TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical modification of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and coconut fibre (coir) using non-catalysed acetic anhydride were investigated, and an increase in the interfacial shear strength between acetylated fibres and hydrophobic resins was noted.
270 citations
TL;DR: This review aims to provide updated information on the development of algal biochar in terms of the production methods and the characterization of its physical and chemical properties to justify and to expand their potential applications.

TL;DR: Results show that the COSHTC3 prepared from low-cost agricultural waste with average pore diameter 28.6 Å and surface area 876.14 m2/g acts as a better adsorbent for removal of cationic dyes and could pave the way for more low- cost adsorbents for dye removal.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential and prospective of seaweeds to play the role as a sustainable energy provider are demonstrated in a third-generation bio-ethanol biorefinery.
Abstract: Several biofuel candidates were proposed to displace fossil fuels in order to eliminate the vulnerability of energy sector Biodiesel and bioethanol produced from terrestrial plants have attracted the attention of the world as potential substitute However, due to food vs fuel competition as well as land consumption of these biofuel, they have brought much controversy and debate on their sustainability In this respect, cultivation of macroalgae such as seaweed at sea water which does not expend arable land and fertilizers provides a possible solution for this energy issue Carbohydrates derived from seaweeds contain hexose sugars which are suitable materials for fermentation to produce ethanol Therefore, it is possible to produce fuel ethanol from seaweeds The potential and prospective of seaweeds to play the role as a sustainable energy provider are demonstrated in this paper This study offers a conceivable picture of macroalgae-based third-generation bioethanol biorefinery to stimulate the initiation of the exploration in the related field

TL;DR: Effectiveness of important process parameters H(2)O(2)/Fe(2+) molar ratio, current density, pH and reaction time were determined, optimized and modeled successfully and indicate that E-Fenton process was an effective technology for semi-aerobic landfill leachate treatment.
