Existing pulp mills have great potential to deliver more products through the integration of biorefinery concepts, and thus become an important part of the future bio-based economy.
Our last article on nanocellulose in environmental cleanup looked at the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as adsorbents in the removal of dyes and heavy metals from water.
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are natural, sustainable, and renewable – in a word, eco-friendly – and what’s more, they can play a direct role in cleaning up pollution!
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed a biomass-based polymer made from lignin, an abundant organic compound in wood and plants, that can repeatedly capture and release carbon dioxide (CO2).
The initiative will pioneer low-carbon, water-efficient technology with the potential to reduce water consumption by up to 90% and overall energy consumption by more than half.
Scaling or deposits or incrustations are terms that refer to the accumulation or deposition of minerals on different surfaces (i.e., heat exchangers).
