Recent years have seen explosive growth in research concerning the use of cellulosic
materials, either in their as-recieved state or as modified products, for the removal of heavy …

This study investigates the dual role of copper ions in catalysis and complexation during the
oxidation of lignosulfonates with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) under alkaline conditions. The …

The interactions of bioactive ferulic acid with fumed silica were studied by UV/vis
spectroscopy, FT-IR, TPD MS techniques and quantum chemical methods. It was found that …

Iron chelating agents have important roles to play, both in human physiology and in the
environment. In the latter case, persistence in the environment has given cause for concern …

The sorption of copper (II) by wheat straw cell wall residue (CWR) was studied and revealed
a relatively stable surface complexation on the acid sites of the substrate (carboxylic and …

The global generation of bauxite residue necessitates environmentally responsible disposal
strategies. This study investigated the long-term (5-year) behavior of bauxite residue whose …

The physico-chemical properties of ferulic acid (FA) and its inclusion compounds with the γ-
cyclodextrin (γ-CD) have been studied at 25° C in aqueous solution (0.15 M NaCl) by …

Lignin is currently an underutilized part of biomass; thus, further research into lignin could
benefit both scientific and commercial endeavors. The present study investigated the …

Adsorption of cinnamic, caffeic, and ferulic acids on the surface of highly dispersed silica
from aqueous solutions is studied. The dependence of the structure of adsorption complexes …

Electrolysis experiments were carried out with wheat straw soda black liquor with stainless
steel (SS) electrodes. Electroactive lignin anions were found to form complex with the iron in …
