A multiscale approach to evaluate the effect of different extraction and pre‐treatment methodologies on physicochemical properties of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) nut shell liquid

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 266-275, February 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) is an agro‐industrial residue from cashew production that has gained relevance due to its possibilities to generate valuable by‐products. Although lab‐scale CNSL extraction has been studied in terms of yield and energy efficiency, the effect of industrial‐scale extraction and nut pre‐treatment methods ...

Coal water slurry using dispersant synthesized from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL)

Fuel Processing Technology, 2014
Abstract The present work reports the preparation of coal–water slurry (CWS) containing cardanol–formaldehyde sulfonate (CFS) which was synthesized by sulfomethylation reaction of cardanol. It is found that the surface tension of CFS decreases with increasing concentration, indicating its good surface activity.

Epoxidation of CNSL Mixture, Cardanol, and Cardol: A Sustainable Solution for PVC Plasticization

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study has its focus on the epoxidation of technical cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), used as a PVC plasticizer. Epoxidation significantly enhanced plasticizing properties (increased elongation at break, decreased Young's modulus), along with improved thermal stability and chemical resistance.

Valorization of CNSL as a Sustainable Solution for PVC Plasticization: A Comprehensive Study of Cardanol–Cardol Mixture

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 102, Issue 8, Page 1141-1157, August 2025.
ABSTRACT For the first time, a mixture of cardanol and cardol esters has been studied as plasticizers for PVC. From our previous work, it has been established that the favorable plasticizing properties of cardol for PVC materials exist. Hence, the utilization of cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), a naturally occurring mixture of cardanol and cardol, as a ...

Effects of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) component upon Aedes aegypti Lin. (Diptera: Culicidae) larvaes midgut [PDF]

African Journal of Biotechnology, 2015
aegypti Lin. (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae’s midgut The cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) has been associated with a number of biological activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the insecticidal potential caused by CNSL from Anacardium occidentalle L. (Anacardiaceae) upon Aedes aegypti and verify histomorphological alterations in the larval midgut.
