“…Meanwhile, the char residue weight for C-pulp is 8.4%, for B-pulp is 9.4%, and for MCC is 6.9%. Among the three samples, the char residue is the lowest in MCC, which indicates the high purity of the cellulose in MCC [ 37 ]. The high residual weight of C-pulp was mainly due to presence of flame retardation compounds that result in char formation [ 38 , 39 ].…”

Bamboo fibers are utilized for the production of various structures, building materials, etc. and is of great significance all over the world especially in southeast Asia. In this study, the extraction of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was performed using bamboo fibers through acid hydrolysis and subsequently different characterizations were carried out using various advanced techniques. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis has indicated the removal of lignin from MCC extracted from bamboo pulp. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed rough surface and minor agglomeration of the MCC. Pure MCC, albeit with small quantities of impurities and residues, was obtained, as revealed by Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates the increase in crystallinity from 62.5% to 82.6%. Furthermore, the isolated MCC has slightly higher crystallinity compared to commercial available MCC (74%). The results of thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrate better thermal stability of isolated MCC compared to its starting material (Bamboo fibers). Thus, the isolated MCC might be used as a reinforcing element for the production of green composites and it can also be utilized as a starting material for the production of crystalline nanocellulose in future.

“…Discharging chlorophenols into aquatic environment represent a noteworthy source of environmental pollution. Adsorption (Afidah and Garba 2016;Alizadeh et al 2017;Afidah 2015, 2016;Hussin et al 2016;Madannejad et al 2018), catalytic wet oxidation (Chaliha and Bhattacharyya 2008), biodegradation (Steinle et al 2000), ozonation and electrochemical degradation (Lim et al 2013) and reverse osmosis (Gogoi et al 2018) are just few of the several treatment methods engaged for the chlorophenols removal from wastewater with adsorption being the most active and efficient among them (Garba and Afidah 2016;Garba et al 2015a). Popularity of adsorption method is related to its simplicity in design, ability to remove high amount of contaminants as well as swift adsorption kinetics with the most widely used adsorbent being activated carbon (Lee et al 2015;Lladó et al 2015).…”

The possibility of utilizing Canarium schweinfurthii seed shell (CSSS) as a precursor to optimally produce activated carbon was harnessed by physico-chemical activation. Carbon (IV) oxide (CO 2) and potassium acetate (CH 3 COOK) were employed as physical and chemical activating agents, respectively. Its ability as an effective adsorbent was tested on aqueous solution by removing 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP). Central composite design was employed for the optimization giving rise to activation temperature of 670 °C, activation time of 100 min and impregnation ratio of 2.43. The optimal adsorbent (CSSS-AC) can be classified as mesoporous with surface area of 925.77 m 2 g −1 and maximum adsorption capacity of 247.23 mg g −1. Higher amount of 2,4,6-TCP was removed at low pH with Freundlich and pseudo-second-order models found to be the most appropriate isotherm and kinetic model, respectively, in describing the adsorption process. The results reveal that C. schweinfurthii seed shell could be recommended as a promising novel precursor for producing activated carbons with high surface area and potentially desirable 2,4,6-TCP removal capacity, using CH 3 COOK as an effective activating agent.

“…S4) illustrated all the functional groups of MCC, TOMCC and TMN. The absorption at ∼ 1644 cm −1 in MCC is indicative of the absorption of water molecules as a result of a strong interaction between cellulose and water . A new strong and narrow absorption band at ∼ 1609 cm −1 appeared and became stronger.…”

Eco‐friendly biorefractory films of gelatin and TEMPO‐oxidized cellulose ester for food packaging application

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The film material obtained in the present study was safe, stable, eco-friendly and biorefractory and could also be decomposed completely by the environment after disposal as a result of the properties of the ingredients gelatin and cellulose. The incorporation of a cellulosic cross-linker to gelatin-based films was an ideal choice with respect to developing a packaging for the food industry. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
