Synthesis of Lignin Nanoparticles Using CO2-Responsive Amines and Film Applications

The development of new lignin-based materials has become a very attractive alternative for researchers due to the particular properties that these can offer and their potential applications. Lignin is biosourced, abundant, biodegradable and renewable, for those reasons, it is an appealing feedstock from which to make materials for diverse applications in diverse fields. Lignin-based nanoparticles may offer properties and morphologies that differ from those of more conventional materials.

Valorization of agro-industrial waste through the extraction of silica for use in catalytic applications involved in CO2 capture

The goal of this research was to develop advanced silica materials from rice husk ash. A renewable and abundant agro-industrial waste that causes problems of accumulation and final disposal in the environment. Using extraction and synthesis methods, nanometric silica was produced. This silica was then used as a support material for nickel-based catalysts applied in CO2 hydrogenation reactions.This silica was then used as a support material for the development of nickel-based catalysts applied in CO2 hydrogenation reactions.
