Wastewater treatment
A fully biobased layer-by-layer deposition method, containing kraft lignin and chitosan as the polyelectrolytes, was employed to improve the anti-fouling properties of polyethersulfone membrane. Results revealed that the water in air contact angle decreased from 70° ± 2° for the pristine membrane...Read more
The cultivation of Penicillium strain, isolated from rotten vegetables, on potatoe dextrose broth (PDB) medium enriched in arginine and mineral elements, allowed to obtain a yield of 31.7 mg/g of dry biomass and 9 mg/g of dry biomass into chitin and natural chitosan, respectively. The infrared...Read more
