Review on: Case study for the Construction of Particleboard Using Sugarcane Bagasse
Abstract: The major objective of this review paper was construction of particleboard using sugarcane bagasse. Particleboard is a wood-based panel product manufactured under pressure and temperature from the particles of wood or other any lignocellulose fibrous materials and a binder. It is used widely in the manufacture of furniture, floor underlayment and interior decoration. A primary lignocellulose material used in the particleboard industry is woods, but non-woods plant fibers and agro-based …

Novel Porous Refractory Synthesized from Diatomaceous Earth and Rice Husk Ash
Abstract: Refractory materials are products used in thermal equipment to protect the fire and prevent heat loss to the outside environment. Thermal equipment such as driers, ceramic kilns, glass or metal furnaces and others always consume high heat in the combustion of the fuel. If the thermal equipments have high heat loss which cause wastes of fuel and increases production costs. Therefore, researchers are always looking for a solution to minimize …

Isolation of Amylase Producing Bacteria from Tella and Analysis of the Contribution of Their Amylases in ‘Tella’ (Ethiopian Local Beer) Production
Abstract: Abstract: ‘Tella’ is an Ethiopian home-brewed beer which is made up of different cereals and Rhamnus prinoides as bittering agent. The objective of this study was to identify efficient amylase producing bacteria isolates form ‘tella’ and compare their amylase with amylase from malt. Four potentially amylase producing bacteria (designated A, B, C, and D) were isolated and compared their amylase activities with amylase from malt using standard methods. The concentration …

Polymer Waste-Derived Activated Carbon from PET for High-Efficiency Supercapacitor Electrodes
Abstract: The exponential increase in plastic waste, particularly Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)—a polymer characterized by its repeating aromatic terephthalate units and ester linkages—has escalated into a global environmental crisis. This study details a low-cost synthesis of porous carbon materials derived from waste PET via pyrolysis followed by chemical activation with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). During pyrolysis, the PET polymer chains undergo thermal degradation, where the aromatic rings in the backbone serve as precursors …
