Focus on humins, a co-product from sugar conversion, to highlight their capacity impregnate wood cell walls for making durable products.
The concept of circular economy is aiming at promoting innovative use wastes, residues, or byproducts into marketable chemicals and intermediates, while enhancing process economics environmental sustainability. Within biorefineries, the focus has now shifted toward "humins", polymeric condensation far less investigated than lignins. Humins are produced in many biobased value chains that start from polysaccharides pretreatment, targeting access to C6 C5 sugars further conversion furanics-...
Industrial humins from biorefining process of sugars were used as reactive thermoset matrix for the preparation humins-jute fibre composites. This material was investigated and benchmarked with jute composites prepared polyfurfurylalcohol (PFA), a well-known biobased thermosetting resin The Dynamic Mechanical Analyses (DMA) showed glass transition temperature (Tg) associated to relaxation cross-linked humins' chains at 75 °C similar Tg PFA. two types revealed tensile properties in same range...
Abstract With a growing interest in the concept of circular economy, use lignocellulosic residues, such as lignins and humins, potential renewable feedstock for biorefining processes looks increasingly promising. Many challenges remain sustainable starting from need to provide reference data reflecting actual usable feedstocks materials. This paper offers first study, this perspective, environmental fate those materials components, all related furanics, family compounds toxicity which is...
Avantium is in the process of building a flagship plant for production furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and derived polyester polyethylene furanoate (PEF) using their YXY process. Because status this development monomer production, next to storage shipping, polymer application development, recycling, understanding safety aspects key successful deployment technology. In paper, focus on fire propagation-related issues both monomeric furanic compounds PEF results are compared with relevant...
