Chemical Exploitation of Agricultural Residues as Novel Materials for Industrial Use

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper reviewed how the major products were obtained from agricultural residues, particularly from cereal straws. The emphasis is on the new technologies of chemical exploitation of cereal straws as novel materials for industries such as productions of cellulose and hemicellulose, cosmetics, natural sorbents in oil spill cleanup, and natural sorbents for removals of metal ions and anionic dyes from industrial waste water.
