ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

This study investigates the bleaching potential of date palm tree leaves and TMP Eucalyptus pulp, using polyoxometalate (POM)-based catalysts. Several classes of POMs were evaluated in hydrogen peroxide-mediated systems. Analyses confirmed the efficiency of POMs, catalysts showing superior bleaching performance, compared to the classical bleaching sequences. The method demonstrates high potential for sustainable biomass processing.
