“…The mechanical properties of recycled paper have been significantly improved by the addition of nanocellulose varying the sources, such as oil palm empty fruit bunches [25], corn stalks [26], wheat straw [27], wood [9], recycled pulp [28], hemp [29], and others. The addition of wood virgin pulp to recycled pulp to improve mechanical performance has been investigated [30], as well as the addition to different agro-waste, for example, rice straw [31]. Upon conducting a thorough review of the literature regarding the enhancement of recycled paper properties, the authors reached a conclusion that, in essence, no studies have been conducted to explore the impact of the combination of virgin wood and hemp fibers, and additionally CNF, on the enhancement of the paper of recycled fibers.…”

A significant increase in the consumption of recycled fiber products has been observed worldwide, and the industry is forced to solve the challenges of recycled fiber quality and add strength agents and/or virgin fibers to reach sufficient properties. In order to investigate whether the mechanical and air permeability properties of waste fiber (WF) material can be significantly improved by adding wood kraft fibers (KF), hemp soda fibers (HF), and ammonium persulfate oxidated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), different fiber blends were prepared and tested. Results revealed the excellence of hemp fibers over wood fibers regarding the improvement of WF products. The results of WF after the addition of 10% mixed fibers (KF + HF) were higher than the results of a 50% KF addition. The impact of CNF depended on fiber composition and properties. A formula for modeling the CNF impact on different fiber compositions was proposed. Obtained fiber material samples showed suitability for home composting, thus contributing to the goals of the European Green Deal regarding reducing landfill waste and the development of cleaner products.

“…It is seen that overlapped broad absorption at regions 3300 cm -1 and strong absorption peaks of RS, compared PL and EFB at 1068 cm -1 and 899 cm -1 , corresponding to the silicone ions: silanol (Si-OH) and siloxane (Si-O-Si) bonds. The high difference peak at region 800-1200 cm -1 for RS possibly contains a high amount of Si-O, representing the silica compounds [32,43,44].…”

“…Although many types of filtration of the substrate are widely used, such as cotton [24], metal [25], fabric [26,27], and polymer membranes [28], the choice of the substrate in the separation process is a substantial challenge with some drawbacks due to overall separation efficiency, stability, and fouling effect. Hence, adding reinforcer onto porous materials-based polymer substrates could improve the properties such as substrate strength, separation efficiency, and color removal yield [29][30][31][32][33][34][35], and the dip-coating process is one of them [36,37]. Dip-coating is a simple and affordable method for depositing compounds onto any substrate, including ceramic [4], polymer films [5], and fiber materials [38].…”

The abundance of agricultural wastes from various industrialized processes has become one of the significant contributors to water pollution, particularly in the color of effluents from industrial-based palm oil mills. Inventively, this research focused on three different agro-wastes: pineapple leaves (PL), rice straw (RS), and empty fruit bunch (EFB) reinforced onto PET fabric composite and its decolorization performances by using palm oil mill final effluent discharged (POME-FED). The calcinated agro wastes/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) reinforced onto the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics were prepared by using the dip-coating technique and characterized via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDS), spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), turbidity and color of POME-FED. It was found that the calcinated PL/PVDF/Fabric displayed the best performance in the turbidity and decolorization by 12.02 NTU, 760 ADMI, and ~60% color removal efficiency as compared with raw POME-FED (~1800 ADMI). Nevertheless, the decolorization efficiencies of RS/PVDF/Fabric and EFB/PVDF/Fabric had increased by ~37 % and ~49 %, respectively. It shows that the formation of a reinforcing layer on the PET fabric surface has improved the transparency of POME-FED. The SEM micrographs and the change of peaks at regions 1650 cm-1, 1450 cm-1, 1210 cm-1, and 990 cm-1 in composites' spectroscopies demonstrate the different patterns of these calcinated samples are various patterns that impart the strength of the composite fabric surface functionality and hydrophobicity. The reduction of the color value of effluent showed the hydrophobicity of the integrated palm oil waste coated with PET, which enables to trap of the particles in the effluent, thus this composite has potential use in the filtration of water treatment.

“…The primary green material that can be extracted from agricultural, forestry, and food residues is cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer on Earth. This biopolymer, along with its micro- and nanoscale forms, is biodegradable and lends itself well to the development of a wide range of materials [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Biodegradable mulching films are a very attractive solution to agronomical practices intended to achieve more successful crop results. And, in this context, the employment of agricultural and industrial food residues as starting material for their production is an alternative with economic and environmental advantages. This work reports the preparation of bilayer films having two different wettability characteristics from three bio-derived biopolymers: TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers isolated from infused Yerba Mate residues, Chitosan and Polylactic acid. The infused Yerba Mate residues, the isolated and oxidized cellulose nanofibers, and the films were characterized. Nanofibrillation yield, optical transmittance, cationic demand, carboxyl content, intrinsic viscosity, degree of polymerization, specific surface area and length were studied for the (ligno)cellulose nanofibers. Textural and chemical analysis, thermal and mechanical properties studies, as well as water and light interactions were included in the characterization of the films. The bilayer films are promising materials to be used as mulching films.
