A single ton of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) demands around 4.0 G Joule energy and creates about a ton of CO 2 emission. As part of our effort to preserve the environment, the …
Development of sustainable concrete as an alternative to conventional concrete helps in reducing carbon dioxide footprint associated with the use of cement and disposal of waste …
Pyrolysis is a potential technology used for the transformation of municipal wastes into energy products such as biofuel. Existing reviews on pyrolysis mainly focus on agroforestry …
The rise in plastic waste production has led to the development of co-pyrolysis of waste plastics and biomass as a potential solution. This process converts waste into valuable …
A micro-mesoporous activated carbon (AC) was produced via an innovative approach combining microwave pyrolysis and chemical activation using NaOH/KOH mixture. The …
Conventional thermochemical conversion techniques for biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass is often non-selective and energy inefficient. Microwave assisted …
Malaysia is among the top most important palm oil producers in the world. The country is experiencing a robust development in new oil palm plantations and palm oil mills. This …
