Hydrothermal treatments applied to agro- and forest- industrial waste to produce high added-value compounds
Vallejos, María Evangelina; Felissia, Fernando Esteban; Area, María Cristina (North Carolina State University. Department of Wood and Paper Science, 2017-01-01)Agro- and forest-industrial wastes are abundant and low cost sources of carbohydrates and phenolic compounds, which can be converted into biofuels, biomaterials, and high added-value compounds by different pathways in small ... -
Key role of anionic trash catching system on the efficiency of lignocellulose nanofibers in industrial recycled slurries
Tarrés, Quim; Area, María Cristina; Vallejos, María Evangelina; Ehman, Nanci Vanesa; Delgado Aguilar, Marc; Mutjé, Pere (Springer, 2017-11-29)The processing of recycled paper into packaging materials is becoming one of the most important activities of paper mills. However, the use of recycled paper as a raw material causes an important increase of dissolved ... -
Kinetic modeling of a heterogeneous Fenton‐type oxidative treatment of complex industrial efuent
Covinich, Laura Gabriela; Felissia, Fernando Esteban; Massa, Paola Andrea; Fenoglio, Rosa Juana; Area, María Cristina (Springer Nature, 2018-09-17)This work proposes a kinetic model for the reactions involved in the heterogeneous copper-based Fenton-type oxidation of mixed recalcitrant compounds in a real industrial effluent from the alkaline sulfite treatment of ... -
Lignocellulosic nanofibers from triticale straw : the influence of hemicelluloses and lignin in their production and properties
Tarrés, Quim; Ehman, Nanci Vanesa; Vallejos, María Evangelina; Area, María Cristina; Delgado Aguilar, Marc; Mutjé, Pere (Elsevier, 2017-05-01)The present work aims to determine the influence of hemicellulose and lignin content in the production of lignocellulosic nanofibers (LCNF) from triticale straws. Triticale straws were digested and then gradually delignified, ... -
