TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of using sawdust and/or mature compost as a bulking agent to achieve effective composting was assessed and the results showed that mixing of FWD with sawdust alone or together with mature compost could produce quality compost with reduced NH4+-N within 2 weeks of co-composting.

TL;DR: The results obtained revealed that the thermodynamic simulations (FactSage) were successful to predict the best reaction conditions for the synthesis of carbon, and potentially carbon fibers and nanotubes production as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Carbon nanostructures were produced by wood sawdust pyrolysis. The results obtained revealed that the thermodynamic simulations (FactSage) were successful to predict the best reaction conditions for the synthesis of carbon, and potentially carbon fibers and nanotubes production. Graphite formation was indicated by XRD study, and by thermal analysis which presented the carbon oxidation range. The morphology of the samples (SEM/TEM analysis) showed carbon nanotubes/nanofibers varying in size and thickness, with defects and flaws. The tubular reactor was considered to be an economic and environmental correct way to nanomaterials growing, with the simultaneous generation of hydrogen and lower pollutant gas emissions.

TL;DR: In this article, a pelletization process was designed which produces cylindrical pellets ∼8mm in length and 4mm in diameter, which were manufactured using a blend of Pinus Patula and Cypress sawdust and coal in proportions of 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30% v/v of coal of rank sub-bituminous extracted from the Nechi mine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the characteristics and quality of the pine sawdust, wheat straw and rapeseed straw agglomerates blended in different proportions, including the poured density, tapped density and the Carr compressibility index, according to standard test method ASTM D6393: 1999.

TL;DR: The equilibrium and kinetic study revealed that the Radke-Prausnitz isotherm and pseudo second order kinetics model fitted the respective data well and showed the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the adsorption process.
