Water flux through blends from waste materials: Cellulose acetate (from sugar cane bagasse) with polystyrene (from plastic cups)

Abstract: ABSTRACT:In the present work we blended cellulose acetate (taken from sugar cane bagasse) (CA) with polystyrene (taken from postconsumer plastic cups) (PS). The blends were produced in the following ratios (w/w) of the polymers: CA 50%/PS 50%, CA 90%/PS 10%, and CA 10%/PS 90%, using dichloromethane as solvent. The blends were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and wide-angle Xray diffraction. The results show that the presence of polystyrene hinders the… Show more

“…Thus, lignocellulosic biomass from agroindustrial waste is an attractive alternative because it offers high and low‐cost availability . Many researchers have been focusing on CA synthesis from alternative sources provided by discarded industrial waste such as sugar cane bagasse , rice husk , wheat straw , and corn husk . Large‐scale palm tree crops cultivated for palm heart production purposes have been popular since the early 1990s.…”

“…A representative DSC thermogram of the second scan for CA films is shown in Figure 3(a). The melting temperature ( ) is centered at 216 ∘ C whereas the glass transition temperature ( ) is located at 177 ∘ C, transitions which have been reported somewhere else [45][46][47]. Nevertheless, CA with different degrees of acetylation shows values between 190 and 220 ∘ C [48,49] and a higher DS causes a lower possibility of forming hydrogen bonding and consequently a lower is manifested [50].…”

“…8 Several cellulose derivatives can be produced from the chemical recycling of sugarcane bagasse, such as cellulose acetate, methyl cellulose, and cellulose sulfoacetate (CSA). [9][10][11] The cellulose derivatives have in common increased solubility in most organic solvents. The latter can be applied to a number of industrial processes, such as the recovery of heavy oils, effluent treatment, and concrete additives in civil construction.…”
