A First Process-Oriented Characterization of Eriolobus trilobatus (Labill. ex P...
Șen, Umut; Yücedağ, Cengiz; Balcı, Büşra; Arıcı, Şefik; Koçar, Günnur; Şat, Beyza; Viegas, Catarina; Gonçalves, Margarida; Miranda, IsabelFor the first time, Eriolobus trilobatus bark from Turkey has been characterized in terms of its chemical, extractive, fuel, and ash characteristics using SEM–EDS, wet chemical analysis, phenolic analysis, FT-IR, TGA, XRF, XRD, BET surface area measurement, proximate analysis, and ash fusion temperature (AFT) determination. The results showed that the bark contains 13% ash, dominated by calcium oxalate, and 15%...
Bark-based biorefineries: anatomical and chemical characterization of the bark ...
Şen, Ali Umut; Simões, Rita; Yücedağ, Cengiz; Quilhó, Teresa; Sousa, Vicelina; Miranda, Isabel M.; Fernandes, Ângela; Pereira, HelenaThe detailed anatomical and chemical features of the bark from endemic Quercus vulcanica in Turkey are reported here for the first time and discussed in the perspective of integration into a bark-based biorefinery system. The bark of Q. vulcanica trees was collected and studied through observations using light and scanning electron microscopy, wet-chemical analysis, inorganic elemental and FTIR analyses, GC-MS ...
Biochemical characterization and fuel properties of endemic taurus flowering as...
Şen, Ali Umut; Simões, Rita; Yücedağ, Cengiz; Miranda, Isabel M.; Fernandes, Ângela; Pereira, HelenaTaurus flowering ash (Fraxinus ornus subsp. cilicica) is an endemic tree species in Turkey. The bark of the species was characterized for summative chemical composition, the monomeric composition of polysaccharides, phenolic content, in vitro and ex vivo antioxidant properties of hydrophilic extracts, the composition of lipophilic extractives and suberin, and thermal degradation. The bark has an elevated ash co...
