The use of almond-shell biomass ash (ABA) as an alternative component to the commercial reagents used in the activation of blast furnace slag (BFS) systems is investigated. The presence in its chemical composition of a ...

Considering the importance of bio-wastes thermo-chemical conversion to fuel and platform molecules, three types of zeolites (ZSM-5, Beta and Y) were tested as heterogeneous catalysts. Peanut shell is a high volume agricultural ...

The moisture adsorption isotherms of pineapple processing waste - shell and central cylinder - were determined at 40, 50, 60 and 70C using a gravimetric method. The sorption data were fitted to six well-known sorption ...

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 ...

Copyrolysis of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) shells and cassava (Manihot esculenta) starch using mixtures of different proportions was examined to improve yield of the bio-oil and its quality. Pyrolysis of the individual ...

Palm oil mill wastes (palm kernel shell (PKS)) were used to prepare activated carbons, which were tested in the removal of colorants from water. The adsorbents were prepared by 1-h impregnation of PKS with ZnCl2 as the ...

Most of the national peanut production, estimated at 900,000 tons per year, is processed in several cities in the central area of Argentina. The third part of this amount corresponds to the shells, which are separated in ...
