“…Nanocomposite biochars have gained attention by leveraging nanotechnology to introduce nanoparticles into the biochar matrix, such as metal oxides or bio-based nano-compounds. These nanocomposites exhibit targeted functionalities, rendering them effective for precise nutrient release and pollutant remediation [83]. The nuanced differences between NMs and their bulk counterparts can revolutionize how contaminants are addressed, particularly in P adsorption.…”

The role of modified biochar in enhancing phosphorus (P) availability is gaining attention as an environmentally friendly approach to address soil P deficiency, a global agricultural challenge. Traditional phosphatic fertilizers, while essential for crop yield, are costly and environmentally detrimental owing to P fixation and leaching. Modified biochar presents a promising alternative with improved properties such as increased porosity, surface area, and cation exchange capacity. This review delves into the variability of biochar properties based on source and production methods and how these can be optimized for effective P adsorption. By adjusting properties such as pH levels and functional groups to align with the phosphate’s zero point of charge, we enhance biochar’s ability to adsorb and retain P, thereby increasing its bioavailability to plants. The integration of nanotechnology and advanced characterization techniques aids in understanding the structural nuances of biochar and its interactions with phosphorus. This approach offers multiple benefits: it enables farmers to use phosphorus more efficiently, reducing the need for traditional fertilizers and thereby minimizing environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions and P leaching. This review also identifies existing research gaps and future opportunities for further biochar modifications. These findings emphasize the significant potential of modified biochar in sustainable agriculture.

“…In [102], methane is produced using sludge from an effluent treatment from the vegetable oil industry as an inoculum in vinasse-containing media. In [103], a P-laden vinasse-dolomite nanocomposite can significantly improve a plant's growth, so it demonstrated its potency as a substitute for phosphorus-based fertilizers. Removing polyphenols from sugarcane vinasses is feasible from three UASB operating isothermally at temperatures of 45, 55, and 65 • C [104].…”

“…Efforts like this approach have been developed and identified in this review. Vinasse has been used as a soil improver [66,73], as a fertilizer for various crops [74,75,79,97,107,117] and sugarcane [56,77]; it has also been proven in a combined way to be used as a fertilizer and soil improver [92]; influencing the growth of the plant Setaria viridis [103], likewise, vinasse as a fertilizer has demonstrated benefit in the cultivation of Chlorella Vulgaris and Desmodesmus sp. and in the growth of cultivation Desmodesmus sp.…”

Post-Industrial Use of Sugarcane Ethanol Vinasse: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Vinasse is a toxic pollutant if it is poured into the ecosystem indiscriminately; despite this, it integrates components that make it valuable in nutrients and water. However, its use has been questioned due to the costs involved in its purification. This systematic review focuses on the valorization of vinasse from the studies performed for its post-industrial use. Trends in vinasse management and bioproduct development were analyzed. The PRISMA statement was used as a formal guide for collecting and analyzing 131 studies from 2018 to 2022. We determined that biological processes are the most used to obtain the benefits of vinasse, obtaining up to three post-industrial bioproducts. While it is true that there is a predominant trend of studies focused on the generation of biofuels, it must be noted that the beginning of the sucro-alcohol chain was the agricultural field. In this sense, we determine that 14% of the studies treat vinasse for agricultural reuse purposes, so, under Circular Economy principles, the reincorporation of vinasse into the agricultural field to take advantage of its goodness in nutrients and minerals as a sustainable and eco-efficient alternative should be a research trend that accelerates the consumption of vinasse generated in alcohol distilleries.
