Concerns about the depletion of wood resources and the environmental impact of
increasing demand for paper goods have led to the quest for alternate sources of fiber for …

In this study, the physicochemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of films made from
cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) obtained from two sources–wood and tunicate-and their …

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) extracted from empty fruit bunches (EFB), stalk and spikelet
were characterised through physicochemical and microstructure analyses. Raw stalk fibres …

Eco-friendly pretreatment methods for lignocellulosic biomass are being developed as
alternatives to chemical based methods. Superheated steam (SHS), hot compressed water …

This study focuses on the characteristics of cellulose extracts from different oil palm biomass
namely oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF), oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) and oil palm …

Biobased products are a growing trend in industrial crops, but the natural variation among
the plant sources demands the development of efficient pretreatments for standardizing the …

Both the aquatic ecosystem and human health are at risk from radioactive elements like
uranium (VI)(U (VI)) and thorium (IV)(Th (IV)). Therefore, their elimination and removal from …

Pineapple agro-waste, the residue produced during harvesting or processing activities, is
widely available around the world. After harvesting, most pineapple residue is disposed of …

Ozonolysis is potentially an effective method for pretreating lignocellulosic biomass to
improve the production of fermentable sugars via enzymatic hydrolysis. The eliminated …

The current extraction of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) from wood has created competition
with wood industries. Interest in alternative sources is critical to ensure the sustainable …
