Perspective of Agriculture Wastes Usage as a Resource

Abstract:

Investigations and phisibilty studies on using agriculture wastes as a resource for producing energy and materials is regarded insufficient and unsatisfactory. Nonetheless, the utilization of the agriculture solid wastes is suggested a viable solution to reduce pollution and to bring economical benefits. This review study emphasis on the importance of conducting experimental characterization in order to determine which application is suitable for determined waste material. These characterizations could suggest the necessary treatments or methods required to make these materials more efficient as a resource for energy and materials applications. This tailoring may enable researcher to optimize both costs and technical performances of agriculture solid waste as a resource for different application.
