Many pulp mills and biorefineries today are focusing on the utilization of their residual lignin for economic return. Although can be burned to produce energy, it also has potential production value-added products. Technical lignins have modified structure contain different impurities, which depend original material, as well extraction process. Among various techniques extraction, kraft steam explosion processes most commonly used in pulping biorefinery industries, respectively. The...

Abstract Cellulose nanofibres are environmentally benign and have unique features compared to macro scales. Nowadays, many efforts been made in developing potential composite products with improved properties. However, the manufacturing of nanocomposites natural fibres has a challenging task due difficulty encountered order aggregate nanofibres. In this paper, curaua were utilized for isolation Polyvinylalcohol (PVA) was chosen as matrix its excellent film forming, packaging capacity...

Basalt fibre is a promising mineral that has high potential to replace synthetic based glass in today’s stringent environmental concern. In this study, friction and wear characteristics of basalt fibres reinforced epoxy composites were studied comparatively evaluated at two test stages. The first stage was conducted fixed load, speed distance under three different conditions; adhesive, abrasive erosive wear, wherein each composite specimens slide against steel, silicon carbide, sand...
