TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed an economic and energy analysis of briquettes and pellets production and showed that the individual production of solid biofuels from digestate is more profitable than using sawdust as a substrate.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the sawdust and neem powder briquettes and its blends is discussed and the results show that the neem-powder has significantly higher strength, but lower calorific value compared with the saw-dust briquette.
Abstract: This paper discusses the performance of the sawdust and neem powder briquette and its blends. In the first set of experiments, the sawdust and neem powder briquettes are produced by manually operated hydraulic pelletizer in the pressure range of 7–33 MPa. The strength of briquettes is investigated by the shatter index, impact resistance, durability index and water resistance test. The calorific value and water boiling tests have been also conducted to study the performance of the briquettes. The result shows that the neem powder briquette has significantly higher strength, but lower calorific value compared with the sawdust briquette. Also the performance of the briquettes increases with increase in pressure. Thus the maximum pressure of 33 MPa is used for the second set of experiments. In the second set of experiments, the neem powder is blended with the sawdust in the ratio of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100 (Sawdust:Neem powder). The study shows that the sawdust with neem powder as binding agent has considerably increased the strength of the briquette with a little reduction in burning rate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption behavior of biomaterial activated sawdust-Chitosan nanocomposite beads (SDNCB) powder was investigated along with synthesis and experimental techniques approaches to study the removal efficiency of some heavy metal ions including Ni (II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions by assessing the surface modified activated carbon by the cost-effective non-conventional method.

TL;DR: Three kinds of adsorbents-potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sawdust and mixture of potassium diHydrogen phosphate and sawdust were added respectively into composting to investigate their adsorption effect on ammonia, and the experimental results showed that all the adsorbent could restrain ammonia volatilizing.

TL;DR: The sorption capacity of the adsorbents obtained towards NO(2) was proved to be determined by the surface chemistry and the reactions taking place on the surface rather than by the specific surface area development.
