Activated lignin-chitosan extruded blends for efficient adsorption of methylene blue
Ahmad B. Albadarin,Maurice N. Collins,Mu. Naushad,Saeed Shirazian,Gavin Walker,Chirangano Mangwandi +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the production of activated lignin-chitosan extruded (ALiCE) pellets with controlled particle size distribution (almost spherical: dp ∼500-1000μm) for efficient methylene blue (MB) adsorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of using green adsorbent of heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions: Adsorption kinetics, isotherm, thermodynamic, mechanism and economic analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a batch adsorption system was used for the removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions using a local natural abundant agricultural waste in Egypt, where the peanut hull was used as an adsorbent without any chemical or physical treatment.

Characteristics of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin pyrolysis
TL;DR: In this article, the pyrolysis characteristics of three main components (hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin) of biomass were investigated using, respectively, a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) detector and a pack bed.

The Catalytic Valorization of Lignin for the Production of Renewable Chemicals
TL;DR: Biomass is an important feedstock for the renewable production of fuels, chemicals, and energy, and it recently surpassed hydroelectric energy as the largest domestic source of renewable energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of chitosan, a natural aminopolysaccharide, for dye removal from aqueous solutions by adsorption processes using batch studies: A review of recent literature
TL;DR: A review of the use of chitosan and its grafted and crosslinked derivatives for dye removal from aqueous solutions can be found in this paper, which summarizes the key advances and results that have been obtained in their decolorizing application as biosorbents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cationic and anionic dye adsorption by agricultural solid wastes: A comprehensive review
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of agricultural solid wastes to remove two classes of dye, cationic and anionic dyes, was discussed and a simple comparison among cationi-and anionic dye adsorption by the same adsorbent was made, thus possibly opening the door for a better understanding of the dye-classified adaption process.

Lignin - from natural adsorbent to activated carbon: A review
TL;DR: It is indicated that lignin is relatively non-reactive and probably the component of lignocellulosic precursors primarily responsible for the microporosity of activated carbons.
