Fluidization characteristics of sawdust in a cold flow fluidized bed

India has abundance of biomass such as rice husk, bagasse, wheat straw, sawdust etc. which is used as a main or auxiliary fuel in the fluidized bed combustor, gasifier and pyrolizer. Design of such fluidized bed equipments require the knowledge of minimum fluidization velocity (U_mf), complete fluidization velocity (U_cf) and transport disengagement height (TDH). The present work reports the fluidization characteristic, U_mf, U_cf and TDH of the individual size groups of sawdust and mixture thereof. The results indicate that the U_mf and U_cf have a tendency to increase with increase in particle diameter, however the TDH shows the reverse trend. The sawdust particle size of 925 and 1200 ​μm showed significant difference between their U_mf and U_cf, an essential parameter for controlled fluidization. Based on the experimental work new correlations for the prediction of U_mf, U_cf and TDH for sawdust sample are proposed. The proposed correlations of U_mf, U_cf and TDH are in good agreement with experimental values and the deviations found within the range of nearly ±10% for all the samples.

Synthesis,characterization, biocompatibility,thermal and mechanical performances of sawdust reinforced composite

The work outlines the synthesis of a new and easy technique to develop sustainable composites of sawdusts reinforced polyester resin composites. For shaping a new approach we have found very rare approach for developing composites with sawdusts of Mahagoni wood (Swietenia mahagoni) reinforced polyester resin composites in open literatures. Due to this gap, a plan made to develop untreated and treated sawdusts (very common in Bangladesh and many other countries of the world) reinforced strong and durable composites with unsaturated polyester resins along with their biodegradability, thermal and mechnical properties where the material properties were revealed and corelations were elaborated in the subsequent sections. Specifically, the tensile strengths of virgin resin (VR), untreated sawdust reinforced composite (UTSDC) and 4% caustic soda treated sawdust reinforced composite (4TSDC) are 10.77, 15.83 and 21.64 N/mm², respectively. That means the observed reinforcement property for UTSDC and 4TSDC increased ~47% and 101%, respectively. Moreover, the binding phenomena were explained with the own schamatic presentation. The composite phenomena was explained sequentially by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, etc. Between the developed composites 4TSDC was strong (25% as compared from tensile strength) and durable (8% as observed in biodegradability results) than the UTSDC of unsaturated polyester resin. The pattern of water uptake follows usual Fickian diffusion behavior. The observed properties of the developed convincible composites indicate that they can be considered for indoor to outdoor applications especially for using the fence, roof, furniture items like chair, table, park benches, etc.

Chemical variability and antioxidant activity of Cedrus atlantica Manetti essential oils isolated from wood tar and sawdust

The present research was devoted to evaluating the effect of provenance and wood pyrolysis process on the phytochemical and antioxidant activity of essential oils extracted from sawdust and tar of Cedrus atlantica Manetti of Morocco. The essential oils were obtained by hydro-distillation from Cedar wood growing in two geographical locations of the Middle Atlas of Morocco (Senoual and Itzer forests) using a Clevenger-type apparatus and analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Seventy compounds were approximately identified for each essential oil, accounting for 94% of the total oil’s composition, with the predominance of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, where, α-himachalene (13.75%, 1.15%, 12.2%, and 16.69%) and β-himachalene (24.05%, 24.25%, 27.67%, and 44.23%) represented the major constituents in the four essential oils obtained. Multivariate analysis was used to discriminate the essential oils using principal component analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA). In addition, heatmap for dendrogram was used to investigate any correlation between the chemical profiles of each essential oil. Moreover, the antioxidant properties of the essential oils were studied using DPPH scavenging and Ferric Ion Reducing Power (FRAP). The results indicate that the essential oils from wood tar of Cedrus atlantica possess a strong antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ = 0.126 mg/mL and 0.143 mg/mL) in comparison with those from sawdust (IC₅₀ = 15.6 mg/mL and 16.3 mg/mL).     

Sorption Studies of Nickel ions Onto Sawdust of Dalbergia Sissoo

Sawdust of Dalbergia sissoo, a byproduct of sawmills, was found to be a promising adsorbent for the removal of nickel ions from aqueous solution. Sorption of nickel ions onto sawdust of Dalbergia sissoo was studied using the batch technique. Kinetics studies show that nickel ions sorption process obeys a first order rate law. The applicability of the Langmuir and Freundlich models for the data was tested. Both the models adequately describe the experimental data of the biosorption of nickel ions. The sorption capacities and energies were calculated. Langmuir parameters X_m and K₁ were found to increase with rise in temperature; Freundlich constants 1/n and K_f have been evaluated for 293K, 303K, 313K and 323K. Thermodynamic parameter ΔH° = 4.80 kJ mol^?;1 shows that sorption of nickel ions onto sawdust is an endothermic process.     

Enhancement of biogas production from individually or co-digested green algae Cheatomorpha linum using ultrasound and ozonation treated biochar

This paper proposes the use of modified biochar, derived from Sawdust (SD) biomass using sonication (SSDB) and Ozonation (OSDB) processes, as an additive for biogas production from green algae Cheatomorpha linum (C. linum) either individually or co-digested with natural diet for rotifer culture (S. parkel). Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR), thermal-gravimetric (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were used to characterize the generated biochar. Ultrasound (US) specific energy, dose, intensity and dissolved ozone (O₃) concentration were also calculated. FTIR analyses proved the capability of US and ozonation treatment of biochar to enhance the biogas production process. The kinetic model proposed fits successfully with the data of the experimental work and the modified Gompertz models that had the maximum R² value of 0.993 for 150 mg/L of OSDB. The results of this work confirmed the significant impact of US and ozonation processes on the use of biochar as an additive in biogas production. The highest biogas outputs 1059 mL/g VS and 1054 mL/g VS) were achieved when 50 mg of SSDB and 150 mg of OSDB were added to C. linum co-digested with S. parkle.
