The Mamuju region in West Sulawesi, Indonesia, is a High Background Natural Radiation Area (HBNRA) characterized by a significant enrichment of high field strength elements (HFSEs) and rare earth elements (REEs) within its lateritic deposits. This st...

Wastes resulting from the depulping of tropical fruits such as siriguela (Spondias purpurea), umbu (Spondias tuberosa), and juçara (Euterpe edulis) can be used as a source of bioactive compounds and nutrients. Therefore, the aim of this work w...

Considerable amounts of agro-industrial by-products are discarded every year. Moreover, these represent an interesting source of phenolics, cellulose and lignin, in addition to useful compounds such as antioxidants. However, these compounds may be af...

In Tunisia, the agricultural sector faces multiple challenges that affect both productivity and farmers’ livelihoods. Although agroecology is increasingly recognized as a pathway to sustainable agriculture, the extent of its adoption by farmers...

Shale gas is a clean and effective energy source that plays a big part in the transition from high-carbon to low-carbon energy, serving as a link for the growth of low-carbon energy in the future. Since shale rock is a heterogeneous porous material,...

This article presents the value-added production-sharing contract (VAPSC), an extension of traditional production-sharing contracts (PSCs), which encompasses raw materials production, subsequent processing, and the final ‘sharing’ of good...

Chuño is a traditional Andean product obtained by freezing, thawing, and drying potatoes. This study aimed to assess how different Andean potato varieties (Chihuanki Negro [C], Puka Huayro Machu [P], and Yana Huayro Machu [Y]) and freezing tem...

Water conservation (WC) is a vital ecosystem service (ES) that plays an essential role in the sustainable management of water resources and ensures ecological security. This research examines the WC capacity of the Citarum watershed in West Java Prov...

(1) Grape stalks and aquafaba (Aq) from chickpeas are promising agricultural byproducts with potential applications in the development of sustainable biocomposite materials due to their ligno-cellulose and protein content. (2) This study aimed to eva...

This work aimed to conduct a kinetic study of cotton stalks (CSs) through TGA to examine the impact of reaction conditions on bio-oil yield derived from CS slow pyrolysis using a tube furnace lab-scale reactor, as well as a characterization of bio-oi...
