Spruce Bark Biorefinery

, 2013
Norway spruce Picea abies is a key raw material for the forest industry in the Nordic countries. In order to improve the competitiveness of the forest industry by valorising residues and creating value from new products, we have studied the upgrading of spruce bark into transport fuels and chemicals.

Structural Ordering and Polarizable Al3+ Solvation Induced via Amphiphilic Zwitterion for Highly‐Reversible Zn–Al Alloy Anodes

Small, EarlyView.
An amphiphilic zwitterion of ZI‐10 is employed as an electrolyte additive to enhance the stability of Zn–Al alloy anodes, thereby constructing a dual‐layered electric double layer through the self‐assembly. The ZI‐10‐induced Al3+ solvation reduces charge transfer barriers, enabling over 2500 h of stable cycling and superior performance in full cells ...

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Posidonia oceanica Leaves as a Natural Filler for Poly(Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) Composites: Characterization and Biodegradation Assessment in Seawater

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
This study shows that incorporating 5–10 wt.% Posidonia oceanica, with or without micro‐talc, in PBSA preserves thermal stability, modifying crystallization behavior, and maintains good filler dispersion and interfacial adhesion. Mechanical properties are moderately stiffened.
