“…The technique involves in the extraction of cellulose from waste natural filler, including the chemical method, mechanical method and a combination of mechanical and chemical method. Chemical treatment usually involves the use of alkaline [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ], acid hydrolyzed [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ] and bleaching of the natural filler. Alkaline treatment ruptures the intramolecular crossed bond between lignin and hemicellulose.…”

“…The usage of the acid hydrolysis technique is the most common technique found to isolate nanocellulose after the pre-treatment process. The usage of acid includes hydrochloric acid [ 39 ], oxalic acid [ 44 ], formic acid [ 42 ] and sulfuric acid [ 41 ]. The drawback of using acid treatment is a large number of effluents generated during washing the filler, corrosion hazard of the acid, low thermal stability for the sulfuric acid and generate a low yield of cellulose due to degradation of cellulose [ 32 ].…”

In recent years, biodegradable composites have become important in various fields because of the increasing awareness of the global environment. Waste natural polymers have received much attention as renewable, biodegradable, non-toxic and low-cost filler in polymer composites. In order to exploit the high potential for residual natural loading in latex composites, different types of surface modification techniques have been applied. This review discusses the preparation and characterization of the modified waste natural fillers for latex-based composites. The potency of the waste natural filler for the latex-based composites was explored with a focus on the mechanical, thermal, biodegradability and filler–latex interaction. This review also offers an update on the possible application of the waste natural filler towards the biodegradability of the latex-based composites for a more sustainable future.

“…Using oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB), which typically contain 40-50% cellulose as a source of cellulose, Teow et al, prepared cellulose/PVDF membrane for dye wastewater treatment using OPEFB-derived cellulose [139]. The formulation of polymer dope was performed to identify the appropriate solvent and optimal cellulose concentration.…”

Waste Reutilization in Polymeric Membrane Fabrication: A New Direction in Membranes for Separation

2021

In parallel to the rapid growth in economic and social activities, there has been an undesirable increase in environmental degradation due to the massively produced and disposed waste. The need to manage waste in a more innovative manner has become an urgent matter. In response to the call for circular economy, some solid wastes can offer plenty of opportunities to be reutilized as raw materials for the fabrication of functional, high-value products. In the context of solid waste-derived polymeric membrane development, this strategy can pave a way to reduce the consumption of conventional feedstock for the production of synthetic polymers and simultaneously to dampen the negative environmental impacts resulting from the improper management of these solid wastes. The review aims to offer a platform for overviewing the potentials of reutilizing solid waste in liquid separation membrane fabrication by covering the important aspects, including waste pretreatment and raw material extraction, membrane fabrication and characterizations, as well as the separation performance evaluation of the resultant membranes. Three major types of waste-derived polymeric raw materials, namely keratin, cellulose, and plastics, are discussed based on the waste origins, limitations in the waste processing, and their conversion into polymeric membranes. With the promising material properties and viability of processing facilities, recycling and reutilization of waste resources for membrane fabrication are deemed to be a promising strategy that can bring about huge benefits in multiple ways, especially to make a step closer to sustainable and green membrane production.

“…Steam explosion pre-treatment improves the yield of lignin isolation by up to 15% with high-purity and high-quality lignin without changing its structure [ 20 ]. The extraction of cellulose from OPEFB has been studied extensively for several applications such as drug carrier [ 21 ], personal care and food industry [ 22 ], membrane [ 23 ], and filler [ 24 ], however, lignin derived from by-products is still less utilised. The biomass consists of 20–50% cellulose, 23–36% hemicellulose, and 22–51% lignin (dry weight) [ 25 ].…”
