“…An exact result for the profitability of an investment can be calculated. [58][59][60] • In stochastic economic models, the exact occurrence of the input variables is uncertain, and the probability distribution of the output variables must be determined. [61][62][63] In acquiring articles for review, a distinction was made between whether in-house laboratory trials were conducted or literature data was used.…”

The objective of this review is a global assessment of the economics of second‐generation biorefineries, with a focus on the use of food waste and agricultural residues for chemical production by applying biotechnological processes. Analyses are conducted on feedstock and product distribution, applied economic models, and profitability figures for the period 2013–2018. In a study of 163 articles on different biorefinery systems, the production of chemicals is identified as the second major product class, after bioenergy. Bagasse and straw are frequently analyzed second‐generation feedstocks. Based on the evaluation of 22 articles, second‐generation biorefineries producing chemicals by applying biotechnological processes proves to be economically feasible. On average, both the internal rate of return (IRR) and the return on investment (ROI) are 20% and the payback period (PP) is 6 years. The cost share of feedstock in biorefineries is between 0–50%. The price of the end product and the fermentation yields have the most impact on profitability. The processing of food waste that has industrial and municipal origins appears more economical than the processing of agricultural residues. Scientists, policy makers and entrepreneurs with an appropriate risk tolerance are advised to pay particular attention to municipal food waste and the potential economic production of carboxylic acids. For various economic issues related to biorefineries, dynamic‐deterministic models are recommended, which can be extended by a stochastic model. This review provides an initial overview of the economic feasibility of second‐generation biorefineries. Further techno‐economic analyses are required to produce statistically significant statements on key profitability figures. © 2020 The Authors.

Novel technologies for bio-adsorbent production are being evaluated on the lab-scale in order to find the most adequate processing alternative under technical parameters. However, the poor energy efficiency of promising technologies can be a drawback for large-scale production of these bio-adsorbents. In this work, exergy analysis was used as a computer-aided tool to evaluate from the energy point of view, the behavior of three bio-adsorbent production topologies at large scale for obtaining chitosan microbeads modified with magnetic and photocatalytic nanoparticles. The routes were modeled using an industrial process simulation software, based on experimental results and information reported in literature. Mass, energy and exergy balances were performed for each alternative, physical and chemical exergies of streams and chemical species were calculated according to the thermodynamic properties of biomass components and operating conditions of stages. Exergy efficiencies, total process irreversibilities, energy consumption, and exergy destruction were calculated for all routes. Route 2 presents the highest process irreversibilities and route 3 has the highest exergy of utilities. Exergy efficiencies were similar for all simulated cases, which did not allow to choose the best alternative under energy viewpoint. Exergy sinks for each topology were detected. As values of exergy efficiency were under 3%, it was shown that there are process improvement opportunities in product drying stages and washing water recovery for the three routes.

“…Chitin has been found in many sources such as marine crustaceans, insects, some algae, and fungi [11]. Chitosan is non-toxic, biodegradable and antimicrobial material which has many beneficial applications in many fields such as food industry, water treatment, manufacturing of membranes, cosmetics, antifungal and antibacterial products [12]. Chitosan is a bioproduct extracted from chitin by using alkali treatment which involves three main steps.…”

Chitin and chitosan are natural biopolymers on shrimp shells. Chitosan is used extensively as a raw material in various industries. The study aimed to extract chitin and chitosan from fanami shrimp skin through deproteinization, demineralization, and deastilation reactions and to modify the matrix to improve the physical properties. The results of the analysis of the FTIR chitin spectrum shows several major peaks at wave number 3446.91 cm-1 which showed the vibrations of bending secondary amide and amine (NH) secondary amides at 1654.98 cm-1 indicating the presence of vibration stretching CH. The results of the chitosan FTIR spectrum analysis shows symmetrical stretching vibrations at 3433.41 cm-1 due to overlapping OH and amines (NH), stretching vibrations of 1653.05 cm-1 caused by the propagation of C = O stretching and stretching vibrations of 1587.47 cm-1 indicating secondary amide. The results of the characterization with XRD shows that extracted compounds were chitin and chitosan. In modifying the chitosan matrix, the spectra result show peak at 1656.91-1564.32 cm-1 indicating the presence of an amide group. New aromatic group peak found in the area of 1631.83 cm-1 which not found in chitosan. Diffract gram XRD from pure chitosan shows three highest peak peaks at 2θ equal to 609.2; 609.88 and 550 while chitosan-anhydrous modification shows a peak at 2θ equal to 609.8. The addition of anhydrous phthalates to chitosan has reduced its crystallinity which results in an increase in the hydrophilic characteristics of the membrane. The results of this study are expected to be one of the references in further research regarding the manufacture of phthalate chitosan-anhydrous based composite membranes for DMFC applications.
