Abstract Lignin‐based wood adhesives are obtained that satisfy the requirements of relevant international standards for manufacture exterior‐grade particleboard. Formulations based on low molecular mass lignin and presenting an increase in relative proportion reactive points yield better results than higher used past. These lignins allow a hydroxymethylation during preparation methylolated lignins. lignin‐based also acceptable at particleboard pressing times sufficiently to be industrial...
Fiberboards are readily available components which can be used in construction for various functions such as furniture, insulation, or soundproofing. Research the field of fiberboards has developed considerably trying to match practical needs element together with new environmental challenges, that favour production panels using by-products without adhesives. This review article presents an overview on fiberboard and may offer a way establish all necessary steps make binderless attractive...
Abstract The fractionation of wheat straw was studied using a two-stage process based on an hydrolytic pretreatment followed by alkali delignification. performed steam explosion. Straw steamed at temperatures comprised between 205 and 230°C for 2 min. washed with hot water to yield solution rich in hemicellulose-derived mono- oligosaccharides. fiber delignified 160°C 60 min NaOH load 20%. alkali-soluble lignin recovered filtration after acidification the black liquor. pulp screened bleached...
Microalgae is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production because of its lipid content and it helps to decrease the use land nonfood applications (second generation biomass energy production). To produce biodiesel, several stages should be followed. An important one microalgae concentration after growth stage prior extraction. Microfiltration possible method if consumption optimized, considering total cost whole process value final product. Enhanced dynamic microfiltration has been tested...
