Abstract
Of late years, aquatic plants have received increased attention due to their energy potential in sustainable agriculture.Pistia stratiotesalso belongs to this category. A vital aspect in sustainable agriculture, to which there is a growing tendency, is the use of environmentally friendly methods. Aquatic plants are used as raw materials for various applications, such as food industry, health, agriculture and aquaculture, ecosystem management, being an essential renewable resource. Due to population growth, both developed and developing countries are mainly facing problems related to future energy security and the proper use of natural resources. As the search for renewable energy resource intensifies, there is a growing drive to identify and develop promising, environmentally friendly, low-carbon and low-carbon bioenergy raw materials. Fuel demand is rising, while food costs and waste are gradually rising. It is therefore necessary to address waste management and reduce pollution caused by excessive energy use and industrialization. The current study focuses on the potential for harnessing renewable energy in the Nile lettuce (Pistia stratiotes), namely, highlighting the process of residual biomass, biofuel and compost.
Highlights
With the demographic development and increasing consumption, agricultural production is constantly evolving
The results of the study show that the potential of Pistia stratiotes for ethanol production was higher in the fermentation method SSF, fig. 11 than in the separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) method, fig. 10
The results of obtaining biodiesel by using Pistia stratiotes biomass are presented in tables no. 1, 2, 3 și 4 [22]
Summary
With the demographic development and increasing consumption, agricultural production is constantly evolving. In study [19], is presented the potential, by photofermentation, of the residual biomass of Pistia stratiotes to produce biofuel from hydrogen. This analysis was performed following the nitrogen removal treatment. The results obtained show that after the elimination of ammonium, fermentation and hydrolysis, the residual biomass of Nile lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) has considerable potential for the production of biofuels [19]. This time, to analyze the quality of compost by mixing rock phosphate with Nile lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) with and without effective microorganisms. Pistia stratiotes plants become a useful product by adopting this solution [26]
