount of biomass flowing in front of a sensor at a given time, and there can be significant overlap in the material properties of dry vs wet biomass, leading to poor signal-to-noise ratio. We present a technique for identifying biomass moisture content using a series of acoustic pitch-catch measurements to quantify the sound speed and acoustic amplitude through the biomass, in conjunction with classical machine learning techniques, including Naive Bayes, Random Forest, and K-Nearest Neighbors classification. We amplify the differences between the acoustic measurements in different moisture levels by collecting a series of pulse-echo measurements, which we sort in order of ascending sound speed. We test the accuracy of the technique on experimentally-prepared batches of corn stover biomass with specified moisture levels and measure the average error in the estimated moisture level as a function of the number of pitch-catch measurements used. We observe average estimation errors as low as 6.7% by increasing the number of measurements and optimizing the hyperparameters. This work presents a novel method determining moisture content in flowing biomass with inhomogeneous flow. Additionally, this technique has application in optimizing biomass conversion processes, as well as other fields including, paper production, natural fiber processing, and mineral extraction.

Resolving protein-mineral interfacial interactions during in vitro mineralization by atom probe tomography

Organic macromolecules exert remarkable control over the nucleation and growth of inorganic crystallites during (bio)mineralization, as exemplified during enamel formation where the protein amelogenin regulates the formation of hydroxyapatite (HAP). However, it is poorly understood how fundamental processes at the organic-inorganic interface, such as protein adsorption and/or incorporation into minerals, regulates nucleation and crystal growth due to technical challenges in observing and characterizing mineral-bound organics at high-resolution. Here, atom probe tomography techniques were developed and applied to characterize amelogenin-mineralized HAP particles in vitro, revealing distinct organic-inorganic interfacial structures and processes at the nanoscale. Specifically, visualization of amelogenin across the mineralized particulate demonstrates protein can become entrapped during HAP crystal aggregation and fusion. Identification of protein signatures and structural interpretations were further supported by standards analyses, i.e., defined HAP surfaces with and without amelogenin adsorbed. These findings represent a significant advance in the characterization of interfacial structures and, more so, interpretation of fundamental organic-inorganic processes and mechanisms influencing crystal growth. Ultimately, this approach can be broadly applied to inform how potentially unique and diverse organic-inorganic interactions at different stages regulates the growth and evolution of various biominerals.

Harnessing biomass-derived reinforcements for sustainable flame-resistant composite

Bio-based composites containing natural fiber reinforcements have been integral to developing innovative, low-cost, and low-energy technologies for transportation applications in marine, automotive, and other industries. The low density of natural fibers gives these materials a high specific stiffness and strength, which can lead to significant weight savings in composites. This study focused on a specialty type of wood fiber treated with boric acid (≤ 7%) sourced from Northern White Pine in the USA, marketed as TimberFill. TimberFill is a high aspect ratio, fibrillated wood fiber that is produced commercially for wood fiber insulation; it is chemically treated to improve both its flame retardance and water resistance. In the present study, TimberFill was processed into non-woven mats using a process akin to papermaking and then infiltrated with epoxy resin. Biochar from wood waste was also incorporated into the epoxy resin as a low-cost filler and functional additive. The effects of biochar concentration on composites’ flame retardance (17% improvement in burn rate), thermal conductivity (improved by 9%), and mechanical performance (33% improvement in modulus) are herein presented. Additionally, it explores the plasticizing effect of the boric acid used in the treatment of TimberFill on the thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting composites, specifically on the thermal expansion coefficient.

Techno-economic and life-cycle analysis of strategies for improving operability and biomass quality in catalytic fast pyrolysis of forest residues

Many of the challenges faced by the first commercial biorefineries were associated with feedstock handling, quality, and cost. Strategies are needed to enable further expansion of biorefineries and meet the growing demand for bio-based fuels and products. Here, we examine 2 key feedstock challenges and mitigation strategies in the context of a catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) biorefinery: (1) the operability of the feed system, which may be improved by modifying the minimum particle size fed to the reactor, and (2) the quality of the biomass, which may be improved by employing air classification to remove undesirable material and increase fuel yields. We conduct techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life-cycle analysis for these strategies, employing a discrete event simulation model for biomass preprocessing combined with a series of correlations developed from literature data and a rigorous CFP conversion model. Our results highlight the importance of balancing increased cost and material losses from preprocessing against improved operability and fuel yields. Economics and sustainability were optimized when operating at the lowest minimum particle size, emphasizing the importance of minimizing material losses while maintaining the operability of the process. Economically, additional costs and material losses from air classification could be acceptable due to improved biomass conversion, and an optimum air classification speed was identified; however, the fuel GHG emissions were minimized when air classification was not used. Valorizing material removed during preprocessing as a coproduct could improve economics and sustainability, decreasing the burden of material losses.

Opinion to address the personal protective equipment shortage in the global community during the COVID-19 outbreak

The current COVID-19 pandemic is stretching both the global supply for face masks and personal protective equipment (PPE). Production capacity is severely limited in many countries. This is a call for the R&D community, particularly to those in the polymer degradation and stability field. We have not only an opportunity but an obligation to engage and collaborate with virology and bio-medical experts. We require comparative R&D for extended, reuse and recyclability options. Additionally, there is urgent need for large scale institutional approaches and methods that can be quickly applied locally by non-experts with limited resources.

Extended use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic - Thermal conditioning and spray-on surface disinfection

The current COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in globally constrained supplies for face masks and personal protective equipment (PPE). Production capacity is limited in many countries and the future course of the pandemic will likely continue with shortages for high quality masks and PPE in the foreseeable future. Therefore, expectations are that mask reuse, extended wear and similar approaches will enhance the availability of personal protective measures. Repeated thermal disinfection could be an important option and likely easier implemented in some situations, at least on the small scale, than UV illumination, irradiation or hydrogen peroxide vapor exposure. In this paper, an overview on thermal responses and ongoing filtration performance of multiple face mask types is provided. Most masks have adequate material properties to survive a few cycles (i.e. 30 min disinfection steps) of thermal exposure in the 75°C regime. Some are more easily affected, as seen by the fusing of plastic liner or warping, given that preferred conditioning temperatures are near the softening point for some of the plastics and fibers used in these masks. Hence adequate temperature control is equally important. As guidance, disinfectants sprayed via dilute solutions maintain a surface presence over extended time at 25 and 37°C. Some spray-on alcohol-based solutions containing disinfectants were gently applied to the top surface of masks. Neither moderate thermal aging (less than 24 h at 80 and 95°C) nor gentle application of surface disinfectant sprays resulted in measurable loss of mask filter performance. Subject to bio-medical concurrence (additional checks for virus kill efficiency) and the use of low risk non-toxic disinfectants, such strategies, either individually or combined, by offering additional anti-viral properties or short term refreshing, may complement reuse options of professional masks or the now ubiquitous custom-made face masks with their often unknown filtration effectiveness.

Sustainable, degradable and malleable low-dielectric-constant thermosets derived from biomass for recyclable green electronics

In view of their excellent thermal and chemical resistance, favorable adhesion properties, high tensile strength, and other advantages, epoxy thermosets have numerous industrial applications such as coating, adhesive, and composite material production. However, bisphenol A (BPA)-based resins, which account for a significant fraction of the above thermosets, adversely affect human health by interfering with the normal functioning of the endocrine system and cannot be easily decomposed and recycled. Herein, degradable and sustainable bio-based epoxy thermosets with crosslinked network structures are prepared by the epoxidation of isosorbide with epichlorohydrin and the curing of the produced isosorbide diglycidyl ether (ISDGE) with cyclic lactones through a cationic ring-opening reaction. The ISDGE thermosets fully decompose into soluble and recyclable products under mildly basic conditions within three days, which is ascribed to the presence of ester moieties within the polymer network structure. Compared to a representative BPA-based epoxy, ISDGE-based thermosets exhibit lower dielectric constants and are more flexible. Moreover, the glass fibers in ISDGE-based prepregs can be fully recovered after on-demand degradation. Furthermore, our work provides promising eco-friendly alternatives to conventional epoxy thermosets and paves the way for the reduction of plastic waste generation and the development of recyclable green electronics.

Structural properties of aqueous grown polydopamine thin films determined by neutron reflectometry

Here, in this work, neutron reflectometry (NR) studies of the bio-mimetic polymer, polydopamine (PDA), deposited from differing initial concentrations of precursor material dopamine hydrochloride for a range of polymerization times, is reported. PDA can form a complex and highly versatile polymer film, with many structure studies having been performed previously, but a comprehensive structural determination of PDA by NR is lacking in the literature. It was found that simple box models were incapable of fully explaining the observed data, necessitating the use of a composite model consisting of the weighted average of both the 1 and 2 box models to fully capture the heterogeneous nature of the PDA film structure. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were performed to capture the surface structure and relative mechanical difference between the separate domains of the PDA. The CLSM results provide evidence that the PDA domains are larger than the coherent scattering length of a neutron used in these measurements, 10μm, supporting the need for a composite model. The AFM measurements show complex structure below the coherence length provide physical justification for the two box model. It was determined that film structure and quality are both heavily impacted by the initial concentration of dopamine hydrochloride and the polymerization time, giving confidence to the highly customizable nature of PDA as an adhesion promoting interface treatment in composite systems, such as plastic bonded explosives (PBX).

Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions analysis of battery-grade lithium production in Finland

Various countries are undertaking initiatives to domestically produce battery-related critical materials. Within Finland, Keliber Technology Oy is developing capabilities for battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM) production from spodumene ores. A detailed life-cycle assessment (LCA) of this pathway is conducted to determine its life-cycle GHG impacts using Argonne's R&D GREET (Research and Development Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies) model. The analysis shows life-cycle GHG emissions of similar to 9.2 kg CO 2-eq /kg LHM, dominated by contributions from three energy sources - diesel, natural gas, and electricity - and two material inputs - lime (CaO) and soda ash (Na 2 CO 3 ). Sensitivity analyses highlight the potential to reduce these impacts using low-carbon electricity, sequestration of process CO 2 emissions generated during CaO and Na 2 CO 3 production, and bio-based energy for LHM production (by similar to 15 % each). A comparative analysis shows lower impacts for Keliber's LHM than for existing LHM production from Australian spodumene ores processed in China (by similar to 40 %).

Sustainability perspectives of integrated pulp and paper biorefineries – A systematic critical review

As the pulp and paper industry is impacted by changing product demand trends, an opportunity arises to utilize existing pulp and paper mills (PPMs) and byproduct biomass to produce a wide range of value-added products, i.e., by converting existing PPMs into integrated pulp and paper biorefineries (IPPBs), a form of industrial symbiosis. In addition to the conventional products that a pulp and paper mill produces, IPPBs produce bio-based products that can help generate a new income stream. This paper provides a systematic critical review of IPPBs with a focus on the types of IPPBs and sustainability perspectives. Specifically, this review's objective is to identify and discuss current and emerging types of IPPBs, provide insights into the types of value-added products produced, and the opportunities and barriers they have according to published literature. We reviewed 97 articles and proposed a robust definition for IPPBs. The results show that there is a dominance of studying bioethanol as the main value-added product and black liquor as one of the main feedstocks. Additionally, we found that there are different types of market challenges for bioproducts depending on the conventional product being replaced and that location and policies play a crucial role. This review identified the limited sustainability focus on this topic and the crucial need to invest in new research to more thoroughly cover the environmental, economic, and social impacts of IPPBs.

Renewable biohydrogen production from lignocellulosic biomass using fermentation and integration of systems with other energy generation technologies

Biohydrogen is a clean and renewable source of energy. It can be produced by using technologies such as thermochemical, electrolysis, photoelectrochemical and biological, etc. Among these technologies, the biological method (dark fermentation) is considered more sustainable and ecofriendly. Dark fermentation involves anaerobic microbes which degrade carbohydrate rich substrate and produce hydrogen. Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundantly available raw material and can be utilized as an economic and renewable substrate for biohydrogen production. Although there are many hurdles, continuous advancements in lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment technology, microbial fermentation (mixed substrate and co-culture fermentation), the involvement of molecular biology techniques, and understanding of various factors (pH, T, addition of nanomaterials) effect on biohydrogen productivity and yield render this technology efficient and capable to meet future energy demands. Further integration of biohydrogen production technology with other products such as bio-alcohol, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and methane have the potential to improve the efficiency and economics of the overall process. In this study, various methods used for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment, technologies in trends to produce and improve biohydrogen production, a coproduction of other energy resources, and techno-economic analysis of biohydrogen production from lignocellulosic biomass are reviewed.

Estimating induced land use change emissions for sustainable aviation biofuel pathways

Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) are expected to play an essential role in achieving the aviation industries’ goal of carbon-neutral growth. However, producing biomass-based SAFs may induce changes in global land use and the associated carbon stock. The induced land use change (ILUC) emissions, as a part of the full life-cycle emissions for SAF pathways, will affect whether and to what extent SAFs reduce emissions compared with petroleum-based jet fuels. Here, we estimate the ILUC emission intensity for seventeen SAF pathways considered by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), covering five ASTM-certified technologies, nine biomass-based feedstocks, and four geographical regions. We introduce the SAF pathways into a well-established computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, GTAP-BIO, and its coupled emission accounting model, AEZ-EF, to study economy-wide implications of SAF production and estimate ILUC emissions intensity for each pathway. The estimated SAF ILUC emission intensities, using a 25-year amortization period, range from -58.5 g CO 2 e MJ -1 for the USA miscanthus alcohol (isobutanol)-to-jet (ATJ) pathway to 34.6 g CO 2 e MJ -1 for the Malaysia & Indonesia palm oil Hydrotreated Esters of Fatty Acids (HEFA) pathway. Notably, the vegetable oil pathways tend to have higher ILUC emission intensities due to their linkage to palm expansion and peatland oxidation in Southeast Asia. The cellulosic pathways studied provide negative ILUC emissions, mainly driven by the high carbon sequestrations in crop biomass and soil. Using the core life-cycle emissions established by ICAO, we show that fifteen of the assessed pathways have a lower full life-cycle emission intensity than petroleum-based jet fuels (89 g CO 2 e MJ -1 ), offering promising options to reduce aviation emissions.

Mineral-hydrogel composites for mitigating harmful algal bloom and supplying phosphorous for photo-biorefineries

Harmful algal blooms (HAB) are a major environmental concern in eutrophic aquatic systems. To mitigate HABs and recover the phosphorus that drives algal growth, this study developed hydrogel composites seeded with calcium phosphate and wollastonite particles, which first adsorb phosphate (P) and then precipitate it as calcium phosphate. Using a fast-growing cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus 2973, as a model microalga, we found that the mineral-hydrogel composites reduced dissolved P in BG11 media from 5.1 mg/L to 0.31 mg/L, initially reducing the biomass growth rate by up to 73 % and ultimately reducing the total biomass concentration by 75 %. When applied to municipal wastewater and agricultural run-off, the composites removed 96 % and 91 % of the dissolved P, respectively. Moreover, when the recovered P-enriched composites were reused as a slow-release bio-compatible fertilizer in a photobioreactor, they effectively supported algal growth without blocking light and interfering with photosynthesis. The P-enriched composites could tune the P concentration in the culture medium and significantly promote algal lipid accumulation. Finally, this study demonstrates the mineral-hydrogel composites' potential to treat point sources of P pollution and subsequently facilitate photoautotrophic biofuel production as a nutrient, effectively recycling the captured P.

Performance characterization of nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and ion exchange technologies for acetic acid separation

A major obstacle to widespread implementation of bio-based fuels and chemicals is the lack of efficient and costeffective separation methods. To purify acetic acid produced by biochemical conversion of biomass via anaerobic digestion, this work employs two commonly used separation technologies: (1) ion-exchange (IX) resin and (2) pressure-driven membranes. This study tested five commercially available strong- and weak-base anion-exchange resins and five commercially available nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. The pH of the feed solution significantly affected adsorption capacity. At pH 6.3, a strong-base IX resin (IRN-78) performed best (95.1% acetate removal). With strong-base IX resins, the Langmuir isotherm model fit well, whereas for weak-base IX resins, the Freundlich isotherm provided a better fit. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model fit well for both IRN-78 and IRA-67. Regarding membrane separation, RO (BW30XFR membrane) achieved the highest rejection (98.6% acetate rejection), whereas an NF membrane (NF*) achieved the best combination of permeate flux (105 L/(h∙m 2 )) and rejection (83.1% acetate rejection). For membrane performance, the experimental data were fit using the solution diffusion model. Increased pH in the feed solution lowered permeate flux but increased acetic acid rejection. Finally, then the acetic acid concentration in the feed solution increased, both permeate flux and acetic acid rejection decreased for membrane NF*.
