...Khaled Mostafa; Azza El-Sanabary Graphical abstract Purpose The purpose of this paper is to convert rice straw bio-waste material into value-added products that are cost-effective, sustainable, biodegradable and durable. These products serve as alternatives to materials derived from natural...

...Khaled Mostafa; Khaled Elnagar; Azza El-Sanabary Purpose This study aims to describe the conversion of rice straw (RS) as an agricultural plant waste to high-performance cationic flocculant for kaolin clay suspension in wastewater treatment as an alternative to synthetic ones. Design...

... of rice straw via investigating the effect of our previously prepared green copper lignin/silica/fatty acids complex (Cu-LSF complex) on EPDM composites, following the same trend as our previous work (Abdel Zaher et al., 2018 ; Abdel Zaher et al., 2014 ; Othman et al., 2021...

...). A standard, low-cost, reinforcing filler for rubber composites is silica. As both lignin and silica can be obtained from biomass wastes, it would be economically beneficial to the rubber industry to identify a single source for these valuable additives. Rice straw is a lignocellulosic material which...

... of a low-cost urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesive for production of rice straw (RS) composites complying with both the standard specifications of particle-board type and the board produced from using conventional adhesive of RS fibers (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, MDI). The results are supported...

...Altaf H. Basta; Houssni El‐Saied; Vivian F. Lotfy Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the possibility of preparing high performance, agro‐based composites from rice straw, using eco‐polyalcohol polymers‐based adhesive system. The utilization of rice straw (undesirable biowastes...
