Proceedings of the 3rd International Congress of Applied Chemistry & Environment (ICACE 3)

This book presents the selected papers presented at the Third International Congress of Applied Chemistry & Environment (ICACE3) that took place on May 27-29, 2022. The topics of the conference covers topics from the thematic sections: (1) Environment and Climate Change; (2) Green Chemistry and Natural Substances; (3) Biobased Materials and Nanomaterials; (4) Sustainable Textiles and Clean Processes. For this edition of the conference, it is devoted to present the advantage to use annual plants and/or lignocellulose material as sources for production of fibers and/or cellulose derivatives and/or nanocellulose material with focus on their processing, properties and applications. This book benefits lecturers, students, researchers and industrialists who are working in the field of natural fiber especially in order to preserve the forest resource and to satisfy the increasing demand in pulps.

Presents the selected papers presented at the third International Congress of Applied Chemistry & Environment Comprises the latest research on the production of fibers at multi-scale Collates last techniques for preparation of cellulosic fiber and/or cellulosic derivatives as well as nanocellulose

Dr. Ramzi Khiari is a senior lecturer at the Higher Institute of Technological Studies in Ksar-Hellal (Monastir, Tunisia) in the department of Textile Engineering. He was graduated in 2005 at the National Engineering School of Monastir in the specialty of Textile Chemistry, before getting a Master degree (2007) from the same institution. Then, he performed a sandwich PhD thesis (2010) between ENIM from University of Monastir in Tunisia and Grenoble INP in France. Finally, in 2017, he has got the diploma of "Habilitation Universitaire" from University of Monastir and 2020 he has got the diploma "Habilitation à diriger des Recherches" in Grenoble INP. His research interests focus on the valorization of biomass at multi-scale levels namely: fibers, nanocellulose, lignin, hemicelluloses and their used as potential raw material in several industrial applications (Textile, papermaking, polymeric materials, composites and nanocomposites). A particular focus is given for vegetal biomass from annual plants, and particularly agricultural residues and industrial wastes. During his career, he coordinated several research projects, mainly projects with industry, and supervised various post-graduation students. He has been member of scientific committees, organizing committees and participated in national/international evaluation boards.
