Silver nanoparticles and silver-graphene oxide nanocomposites were fabricated using a rapid green microwave irradiation synthesis method. with narrow size distribution formed under for both samples. The silver distributed randomly on the surface of graphene oxide. Fourier transform infrared thermogravimetry analysis results showed that AgNP-graphene (AgGO) sample was partially reduced during in situ nanoparticles. Both AgGO exhibited stronger antibacterial properties against Gram-negative...
The industrial production of palm oil concurrently generates a substantial amount empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers that could be used as feedstock in lignocellulose-based biorefinery. Lignin byproducts generated by this process may offer opportunities for the isolation value-added products, such p-hydroxybenzoate (pBz), to help offset operating costs. Analysis EFB lignin nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy clearly revealed presence bound acetate and pBz, with saponification revealing...
The effect of acid treatment towards the degree defibrillation. Rapid uptake cationic dye. Hemicellulose responsible for dye uptake.
Abstract Background Solid acid catalyst was prepared from Kraft lignin by chemical activation with phosphoric acid, pyrolysis and sulfuric acid. This had high density as characterized scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDX) Brunauer, Emmett, Teller (BET) method analyses. It further used to catalyze the esterification of oleic one-step conversion non-pretreated Jatropha oil biodiesel. The effects loading, reaction temperature oil-to-methanol molar ratio,...
Natural fibers such as kenaf have been studied extensively a reinforcing phase and received major attention recently due to their renewability, biodegradability, high strength comparable other synthetic fibers.In this study, nano-crystalline cellulose (NCC) was produced from core wood using the acid hydrolysis method.Kenaf alkali treated with 4 wt% of sodium hydroxide solution subsequently bleached chlorite in acidic buffer.The resulting white, hydrolyzed 64 sulfuric (H 2 SO ) obtain NCC.The...
A highly porous cellulose nanofibril aerogel loaded with graphene oxide–iron(<sc>iii</sc>) nanocomposites was produced and used for the treatment of methylene blue in aqueous solution.
Copper nanowires (CuNWs) with a high aspect ratio of ~2600 have been successfully synthesized by using facile hydrothermal method. The reductions 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) and methylene blue (MB) leucomethylene (LMB) sodium borohydride (NaBH4) were used as models test the catalytic activity CuNWs. We showed that increasing CuNWs content, rate reduction increased well. an excellent performance where 99% 4-NP 4-AP occurred in just 60 s only 0.1 pg after treatment glacial...
In this study, highly porous activated carbon was produced from rice straw by carbonization and followed activation using potassium hydroxide (KOH).Activated samples were prepared under different temperatures, i.e., 650, 750 850°C, their physical chemical properties characterized accordingly.The BET surface area of the increased 520 to 1048 m 2 /g with increase temperature 650 850°C.These values much higher than non-activated 1.16 /g.The pore sizes found be mainly in mesopore size range 2-50...
This review paper is related to the utilization on bacterial cellulose in many applications. The polymer produced from possessed a very good physical and mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength, elasticity, absorbency. has significantly higher degree of polymerization crystallinity compared those derived plant. collection selected literature shown that are form pure can be used These include application various industries sectors economy, medicine or electronic industry.
