From Hemp Bast to Lyocell Fiber: Sustainable Process Optimization for Lyocell‐Grade Dissolving Pulp

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 16, April 20, 2026.
This study presents a sustainable method to produce lyocell‐grade dissolving pulp from Canadian hemp bast fibers. A simplified alkali‐chelation‐bleaching process, free from sulfur and chlorine, yielded high α‐cellulose pulp with low lignin and hemicellulose content. The pulp was successfully spun into continuous hemp‐based lyocell fibers, demonstrating

Pretreatment of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch using Caustic Soda Solution for Lignin Isolation

open access: yesJournal of Applied Science and Engineering, 2022
Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) is lignocellulose consisting of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Lignin can be converted into derivative materials such as phenols, acetic acid, adhesives, surfactants, polymer products, and other chemical sources.

Improving Oxygen Barrier Performance of Polylactide Film by Using Bleached and Unbleached Nanocellulose From Grape Pomace

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 14, April 10, 2026.
Bleached and unbleached nanocelluloses were produced from the exhausted grape pomace and applied as coatings on PLA substrates for sustainable food packaging. Unbleached nanocelluloses were more hydrophobic and amorphous than bleached ones. The resulting bio‐based bleached nanocellulose‐coated PLA films showed a 68% reduction in O2 permeability ...

Integrated and closed‐loop biorefinery strategies for efficient waste valorization and biofuel production

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 1656-1676, April 2026.
Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

Effects of Chemical Extraction Treatments on Nano-scale Mechanical Properties of the Wood Cell Wall

open access: yesBioResources, 2016
Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook) was subjected to chemical extraction treatments with sodium chlorite (NaClO2) for delignification, as well as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at various concentrations for extracting hemicelluloses gradually ...

Effect of NaOH Treatment and Solvent Extraction on the Chemical Composition and Morphology of False Banana (Ensete ventricosum) Fibers

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study investigates the effects of NaOH pretreatment (2%–8%) combined with Soxhlet benzene–ethanol (2:1 v/v) extraction on the chemical composition and surface morphology of these fibers. The results witness that controlled alkali and solvent treatments can significantly enhance the chemical composition and surface morphology of Ensete ventricosum ...
