“…With the growing environmental problems worldwide, biofuels based on plantderived oils are becoming more popular in the energy and transportation industries. The use of biofuels as an alternative to conventional fossil fuels effectively reduces the emissions of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur oxides [117]. One of the most promising strategies for emission reduction is switching to renewable energy sources (plant-based fuels in particular: biodiesel, biokerosene, bioethanol, and biogasoline) [118,119].…”

The environmental, economic, and energy problems of the modern world motivate the development of alternative fuel technologies. Multifuel technology can help reduce the carbon footprint and waste from the raw materials sector as well as slow down the depletion of energy resources. However, there are limitations to the active use of multifuel mixtures in real power plants and engines because they are difficult to spray in combustion chambers and require secondary atomization. Droplet micro-explosion seems the most promising secondary atomization technology in terms of its integral characteristics. This review paper outlines the most interesting approaches to modeling micro-explosions using in-house computer codes and commercial software packages. A physical model of a droplet micro-explosion based on experimental data was analyzed to highlight the schemes and mathematical expressions describing the critical conditions of parent droplet atomization. Approaches are presented that can predict the number, sizes, velocities, and trajectories of emerging child droplets. We also list the empirical data necessary for developing advanced fragmentation models. Finally, we outline the main growth areas for micro-explosion models catering for the needs of spray technology.

In a period characterised by increasing apprehensions about the environment and limited resources, the need to shift from a linear and inefficient model to a circular and sustainable one is of utmost importance. The publication titled ‘From Waste to Worth: A Comprehensive Approach to Resource Utilisation and Waste Minimization’ delves into the complex interrelationships among materials, energy, and waste management. This detailed analysis explores the importance of achieving closed-loop systems in our economic and industrial sectors, with a particular focus on optimising resources, improving energy efficiency, and implementing waste-to-wealth projects. This comprehensive review explores the fundamental principles and technologies that constitute the foundation for the conversion of waste materials into useful resources. The exploration of several aspects, such as sustainable materials, recycling, circular design, advanced energy-efficient technologies, and waste-to-energy innovations, is conducted with painstaking attention to detail. The practical implications of sustainable practises can be observed in various areas, such as agriculture, manufacturing, energy, and technology, hence highlighting their real effects. The manuscript emphasises the pressing need to tackle environmental concerns and emphasises the necessity of joint endeavours including governments, companies, and communities in order to promote a circular economy. The publication titled ‘From trash to Worth’ provides a comprehensive guide towards achieving a sustainable and economically prosperous future. It emphasises the conversion of trash into valuable resources, the optimisation of resource utilisation, and the preservation of the environment for future generations.

Caffeine and halloysite nanoclay mineral that are bio-based compounds were utilized to synthesize a novel Lewis acid heterogeneous catalyst. To this aim, halloysite was functionalized with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and reacted with caffeine, which was then converted to ionic liquid via a reaction with ZnCl2. The catalyst was applied for promoting the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. To investigate the effects of the reaction variables, response surface methodology was used. The product was achieved in 98.5% in 100 min using a catalyst loading of 30 wt% at 100 °C. Moreover, the catalyst was recyclable up to six runs with slight zinc leaching. Comparison of the catalytic activity of the catalyst with that of halloysite and a control catalyst with one caffeine-based Lewis acid ionic liquid confirmed the superior activity of the former and the important role of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine for increasing the number of the grafted caffeine and thus the acidic sites of the catalyst. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed, and the activity of the catalyst for other carbohydrates was also studied. According to the results, this catalyst catalyzed the reaction of other substrates to furnish 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in low to moderate yields. According to the kinetic studies, the activation energy was estimated to be 22.85 kJ/mol.
