Abstract

Sawdust or wood shaving is a relatively abundant and inexpensive lignocellulosic compound, which is provided by mother nature. It is a waste of industry and agriculture, that is found in large quantities and has disposal problems. Nowadays, waste management (like sawdust) and research on converting it to different compounds for special applications and goals have been receiving tremendous attention. So, introducing sawdust as a kind of interesting bio-waste and turn it into wealth for diverse utilizations can be mentioned as the main goal of this overview. In this regard, in the first part, sawdust structure and properties are considered. It is then followed by highlighting its wide applications in sustainable water remediation technology, production of activated carbon, oil-water separation, and high-performance composites fabrication. Please come on to start a journey on this motivating topic.
