Intelligent approaches for sustainable management and valorisation of food waste.

Apricot kernel, a by-product of apricot fruit, is a rich source of proteins, vitamins, and carbohydrates. Moreover, it can be used for medicinal purposes and the formation of food ingredients. Several techniques have been adopted for the extraction of bioactive compounds from the apricot kernel such as solvent extraction, ultra-sonication, enzyme-assisted, microwave-assisted, and aqueous extraction. Apricot kernels may help to fight against various diseases such as cancer and cancer immunotherapy, as well as reduce blood pressure. Additionally, the kernel is famous due to its diverse industrial applications in various industries and fields of research such as thermal energy storage, the cosmetic industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the food industry. Especially in the food industry, the apricot kernel can be used in the preparation of low-fat biscuits, cookies, cakes, and the fabrication of antimicrobial films. Therefore, in this review article, the bioactivity of the apricot kernel is discussed along with its chemical or nutritional composition, characterizations, and applications.

Research progress on catalysts for hydrogen generation through sodium borohydride alcoholysis

High-performance porous carbons derived from tea waste were prepared by hydrothermal treatment, combined together with KOH activation. The heat-treatment-processed materials possess an abundant hierarchical structure, with a large specific surface of 2235 m2 g−1 and wetting-complemental hydrophilicity for electrolytes. In a two-electrode system, the porous carbon electrodes’ built-in supercapacitor exhibited a high specific capacitance of 256 F g−1 at 0.05 A g−1, an excellent capacitance retention of 95.4% after 10,000 cycles, and a low leakage current of 0.014 mA. In our work, the collective results present that the precursor crafted from the tea waste can be a promising strategy to prepare valuable electrodes for high-performance supercapacitors, which offers a practical strategy to recycle biowastes into manufactured materials in energy storage applications.

A Novel Tea factory waste metal-free catalyst as promising supercapacitor electrode for hydrogen production and energy storage: A dual functional material

Production of dual functional carbon material from biomass treated with NaOH for supercapacitor and catalyst

In the present study, our main aim is to show that the first synthesized metal-doped tea factory waste (TFW) catalyst can be used in both hydrogen production and supercapacitor application. In this context, TFW catalyst doped with copper (Cu) (TFW-Cu) was synthesized for methanolysis of NaBH4 and supercapacitor measurement. In the presence of four different parameters (metal type, metal amount, carbonization temperature, and carbonization time), methanolysis experiments of NaBH4 were performed and the catalyst with the maximum hydrogen production rate (HPR) was determined. As a result, it was determined that the 30% Cu-doped TFW (TFW-30%Cu) catalyst had a maximum HPR at a carbonization temperature of 300 °C and a carbonization time of 60 min compared to other substances. As a result of the methanolysis experiments performed in the presence of TFW-30%Cu catalyst, the maximum HPR and activation energy were determined as 9475 mL (min.g)−1 and 13.02 kJ mol−1, respectively. In supercapacitor application, the capacitance of the electrodes in the presence of TFW-30%Cu was calculated as 7–19.9 F.(g)−1. Thus, it is expected that the synthesized catalyst will make a promising contribution in both energy storage and energy production areas—especially for distributed generation systems operating in national networks.

A double-functional carbon material as a supercapacitor electrode and hydrogen production: Cu-doped tea factory waste catalyst

Today, orientation towards alternative energy sources has gained great importance. Biomass resources are easily available, plentiful, inexpensive, environmentally friendly and sustainable renewable energy sources. Biomass resources have the potential to be used not only for energy production but also in many different fields. One of the sources of biomass is the tea factory wastes (TFW) released during black tea production. This resource, which has no economic value, can be used in many different fields and forms. In this study, these studies made with tea factory wastes were compiled and gathered under five main headings. These are agriculture and animal husbandry, building materials, environment, energy and chemistry. It is thought that examining the studies in this way will be a guide to fill the existing gaps in the literature and lead to development.
