Effect of lignin on the thermal properties of nanocrystalline prepared from kenaf core

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
Lignin and cellulose work together to provide a structural function in plants. While cellulose is the primary load-bearing element, lignin acts as the matrix that provides stiffness and rigidity to the fibre. In the production of nanocellulose, the removal of lignin is essential which is done through bleaching.

Soil potassium pools across depths limit crop response in sandy loam soil

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Quantifying potassium (K) distribution across soil layers is crucial for understanding the often‐weak relationship between crop response to K fertilization and soil test K (STK). We evaluated exchangeable (STKExch), nonexchangeable (STKNonExch), and semi‐total K (KSemiTotal) at depths 0–20 cm, 20–30 cm, 30–40 cm, 40–65 cm, and 65–90 cm, along ...

A Comprehensive Review of Adsorbents for Rare Earth Separation: Design, Synthesis, Adsorption Performance, and Mechanisms

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Rare earth elements (REEs) play an irreplaceable role in modern technology and industry. However, due to the highly similar physicochemical properties among REEs, their separation remains a significant challenge. Additionally, REEs often exist in low‐concentration solutions, making efficient REE recovery an urgent task.

Influences of Layered Structure on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Kenaf Core Particleboard

BioResources, 2013
Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), a fast-growing fiber crop, is a potential substitute for wood to make composition boards. This work investigated single- and three-layer kenaf core particleboards (KPBs) and kenaf core-cedar wood composite particleboard (KCPB) with polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI) and phenol formaldehyde (PF) resins.
