Calotropis procera fiber (CPF) is the fruit fiber of C. procera and belongs to a
typical cellulosic fiber. In this study, Calotropis procera fiber (CPF) was
first purified in the pretreatment process including delignification and
bleaching before the isolation of cellulose nanocrystal. Chemical composition of
Calotropis procera fiber was determined according to TAPPI standard method. It
was compos... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractA wide variety of biomass is available all around the world. Most of the
biomass exists as a by-product from manufacturing industries. Pulp and paper
mills contribute to a higher amount of these biomasses mostly discarded in the
landfills creating an environmental burden. Biomasses from other sources have
been used to produce different kinds and grades of biomaterials such as those
used in... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe global demand for sustainable energy is increasing due to
urbanization, industrialization, population, and developmental growth.
Transforming the large quantities of biomass resources such as
agro-residues/wastes could raise the energy supply and promote energy mix.
Residues of biomass instituted in the rural and industrial centers are enormous,
and poor management of these residues re... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractWaste generation tends to surge in quantum as the population and living
conditions grow. A group of structurally related chemicals of dibenzofurans and
dibenzo-p-dioxins including their chlorinated congeners collectively known as
dioxins are among the most lethal environmental pollutants formed during
different anthropogenic activities. Removal of dioxins from the environment is
challengin... hiện toàn bộ
