Modification of Pea Starch and Dextrin Polymers with Isocyanate Functional Groups
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Pea starch and dextrin polymers were modified through the unequal reactivity of isocyanate groups in isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) monomer. The presence of both urethane and isocyanate functionalities in starch and dextrin ...
Characterization of glucose-crosslinked gelatin films reinforced with chitin nanowhiskers for active packaging development
(Elsevier, 2022-01-15)
[EN] To find renewable and sustainable alternatives to reduce the severe environmental impact of single-use synthetic plastic packaging, glucose-crosslinked gelatin films containing different amounts of chitin nanowhiskers ...
Impact of the Addition of Pyrolysed Forestry Waste to the Coking Process on the Resulting Green Biocoke
(MDPI, 2021-04-09)
The suitability of the charcoal obtained from woody biomass pyrolysis in a continuous screw reactor at 573, 773, 973, 1173 K temperature profile as fuel and reducing agent in metallurgical applications has been evaluated, ...
Optimization of Charcoal Production Process from Woody Biomass Waste: Effect of Ni-Containing Catalysts on Pyrolysis Vapors
(MDPI, 2018-05)
Woody biomass waste (Pinus radiata) coming from forestry activities has been pyrolyzed with the aim of obtaining charcoal and, at the same time, a hydrogen-rich gas fraction. The pyrolysis has been carried out in a laboratory ...
Thermo-Catalytic Treatment of Vapors in the Recycling Process of Carbon Fiber-Poly (Benzoxazine) Composite Waste by Pyrolysis
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Recycling carbon fiber from residual carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is one of the key aspects of the future in the field of waste management. This work presents the possibility of recovering chemical compounds ...
Use of a Reforming Catalyst for Hydrogen Production in the Carbonization Process of Torrefied Biomass
(MDPI, 2020-11-10)
The utilization of charcoal from woody biomass is an efficient way to reduce CO2 emissions from the metallurgical industry. The main aim of this work is to study the charcoal production process from torrefied biomass. For ...
Oil Production by Pyrolysis of Real Plastic Waste
(MDPI, 2022-01-29)
The aim of this paper is for the production of oils processed in refineries to come from the pyrolysis of real waste from the high plastic content rejected by the recycling industry of the Basque Country (Spain). Concretely, ...
Biomass Pyrolysis Solids as Reducing Agents: Comparison with Commercial Reducing Agents
(MDPI, 2016-01)
Biomass is one of the most suitable options to be used as renewable energy source due to its extensive availability and its contribution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass under ...
Characterization of Wood‑based Industrial Biorefinery Lignosulfonates and Supercritical Water Hydrolysis Lignin
(Springer, 2020-11)
Understanding the properties of any particular biorefinery or pulping residue lignin is crucial when choosing the right lignin for the right end use. In this paper, three different residual lignin types [supercritical water ...
Polyurethane Wood Adhesives Prepared from Modified Polysaccharides
(MDPI, 2022-01-28)
This study investigated the performance of polyurethane adhesives prepared with various combinations of wheat starch that had been modified by isophorone diisocyanate (MS), two polyol types (1,3-propanediol (PD) and glycerol ...
