TL;DR: In this paper, a microwave pyrolysis of biomass is proposed to produce activated biochar with desirable properties for wide application in pollution control, catalysis and energy storage, and the key implications for future development are highlighted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that membrane treatment is the ultimate choice of approach to completely remove the antibiotics, while the filtered antibiotics are still retained on the membrane, while real-time monitoring system is also recommended to ascertain that, wastewater is cleared of antibiotics.

TL;DR: In this article, an extensive review of the scientific literature associated with various microwave pyrolysis applications in waste to energy engineering is presented, and it is concluded that more work is needed to extend existing understanding of these aspects in order to develop improvements to the process to transform it into a commercially viable route to recover energy from waste materials in an environmentally sustainable manner.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors acknowledge the financial support by Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation Malaysia (MOSTI), Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia (MOHE), and Universiti Malaysia Terengganu for the conduct of the research under the E-Science fund (UMT/RMC/SF/13/52072(5), Vot no. 52072), the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (Project no. FRGS/1/2013/TK05/UMTs/02/2, Vot No. 59296), and the Research Acc

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used microwave pyrolysis of palm kernel shell as the selected OPW produced a biochar with zero sulphur content and high heating value that is nearly comparable to conventional coal, thus indicating its potential as an eco-friendly solid fuel.
