High performance green barriers based on nanocellulose
- 2014
Sandeep S. Nair, Jiaqing Zhu, Yulin Deng, Arthur J. Ragauskas
Abstract With the increasing environmental concerns such as sustainability and end-of-life disposal challenges, materials derived from renewable resources such as nanocellulose have been strongly advocated as potential replacements for packaging materials. Nanocellulose can be extracted from various plant resources through mechanical and chemical ways. Na...... hiện toàn bộ
Recent developments in maleic acid synthesis from bio-based chemicals

The use of combination of zeolites to pursue integrated refined pyrolysis oil from kraft lignin
- 2014
Fang Huang, Haoxi Ben, Shaobo Pan, Yunqiao Pu, Arthur Ragauskas
A mixture of Y and M type zeolites were applied to pyrolyze kraft softwood (SW) lignin with the objective of studying the combination effect of different types of zeolite on pyrolysis. The chemical structures of the subsequent pyrolysis oils were examined. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy including 13C, 31P of phosphitylated bio-oils, Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation (HSQC)-NM...... hiện toàn bộ
Photocatalytic effect of TiO2and the effect of dopants on degradation of brilliant green
Tập 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2013
Shamalah Munusamy, Rangabhatla sai laxmi Aparna, Rangabhatla gunneswara subramanya vara Prasad
Photocatalysis speeds up the photoreaction in the presence of a catalyst. TiO2 has low toxicity, less resistance and less corrosion and has semiconductor properties. Its strong oxidative potential of the positive holes oxidizes water to create hydroxyl radicals. Moreover, TiO2 has been proven to be a tremendous photocatalyst compound by which many organic substrates have been shown to be oxidative...... hiện toàn bộ
Green chemistry and the biorefinery concept
Tập 1 - Trang 1-3 - 2013
Ana RC Morais, Rafal Bogel-Lukasik
Green Chemistry and Biorefinery concepts are two approaches helping to develop new and more sustainable processes. The implementation of both methodologies impels to fossil-independent future with bioeconomy based on natural feedstock like biowaste and industrial by-products. The development of technologies for valorisation of these resources is a key role of society in the creation of sustainable...... hiện toàn bộ
Nano-catalysts with magnetic core: sustainable options for greener synthesis
Tập 2 - Trang 1-8 - 2014
Rajender S Varma
Author’s perspective on nano-catalysts with magnetic core is summarized with recent work from his laboratory. Magnetically recyclable nano-catalysts and their use in benign media is an ideal blend for the development of sustainable methodologies in organic synthesis. Water or polyethylene glycol (PEG) provides good medium to perform such chemical reactions with magnetic nano-catalysts, as this com...... hiện toàn bộ
Microwave assisted chemical pretreatment of Miscanthus under different temperature regimes
Tập 3 - Trang 1-13 - 2015
Zongyuan Zhu, Duncan J. Macquarrie, Rachael Simister, Leonardo D. Gomez, Simon J. McQueen-Mason
Miscanthus is a major bioenergy crop in Europe and a potential feedstock for second generation biofuels. The most efficient and realistic method to produce fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic biomass is by enzymatic hydrolysis, assisted by thermo-chemical pretreatment. Recently, microwave technology has drawn growing attention, because of its unique effects and perf...... hiện toàn bộ
Recent advances in enzyme promiscuity
Tập 4 - Trang 1-7 - 2016
Rinkoo Devi Gupta
Enzyme promiscuity is defined as the capability of an enzyme to catalyze a reaction other than the reaction for which it has been specialized. Although, enzyme is known for its specificity, many enzymes are reported to be promiscuous in nature. However, the promiscuous function may not be relevant in physiological conditions. The reasons could be either very low level of catalytic activity or unav...... hiện toàn bộ
The biochemistry behind biopesticide efficacy
Tập 2 - Trang 1-8 - 2014
Michelle Hubbard, Russell K Hynes, Martin Erlandson, Karen L Bailey
Biopesticides have the potential to play an important role in sustainable, environmentally safe pest control. A diverse range of biopesticides employ chemical modes of action. This review explores three such biopesticides: a fungus used in weed control, beneficial bacteria controlling fungal and bacterial disease and a virus active against insect pests. Through these case studies, we demonstrate t...... hiện toàn bộ
