Characterization of valorized pinewood sawdust to engineered activated biochar. by Stuart Majing, Fanthagiro Rossi, Chan, Yen San, Tan, Inn Shi, Tan, Yie Hua, Samsudin, Mohd. Dinie Muhaimin

“…The mistreatment of biomass, which commonly produced from the cultivation of agricultural crops and harvesting, has contributed to large amounts of waste. The bio-mass wastes are valuable resources with a promising property to be used in various environmental remediation applications, such as pinewood sawdust (PWS) is a well-known valuable feedstock for biochar production due to rich in carbon composition. …”

Morphometric Analysis of Pluto’s Impact Craters by Caio Vidaurre Nassif Villaça, Alvaro Penteado Crósta, Carlos Henrique Grohmann

“…Two hypotheses are presented to explain these differences: (1) The presence of volatile ices can affect the formation of craters by making the target surface weaker and more susceptible to major changes (e.g., mass waste and collapse of the walls) during the formation process until its final stage; (2) The high concentration of volatiles can affect the depth of the craters by atmospheric decantation, considering that these elements undergo seasonal decantation and sublimation cycles.…”

Processing renewable and waste-based feedstocks with fluid catalytic cracking: Impact on catalytic performance and considerations for improved catalyst design by Melissa Clough Mastry, Lucas Dorazio, James C. Fu, Juan Pedro Gómez, Sergio Sedano, Snehesh S. Ail, Marco J. Castaldi, Bilge Yilmaz

“…Refiners around the globe are either considering or are actively replacing a portion of their crude oil inputs originating from fossil sources with alternative sources, including recycled materials (plastics, urban waste, mixed solid waste) and renewable materials (bio-mass waste, vegetable oils). In this paper, we explore such replacement, specifically focusing on the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) operation. …”
