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.

锯末或刨花是一种相对丰富且廉价的木质纤维素化合物，由大自然提供。它是工业和农业的浪费，大量发现并存在处理问题。如今，废物管理（如锯末）和将其转化为不同化合物以用于特殊应用和目标的研究受到了极大的关注。因此，介绍木屑作为一种有趣的生物废物并将其转化为财富以进行多种用途可以作为本概述的主要目标。在这方面，在第一部分中，考虑了锯末的结构和性能。然后重点介绍其在可持续水修复技术、活性炭生产、油水分离和高性能复合材料制造方面的广泛应用。
