This review aims to show the significance of the use of secondary carbon bio-carriers for iron
and steel production. The term 'secondary carbon bio-carriers' in this review paper refers to …

Coalbed methane (CBM) has great environmental and economic values in addition to its
energy content. For years natural gas has been considered a transitional cleaner energy …

Activated carbons (ACs) have desirable characteristics that make them attractive for many
industrial applications. In order to reduce their production cost, there is always a need to find …

Blended fuels of run-of-mine (ROM) coal and untreated rice straw (RS) have not yet been
used for fuel applications due to their poor fuel performance and the release of pollutants …

Anthracite-derived carbon is regarded as a promising anode material for sodium-ion
batteries due to the advantages of high cost effectiveness and considerable sodium storage …

This study explores the extraction of rare earth elements (REEs) from high-ash run-of-mine
and discard coal sourced from the Waterberg Coalfield. Three distinct methods were …

The wear and corrosion issues commonly occurring in coal production and processing and
applications of advanced ceramics and coatings to combat these issues are reviewed. The …

Slow pyrolysis is a promising technology to convert sewage sludge into char: a stable solid
product with high carbon and phosphorus content. However, due to its heavy metals content …

In the face of environmental challenges (eg, dramatically increasing greenhouse gas
emissions and climate change), it is utmost of importance to sustainable energy systems …

Renewable reductants are intended to significantly reduce CO 2 emissions from ferro-alloy
production, eg, by up to 80% in 2050 in Norway. However, charcoals provide inferior …
