Peat, also known as turf, is an accumulation of organic matter or decayed vegetation that is found in natural areas such as mires or peatlands. Soils that contain significant amount of peat are referred to as a histosol. It is generally formed in wetland temperatures, where flooding slows down the rates of decomposition by obstructing the flow of oxygen from the atmosphere. Peat is harvested as a vital source of fuel in different regions of the world. Different types of peat materials such as sapric, hemic and fibric are majorly consumed in agriculture, freshwater aquaria, water filtration, and generating electricity.

Landfill Gas (LFG) is obtained as a byproduct of microbiological decomposition of land-filled garbage. Bugs present inside the earth's crust turns complex organic compounds into carbon dioxide, methane and smaller traces of other compounds. LFG majorly contains 40%-45% carbon dioxide (CO2) and 50%-55% methane (CH4). The balance is made up of hundreds of other compounds such as oxygen and nitrogen. About 0.2% to 0.5% of LFG is composed of complex organic compounds that were never degraded by the bugs. A small % of LFG is composed hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur compounds. The remaining compounds in the gas could be just about anything, depending on the garbage and profile the climate. The exact composition of landfill gas is different to each and every location.

The global market for advanced energy storage systems consists of wide range of technologies at different maturity levels. The landscape of market comprises of companies from start-ups to multinational companies and due to varied technological spectrum, the contraction or expansion of the global advanced energy storage market is affected by the impacts of country's policies and economic situations. According to the International Energy Outlook 2013, the world energy consumption will grow by 56% between 2010 and 2040. This growth in demand for electricity has to be matched with increased generation capacity and changing demand peaks, thereby making energy storage essential criteria in the entire energy system. Also, the energy conservation policies are shifting the interest from fossil energy to alternative energy which will further augment the market for advanced energy storage system.

The dialysis products and services market is a multi-billion dollar business, which has managed to propel its growth engine in the last few years. Dialysis is a procedure that is performed to remove excess water and waste from the blood, mainly in cases of renal failure. It is also performed on patients with severe kidney disorders or chronic kidney disease. The increasing population of patient having end stage renal disorders, and the growth in use of dialysis for their treatment are the main drivers for the growth in dialysis products and services market.

Fluorspar is the commercial name for the mineral fluorite (calcium fluoride CaF2). Commercially fluorspar is graded according to quality and attributes into acid grade, ceramic grade and metallurgical grade. It generally develops well formed cubic crystals exhibiting a wide range of colors. The end use is determined by the grade of the fluorspar. Almost two thirds of the world's production of fluorspar is used for the manufacturing of hydrofluoric acid (HF). Hydrofluoric acid is used as a feedstock for the manufacturing of fluorine containing compounds like fluoropolymers and fluorocarbons. Fluorspar is also used as a flux in the steel making and in the production of aluminum while a small proportion is used in the production of opaque glasses and enamels.

Orthopedic biomaterials are organic or synthetic materials of biologic composition used for internal fixation of fracture. Biomaterial devices which are manufactured for large number of orthopedic applications are commonly termed as 'Implants'. These biomaterials help in re-establishing the structural integrity of the damaged bone due to trauma or diseased conditions. Biocompatibility of the material is the primary factor to be considered before its usage in orthopedic applications. Other characteristics on which the success of biomaterials in biological applications depends on the choice of material for its construction, appropriate design, stability and various properties like hardness and tensile strength and their interaction with soft and hard tissues and intra and extracellular fluids of the human body and blood.

The automotive industry is committed creating a generation of vehicles that offers superior fuel efficiency without compromising safety, performance, or comfort. Aluminum offers automakers the opportunity to design and manufacture safe, high-performance, energy-efficient, corrosion resistance and environmentally friendly vehicles that are much lighter in weight. In addition to taking advantage of the lighter mass of aluminum compared to steel for the body of the vehicle, further weight reduction is possible through secondary weight savings in the engine, transmission, brakes, wheels, tires, fuel tank, and other systems.
