“…sugarcane bagasse, which is frequently utilized as raw material for the reactive [21] stated that lignocellulose generally denotes to the secondary cell wall tissue of plants and that the shape of the sugarcane bagasse cell is simplified as a 3D cuboid with a slab shape cell wall. Sugarcane bagasse fiber length is reported to vary from 120 to 160 µm [22][23]. The thickness of the slab material in this simulation was set to 4 mm and the cross sectional area of the slab, perpendicular to the x-axis (cm 2 ), was 4 cm 2 .…”

Reactive extraction is gaining higher attention due its wide application in various solute separation processes. Here, a mathematical model of reactive extraction in slab has been proposed. The model was developed by considering simultaneous processes of active compound intra particle diffusion, second order elemental reaction of soluteactive compound, and intra-particle product diffusion. The obtained partial differential equations (PDEs) were solved using Finite Difference Approximation (FDA) method by using realistic parameters. Concentration profile as well as product yield were evaluated as a function of time. As a result, the model proposed here may serve as a basis design for reactive extraction unit. Sensitivity analyses was conducted to inspect the influence of slab thickness, diffusivity and reaction rate constant to the product yield. Eventually, model validation was conducted by comparing the simulation results with analytical solutions for special cases. Validation results showed that the model gave good agreement with the analytical solution.

“…In this group, sugarcane fibers take a prominent place in many applications due to the massive worldwide production (Figure 7). Sugarcane is one of the most abundant crops in many countries, being their main feedstock of sugar and ethanol production [35]. Sugarcane bagasse is a fibrous remaining residue (up to ~ 223 million tons/year) of cane stalks after the crushing and extraction of the juice in the sugar production industry.…”

“…Continuous development in design and production and evaluation of natural fiber composite have generated the need for previous processing steps before composite manufacturing. These modifications seek to improve mechanical properties, reductions of structural defects ensuring proper durability, reliability and cost reduction [35]. In general, the processing technics applied for neat polymer are also applied in polymer composites.…”

Even some natural resources, considered as waste, can be used for manufacturing a lot of products with enhanced sustainable properties, such as cellulosic bagasse. In this review was performed in order to gather state of the art about natural fibers structure, properties, and applications in polymer composites reinforcement, giving an approach of bagasse sugarcane fibers. The literature was done in different scientific databases;more than 50 papers wereanalyzed. The vegetable fibersare an extensive and multipurpose group, bagasse sugarcane fibers emerge as a remarkable renewable resource, due to their suitable properties and a large amount of available resources worldwide. Nevertheless, this kind of products require the use of adequacy physical and chemical treatments in order to achieve an adequate proper interaction with polymer matrices, additionally, other characteristics as the geometry and fiber content can influence the performance as reinforcements in composite materials.

Green Material Prospects for Passive Evaporative Cooling Systems: Geopolymers

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Passive cooling techniques have been used mostly in countries with hot and arid climates such as Iran, Egypt, and India. However, the use of this important technology has not been seriously considered until a time of energy crisis, and consequently, environmental crisis scenarios, emerge. Scholars have renewed their interest in investigating passive cooling technology, particularly the aspects of new materials, thermal comfort, energy efficiency, new designs, climate, and environmental considerations. This review paper highlights the opportunities to use green materials, such as geopolymers, as evaporative cooling materials with different types of industrial and agricultural waste products as components. Novel ideas for passive cooling design using ancient and nature-inspired concepts are also presented to promote green technology for future applications.
