Mechanisms and adsorption capacities of biochar for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from industrial wastewater
Teklit Gebregiorgis Ambaye,Teklit Gebregiorgis Ambaye,Mentore Vaccari,E.D. van Hullebusch,Abdeltif Amrane,Sami Rtimi +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the recent applications of biochar in removing organic and inorganic pollutants present in industrial effluents and discuss the possible optimizations (such as the pyrolysis temperature, solution pH) allowing the increase of the adsorption capabilities of bio-char leading to organic contaminants removal.
Ultra-high color rendering warm-white light-emitting diodes based on an efficient green-emitting garnet phosphor for solid-state lighting
TL;DR: In this paper, a green-emitting phosphor based on Ce3+/Tb3+ ions co-activated Ca2GdHf2Al3O12 (abbreviated as: CGHAO) garnet compound enabled the realization of ultra-high color rendering warm-white LEDs.

Emerging technologies for biofuel production: A critical review on recent progress, challenges and perspectives.
Teklit Gebregiorgis Ambaye,Mentore Vaccari,Adrian Bonilla-Petriciolet,Shiv Prasad,Eric D. van Hullebusch,Sami Rtimi +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the biofuel production potential and challenges related to various feedstocks and advances in process technologies is presented, and it has been concluded that the biofuels such as biodiesel, ethanol, bio-oil, syngas, Fischer-Tropsch H2, and methane produced from crop plant residues, micro- and macroalgae and other biomass wastes using thermo-bio-chemical processes are an eco-friendly route for an energy source.
