XAFS analysis of Arsenic bound in holocellulose extracted from organic-rich contaminated sediments [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 The arsenic bound in holocellulose, a precursor of humic substances extracted from organic contaminated sediments, was investigated using XANES (x-ray adsorption near-edge structure) and EXAFS (extended x-ray absorption fine structure) with fluorescence ...

Integrating anaerobic digestion and slow pyrolysis improves the product portfolio of a cocoa waste biorefinery [PDF]
, 2020 The integration of conversion processes with anaerobic digestion is key to increase value from agricultural waste, like cocoa pod husks, generated in developing countries. The production of one metric ton of cocoa beans generates some 15 metric tonnes of

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 204-215, March 2026.ABSTRACT Intumescent paints, coatings, or sealants are a popular form of passive protection in the fire industry. However, the impact of their toxicity and constituent synthetic chemical ingredients is an important consideration for sustainability. This research experimentally studied an agricultural grain, known as millet, quantifying its unusual ...

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic wheat straw in ethanolwater co-solvents [PDF]
, 2017 Pretreatment is the key process for lignocellulosic biomass conversion, which is necessary to alter the structure of biomass to make cellulose and hemicellulose more accessible to the enzymes that convert the carbohydrate polymers into fermentable sugars.

Engineering 2‐Pyrone‐4,6‐Dicarboxylic Acid Production Reveals Metabolic Plasticity of Poplar
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1398-1413, March 2026.ABSTRACT Woody biomass is a promising source of fermentable sugars for biofuels and bio‐based chemicals, but its industrial use is limited by the costly biorefinery process. A viable strategy to reduce costs involves enhancing both biomass processability and the generation of high‐value co‐products.

Factors influencing the nematode community during composting and nematode-based criteria for compost maturity [PDF]
, 2018 Pilot studies indicate that shifts in the nematode species composition, life strategies and feeding behavior during composting appear to be fairly consistent and, therefore, promising as a potential tool to assess compost maturity. However, this has been
