The evidence supporting an (ad)sorption-controlled mechanism was plausibly explained using analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential, and scanning electron microscopy analyses. Comprehensive data offer insights into material fabrication, interface dynamics, and the influence of quality factors in both gas and liquid environments. Holistic understanding of the reaction mechanism and interfacial interaction of biogenic derivative of CACs on iodine and sunlight-boosted uptake of methylene blue (MB) dye was also investigated. A series of experiments were carried out where iodine molecules mixed with solid/solvent were tested with solid CAC for the reaction, leading to an excellent accumulation (613 mg/g). Kinetically controlled reaction mechanism yielded pseudo second order rate constants, signifying that the rate limiting step could be the chemisorptions of iodine onto CAC. Furthermore, the (ad)sorption capacities were found to be 25.28 mg/g and 22.62 mg/g for sunlight and dark conditions, respectively, modeled via the Langmuir-Freundlich equation (R<sup>2</sup> ≈1) for MB during a 2-hour period.

This gradient distribution of vascular bundles leads to the variability of the mechanical properties of bamboo in the longitudinal direction, which seriously threatens the reliability of bamboo matrix composites<strong>.</strong> Bamboo scrimber, a novel bamboo-based composite, is particularly sensitive to this variability, necessitating the use of conservative safety factors and thereby limiting its broader application. In this study, bamboo culms were segmented into three equal sections—bottom, middle, and top—to fabricate bamboo scrimber with consistent density and resin content. This approach aimed to investigate how the longitudinal parts influence the properties of bamboo scrimber. The investigations revealed that structural differences in longitudinal parts of bamboo significantly impacts the properties of bamboo scrimber. In terms of mechanical performance, no notable differences in shear properties were observed across the different sections. However, bamboo scrimber derived from the bottom section (BS-bottom) showed lowest bending and compressive strength compared to that from the middle (BS-middle) and top sections (BS-top). This variation in mechanical properties was correlated with the distribution of vascular bundles in each section. Regarding hygroscopicity, bamboo scrimber demonstrated consistent performance despite variations in lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose content among the sections. This consistency is attributed to the uniformity in group types and crystal structure across the bamboo scrimber, which minimized differences in moisture absorption. Water resistance tests revealed that the BS-top had the highest water absorption and dimensional expansion, likely due to the higher residual rate of bamboo yellow in the oriented bamboo fiber mat, which reduced the bonding strength within the bamboo scrimber. These findings provide essential data for minimizing variability in bamboo scrimber properties and informs the hierarchical utilization of bamboo, thereby enhancing its application potential.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"232 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, separating and enriching these chemicals are vital for unlocking the full therapeutic potential of saffron including its pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications. One effective method for this target is using macroporous adsorption resins, which offer a cost-effective approach with a high capacity for isolating the desired molecules. In this study, various macroporous polystyrene/divinylbenzene (SDVB) based resins, including HP-20, LXA-10, LXA-8302, and LX-68, were studied to separate and enrich crocins and picrocrocin from the saffron extract.

The maximum adsorption capacity and percentage for crocins were 262.1 mg. g<sup>−1</sup> and 91.3 %, respectively, while for picrocrocin, they were 267.7 mg. g<sup>−1</sup> and 83.1 %.
