Abstract Bicomponent regenerated cellulose fibres (bRCF) have been created in a core–shell configuration from waste textiles. Textile dyeing and colouration is known to be major contributor the environmental impact of producing textiles this needs addressed for become more sustainable. Coloration bRCF here was achieved by utilizing coloured textile shell component whilst using white cotton core...

Development of nanofilters with the ability to remove toxic metal ions from effluent wastewater will be immense help leather industry. In this study, fibrous nanofilter (FNF) was prepared using microfibrillated cellulose and tea leaf microparticles blended in poly (vinyl) alcohol. FNF analysed for its efficacy hazardous metals tannery wastewater. The had promising traits tensile strength (19.24...

In this work, cellulose was successfully extracted from pineapple leaf waste by 0.75 M NaOH at 90oC and 5 HNO3 70oC for 1.5 h h, respectively. The obtained fibres, with average diameters of 150-300 nm, were converted to carboxymethyl (CMC) esterification. pure soaked in a solution mixture isopropanol 2 h. It then reacted chloroacetic acid (MCA) 60oC optimum conditions carboxymethylation found b...

Hydrogen is a valuable gas as a clean energy source and as feedstock for some industries. Therefore, demand on hydrogen production has increased considerably in recent years. Electrolysis of water, steam reforming of hydrocarbons and auto-thermal processes are well-known methods for hydrogen gas production, but not cost-effective due to high energy requirements. Biological production of hydroge...
