Molecules 2024; 29:2809. [PMID: 38930873 PMCID: PMC11206315 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29122809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This study examined the possibility of using various types of waste paper-used newsprint (NP), used lightweight coated paper (LWC), used office paper (OP), and used corrugated cardboard (CC)-for the removal of anionic dyes, Acid Red 18 (AR18) and Acid Yellow 23 (AY23), and cationic dyes, Basic Violet 10 (BV10) and Basic Red 46 (BR46), from aqueous solutions. The scope of this research included the characterization of sorbents (FTIR, SEM, BET surface area, porosity, pHPZC, effectiveness of water coloration), determination of pH effect on the effectiveness of dye sorption, sorption kinetics (pseudo-first-order model, second-order model, intraparticular diffusion model), and the maximum sorption capacity (Langmuir models and Freundlich model) of the tested sorbents. The use of waste paper materials as sorbents was found to not pose any severe risk of aquatic environment contamination. AR18, AY23, and BV10 sorption intensities were the highest at pH 2, and that of RB46 at pH 6. The waste paper sorbents proved particularly effective in removing cationic dyes, like in the case of, e.g., NP, which had a sorption capacity that reached 38.87 mg/g and 90.82 mg/g towards BV10 and BR46, respectively, and were comparable with that of selected activated carbons (literature data).

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:1931. [PMID: 37446447 DOI: 10.3390/nano13131931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
To extend the application of cost-effective high-yield pulps in packaging, strength and barrier properties are improved by advanced-strength additives or by hot-pressing. The aim of this study is to assess the synergic effects between the two approaches by using nanocellulose as a bulk additive, and by hot-pressing technology. Due to the synergic effect, dry strength increases by 118% while individual improvements are 31% by nanocellulose and 92% by hot-pressing. This effect is higher for mechanical fibrillated cellulose. After hot-pressing, all papers retain more than 22% of their dry strength. Hot-pressing greatly increases the paper's ability to withstand compressive forces applied in short periods of time by 84%, with a further 30% increase due to the synergic effect of the fibrillated nanocellulose. Hot-pressing and the fibrillated cellulose greatly decrease air permeability (80% and 68%, respectively) for refining pretreated samples, due to the increased fiber flexibility, which increase up to 90% using the combined effect. The tear index increases with the addition of nanocellulose, but this effect is lost after hot-pressing. In general, fibrillation degree has a small effect which means that low- cost nanocellulose could be used in hot-pressed papers, providing products with a good strength and barrier capacity.

Abstract
Apple wood waste (AWW), mainly tree trucks, is collectible lignocellulosic biomass from orchard rotation. The biorefinery of AWW is challenging because of the hard and dense structure. In the present work, chemical composition determination and microstructure observation was performed for the first time on AWW. Alkali-preimpregnation-assisted soda cooking (APSC) was developed to separate cellulose a pulp and lignin from AWW. APSC attained pulp yield of 34.2% at 23% NaOH, showing a 13.2% improvement compared to conventional soda cooking (SC). Fiber length analysis showed APSC-AWW pulp consisted mainly of medium and short fibers, which means blending with long-fibered pulp to enhance the physical strength of pulp sheets. A blend of APSC-AWW pulp and long-fibered pulp in the proportion of 80:20 attained comparable physical strength to hardwood kraft pulp. ASPC-AWW lignin was separated from spent liquor by acidification and then purified by dialysis desalination. The purified ASPC-AWW lignin showed a weight-average molecular weight of 4462 g/mol, similar to softwood kraft lignin but more uniform. Structural analysis revealed that ASPC-AWW lignin was composed of a syringyl unit (S), guaiacyl unit(G), and p-hydroxyphenyl unit (H), and an S unit was dominant with an S/G/H ratio of 74.5:18.2:7.3. It is believed the utilization of fruit tree wood waste as the feedstock of biorefinery is attractive to countries without sufficient forestry resources. Furthermore, the developed APSC is based on conventional SC, which ensures the feasibility of an industrial application.

Utilizing and Valorizing Oat and Barley Straw as an Alternative Source of Lignocellulosic Fibers. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:7826. [PMID: 36363418 PMCID: PMC9658622 DOI: 10.3390/ma15217826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The transition to sustainable, biodegradable, and recyclable materials requires new sources of cellulose fibers that are already used in large volumes by forest industries. Oat and barley straws provide interesting alternatives to wood fibers in lightweight material applications because of their similar chemical composition. Here we investigate processing and material forming concepts, which would enable strong fiber network structures for various applications. The idea is to apply mild pretreatment processing that could be distributed locally so that the logistics of the raw material collection could be made efficient. The actual material production would then combine foam-forming and hot-pressing operations that allow using all fractions of fiber materials with minimal waste. We aimed to study the technical features of this type of processing on a laboratory scale. The homogeneity of the sheet samples was very much affected by whether the raw material was mechanically refined or not. Straw fibers did not form a bond spontaneously with one another after drying the sheets, but their effective bonding required a subsequent hot pressing operation. The mechanical properties of the formed materials were at a similar level as those of the conventional wood-fiber webs. In addition to the technical aspects of materials, we also discuss the business opportunities and system-level requirements of using straw as an alternative source of lignocellulosic fibers.
