Chemical Valorization of Cashew Nut Shell Waste

Topics in Current Chemistry, 2018
Cashew nut shells are agro-wastes produced from cashew nut processing factories and contain about 30-35 wt% oil called cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). This liquid is a mixture of four potential compounds, namely anacardic acid, cardanol, cardol and 2-methyl cardol.

Particleboard from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid

Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 2007
Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is a cheap agro-by-product and renewable resource which consists mainly of substituted phenols. A CNSL based resol resin was used in this study as a binder for particleboards. The resin was a copolymer obtained by condensing a mixture of phenol and CNSL with hexamethylenetetramine. Properties of the board viz.

The ultrastructure of shelled and unshelled cashew nuts

Micron, 2013
Cashew nuts have many attributes, including sensory, nutritional and health appeal, which contribute to their worldwide acceptance. We demonstrate details of the microstructure of shelled and unshelled cashew kernels with regard to pericarp and cotyledon organization. This study also provides evidence of the colonization of these kernels by filamentous

Dominant thermogravimetric signatures of lignin in cashew shell as compared to cashew shell cake

Bioresource Technology, 2014
Dominant thermogravimetric signatures related to lignin were observed in cashew shell as compared to these signatures in cashew shell cake. The phenomenon of weakening of lignin from cashew shell to cashew shell cake was explained on the basis of changes in the activation energies.

Anacardic Acid: Molluscicide in Cashew Nut Shell Liquid

Planta Medica, 1982
The components of anacardic acid, (a mixture of 6-n-C (15) alkylsalicylic acids whose side chains vary in degrees of unsaturation) have been isolated by high pressure liquid chromatography from a crude extract of cashew nut shell, Anacardium occidentale, and tested for toxicity to fresh water snails, Biomphalaria glabrata.

Enzymatic bioremediation of cashew nut shell liquid contamination

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2010
Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), a by-product of the cashew kernel industry, is a caustic, viscous, dark liquid. The process is done manually, which leaves stains on the hands of the workers. The aim was to find the utility of enzymes, oxidoreductases and proteases for the bioremediation of CNSL, which contains phenolics, mainly cardanol (60-65%).

Amphiphilic antioxidants from “cashew nut shell liquid” (CNSL) waste

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 2011
Hydrogenated cardanol and cardols, contained in industrial grade cardanol oil and obtained by distillation of the raw "cashew nut shell liquid" (CNSL), are easily transformed into efficient 4-thiaflavane antioxidants bearing a long alkyl chain on A ring and a catechol group on B ring.

MINI SEMI-AUTOMATIC SHELLING MACHINE: A POSSIBILITY FOR CASHEW SHELLING

International Journal Semiarid, 2022
This work aims to help cashew nut producers in the act of de-nutting the nut. This processis done completely manually by the workers. Faced with this problem, we decided to createa prototype capable of speeding up this method that takes place in a slow and difficult way,bringing to the worker little production and physical wear, caused by poor posture ...
