“…Processes 2020, 8, 1427 2 of 12 Despite late widespread use of the "biomass energy" phrase, biomass energy represents the main renewable already harnessed by combustion throughout several millennia, starting with the Stone Age to the period before the Industrial Revolution. Among the thermochemical conversion approaches that convert biomass to energy, biomass combustion is disputed for its unrestrained discharge of gaseous pollutants (e.g., NO x , SO 2 , CO, and CO 2 ) [2], while liquefaction, pyrolysis, and gasification are discouraged because of their high energy requirements due to elevated reaction temperatures (>300 • C) [3]. In contrast to thermochemical conversions, biological conversions offer a milder temperature range and thus a lower energy necessity in processing biomass to biofuels (e.g., H 2 and CH 4 ) or biodiesel precursor (microbial lipids) [4].…”

The potentiality of a microalgal-bacterial culture system was explored in bioremediating wastewater while generating biomass for biodiesel production. A pre-determined optimal activated sludge and microalgal ratio was adopted and cultivation performance was evaluated in both synthetic and municipal wastewater media for nitrogen removal along with biomass and lipid generation for biodiesel production. The microalgal-bacterial consortium grown in the municipal wastewater medium produced higher biomass and lipid yields than those in the synthetic wastewater medium. The presence of trace elements in the municipal wastewater medium, e.g., iron and copper, contributed to the upsurge of biomass, thereby leading to higher lipid productivity. Both the microbial cultures in the synthetic and municipal wastewater media demonstrated similar total nitrogen removal efficiencies above 97%. However, the nitrification and assimilation rates were relatively higher for the microbial culture in the municipal wastewater medium, corresponding to the higher microbial biomass growth. Accordingly, the feasibility of the microalgal-bacterial consortium for bioremediating real municipal wastewaters was attested in this study by virtue of higher biomass and lipid production. The assessment of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) composition showed the mixed microbial biomasses comprised 80–93% C16 to C18 FAME species, signifying efficient fuel combustion properties for quality biodiesel requirements.

“…Besides that, several studies regarding the steam reforming of guaiacol (component typically present in the composition of the OMW) using Ni-based catalysts were also reported [92,93]. Finally, it is important to emphasize that several works have already studied the steam reforming of effluents (e.g., bio-oil and palm oil mill) with compositions very similar to OMW (oxygenated species), using Ni and Co-based catalysts [94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103].…”

Olive Mill Wastewater Valorization through Steam Reforming Using Multifunctional Reactors: Challenges of the Process Intensification

2022

Olive oil mill wastewater (OMW) is a polluting stream derived from the production of olive oil and is a source of environmental pollution; this is relevant in many countries around the world, but particularly in all the Mediterranean region where major producers are located. In this effluent, several pollutants are present—namely, sugars, fatty acids, and polyphenols, among others. Nowadays, to reduce the pollutant load, several treatment techniques are applied, but these technologies have numerous cost and efficiency problems. For this reason, the steam reforming of the OMW (OMWSR) presents as a good alternative, because this process decreases the pollutant load of the OMW and simultaneously valorizes the waste with the production of green H2, which is consistent with the perspective of the circular economy. Currently, the OMWSR is an innovative treatment alternative in the scientific field and with high potential. In the last few years, some groups have studied the OMWSR and used innovative reactor configurations, aiming to improve the process’ effectiveness. In this review, the OMW treatment/valorization processes, the last developments on catalysis for OMWSR (or steam reforming of similar species present in the effluent), as well as the last advances on OMWSR performed in multi-functional reactors are addressed.
