TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of biomass bed thickness and distance between successive beds on pyrolytic products yield were carried out, and the entire reactor was fitted inside the furnace so as to distribute the heat uniformly throughout the rector which also signified that each biomass bed has the same thermal profile at any time.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the reported work on the uptake of dyes and heavy metals by natural and modified sawdust during the last 10 years is presented, and it is found that pine, beech and mansonia sawdust are the most extensively studied adsorbents.
Abstract: Sawdust is abundantly available from the timber and forest industry and has been studied in recent past as an adsorbent. This paper reviews the reported work on the uptake of dyes and heavy metals by natural and modified sawdust during the last 10 years. Research works examine the performance of isotherm models against the experimental equilibrium data, and an attempt has been made to discuss the kinetics of adsorption of metal ions and dyes on various sawdust materials on the basis of published report. Regeneration of sawdust materials has also been reviewed. It is found that pine, beech and mansonia sawdust are the most extensively studied adsorbents, whereas Pb2+ and methylene blue are the most efficiently removed pollutants, the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms provide the best fit in most of the cases, and in general, pseudo-second-order kinetics is followed. There are very limited column studies and no report on commercial plant. Sawdust has a great potential in the wastewater tr...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used sawdust pellet with high-volatile and low-ash content as fuel, and a natural manganese-iron ore as oxygen carrier for CLG in a bubbling fluidized bed.

TL;DR: Models were developed to study the influence of biomaterial properties and operating conditions on molar concentration of gas constituents and energy output and the gas yield for coir pith, rice husk and sawdust was found to be in the range of 1.98-3.18 Nm3 kg(-1), respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of wastepaper and wood in cement-based materials is reviewed, showing that wood waste and sawdust can be used in concrete as light-weight aggregates capable of enhancing the weight-to-strength ratio, insulation properties and toughness characteristics of concrete materials.
Abstract: Beneficial utilization of wastepaper and wood in cement-based materials is reviewed. Wastepaper presents a source of reinforcing fibers for thin-sheet cement products; these fibers help overcome the problems with the brittle nature of failure and low cracking resistance of plain cement products. Wood waste and sawdust can be used in concrete as light-weight aggregates capable of enhancing the weight-to-strength ratio, insulation properties and toughness characteristics of concrete materials.
