Chemistry and Structure Characterization of Bamboo Pulp with Formacell Pulping

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
AbstractBamboo is one of the non-wood materials which can be utilized as raw materials of pulp. The purpose of this work was to study the effect of the ratio of acetic acid:formic acid on the chemical properties of pulp from bamboo. The results of the study showed that increases of the ratio of formic acid able to degraded of cellulose, hemicellulose ...

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals Through Social Life Cycle Assessment: A Case Study of Portuguese Forest Wood Supply Chains

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social considerations are often overlooked in efforts to achieve sustainable development, despite being critical for building equitable and resilient global value chains. This study addresses this gap by applying a social life cycle assessment to three key Portuguese forest wood supply chains—uncoated woodfree paper, natural cork stoppers, and

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather
