Investigation of Characteristics and Thermal Behaviour of Lignocellulosic Waste Biomass Using Thermogravimetric Analysis
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...

Physical and chemical modification of lignocellulosic waste biomass-tool for improving sorption capacity
The main constituents of ligno-cellulosic (LC) biomass are lignin, celluloses and hemicelluloses, complex polymers with many functional groups, which can be modified with the purpose to improve the sorption properties&...

Imobilisation of alkali treated apricot shells as a biosorbent for heavy metals removal
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...
