Article Abstract
Catalytic gasification of the oil-extracted residue biomass of Botryococcus braunii was demonstrated in a laboratory-scale continuous feeding dual bed reactor. Steam gasification at 1023 K over Ni-Fe/Mg/Al catalyst can completely reform tar derived from pyrolysis of the residue biomass into C1 gases and hydrogen, and has achieved 91%-C conversion to gaseous product (CO+CO2+CH4). Composition of product gas has higher contents of CO and H2 with their ratio (H2/CO) of around 2.4 which is slightly H2-rich syngas. Maximum hydrogen yield of 74.7 mmol g-biomass(-1) obtained in this work is much higher than that from gasification of other algal biomass reported in literature. The residue biomass of B. braunii can be a superior renewable source of syngas or hydrogen.

The synthesis of biomass-derived nanocarbons via ball milling has emerged as an innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective strategy in the field of nanotechnology. This review comprehensively explores the principles, mechanisms, and process parameters that influence the production of high-quality nanocarbons from biomass using ball milling. This process efficiently transforms biomass residues into nanoscale carbon, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, and nanofibers, with tunable physicochemical properties tailored for advanced applications.

Over recent decades, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in animal production to enhance product quality and maximize economic returns has raised critical concerns. However, antibiotic misuse has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance in livestock and poses substantial health risks to humans through drug residue accumulation. In response, nations globally have progressively implemented bans on antibiotic inclusion in animal nutrition, redirecting scientific attention toward antibiotic-free feed additives that maintain or enhance animal health performance.

Soil nicosulfuron residues disrupt crop rotation with herbicide-sensitive plants. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that the Kj-LuxS/AI-2 quorum sensing system in Klebsiella jilinsis 2N3 critically regulates biofilm-mediated nicosulfuron detoxification through multiple mechanisms: (1) Kj-LuxS deletion reduced biofilm biomass by 60.62 % and decreased herbicide biosorption by 72.
