An Investigation of Binders for the Production of Biomass Briquettes from Sawdust and Cow Dung Admixture
Abstract: This study explored an investigation on the effect of binders for the production of biomass briquette from saw dust and cow dung admixture for domestic cooking applications. The materials used to investigate the study were sawdust and cow dung was treated, and the sawdust was grind and screened using sieve mesh size into particle size of 2mm. The biomass briquettes were produced by mixing sawdust and cow dung within the …

Removal of Cadmium from Aqueous Solution by Modified Sawdust as Adsorbent
Abstract: The study was carried out to determine the percentage removal efficiency of heavy metal like cadmium by using the modified form of sawdust as an adsorbent. Cadmium is highly toxic to human, plant and all living organism present in the environment. It was found that the chemically treated sawdust is a better adsorbent as compare to the untreated form of sawdust. After treating the sawdust with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), it …

Production of Cellulosic Ethanol from Wood Sawdust by Sulphuric acid Hydrolysis
Abstract: In this study, production of cellulosic ethanol from wood sawdust was investigated. Four experimental parameters were investigated during the hydrolysis and ethanol production. These are particle size (1–3 mm), acid concentration (3–7%), temperature (90–110°C), and time(120–240 min). The total reduced sugar content and ethanol yield was determined. Response surface methodology (RSM) employing the central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize the total reduced sugar and ethanol yield. Cite this …
