Abstract Industrialization increases the number of heavy metals released into environment. Lead (Pb 2+ ), nickel (Ni ) and chromium (Cr 6+ are among these toxic cause irreversible effects on ecosystems human health due to their bio-accumulative potential. The decontamination through adsorption processes using lignocellulosic wastes from agricultural and/or forestry is a viable solution. Hence, ...

Herein, we report the performance of some low-cost biosorbents developed by environment-friendly modification walnut shells. Two types were prepared ecological shell surfaces: (1) obtained hot water treatment (WSH2O) and (2) produced mercerization (WSNaOH). Different techniques used to evaluate morphological, elemental, structural biosorbents, comparison with raw materials. These characterizati...

Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis is an important pathogen responsible for walnut blight outbreaks globally. Here, we report four draft genome sequences of X. arboricola pv. juglandis strains isolated from Chilean walnut trees.

The chestnut shell from the Amazon region shared between Colombia, Brazil, and Perú is an abundant residue of walnut used for obtaining food cosmetic products. This not yet usable due to lack knowledge its properties environmental impact generated by treatment through methods such as mercerization. work presents results characterization residues treated two methods, mercerization with NaOH solu...

Walnut, Juglans regia L., is known for its insecticidal activities to a range of herbivores and microbes. Isolation and identification of bioactive compounds from walnut is a potential approach for the development of new pesticides. Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the acaricidal activities of green husk extracts of walnut. Bioassay-guided fractionation of petroleum-ether ...

Polyvinyl ester green composites were synthesized with walnut shell powder (WSP) by in-situ polymerization technique. The green composites have been evaluated for mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and hardness. Sliding wear loss, specific wear rate and coefficient of friction were investigated by using computerized pin-on–disc machine at normal applied loads of 20,...

Epidemiological studies suggest that the incidence of CVD and postmenopausal osteoporosis is low in the Mediterranean area, where herbs and nuts, among others, play an important role in nutrition. In the present study, we sought a role of walnuts (Juglans regia L.) in endothelial and bone-cell function. As the endothelial cell expression of adhesion molecules has been recognised as an early ste...
