The use of almond-shell biomass ash (ABA) as an alkali source in one-part blast furnace slag (BFS) mortars activation was investigated for the first time. The chemical composition of ABA revealed high alkalinity ash to be ...

The urge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combined with the severe damage to the environment, such as the increase in the average world’s temperature, lead to incentives for research aimed at sustainable development. ...

In this work, a simple thermal-catalytic system was used to valorize peanut shells (Arachis hypogaea), the residual biomass from the peanut industry. To accomplish this purpose, tin modified MEL zeolites were synthesized ...

In times of rethinking production processes and consumption habits to minimize the effects of global warming, it is crucial to find alternatives that lead to replacing fossil fuels by renewable materials. The development ...

Effective valorization of vegetable biomass under the biorefinery concept depends on taking full advantage of its chemical composition, which must be accurately quantified to appropriately valorize each one of its fractions. ...

The lack of conventional fuels in rural areas in Peru drives people to burn agricultural wastes that are used as fuel. Burning these wastes produce a large amount of gaseous pollutants that harm the health of ...

One of the problems associated with biomass combustion is the amount of fly ashes generated and its subsequent management. The search for ways of valorizing these ashes has been a challenge for the academic and industrial ...
