Development of a Novel Superhydrophobic Sawdust–Perspex Composite Disc for Efficient Oil–Water Separation

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water pollution by oil and organic substances causes serious problems that threaten the ecosystem. Superhydrophobic materials represent an effective solution for removing oil from water. The present paper investigates the development of a low‐cost, superhydrophobic composite for oil–water separation.

MODIFIED SAWDUST CONCRETE [PDF]

Statyba, 2000
Summary Wood-cement materials are widely produced and applied in many developed countries. In this case special prepared wood aggregates are employed. Wood sawdust practically is not employed. Extracts, present in wood, slow down the cement hydration. The influence of mineral additives on this process was determined. The efficiency of mineral additives

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
