Oil spill sorption using carbonized pith bagasse. Application of carbonized pith bagasse as loose fiber

by

Hussein M., Amer A.A and Sawsan I.I.

Issue 4

General

Recent oil tanker accidents in the sea are very serious, not only since they pollute the environment but also because they release heavy oil. The preparation of activated carbon from agricultural waste increases economic return and reduces pollution. On carbonized fibers, sorption capacity for...

Characterization of packaging grade papers from recycled raw materials through the study of fibre morphology and composition

by

Adamopoulos S., Martinez E. and Ramirez D.

Issue 1

General

The restrictions in availability of forest-based raw materials along with favourable environmental policies towards alternative sources of raw materials have forced corrugated packaging industry to shift towards recycled paper and other fibre sources such as non-wood and agro-residues. The...
