Lignin is a natural aromatic polymer of p-hydroxyphenylpropanoids with various biological
activities. Noticeably, plants have made use of lignin as biocides to defend themselves from …

Around 1.3 billion tonnes of weak Kraft black liquor is produced every year, and is usually
concentrated by evaporation and burned to produce energy. Nevertheless, this strategy …

With the increased use of agro-chemicals in the last two decades it has become crucial to
find alternative chemicals that are less harmful to the environment and humankind. One …

This work deals with promoting the efficiency of removing the cationic and ionic dyes by new
aerogel–carbon nanostructures. For cleaner production the rice straw-pul** black liquors …

This work deals with providing a green pul** process of rice straw with zero waste
discharged, via valorization of its by-product as a promising precursor for production of …

The continuous depletion of forests calls for the astute usage of existing resources. Fungi
and termites cause serious damage to biomass under storage and service conditions …

In the modern forest industry, the need for bio-based, renewable, and environmentally-
benign wood preservatives is increasing. The world harvests approximately 1700 million m3 …

Agricultural wastes are huge source of organic materials for preparation of active carbon,
which can be applied to water treatment by absorbing the dissolved substances. Rice straw …
