TL;DR: Considering the lower market price of biochar compared to MAC (estimated as at least 16 times less expensive by a small market survey), the former can be considered more competitive than the latter.

TL;DR: Alnus nepalensis sawdust supplemented with gram flour showed higher yield among all treatments and Supplementation showed positive role in mycelia growth and yield of mushroom.
Abstract: In this study, the effects of various kinds of sawdust and supplements on the yield of Ganoderma lucidum were investigated in artificial cultivation. The sawdust of Alnus nepalensis , Shorea robusta and Dalbergia sisoo and supplements of rice bran , wheat bran, corn flour and gram flour were used as substrates in Ganoderma lucidum cultivation . Sawdust alone was used in control as a substrate media in the cultivation. Significant differences (P< 0.05) were found among varieties of sawdusts and supplements. Similarly significant differences (P<0.05) were found in sawdust with supplements and without supplements in yield and biological efficiency. Dalbergia sisoo sawdust could not give yield in ambient condition; Shorea robusta gave very low yield and biological efficiency. Alnus nepalensis gave good yield and biological efficiency compared to the other sawdust.The highest yield and Biological efficiency were obtained from gram flour compared to the other brans. Alnus nepalensis sawdust supplemented with gram flour showed higher yield among all treatments. Supplementation showed positive role in mycelia growth and yield of mushroom.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical properties of briquettes produced from two different biomass feedstocks (sawdust and date palm trunk) and different plastic wastes, without using any external binding agent, were investigated.
Abstract: In this study, the physical properties of briquettes produced from two different biomass feedstocks (sawdust and date palm trunk) and different plastic wastes, without using any external binding agent, were investigated The biomass feedstocks were blended with different ratios of two waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) plastics (halogen-free wire and printed circuit boards (PCBs)) and automotive shredder residues (ASR) The briquettes production is studied at different waste proportions (10–30%), pressures (22–67 MPa) and temperatures (room–130 °C) Physical properties as density and durability rating were measured, usually increasing with temperature Palm trunk gave better results than sawdust in most cases, due to its moisture content and the extremely fine particles that are easily obtained

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the hemicelluloses were extensively removed at 170 and 190°C, whereas cellulose was partly degraded to Eucalyptus urograndis and Eucallyptus grandis sawdust, and the lignin content decreased, while the extractives content increased.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface color of metakaolin was changed to green to a depth of 900μm due to ion exchange with copper ions, and the results revealed that the geopolymer ion-exchanged with copper ion suppressed the growth of oyster mushrooms in sawtooth oak sawdust.
