چکیده
Concentrations of cellulose, lignin and nutrients in the stemwood of four clones of 7-year-old hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. x P. tremuloides Michx.) were studied on 50 permanent experimental plots established for the afforestation of abandoned agricultural lands in Estonia. Quantitative evaluation of hybrid aspen chemical components indicated a relatively high cellulose and low acid-insoluble lignin concentration, and especially a high C/L ratio, compared to other poplar species. Regression analyses showed strong relationships between stemwood N, P, K, cellulose and lignin concentrations, but no dependence on soil chemical composition was established. Height, diameter and annual increment were strongly dependent on stemwood N, K and P. Based on the results obtained, clones of hybrid aspen appear as economically promising for the afforestation of abandoned agricultural lands, in large-scale, short-rotation commercial plantations, for pulpwood and bioenergy production.

Dissolution and Regeneration of the Produced Nano Bacterial Cellulose of Food Industries Wastewaters by a Cost-Benefit Method
This paper applied a simple and cost-benefit method for the production of regenerated bacterial cellulose. The inexpensive production of cellulose with complex media derived from wastewater from food industries such as molasses adds a lot of contaminants to the produced bacterial cellulose, which puts a lot of challenges in cellulose purification. Therefore, the present study aimed...

In this study, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) was prepared and meso-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (TNPP) was immobilized on it. The product was identified by techniques of UV-Vis, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy (DRS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of an amount of a loaded porphyrin comp...
