TL;DR: Dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (D-μSPE) has gained special attention in the sample preparation process due to its simplicity, speed, and efficiency as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (D-μSPE) has gained special attention in the sample preparation process due to its simplicity, speed and efficiency. Different dispersion approaches have been used within this technique to allow a close contact between the sorbent and the donor sample solution during the entrapping step, but also between the sorbent and the solvent in the elution step. This dispersion favors the kinetics of both sorption and elution and therefore increases the efficiency of the overall extraction procedure. This technique boasts of high versatility owing to the great variety of solids available, covering a high range of chemical functionalities. This article provides an overview of the D-μSPE describing the origins, but making emphasis on the main extraction workflows, including the strategies to disperse the sorbents, and the sorbents themselves. Finally, the future trends of this technique are also discussed, being focused on automation and direct coupling with instrumental techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview on the utilization of different biomass feedstocks and/or biomass-derived precursors for the synthesis of carbonaceous materials and their emerging applications in catalysis.
Abstract: Novel biomass-derived porous carbons are attractive candidates for the preparation of carbon-supported catalysts with a wide range of catalytic applications. Such carbonaceous catalysts are environmentally benign and could provide a cost-competitive advantage as compared to existing heterogeneous catalysts. Tunable surface properties of carbon materials and excellent physical properties (e.g., hydrophobicity, chemically inert nature, etc.) are compatible with diverse catalysis reactions including organic transformations, as well as electro- and photochemical processes in aqueous solutions. This contribution provides an overview on the utilization of different biomass feedstocks and/or biomass-derived precursors for the synthesis of carbonaceous materials to design advanced catalytic systems and their emerging applications in catalysis.

TL;DR: The capability and kinetic behaviour of several fungi to deal with such a waste reducing the phenol content of OMW was studied and the removal of total phenols relative to the total organic load consumed might indicate a measure of the selectivity with which the microorganisms remove phenols among other organic compounds present.

TL;DR: In this paper, the current state-of-the-art concerning mechanical site preparation for improved tree establishment when carried out in different forest restoration situations, point out critical research gaps and provide some recommendations for future directions.
Abstract: Forest restoration projects have become increasingly common around the world and planting trees is almost always a key component. Low seedling survival and growth may result in restoration failures and various mechanical site preparation techniques for treatment of soils and vegetation are important tools used to help counteract this. In this article, we synthesize the current state-of-knowledge concerning mechanical site preparation for improved tree establishment when carried out in different forest restoration situations, point out critical research gaps and provide some recommendations for future directions. Mechanical site preparation often results in improved seedling survival and growth. However, if not intensive methods with much soil disturbance are used, it is a rather ineffective tool for controlling competing vegetation. Methods such as scarification, mounding and subsoiling also lead to multiple interactions among soil physical and chemical properties that affect plant survival and growth, and it may be difficult to determine the actual cause–effect relationship of any positive seedling responses. Most research to date on mechanical site preparation and plantation performance has been conducted using a few conifer tree species. Seedling responses differ among tree species and alternative species are often used during restoration compared to production forestry indicating a need for additional research for improved understanding. Several management objectives such as soil protection and increased biodiversity are many times relevant during forest restoration, and mechanical site preparation methods should be implemented carefully because they can have large impacts on the environment.
