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 …

Metals in the environment arise from natural sources or directly or indirectly from human
activities such as rapid industrialization, urbanization, and anthropogenic sources …

Exploring inexpensive, effective, and robust multifunctional catalysts for simultaneously
catalyzing oxygen reductive reduction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and …

Biocompatible hydrogels were prepared by mixing aqueous-acidic solution of chitosan with
alkali lignin, a major by-product of the paper producing industries, for the first time, by …

Demethylation of guaiacyl-type synthetic lignin (GDHP) with three different reagents, 1-
dodecanethiol (DSH), hydroiodic acid (HI), and iodocyclohexane (ICH), was investigated as …

Due to its nature and structure, lignin is a very difficult polymer to electrospin without any
additives as only a few studies reported on the successful electrospinning of lignins in …

The speciation of iron (III) in oxic seawater is dominated by its hydrolysis and sedimentation
of insoluble iron (III)-oxyhydroxide. As a consequence, many oceanic areas have very low …

Organosolv processes provide access to less degraded and higher purity lignins. However,
these are rarely applied to softwood species with high lignin contents and complex …

Due to the shortage of phosphorus (P) resources, thermal treatment serves as an efficient
sludge management method, both enabling sludge reduction and P recovery. Although …

Natural organic matter (NOM) has been studied for more than 200 years because of its
importance in enhancing soil fertility, soil structure, and water-holding capacity and as a …
