Abstract
Composite flat-sheet membranes functionalized with imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) grafted to poly(vinyl alcohol)/glutaraldehyde as a catalytic layer were developed to enhance the esterification between n-butanol and acetic acid. The functionalized membranes were produced via dip-coating commercial pervaporation membranes, and two distinct Brønsted-acidic ILs with an imidazolium-based cation and different (hydrogen sulfate [HSO4]- or bromide [Br]-) anions were compared. Compact, 12 μm-thick, defect-free catalytic layers were observed on top of the pervaporation membrane supports, and the determined penetration depth of the ILs confirmed their presence in the upper part of the coating. While both ILs could significantly promote the esterification of n-butanol and acetic acid, the [HSO4]- anion catalyzed the formation of butyl acetate more effectively than [Br]--based species, resulting in yields of up to 50% over 15 h. Furthermore, the coated membranes exhibited enhanced water separation factors compared to the unfunctionalized one owing to the reduced swelling of the coated membranes accompanied with their diminished wettability.

Abstract
The efficient conversion of cellulose to high value-added products is important for the utilization of cellulose biomass. Achieving efficient cellulose hydrolysis and timely products separation is the essential target. Herein, a modified sulfonated graphene oxide/polydopamine deposited polyethersulfone (mGO(SO3H)-PDA/PES) membrane reactor, combining in the same unit a conversion effect and a separation effect, was prepared by suction filtration and subsequent polymerization and adhesion. The structure of PES membrane and deposition of PDA was regulated to sure that small molecules can pass through the membrane, while cellulose could not. As a result, the mGO(SO3H)-PDA/PES membrane realized the efficient cellulose hydrolysis and timely products separation under cross-flow circulation mode at 0.1 MPa, avoiding the further degradation of reducing sugar products. The yields of total reducing sugar (TRS) and glucose in separated hydrolysate reached 93.2 % and 85.5 %, respectively. This strategy provides potential guidance for efficient conversion of cellulose.

Abstract
Many environmental pollutants caused by uncontrolled urbanization and rapid industrial growth have provoked serious concerns worldwide. These pollutants, including toxic metals, dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, and petroleum hydrocarbons, unenviably compromise the water quality and manifest a severe menace to aquatic entities and human beings. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to acquaint bio-nanocomposites with the capability to remove and decontaminate this extensive range of emerging pollutants. Recently, considerable emphasis has been devoted to developing low-cost novel materials obtained from natural resources accompanied by minimal toxicity to the environment. One such component is cellulose, naturally the most abundant organic polymer found in nature. Given bio-renewable sources, natural abundance, and impressive nanofibril arrangement, cellulose-reinforced composites are widely engineered and utilized for multiple applications, such as wastewater decontamination, energy storage devices, drug delivery systems, paper and pulp industries, construction industries, and adhesives, etc. Environmental remediation prospective is among the fascinating application of these cellulose-reinforced composites. This review discusses the structural attributes of cellulose, types of cellulose fibrils-based nano-biocomposites, preparatory techniques, and the potential of cellulose-based composites to remediate a diverse array of organic and inorganic pollutants in wastewater.

Abstract
A catalytic composite membrane was developed for the enhancement of esterification by lyophilization for the first time. The catalytic composite membrane was composed of a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-sodium alginate (SA) separation layer and a spongy porous catalytic layer cross-linked by PVA and 4-sulfophthalic acid (SPA). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicated the successful synthesis of the catalytic composite membrane. The membrane properties were evaluated by ethanol dehydration and esterification. The conversion rate of acetic acid reached 95.9% after 12 h. Compared with batch reactions, the conversion rate increased by 24.4%. After five cycles, the membrane still maintained outstanding catalytic activity. The resistance of mass transfer was analyzed, and the results showed that the porous structure reduced the catalytic layer resistance to total resistance from 70.27 to 32.88%. The composite membrane with a spongy porous catalytic layer exhibited superior dehydration and catalytic performance.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare sulfonated graphene oxide/polyether sulfone (GO-SO3H/PES) mixed matrix membranes (GPMMMs) with high porosity and straight-through catalytic channels by segregation and used for dynamic and continuous hydrolysis of cellulose. The high porosity and segregation increased the exposure of catalysts synergistically and the formative GO-SO3H enriched, straight-through catalytic channels had higher catalytic performance, enhancing the diffusion of hydrolytic products. Dynamic hydrolysis of cellulose is more efficient than static hydrolysis due to the enhanced contact between cellulose and catalysts achieved by the extra driving forces, and the further degradation of produced saccharides was suppressed due to the high freedom of products. The TRS reached 98.18% after 1 h at 150 °C with a catalyst/cellulose mass ratio of 1:5. More importantly, the immobilization of GO-SO3H by PES improved its stability and reusability at high reaction temperature. This strategy provides guidance to the design of high-performance catalytic membranes.

Abstract
The efficient treatment of oil-water emulsions in extreme environments, such as strongly acidic and alkaline media, remains a widespread concern. Poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS)-based porous membranes with excellent resistance to chemicals and solvents are promising for settling this challenge. However, the limited hydrophilicity and the poor hydrated ability of the hydrophilic PPS (h-PPS) membranes reported in the literature prevents them from separating oil-water emulsions with high efficiency, large fluxes, and good antifouling performances. In this study, a firm rough TiO2 layer is constructed on a h-PPS membrane via electrostatic assembly to improve the surface hydrophilization. The introduction of the TiO2 layer increases the wetting selectivity and decreases the oil adhesion, which makes it capable to efficiently treat oil-in-water emulsions (efficiency > 98%). Most importantly, the underwater critical oil intrusion pressure almost doubled after the incorporation of the TiO2 layer, which allows the membrane to withstand pressurized filtration, achieving a high flux of ∼4000 L m-2 h-1. This is more than 2 orders of magnitude larger than the flux of the reported h-PPS. Furthermore, the TiO2@h-PPS membrane displays long-term stability in separating oil-water emulsions in strong acid and strong alkali, showing a promising prospect for the treatment of strongly corrosive emulsions.
