The olive industry extracts oil from olives but also generates solid co-products called pomace and liquid wastes known as Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW). With global annual production exceeding 30 million tons and approximately 685,000 tons in Morocco alone, these wastes pose environmental challenges due to their high acidity, organic load, and phenolic compounds. Our research aims to depollute and recycle OMW using aerobic biological treatment methods. Samples were collected from various ecological sites across four Moroccan regions. We isolated and purified several strains of molds, yeasts, and bacteria capable of decolorizing OMW. Decolorization experiments revealed promising results, with a combination of seven selected molds showing significant reductions in chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 71.44%, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) by 69.91%, and polyphenols content by 84.22%. Encouraged by these findings, we propose further treatment using sourdoughs composed of combinations of different pure strains, including yeasts and selected bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This approach demonstrates a practical and cost-effective method for depolluting and recycling OMW, contributing to environmental protection and human health preservation. By mitigating the risks associated with untreated OMW discharge, this study offers a viable solution to the environmental challenges posed by olive processing industries globally, particularly in regions like Morocco where olive cultivation is significant.

Abstract Recycle and reuse of agriculture and industrial wastes becomes a big chalenge in different parts of the world. The success in the waste recycle could lead to conserve the environment, reduce the use of cement, and improve health environment. This paper presents the potential use of fly ash from olive oil waste in Jordan to improve concrete material which could be used as a sustainable material for rigid pavement and building construction material. Olive oil ash was collected from olive oil mill and replace cement in producing concrete material. The range of cement replacement was 0% to 12.5% with increment 2.5%. The results indicate that olive oil reduces the workability of concrete material. The reduction of the slump of concrete increases with increasing olive ash content. Strength and durability of concrete improved and increased with increasing olive ash content in concrete up to 7.5 percent then the strength reduced. The results in this study show that the use of 7.5% was the optimum replacement of cement. This percent could produce concrete with higher strength and higher durability in comparison with the control concrete mix. Olive waste ash enhances both strength and durability because it reduces the effective water-cement ratio in concrete mix and filling the pore and void structure in concrete material. The benefits of this study could reduce the cost of concrete and recycle waste material and enhance concrete properties.

Olive oil production generates solid and liquid wastes that cause various environmental problems due to their high phenols and polyphenols load. Although many treatment methods were investigated to manage these wastes, more research is still needed to identify simple and cost-effective approaches. In this study, activated carbon (AC) was prepared from olive cake waste and functionalized with Cu/Cu2O/CuO for efficient and selective removal of phenolic content from olive mill wastewater (OMW). AC media were characterized by scanning electron/dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The optimum adsorption parameters were investigated, and the adsorption isotherms, thermodynamics, and kinetics were determined. The adsorption of phenols onto copper oxide AC was best described by the Langmuir adsorption with maximum adsorption capacity of 13.9, 12.7, and 9.9 mg/g at 311, 302, and 293 K, respectively. The adsorption reaction was found to be spontaneous and endothermic where ∆H° and ∆G° were found to be 30.104 kJ/mol and −1.765, −2.839, and −3.723 (kJ/mol) at 311, 302, and 293 K, respectively. In addition, the kinetics data were perfectly fit by the pseudo-second-order model. The activated product derived from recyclable olive cake and enriched with inorganic functionality can offer a cost-effective treatment solution for OMW; thus, reducing both the liquid and solid waste generated from the olive mill industry.

The present study concentrated on porous geopolymer composites (between calcined clay and metakaolin) using hydrogen peroxide as a pore generation agent. To reduce as well as recycle the waste from a factory, calcined clay waste was used as starting material. The geopolymer was synthesized via a geopolymerization method by a reaction with an alkaline solution, using the ceramic waste and metakaolin as raw materials. Different amount of olive oil (0–15 wt%) were added to the samples. The olive oil affected the pore formation of the geopolymers. The effects of olive oil, a surfactant, on the properties of the geopolymer composites were investigated. Apparent density and compressive strength of the samples tended to decrease with the additive, while water absorption and total porosity had the opposite effect. However, a variation in the apparent density and water absorption values was observed, due to the formation of closed pores in the samples. The trend of compressive strength value was related with total porosity. A model for pore formation was proposed in this work. The results suggest that this material can be used as a geopolymer foam.

In the Rural Development Plan (2014–2020), the European Commission encouraged the conversion and supported the maintenance of organic farming. Organic olive oil (bioEVOO) production involves the use of environmentally sustainable fertilizers and the recycling of olive pomace (Pom) and olive vegetation waters (VW) to reduce the environmental impact of these wastes. An ecofriendly way to recycle olive wastes is to reuse them to extract bioactive compounds. In this study, the total phenolic compounds content, their profile and dosage, the antioxidant action in oil, pomace, and vegetation water was evaluated when the Trichoderma harzianum M10 was used as a biostimulant in agriculture. Two spectrophotometric tests (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic) acid (ABTS)) evaluated the antioxidant potential of samples, a spectrophotometric method estimated total phenolic content, and an Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC)–Orbitrap method evaluated the phenolics profile. Our results showed that the biostimulation improved the antioxidant potential and the total concentration of phenolics in the bioEVOO and bio-pomace (bioPom) samples and mainly enhanced, among all classes of phenolic compounds, the production of the flavonoids and the secoiridoids. Moreover, they demonstrated the Trichoderma action in the mevalonate pathway to produce phenols for the first time. The decisive action of the Thricoderma on the production of phenolic compounds increases the economic value of the waste materials as a source of bioactive compounds useful for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries.

The expanding population is leading to a continuous rise in the quantity of generated waste. Due to this, there is a need to recycle the waste generated so that it can be reused. Composting is a highly attractive method to manage and recycle waste generated, both because of the ease of management and for the lower cost compared to other treatments. In this study, eight different combinations of waste with wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) sludge as the principal waste and other plant waste in different proportions (garden waste, grape stalks, forest waste, olive and almond tree pruning cuttings, straw, and sawdust) were prepared. Composting in outdoor piles was carried out for 220 days, with weekly turning and watering as needed. At the end of the process eight composts were obtained with nutrient contents ranging from 2.23-3.24% total nitrogen (TN), 1.04-3.06% P2O5 and 0.37-1.99% K2O, with characteristics suitable for use in agriculture. Phytotoxicological and ecotoxicological evaluations showed that the generated composts had a growth-stimulation effect (germination rate greater than 100%) and very low environmental risk coefficients (risk coefficient less than 1).

The issue of waste management has been a social and political priority for many years. Different experiences show what benefits can be obtained through interventions that reduce waste or foresee some mechanisms for reusing and recycling. In this context, the paper presents the results of a project financed by the EU LIFE + fund, dedicated to the creation of chains of secondary raw materials. The paper shows the methodology used and the results achieved in the project. In particular the chain for the recovery of olive oil mill wastes is presented. A feasibility study for a recovery facility is performed, confirming the profitability of the proposed technology and the goodness of the design methodology.

This study evaluated the nutritional effect of dried olive pulp (OP), on broilers’ thermal comfort, growth parameters and welfare in a commercial poultry farm during the hot season. A number of 108 Cobb male broilers, 19 d olds were allocated into three dietary groups: controls (CON), OP3 and OP6, based on the level of OP added to their diet (0%, 3% and 6%). The thermal comfort of broilers was assessed using the temperature–humidity index (THI). Broilers’ body temperature (BT) was determined weekly. OP beneficially affected the growth performance of broilers undergoing very severe heat stress, as indicated by the increased body weight gain (BWG) recorded in OP groups compared to CON during the first week of the experiment and the higher body weight (BW) of OP fed chickens at 26 d of age (p < 0.05). At 26 d of age, OP6 broilers had lower BT (40.55 ± 0.06 °C) than CON (40.78 ± 0.09 °C) (p < 0.05). A positive dietary effect of OP in welfare parameters like feather cleanliness and panting behaviour of chickens fed 6% OP was also recorded. Using OP as feedstuff is a promising feeding strategy for alleviating the adverse effects of heat stress; it also offers the potential to recycle olive by-products, leading to an efficient waste-based circular economy.

Ce travail a pour objectif de développer des biocomposites à base de poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalérate) (PHBV) et de farine grignons d'olive (FGO) préparés par mélange fondu. Il s'articule autour de quatre parties. La première partie comprend une étude de la morphologie et des propriétés physiques des échantillons biocomposites PHBV/FGO aux taux de charge de 10, 20 et 30% en masse. Les résultats indiquent que le système PHBV/FGO se caractérise par une séparation de phase dont le nombre et la taille des particules de FGO augmentent avec le taux de charge. De plus, la stabilité thermique et les propriétés barrières vis à vis de la vapeur d'eau et de l'oxygène ont diminué. Par contre, l'incorporation de la FGO dans le PHBV induit une augmentation du module d'Young qui s'accentue avec le taux de charge. La même tendance est également observée avec le module de conservation déterminé par DMA. Dans la seconde partie, l'impact du PHBV-g-MA comme agent compatibilisant dans les biocomposites PHBV/FGO a été évalué en fonction du taux de charge. La caractérisation morphologique du système ternaire a révélé que la présence du PHBV-g-MA dans les biocomposites PHBV/FGO induit une meilleure adhésion interfaciale entre les particules de la FGO et la matrice PHBV en raison des interactions charge-matrice. En conséquence, une nette amélioration des propriétés mécaniques, viscoélastiques et barrières aux gaz (vapeur d'eau et oxygène) est observée. Dans la troisième partie, une modification chimique de la FGO avec le trimethoxy (octadecyl)-silane (TMOS) et son influence sur la morphologie et les propriétés physiques de biocomposites PHBV/FGO: 80/20 ont été étudiées. Les résultats révèlent une dispersion fine et homogène de la FGO traitée au TMOS dans la matrice PHBV avec en apparence moins de microvides en comparaison avec le biocomposite non modifié. Les propriétés physico-mécaniques du biocomposite PHBV/FGO modifiée sont sensiblement améliorées. La dernière partie consacrée à une étude du vieillissement hygrothermique dans l'eau de mer à 25 et 40°C de films de biocomposites PHBV/FGO: 80/20 avant et après modification, révèle que la FGO favorise la cinétique de dégradation du système PHBV/FGO indépendamment du traitement. Toutefois, le biocomposite PHBV/FGO traité avec des organo-silanes se caractérise relativement par une résistance à la dégradation hygrothermique à 25 et 40°C par rapport au reste des échantillons biocomposites
This work aims to develop a biocomposites based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalérate) (PHBV) and olive husk flour (OHF) prepared by melt compounding. It's articulated around four parts. The first part includes a study of the morphology and physical properties of the PHBV/OHF biocomposite samples at the loading rates of 10, 20 and 30 wt%. The results indicate that the PHBV/OHF system is characterized by a phase separation whose number and size of OHF particles increases with the loading rate. Moreover, the thermal stability and the barrier properties against water vapor and oxygen have decreased. On the other hand, the incorporation of the OHF in the PHBV matrix induces an increase in the Young's modulus which is accentuated with filler content. The same trend is also observed with the storage modulus determined by DMA. In the second part, the effects of PHBV-g-MA used as the compatibilizer for PHBV/OHF biocomposites were evaluated as a function of the loading rate. The morphological characterization of the ternary system revealed that the presence of PHBV-g-MA in the PHBV/OHF biocomposites induces better interfacial adhesion between the OHF particles and the PHBV matrix due to filler-matrix interactions. Consequently, a significant improvement in the mechanical, viscoelastic and gas barrier properties (water vapor and oxygen) is observed. In the third part, a chemical modification of OHF with trimethoxy(octadecyl)-silane (TMOS) and its influence on the morphology and physical properties of PHBV/OHF: 80/20 biocomposites was studied. The results reveal a fine and homogeneous dispersion of the TMOS-treated OHF in the PHBV matrix with apparently fewer microvides compared to the unmodified biocomposite. The physical and mechanical properties of the modified PHBV/OHF biocomposite are significantly improved. The last part devoted to a study of the hygrothermal aging in sea water at 25 and 40°C of films of biocomposites PHBV/OHF: 80/20 before and after modification reveals that the OHF promotes the degradation kinetics of the PHBV/OHF system regardless of treatment. However, the organo-silane-treated PHBV/OHF biocomposite is relatively characterized by a resistance to hygrothermal degradation at 25 and 40°C compared to the rest of the biocomposite samples

La gestion des déchets agricoles et la promotion de matériaux de construction durables offrent de nombreux avantages considérables. En intégrant des pratiques durables dans le secteur de la construction, nous avons la capacité de réduire notre empreinte écologique en limitant l'exploitation excessive des ressources naturelles.La recherche menée dans la présente étude vise à développer un béton et un mortier de ciment structurels allégés avec des agrégats organiques de grignons d’olive. Deux types d’agrégats ont été utilisés selon qu’ils soient mélangés ou non avec des margines. L'objectif principal de cette étude est l’évaluation expérimentale des propriétés mécaniques et thermiques des éprouvettes de béton et de mortier allégés par rapport aux éprouvettes de béton et de mortier ordinaires. Elles ont été préparées en utilisant des agrégats des grignons d’olive à l’état sec et saturé, avec un pourcentage de substitution de sable naturel variant de 0% à 15%. Les résultats ont montré que la formulation optimale pour la production d’un béton allégé consiste en 5% d’agrégats de grignons d’olive à l’état sec et mélangés avec les margines. Cette formulation, offre de meilleures propriétés mécanique, notamment une résistance à la compression de 25 MPa, une résistance à la traction de 4,61 MPa et un module d'élasticité dynamique de 44,39 GPa. En plus, le matériau réalisé présente une masse volumique sèche réduite entraînant une diminution d’environ 5,69% par rapport au béton de référence.Pour le mortier de ciment, les meilleurs résultats ont été obtenus avec un mélange contenant 5% d’agrégats de grignons d’olive à l’état sec et mélangés avec les margines. Les résultats ont montré un effet marginal sur la résistance à la compression (Rc), atteignant 33,50 MPa, et ce après 28 jours de durcissement. Cependant, pour le béton et le mortier, l'analyse microstructurale a révélé une faible adhérence entre les agrégats de grignons d’olive et la matrice cimentaire au niveau de la Zone de Transition Interfaciale. Les tests expérimentaux ont montré également que l'augmentation de la teneur en agrégats de grignons d'olive réduit la vitesse de propagation des ultrasons et le module d'élasticité dynamique du béton et du mortier allégé ainsi que leur maniabilité tout en augmentant leur porosité.En ce qui concerne les propriétés thermiques des matériaux élaborés, l'incorporation d'agrégats de grignons d'olive a entraîné une amélioration de la résistance thermique. Dans le cas du béton allégé avec 5% d’agrégats de grignons d’olive à l’état sec et mélangés avec les margines, la conductivité thermique (λ) est passée de 1,3 W/m.K (pour l’éprouvette témoin) à 0,86 W/m.K. Dans le cas du mortier de ciment contenant 5% d’agrégats de grignons d’olive à l’état sec et mélangés avec les margines, la conductivité thermique (λ) est passée de 1,1 W/m.K (éprouvette témoin) à 0,87 W/m.K.En conclusion, cette étude a révélé que les matériaux élaborés et testés dans les conditions de laboratoires répondent aux normes requises pour une utilisation générale dans le bâtiment
The management of agricultural waste and the promotion of sustainable building materials offer many considerable benefits. By integrating sustainable practices into the construction sector, we have the ability to reduce our ecological footprint by limiting the excessive exploitation of natural resources. The research conducted in this study aims to develop a lightweight structural concrete and cement mortar using organic olive pomace aggregates. Two types of aggregates were used, depending on whether they were mixed with or without olive mill wastewater. The main objective of this study is to experimentally evaluate the mechanical and thermal properties of lightened concrete and mortar specimens in comparison with ordinary concrete and mortar specimens. They were prepared using dry and saturated olive pomace aggregates, with a percentage substitution of natural sand ranging from 0% to 15%. The results showed that the optimal formulation for producing lightweight concrete consists of 5% dry olive pomace aggregates mixed with olive mill wastewater. This formulation offers better mechanical properties, including a compressive strength of 25 MPa, a tensile strength of 4.61 MPa, and a dynamic modulus of elasticity of 44.39 GPa. Additionally, the resulting material has a reduced dry bulk density, leading to a decrease of approximately 5.69% compared to the reference concrete. For cement mortar, the best results were obtained with a mixture containing 5% dry olive pomace aggregates mixed with olive mill wastewater. The results showed a marginal effect on compressive strength (Rc), reaching 33.50 MPa after 28 days of curing. However, for both concrete and mortar, microstructural analysis revealed weak adhesion between olive pomace aggregates and the cement matrix at the Interfacial Transition Zone. Experimental tests also showed that increasing the content of olive pomace aggregates reduces the ultrasound propagation velocity and the dynamic modulus of elasticity of lightweight concrete and mortar, as well as their workability, while increasing their porosity.As regards the thermal properties of the developed materials, the incorporation of olive pomace aggregates led to an improvement in thermal resistance. In the case of lightweight concrete with 5% of dry olive pomace aggregates mixed with olive mill wastewater, the thermal conductivity (λ) decreased from 1.3 W/m·K (for the control specimen) to 0.86 W/m·K. In the case of cement mortar containing 5% of dry olive pomace aggregates mixed with olive mill wastewater, the thermal conductivity (λ) decreased from 1.1 W/m·K (control specimen) to 0.87 W/m·K. In conclusion, this study revealed that the materials developed and tested under laboratory conditions meet the required standards for general use in construction

Cette étude est une contribution à la valorisation du grignon d’olives (GO), sous produits oléicoles à caractère lignocellulosique. La voie proposée consiste à utiliser le GO comme charge dans des polymères de grande diffusion à savoir le poly (éthylène/propylène) [CEP] d’origine fossile et le poly (acide lactique) [PLA], issu des ressources renouvelables. Les différentes formulations, CEP/GO et PLA/GO, élaborées à l’état fondu dans une extrudeuse bivis ont été étudiés du point de vue des propriétés rhéologiques, thermique, mécanique et de la morphologie. Différents tiers-corps copolymères de structures diverses ont été utilisés dans le but de promouvoir l’adhésion à l’interface des composants et/ou de réduire la dégradation du polymère matrice et améliorer les performances des systèmes composites ainsi conçus. Les observations morphologiques ont corroboré parfaitement l’ensemble des propriétés étudiées
This study is a contribution to the valorization of Olive Solid Waste (OSW) which displays a Lignocellulosic nature. The proposed approach consists in using the OSW as a filler in commodity polymers namely the poly (ethylene/propylene) [CEP] of fossil origin and the poly (lactic acid), derived from renewable resources. The different formulations, CEP/GO and PLA/GO, processed in the molten state in a twin screw extruder were studied from the side of rheological, thermal, mechanical properties and morphology. Different copolymers of various structures were used in order to promote the adhesion in the interface of the components and/or to reduce the polymer matrix degradation and to improve the composite systems performances. Morphological observations corroborated perfectly the studied properties
