“…The use of materials is expected to more than double by 2060, with one-third of this increase attributable to raw materials used in construction [191]. In addition, the uncontrolled extraction of natural resources triggered during the industrial revolution and intensified by the industrial actions of the 20th and 21st centuries is a significant cause of environmental instability [192].…”

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.

“…Sugarcane bagasse is frequently used as fuel in combustion systems generating new solid waste, mainly two types of ashes: the sugarcane bagasse bottom ashes (SBBA) and the sugarcane bagasse fly ashes (SBFA). Some researchers have analyzed the use of SBFA in civil engineering [11][12][13][14]. However, finding other recycling processes to give value to this waste is of great interest.…”

The sugarcane bagasse fly ash was used to evaluate its adsorption behavior for phenol removal from aqueous solution at three different temperatures. Adsorption tests were performed in batch reactors and also in fixed-bed columns. Pseudo-first order, pseudosecond order and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models were applied to describe adsorption kinetics in batch systems. The pseudo-second model fitted appropriately the obtained experimental data at the three different temperatures tested. Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, Adams-Bohart and Dose-Response mathematical models were tested for describing phenol adsorption in dynamic systems (fixed bed columns). Experimental data were well-fitted to the non-linear form of all these models with high regression coefficients.
