Ss. Stavitskaya et al., Sorption characteristics of "food fibers" in secondary products of processing of vegetable raw materials, RUS J AP CH, 74(4), 2001, pp. 592-595
Some structural-sorption characteristics of a series of secondary products
(wastes) obtained in processing of vegetable raw materials, such as wheat s
traw, buckwheat peel, sunflower husk, and beet pulp, containing fibrous cel
lulose skeleton ("food fibers"), were determined. The effect of chemical an
d mechanochemical modification of these products on the characteristics of
their pore structure and sorption activity with respect to organic substanc
es, heavy metal ions, and Sr-90 radionuclides was studied.
