Removal of trivalent chromium from aqueous solutions by natural clays: Valorization of saturated adsorbents as raw materials in ceramic manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2023)
Kaolinite/illite (KUb) and sepiolite (SEP) clays were used to study Cr(III) adsorption removal from aqueous solutions so that they could be utilized after saturation for ceramic manufacturing. SEP had a larger specific ...
Amyloid-like aggregation influenced by lead(II) and cadmium(II) ions in hen egg white ovalbumin
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
The aggregation of proteins into fibrillar, amyloid-like aggregates generally results in an improved, positive effect on various techno-functional properties within food products, such as gelation, emulsification, and foam ...
Novel eco-friendly initiation system based on vitamin C for energy efficient synthesis of PMAA hydrogel used for delivery of phenolic compounds
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
This study reports successful free radical synthesis of pH-sensitive hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) by using new green initiation system based on vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide (VC/H2O2). The application ...
Effect of chemical modifications and coating with Cu-based nanoparticles on the electro-physical properties of jute fabrics in a condition of high humidity
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
The electro-physical properties of raw, alkali and oxidatively modified jute fabrics were investigated as complex phenomena of the interactions between the fabrics’ chemical composition, carboxyl group content, crystallinity, ...
The Effect of Nanofibrillated Tempo-oxidized Cotton Linters on the Strength and Optical Properties of Paper
(Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022)
This study elaborates the application of composite films based on nanofibrillated cellulose obtained from cotton linters oxidized in the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)/NaBr/NaClO system, with the use ...
Capillary rise and sorption ability of hemp fibers oxidized by non-selective oxidative agents: hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate
(Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022)
In this paper, the capillary rise and sorption ability of hemp fibers oxidized with hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate were studied, with the aim to get more insight into the changes in the structure of hemp ...
Extending waste paper, cellulose and filler use beyond recycling by entering the circular economy creating cellulose-CaCO3 composites reconstituted from ionic liquid
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2022)
Cellulose-fibre lifecycle is severely limited within today’s recycling methodology. Feedstock cellulose and filler abound in products considered uneconomic, unsuitable for standard deinking or too weak for original product ...
Synthesis and characterization of novel eco-epoxy adhesives based on the modified tannic acid for self-healing joints
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022)
The aim of this research was to investigate the self-healing potential of damaged Al joints when bonded using novel eco-epoxide adhesives derived from tannic acid (TA). Two eco-epoxy components based on TA, (A) glycidyl ...
Steroid-based tracing of sewage-sourced pollution of river water and wastewater treatment efficiency: Dissolved and suspended water phase distribution
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
In this work, the environmental distribution of steroid compounds and the level of sewage-derived contamination were assessed using sterol ratios in the confluence area of two major rivers in the Serbian capital, where raw ...
Sustainable non-woven sorbents based on jute post-industrial waste for cleaning of oil spills
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Intensified oil exploitation accompanied with frequent oil spills having a detrimental impact on ecosystems are seeking efficient, environmentally and economically feasible solutions. In an attempt to develop an efficient, ...
