TL;DR: An overview of the development of different types of flocculants that were being investigated for treatment of industrial wastewater can be found in this paper, where the flocculation mechanism is discussed.

TL;DR: A review of the current scientific literature associated with the application of microwave heating for both the pre-treatment and upgrading of various biomass feedstocks across different bioenergy conversion pathways including thermal and biochemical processes can be found in this article.

TL;DR: Electromagnetic simulations and heating experiments were used to show how significant temperature gradients can exist within the heated materials, and that very different results can be obtained depending on the method used to measure temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, the flux performance of organic solvents through a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite membrane was examined and it was suggested that the mechanism has a greater influence at higher pressures and the modus operandi is supported by the nonseparation of binary solvent mixtures and a dependency on viscosity and membrane thickness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide innovative scalable concepts to perform the microwave pyrolysis of biomass on a large scale, including essential energy and material handling requirements, and some of the possible socioeconomic and environmental implications derived from the use of this technology in our society are discussed.
