Three size classes of Capitella capitata (Type I ) were fed 4 size ranges of detritus particles derived from red seaweed Gracilaria foliifera. Growth was generally reduced when only the largest particle-size range (150 to 250 pm) was available, and the effect was most pronounced for small worms. Worms lost weight when fed fecal pellets comparable in size to the largest particles of seaweed detr...

Abstract Buckwheat husks are a valuable source of carbon and show the potential to be used as an energy source. However, due low bulk density susceptibility compaction, it is beneficial use them in form co-pellets. The study presents comprehensive research detailing buckwheat husks’ for co-pelletization with oily (peanut husks) dusty (senna leaves) agri-food wastes, whereas effect material para...

Abstract The Hayabusa2 spacecraft succeeded in sampling and returning materials from the C-type, near-Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu. As part of Initial Analyses, chemical isotopic compositions volatile species were measured. samples analyzed grains about 1 mm diameter individually treated without exposure to Earth’s atmosphere throughout entire analytical/experimental processes minimize alterat...

Oxidative torrefaction of sawdust with a carrier gas containing 3-6% O(2) was investigated in a TG and a fluidized bed reactor, with the properties of the torrefied sawdust and pellets compared with traditional torrefaction without any O(2), as well as the dry raw material. It is found that the oxidative torrefaction process produced torrefied sawdust and pellets of similar properties as normal...
