Defibrillated Lignocellulose Recovery Guided by Plant Chemistry and Anatomy – A Pioneering Study with Lupinus angustifolius

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2024.
Lupin is identified as a promising lignocellulose source. It serves as a model organism for legume crops, providing sustainable solutions for biomass utilization and alternative protein sources. Optotracing, a novel technique, offers non‐disruptive lignocellulose analytics, guiding a design‐driven biomass fractionation.

The Effect of Packaging Types on Fresh Peaches in the Direct‐To‐Consumer Environment: Distribution Testing, Life Cycle Assessment and Economic Impact

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 667-684, July 2024.
This study evaluated different package types' sustainability, cost and protective capacity on peaches in the direct‐to‐consumer distribution environment. The vibration response of peaches in all package types is amplified in the same frequency region as the input from truck‐trailer systems, and damage from shock events is correlated with the freedom of

Effect of Acacia melanoxylon wood density on papermaking potential [PDF]

, 2007
In this work we study the behaviour in kraft cooking and papermaking of 6 Acacia melanoxylon wood chip samples, with basic densities of 449, 489, 493, 505, 514 and 616 kg/m3. The wood chip samples were screened and submitted to the kraft cooking process.

Using Paper as a Biomimetic Fog Harvesting Material

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 11, Issue 8, March 14, 2024.
Paper materials are turned into biomimetic fog harvesting surfaces by applying a superhydrophobic coating with hydrophilic glass particles. The combination of the optimal water‐draining superhydrophobic background with smooth pinning centers provides superior fog harvesting potential, especially compared to model substances (glass, polyethylene, and ...

Alternative chemo-enzymatic treatment for homogeneous and heterogeneous acetylation of wood fibers [PDF]

, 2018
A new chemo-enzymatic treatment is proposed to produce cellulosic fibers suitable for heterogeneous- or homogeneous-phase acetylation. The procedure included enzymatic (laccase–violuric acid) lignin removal from the precursor fibers (unbleached sulfite ...
