Much of the literature surrounding PEF is focused on unit processes, with little regard for their sustainability and economic viability. In this comprehensive critical review, the entire process of PEF production, from the feedstock to polymerization and upstream applications, is critically examined. Identification of individual pathways capable of producing PEF efficiently and with favorable properties while considering economic viability and environmental sustainability are presented. For each unit operation, recent technological developments are summarized, and recommendations are made based on process efficiency. The collection of the findings from both life cycle assessments (LCA) and techno‐economic analyses (TEA) facilitated the identification of pathways with the greatest potential for environmental sustainability and economic viability of PEF production.}, journal={ADVANCED SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS}, author={Sanders, John H. and Cunniffe, Julia and Carrejo, Edgar and Burke, Cullen and Reynolds, Autumn M. and Dey, Shaikat Chandra and Islam, Md.

Effective fractionation of the cellulose from paper sludge presents an opportunity to yield cellulose as feedstock for value-added processes. A novel approach to cellulose fractionation is the sidehill screening system, herein studied at the pilot-plant scale. Composition analysis determined ash removal and carbohydrate retention of both sidehill and high-performance benchtop screening systems. Sidehill screening resulted in greater carbohydrates retention relative to benchtop screening (90% vs 66%) and similar ash removal (95% vs 98%). Techno-economic analysis for production of sugar syrup yielded a minimum selling price of $331/metric ton of sugar syrup including disposal savings, significantly less than a commercial sugar syrup without fractionation. Sensitivity analysis showed that screening conditions played a significant role in economic feasibility for cellulosic yield and downstream processes.}, journal={BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY}, author={Tiller, Phoenix and Park, Hyeonji and Cruz, David and Carrejo, Edgar and Johnson, David K. and Mittal, Ashutosh and Venditti, Richard and Park, Sunkyu}, year={2024}, month={Jun} }
