“…Fibre hemp may yield up to 25 t above ground dry matter per ha (20 t stem dry matter per ha) which may contain maximum 12 t/ha of cellulose, depending on the genetics (e.g. varieties), cultivation practices, climate and environmental conditions (Bouloc 2013;Ingrao et al 2015). Hemp also leaves an excellent quality, weed-free soil at the end of each season.…”

Nowadays, the material recycling is a growing trend in development of building materials and therefore using of secondary raw materials for production new building materials is in accordance with sustainable development in civil engineering. Therefore, it is increasingly becoming crucial to accelerate the transition from application of non-renewable sources of raw materials to renewable raw materials. One fast renewable resource is natural plant fibers. The use of the cellulosic fibers as environmentally friendly material in building products contributes to the environmental protection and saves non-renewable resources of raw materials. Wood fibers and recycled cellulose fibers of waste paper appear as suited reinforcing elements for cement-based materials. In this paper, there is used application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) on cellulose fibers coming from different sources. FTIR spectra of cellulose fiber samples are investigated and compared with reference sample of cellulose.

“…The last decade has also shown an explosion in the development of new adsorbents produced from plant‐based sources such as hemp. Hemp, Cannabis sativa L ., is an annual high yielding crop grown for its fibers and seeds, which find numerous applications . Its uses are indeed manifold: construction materials, textiles, paper, food and beverages, automotive sector, furniture, luxury market, cosmetics and personal care items, and so forth.…”

Two hemp‐based materials were used as nonconventional adsorbents for the final treatment of industrial discharge waters (DWs) from a metal‐finishing plant. The first adsorbent, referred as HEMP, was a felt made of 100% hemp fiber. The second was the same felt coated with a maltodextrin‐1,2,3,4‐butanetetracarboxylic crosslinked polymer (HEMPM) in order to provide ion‐exchange properties to the material by introducing carboxylic groups. The batch experiments showed that both materials exhibited high adsorption capacities toward metal ions present in 12 DWs, leading to concentrations well below those allowed by the French regulation. Measurements of the germination rate of Lactuca sativa seeds and of mobility inhibition of Daphnia magna, used as ecotoxicological tests, were carried out on DWs before and after hemp treatment. The average germination rate before and after treatment were 47.2 ± 4.1 for untreated DWs, 71.2 ± 6.3 for DWs treated by HEMP, and 89.3 ± 4.7 for DWs treated by HEMPM. The EC50 values for four DWs were between 2.1 and 10.4% of DW, indicating high toxicity. After HEMPM treatment, exposure to the DW for 24 h did not cause immobilization (EC50 > 90%). © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020, 137, 48823.
