The effects of temperatures on suspension magnetization roasting of hematite using biomass waste for evolved gases have been investigated using TG-FTIR, Py-GC/MS and gas composition analyzer. The mixture reduction process is divided into four stages. In the temperature range of 200–450 °C for mixture, the release of CO<sub>2</sub>, acids, and ketones is dominated in gases products. The yield and concentration of small molecules reducing gases increase when the temperature increases from 450 to 900 °C. At 700 °C, the volume concentrations of CO, H<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> peak at 8.91%, 8.90% and 4.91%, respectively. During the suspension magnetization roasting process, an optimal iron concentrate with an iron grade of 70.86%, a recovery of 98.66% and a magnetic conversion of 45.70% is obtained at 700 °. Therefore, the magnetization reduction could react greatly in the temperature range of 600 to 700 °C owing to the suitable reducing gases.

Compared to the previous studies (which considered only outside buildings), this work considers the effects of trees on microclimate change both inside/outside buildings. Effects of different parameters including the leaf area density and number of trees, number of rows, far-field velocity magnitude, and thermal condition around the main building are assessed. The results show that the flow velocity in the spacing between the first-row buildings is reduced by 30%–40% when the one-row trees with 2 m height are planted 15 m farther than the buildings. Furthermore, two rows of trees are more effective in higher velocities and reduce the maximum velocity by about 50%.
