Open burning and dumping of pruning waste into landfills is detrimental for environmental quality. This study was planned to convert pruning waste into biochar-based organomineral phosphatic fertilizer (BOMPF). A BOMPF with 20% P2O5 was prepared by enrichment of diammonium phosphate (DAP) in biochar...

The present paper mainly focused on the statistical optimization of biodiesel production from the non-edible seed of Mimusops Elengi using a potassium hydroxide -catalyzed Transesterification process. Consequently, it compares the prediction and simulating efficiencies of the Response Surface Method...

In papermaking industry, large water consumption and hazardous wastes generation, particularly paper sludge, present environmental challenges. This study focuses on the valorization of the paper sludge by optimizing the extraction of total sugars through chemical treatment under various operating...

More strict environmental rules and pollution from fossil fuels necessitate cleaner fuels like biodiesel. Production of diesel automobiles has decreased in recent years due to a serious issue with air pollution caused by increased emissions of toxic gases. The most encouraging fuel currently is...

ABSTRACT This project is part of the promotion of natural resources such as Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP). In order to assess the economic value of NTFP, this research focuses on the phytochemical analysis of holm oak ( Quercus ilex L.) from the Terni region (Western Algeria). It focused on...

Among the lignocellulose wastes Paddy Straw is the most abundant one which have the ability of being used as a feedstock for production of biofuel. In this work, paddy straw is subjected to dilute acid pretreatment, detoxification and fermentation processes for the production of lipids...

The study conducted a practical examination to evaluate the influence of high temperatures on the strength and repetitive impact performance of Polypropylene fiber-reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs). Compressive and bending strength were examined using cylindrical and beam-shaped...

The use of active and recyclable catalysts is advantageous for catalytic biodiesel synthesis from waste vegetable oils which is in demand owing to frequent calls on environmental pollution and for clean renewable energy production. For this study, homogenous catalysts are effective at converting...

The flow properties of the binary cement paste system added with supplementary cementitious materials, effect of polycarboxylate based superplasticizer dosage and their influence on the yield stress and the plastic viscosity were studied. The cementitious materials under the study are silica fume...

Discrete studies are performed on the reuse of end-of-life tires in the construction industry as their accumulation is a global concern to the environment. In consequence, the desired focus of this work is to understand the interaction of powder derived from recycling process of tire waste which yet...
