The production of antioxidant additives via the hydrothermal treatment of lignin from argan shells (agricultural waste) was evaluated in the current study. Specifically, the effect of using a Ni catalyst supported on activated carbon which had been prepared from the same waste (argan shells), has been studied. Adding activated carbon (without Ni load) to the reaction medium slightly improved the additives' production, while no significant effect on its antioxidant activity was observed.
In this work, the production of antioxidant additives via hydrothermal treatment of lignin from argan nutshells (agricultural waste) was evaluated. Specifically, the effect of using a catalyst supported on activated carbon which had been prepared from the same waste (argan nutshells) has been studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
