Production of Cellulosic Pulp from Reed (Phragmites australis) to Produce Paper and Paperboard
(Science Publishing Group, 2017)
Due to the global increase in the demand for paper and cardboard, and depletion in some areas of wood resources
(main raw material in the paper industry), it has been necessary to investigate new raw materials to substitute ...
Biorefinery Process Combining Specel® Process and Selective Lignin Precipitation using Mineral Acids
(NC State University, 2016)
Soda black liquors from the Specel® process, which used wheat straw as the raw material, were subjected to an acid precipitation process to recover the lignin. Lignin was isolated by acid precipitation using three different ...
Nanocellulose-Based Inks—Effect of Alginate Content on the Water Absorption of 3D Printed Constructs
(MDPI, 2019)
2,2,6,6-tetramethylpyperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were used as ink for three-dimensional (3D) printing of porous structures with potential as wound dressings. Alginate (10, 20, 30 and 40 ...
Cellulose Nanofibers and Other Biopolymers for Biomedical Applications. A Review
(MDPI, 2019)
Biopolymers are materials synthesised or derived from natural sources, such as plants, animals, microorganisms or any other living organism. The use of these polymers has grown significantly in recent years as industry ...
Horticultural Plant Residues as New Source for Lignocellulose Nanofibers Isolation: Application on the Recycling Paperboard Process
(MDPI, 2020)
Horticultural plant residues (tomato, pepper, and eggplant) were identified as new sources for lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNF). Cellulosic pulp was obtained from the different plant residues using an environmentally ...
Valorization of Hemp Core Residues: Impact of NaOH Treatment on the Flexural Strength of PP Composites and Intrinsic Flexural Strength of Hemp Core Fibers
(MDPI, 2020)
Hemp core is a lignocellulosic residue in the production chain of hemp strands. Huge amounts of hemp core are gathered annually in Europe (43,000 tons) with no major application end. Such lignocellulosic wastes have potential ...
Isolation and Characterization of Gramineae and Fabaceae Soda Lignins
(MDPI, 2017)
Some agricultural residues such as wheat or barley straw, as well as certain fast-growing
plants like Leucaena leucocephala and Chamaecytisus proliferus, could be used as raw materials for
the paper industry as an ...
Lignin: A Biopolymer from Forestry Biomass for Biocomposites and 3D Printing
(MDPI, 2019)
Biopolymers from forestry biomass are promising for the sustainable development of new biobased materials. As such, lignin and fiber-based biocomposites are plausible renewable alternatives to petrochemical-based products. ...
Desarrollo de lecciones sobre reactores químicos y biológicos en la plataforma Moodle
(UCOPress, 2018)
En este proyecto docente se han desarrollado una serie de actividades académicamente dirigidas dedicadas a los reactores químicos y biológicos, en concreto, se ha empleado una herramienta denominada lección que se encuentra ...
Production of Cellulose Nanofibers from Olive Tree Harvest—a Residue with Wide Applications
(MDPI, 2020)
With the aim of identifying new sources to produce cellulose nanofibers, olive tree pruning biomass (OTPB) was proposed for valorization as a sustainable source of cellulose. OTPB was subjected to a soda pulping process ...
