A Preliminary Study of Biodegradable Waste as Sorbent Material for Oil-Spill Cleanup
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Oil spill constitutes a major source of fresh and seawater pollution as a result of accidental discharge from tankers, marine engines, and underwater pipes. Therefore, the need for cost-effective and environmental friendly sorbent materials for oil spill

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract The role of biochar in mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from tropical soils, especially when combined with compost, is still not adequately researched. This study evaluated the effects of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) biochar applied at 10 and 20 t ha−1 (B10 and B20), compost at 20 t ha−1 (CP20) and in combination (B10CP20 and ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Eco‐friendly agriculture is needed for degraded peatland rehabilitation purposes while also meeting community needs to reduce pressure on the land. The selection of plant species must meet the criteria for these two purposes. Moringa oleifera has been identified as capable of growing on marginal lands such as degraded peatland.

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Natural fiber‐reinforced, natural resin (NFR‐NR)–based biocomposites are a sustainable set of materials developed to offset the ecological and environmental consequences resulting from the use of man‐made composites. The biocomposites are reinforced with the vegetable fibers such as jute, flax, hemp, kenaf, and so on with biodegradable polymeric ...

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Whey, a by‐product of the cheese manufacturing industry, represents one of the most abundant and polluting effluents in the global food industry. Despite traditionally being underutilized and often discarded, its rich nutrient profile, particularly protein and lactose, has increasingly sparked an interest in its value within biotechnological processes.

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The increasing energy demand in developing countries necessitates the need to explore renewable energy sources such as biomass briquettes. In this study, bio‐briquettes from biodegradable wastes were developed for sustainable fuel applications. Cylindrical briquettes were fabricated using biochar (160 g) with tapioca starch (16–28 g) and Makoro clay ...
