There is growing interest in cellulose nanofibres from renewable sources for several industrial applications. However, there a lack of information about one the most abundant pulps: bleached Eucalyptus kraft pulp. The objective present work was to obtain micro/nanofibres by three different processes, namely: refining, sonication and acid hydrolysis refining limited low efficiency isolated nanofibrils, while more effective this purpose. latter process occurred at expense considerable damage...
The aim of this paper was to analyze energy-related properties forestry and agricultural wastes for energy production purposes, compare them with fossil fuels. used were red cedar, Eucalyptus, Pinus wood shavings. analyzed rice husk, coffee wastes, sugar cane bagasse, maize harvesting bamboo cellulose pulp. presented more suitable bioenergy than the wastes. Desirable energetic found opposite verified husks. Among biomass studied, highest equivalent in fuel volume hence may lead decrease CO2...
This work evaluates the influence of three different intensities refinement sisal pulp and effect accelerated aging cycles on behavior composites. Fiber-cements were prepared by slurry de-watering method pressing as a crude simulation Hatschek process. Mechanical composites was evaluated four-point bending test at 28 days, after 50 100 wet/dry cycles. Refinement have increased strength bulk density decreased toughness porosity. The best mechanical performance achieved for samples with highly...
The aim of this study was to develop a chitosan/cellulose nanofibril (CNF) nanocomposite and evaluate its effect on strawberry’s postharvest quality after coating. From the results color, thickness, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) permeability water vapor analyses, best film formulation for coating strawberries determined. Three formulations were prepared: 1% chitosan, chitosan + 3% CNF, 5% CNF. immersed in filmogenic solutions kept under cold storage (1 ± 1°C). color not affected by...
