TL;DR: Overall, the blend biomass showed synergy which provides ways to expand the possibility of utilizing multiple feedstocks in one thermo-chemical system.

••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a new building material, Wood-Crete, using sawdust, waste paper and Tradical lime, and showed that lightweight sustainable blocks can be produced with good insulating and other relevant properties for building construction with density ranging from 356 to 713 kg/m3 and compressive strength from 006 to 080 MPa.

TL;DR: The adsorbent upgrading/modification process might be considered to take place within an 'Industrial Ecology' framework because sawdust is an industrial waste/byproduct and the salts used can be recovered as spent liquids from various chemical operations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of various reaction conditions such as reaction temperature (180-300 °C), residence time (0-60 min), water to sawdust ratio (2-10), and initial N2 pressure (0 -2 MPa) on the product yields were studied using a high pressure batch reactor in order to determine the optimal liquefaction parameters for the production of maximum bio-oil yield.
Abstract: In the present study, hydrothermal liquefaction of waste furniture sawdust was examined. The effects of various reaction conditions such as reaction temperature (180–300 °C), residence time (0–60 min), water to sawdust ratio (2–10) and initial N2 pressure (0–2 MPa) on the product yields were studied using a high pressure batch reactor in order to determine the optimal liquefaction parameters for the production of maximum bio-oil yield. The solid residue was characterized to investigate the mechanism of hydrothermal liquefaction process by FT-IR. The highest sawdust conversion (61.6 wt%) and bio-oil yield (12.7 wt%) were obtained at 280 °C, 15 min and ratio of the water to sawdust of 6 with initial N2 pressure of 1.0 MPa. The higher heating values (HHVs) of the bio-oils were found to be within the range of 17–30 MJ kg−1. The GC-MS analysis revealed that sawdust liquefaction bio-oils comprised a complex mixture of organic compounds, which include alcohols, acids, aldehydes, ketones, esters, phenols and their derivatives.
