Abstract:Composites prepared from metal oxides and materials derived from agroforestry residues have been successfully applied to remove emerging contaminants. The lignin properties, high surface area and number of functional groups, are beneficial in the preparation of TiO2 composites. In the present work, sisal residue was used as a source of lignin, and after extraction, the lignin was applied in the preparation of an adsorbent composite with TiO2 to remove bisphenol-A. The optimal conditions for lignin extraction r… Show more
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.
