Sustainable solutions for environmental restoration are crucial due to the increasing release of toxic substances in the ecosystem. The adsorption capacity to remove acridine red from an aqueous solution was investigated using the hydrochar of the spent mushroom substrate, which was obtained by the process of hydrothermal carbonization at a m...

 There is a growing interest in the use of biopolymers for obtaining biodegradable packaging with the addition of green components. The aim of this paper is to develop films based on cellulose acetate and polycaprolactone-diol intended for active packaging by adding biocompatible plasticizers. The films were obtained by solution casting method...

 In this study, the chemical activation hydrochar of the spent mushroom substrate was used to examine its potential for application as a sorbent in order to remove Pb2+ from aqueous solutions. The hydrocar was prepared in a hydrothermal reactor at a temperature of 200 °C for a reaction time of 1 h. It was then chemically modified with 20 %...
