Article Abstract
Hemp stalk, a widely available agricultural waste, is an ideal eco-friendly raw material for biochar production. Carbonization experiments were conducted as a novel approach for the scalable and value-added utilization of hemp stalk under oxygen-exclusion conditions. The effects of feedstock types- (KS), spp. (JS), and spp. (RS)-and pyrolysis temperatures on biochar properties were analyzed through the measurements of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of biochars increased with increasing pyrolysis temperature. Notably, EC was significantly higher for RS (940-2278 μS/cm) than for KS (517-879 μS/cm) and JS (583-863 μS/cm). The C content in these three biochars increased as the temperature increased, whereas the H/C atomic ratio decreased, most notably in JS (by 0.33%). According to FTIR and XRD data, with the pyrolysis temperature increasing, the acidic oxygen-containing groups on biochar surfaces reduced. KS700, with superior aromatic structure and stability, may be able to effectively adsorb heavy metal ions. RS700, with relatively high pH and EC, was suitable for alleviating soil acidification and nutrient deficiency. The feedstock and pyrolysis temperature significantly affected the element content, pore structure, and stability of biochars derived from hemp stalk.

This study investigated the impact of incorporating hemp fibers into composites for manufacturing industrial parts. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of producing a traditional polymer matrix composite containing glass fibers was compared to that of producing a counterpart from natural hemp fibers. The investigation concluded that the partial replacement of synthetic fibers with biomass reduced the GWP of the product by up to 25% without compromising its mechanical properties.

Efficient bioconversion of acetate-rich lignocellulosic biomass into value-added chemicals remains a major challenge due to the toxicity of acetic acid. In this study, we developed an acid-tolerant Issatchenkia orientalis strain (IoDY01H) capable of producing 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP), a key bioplastic precursor, from glucose, xylose, and acetate. Using a Cas9-based genome editing system with a hygromycin B resistance marker, we introduced heterologous genes encoding xylose utilization and β-alanine-based 3-HP biosynthetic pathways into the I.

This work reports the development of electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) membranes derived from biomass for potential use in therapeutic dressings. Cellulose was extracted from cannabis stalks using alkaline pulping and bleaching, followed by homogeneous acetylation to obtain CA with controlled substitution. CA solutions (13%-25%) were electrospun under varying parameters, and the 17% formulation yielded the most homogeneous, bead-free nanofibers.

The study aimed to identify the optimum pyrolysis temperature and cooling conditions for producing biochar from industrial hemp stalks to enhance asphalt binder performance, while also assessing the potential of industrial hemp stalks as a viable alternative in the pavement sector by evaluating the temperature sensitivity and the high and low temperature performance of biochar-modified binders. The asphalt binders were subjected to conventional and performance tests to assess their properties. Penetration and softening point values of neat and biochar modified binders were determined and the penetration index of binders was calculated.
