Economic feasibility of using agricultural wastes for catalyst development

Olayomi Abiodun Falowo* and Babatunde Oladipo

Published: 24 March, 2023 | Volume 7 - Issue 1 | Pages: 004-006

Resource recovery provides an opportunity to transform limited and abundant materials in form of waste into biobased products. In the production system, this technique could offer an economic means to utilize wastes to generate valuable products which are fundamental to a sustainable economy.
