Abstract The entry of heavy metals due to industrial activities into the environment is one major problems in this century. Nickel and chromium(VI) are toxin elements that used various industries. In study, lignocellulose nanofiber was purchased from Nano-Novin Polymer Company (Gorgan, Iran) as an adsorbent for removal nickel ions aqueous solutions a batch system. effects pH, initial concentrat...

Lignocellulosic biomass is a complex network of polymers making up the cell walls of plants. It represents a feedstock of sustainable resources to be converted into fuels, chemicals, and materials. Because of its complex architecture, lignocellulose is a recalcitrant material that requires some pretreatments and several types of catalysts to be transformed efficiently. Gaining more knowledge in...

Boreal forests contain an estimated 28% of the world’s soil carbon, and currently act as a significant global carbon sink. Plant-derived lignocellulose is a major component of soil carbon, and its decomposition is dependent on soil bacteria and fungi. In order to predict the fate of this soil carbon and its potential feedbacks to climate change, the identities, activity, and interactions of soi...

Thermal energy transport is of great importance in lignocellulose pyrolysis for biofuels. The thermophysical properties of lignocellulose significantly affect the overall properties of bio-composites and the related thermal transport. In this work, cell-scale lignocellulose (mono-layer plant cells) is prepared to characterize their thermal properties from room temperature down to ∼ 40 K. The th...
