Functional Chitosan Derivative and Chitin as Decolorization Materials for Methylene Blue and Methyl Orange from Aqueous Solution
(MDPI, 2019-02-01)
Dyes are classified as one of the major pollutants of water. They have negative impacts not only on environment but also on human health. In fact, wastewater that contains these harmful substances requires many types of ...
Effect of the Chemical Composition of Free-Terpene Hydrocarbons Essential Oils on Antifungal Activity
(MDPI, 2019-09-19)
In this study, Carum carvi L. essential oil (CEO) and Origanum majorana L. essential oil (MEO) was steam-distillated under reduced pressure. We henceforth obtained three fractions for each essential oil: CF1, CF2, CF3, ...
Assessment of green approaches for the synthesis of physically crosslinked lignin hydrogels
(Elsevier, 2019-09-28)
Lignin is an excellent candidate to be used as a starting material for hydrogel synthesis due to its highly functional character. The exhaustible character of the fossil resources linked to the increase of plastic residues ...
Characterisation of bark of six species from mixed Atlantic forest
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
[EN] Bark is one of the most available by-product derived from the wood-base industry because of the total volume of the tree that comprised. This study aimed at evaluating the chemical composition of barks of six typical ...
Direct lignin depolymerization process from sulfur-free black liquors
(Elsevier, 2019-09-03)
Agricultural residues (olive tree pruning and almond shell) were subjected to different delignification treatments (organosolv and soda) and the obtained liquors were treated in a high-pressure reactor at 300 °C for 80 min ...
Liquefaction of Kraft lignin using polyhydric alcohols and organic acids as catalysts for sustainable polyols production
(Elsevier, 2019)
[EN]In this work, three different organic acid catalysts, (acetic acid, lactic acid and citric acid), are proposed as an
alternative to common catalysts used in the liquefaction process of Kraft lignin. These organic acids ...
