Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Cellulase from Oil Palm Biomass as Substrate by Solid State BioconversionMd. Z. Alam, Nurdina Muhammad, Mohd E. MahmatSolid state bioconversion (SSB) of lignocellulosic material oil palm biomass (OPB) generated from palm oil industries as waste was conducted by evaluating the enzyme production through filamentous fungus in lab-scale experiment. OPB in the form of empty fruit bunches (EFB) was used as the solid substrate and treated with the fungus Trichoderma harzianum to produce cellulase. The results presented in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Influence of Trichoderma viride Cellulase Enzyme Concentration on Saccharification of Waste Paper MaterialsKhomotso M. P. Mokatse, M. Alfred Mogale, J. Pieter H. Van WykEnzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials is one of the major steps in the commercialization process of converting cellulosic substrates into bio-products. The saccharification of lignocellulosic materials is usually achieved by a synergistic action of an enzyme mixture consisting of multiple cellulase enzymes such as endo-and exo-glucanase, cellobiohydrolase and β-glucosidase with different mode of actions. During the enzymatic hydrolysis of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2021 · 6,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFrom Plastic Waste to Building Material: Mechanical Properties of Recycled Thermoplastic TimberMonica Valdés, Nicoletta Trulli, Barbara De NicoloThe present paper illustrates the mechanical properties of a new structural product called Recycled Thermoplastic Timber (RTT), manufactured in Sardinia (Italy) and made of recycled plastics. The preliminary results of an experimental campaign aimed at assessing the main mechanical and physical properties of RTT are presented and discussed. Unreinforced and steel-reinforced thermoplastic timber profiles have been tested in laboratory and … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2018 · 13,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordGlomalin Production and Microbial Activity in Soils Impacted by Gypsum Mining in a Brazilian Semiarid AreaAdalia Cavalcanti do Espírito Santo Mergulhao, Helio Almeida Burity, Fabio Sérgio Barbosa da Silva et al.Problem statement: Mining activities involve the removal of the vegetal cover and the soil organic layer, causing a severe environmental impact. In Northeast Brazil, 40% of the world’s crude gypsum is found in a semiarid area, making this region responsible for 95% of the gypsum demand in the national market. Although economically important, this activity is harmful to the environment. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2010 · 9,023 accessesView PDFCite
