  Structural Modification of Sugarcane Bagasse using Alkaline, Acid, and Bleaching Pretreatments for Enhanced Yield of Poly (1→4)-β-D-glucopyranose (Cellulose) and Hemicellulose for Utilization as Biocomposites

  By Tripti Tripathi, Shravan Kumar, S.V.A.R. Sastry

  Abstract: Sugarcane bagasse, a lignocellulosic byproduct generated in substantial quantities by the sugar industry, represents a promising feedstock for the sustainable production of enzymes and bio-based chemicals. Its high (1→4)-β-D-glucopyranose (cellulose) content, abundant availability, and low cost make it an ideal candidate for bioconversion processes. However, the inherent recalcitrance of bagasse, primarily due to its lignin-rich matrix, necessitates effective pretreatment strategies to enhance enzymatic digestibility. This study presents a comparative investigation …

  Comparative Evaluation of Dodders, Giloy, Onion Peels and Fruit Waste-Prepared Composite Biochar Polymeric Adsorbent (CBPA) For Use in Wastewater Treatment

  By Mansi Tiwari, Teekshn Tripathi, Vivek Tiwari, S.V.A.R. Sastry

  Abstract: Due to pollutants that have a negative impact on water bodies, wastewater treatment has attracted a lot of attention throughout the years. In many developing countries domestic and industrial wastewater treatment plants are lacking or not working efficiently for detergents due to the refractory nature of such chemicals. Generally the industrial wastewater is directly discharged into the existing water bodies (drains, nallahs etc.) after primary settling tanks. These refractory contaminants …
