Recently, biomass has been understood and investigated to develop adsorbents for carbon
dioxide (CO 2) adsorption due to their non-hazardous nature, availability, low disposal cost …

Lignocellulosic biomass has gained growing interest as a promising substitute for the
production of renewable and sustainable chemicals and fuels as the dwindling fossil-fuel …

The potential risks from metal-based nanoparticles (NPs) in the environment have increased
with the rapidly rising demand for and use of nanoenabled consumer products. Plant's …

Although lignocellulosic biomass is traditionally considered to be composed of cellulose,
hemicellulose, and lignin, each of these components does not exist individually. Structurally …

The phytotoxicity of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) was evaluated as a function of particle size
(14, 50, and 200 nm), concentration (250 and 1000 mg L–1), and surface composition …

The high dependence on crude oil for energy utilization leads to a necessity of finding
alternative sustainable resources. Solvents are often employed in valorizing the biomass …

We used the model organisms Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Xanthi (tobacco) and Triticum
aestivum (wheat) to investigate plant uptake of 10-, 30-, and 50-nm diameter Au …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a useful method for producing renewable energy/biofuel. Today,
biogas production uses a large amount of energy crops (EC), with the effect of increasing AD …

Arundo donax L., common name giant cane or giant reed, is a plant that grows
spontaneously in different kinds of environments and that it is widespread in temperate and …

Background Hydrothermal pretreatment using liquid hot water (LHW) is capable of
substantially reducing the cell wall recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass. It enhances the …
