This paper focuses on lignocellulosic waste biomass originating from food industry, which should find its further application in order to fulfill demands of circular economy. Therefore, here are presented some of the chemical and physical properties that affect combustion process, as well as thermochemical reaction kinetics for lignocellulosic biom...

In this work, the design and usage of biosorbents made of apricot shells (Prunus armeniaca L.), Na-alginate and bentonite, for heavy metals removal from wastewaters, were investigated. The effect of particle size on the biosorption process, were investigate and the smallest fraction, was immobilized in Na-alginate. Immobilization had a positive eff...

In this paper, the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution by biosorption ontoapricot shellshas been investigated through batch experiments. Apricot shells were chosen as alocally available and abundant waste from fruit juice industry. Methylene blue is common pollutantof waste waters from textile industry.The influence of initial MB c...
