Crosslinked lignin-starch polymers with alternative applications
(2023)Lignin is a complex biopolymer obtained as a by-product from the delignification of wood and grasses. Starch is also a natural polymer of amylose and amylopectin found in many plants, featuring a relatively simple structure ... -
Kinetic and thermodynamic studies on pyrolysis of waste HDPE polymers
(2017)Pyrolysis is a promising technology for converting waste plastic into high-value hydrocarbons, which can help to protect the environment and improve the waste management industry. Available methods for finding kinetic ... -
Lignin-based flocculant and dispersant for wastewater treatment
(2018)The wastewaters produced from different industries contain fine and charged suspended particles and other impurities. Today, the removal of these colloidal particles from the wastewater has become a serious challenge for ... -
New generation of dispersants by grafting lignin or xylan
(2017)Synthetic dispersants are commonly used in the stabilization of various colloidal suspensions. However, their non-biodegradable and toxic natures hamper their industrial use. The use of natural polymers as dispersants for ... -
Performance and emissions of diesel engines fueled by expanded polystyrene-infused biodiesel with additives
(2018)Environmental issues and conventional fossil resource depletion has directed the attention of researchers to seek clean or alternative fuels. Biodiesel was introduced as an answer to day-to-day increases in diesel consumption ... -
Tall oil production process and characterization
(2017)Existing kraft pulp mills have seen the necessity to branch out from traditional pulp and paper products to alternative value-added products such as bioenergy and biomaterials as a result of increasing competition in the ...
