Effect of alkaline and autohydrolysis processes on the purity of obtained hemicelluloses from corn stalks
(Elsevier, 2012)
[EN]A study of the potential of autohydrolysis and alkaline extraction processes from corn stalks was performed
for high purity hemicellulose extraction. The influence of process parameters on the purity of
obtained ...
Direct lignin depolymerization process from sulfur-free black liquors
(Elsevier, 2019-09-03)
Agricultural residues (olive tree pruning and almond shell) were subjected to different delignification treatments (organosolv and soda) and the obtained liquors were treated in a high-pressure reactor at 300 °C for 80 min ...
Fermentable sugars recovery from grape stalks for bioethanol production
(Elsevier, 2013-07-02)
[EN]Three different processes were investigated for the recovery of fermentable sugars from grape stalks:
autohydrolysis at 121 ºC before and after a pre-washing step and acid hydrolysis (2% H2SO4 w/w) after a
pre-washing ...
Corncob arabinoxylan for new materials
(Elsevier, 2014-02)
[EN]tCorncob agricultural waste was used as a source of arabinoxylan for preparation of films. Three ara-binoxylan samples were prepared: crude extract (CCAX), purified by a washing step, and purified bybleaching CCAX. ...
Lignin-ester derivatives as novel thermoplastic materials
(RSC, 2016)
[EN] Spruce and eucalyptus lignins isolated by an organosolv process and lauroyl chloride were used as raw material for the synthesis of lignin-ester derivatives. The obtained products presented new and interesting properties ...
Multistage treatment of almonds waste biomass: characterization and assessment of the potential applications of raw material and products
(Elsevier, 2018-09-06)
Almond shells are waste biomass generated in agro-industrial activities, which represent a resource that can be further valorized upon treatment. The purpose of this work was to assess new value-added products obtained ...
Modification of Eucalyptus and Spruce organosolv lignins with fatty acids to use as filler in PLA
(2016-05-09)
Spruce (softwood) and Eucalyptus (hardwood) woods were used as raw material for lignin extraction by
organosolv process. Chemical, structural and thermal characterizations of the extracted lignin samples have
been performed ...
Lignin oxidation and depolymerisation in ionic liquids
(RSC, 2015-09)
The depolymerisation of lignin directly in the black liquor was studied, comparing two ionic liquids as extracting solvents (butylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate and triethylammonium hydrogen sulphate), under oxidising ...
Liquefaction of Kraft lignin using polyhydric alcohols and organic acids as catalysts for sustainable polyols production
(Elsevier, 2019)
[EN]In this work, three different organic acid catalysts, (acetic acid, lactic acid and citric acid), are proposed as an
alternative to common catalysts used in the liquefaction process of Kraft lignin. These organic acids ...
Kraft lignin as filler in PLA to improve ductility and thermal properties
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
[EN] Kraft lignin (KL) and acetylated Kraft lignin (AKL) were used as filler for the elaboration of composites
with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 20%) by extrusion method at
200 ...
