“…Fly ash was used from sugarcane bagasse as a matrix to produce pellets with fertilizers (ammonium sulfate and potassium chloride), for the slow release of fertilizers into the soil. Moreover, the application of a sintering process to sugarcane bagasse pellets was investigated for lightweight aggregate production intended for use in the civil engineering field, thus maximizing their potential applications [141].…”

“…To this end, an alkaline treatment is carried out on the sugarcane bagasse before carrying out acid hydrolysis to remove lignin and other impurities [269]. It is also possible to use bleached bagasse pulp as raw material to produce hydrogel as a colorimetric freshness indicator for smart food packaging [270] and other applications, such as sugarcane bagasse in the production of food packages in agroindustry [244,271,272] and as packing material in filters for hydrogen sulfide removal [141].…”

Sugarcane has primarily been used for sugar and ethanol production. It creates large quantities of residual lignocellulosic biomass such as sugarcane bagasse, leaves, tops, and vinasse. Biomass is a sustainable prospect for biorefineries aiming to optimize production processes. We detail recent research developments in recycling sugarcane, including energy generation and pyrolysis to obtain biofuels, for example. To produce biochar, the energy cost of operating at high temperatures and large-scale production remain as obstacles. The energy generation prospects can be enhanced by pellet production; however, it requires an improvement in quality control for long-term storage or long-distance transportation. In civil construction, the materials still need to prove their long-term efficiency and reliability. Related to adsorbent materials, the use of sugarcane bagasse has the advantage of being low-cost and environmentally friendly. Nevertheless, the extraction, functionalization, and modification of cellulose fibers, to improve their adsorption properties or even mode of operation, still challenges. The synthesis of nanostructures is still lacking high yields and the ability to scale up. Finally, controlling dispersion and orientation and avoiding fiber agglomeration could improve the mechanical response of composites using sugarcane bagasse. The different possibilities for using sugarcane and its residues reinforce the importance of this material for the industry and the global economy. Thus, the present work addresses current challenges and perspectives of different industrial processes involving sugarcane aiming to support future research on waste-derived subjects.
