Effect of Alkali and Permanganate Treatments on Terminalia catappa Leaf Fibers: Efficient Reinforcements to Be Used in Eco-Friendly Composites. ACS OMEGA 2025; 10:14566-14580. [PMID: 40290982 PMCID: PMC12019432 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c02715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 01/11/2025] [Accepted: 01/17/2025] [Indexed: 04/30/2025]
Abstract
Natural fiber-reinforced composites could be obtained by utilizing agricultural wastes, fallen leaves, or abandoned materials as reinforcements after their usage as a way to reduce environmental impacts such as to stop deforestation, i.e., cutting down of plants and trees for their fibers, and in waste management, which includes recyling of natural wastes and minimizing the use of nonbiodegradable synthetic composites by replacing it with their natural fiber counterparts. As an outcome, leaves from a Terminalia catappa (Tc) tree grown in the Kanyakumari district that falls off in large quantities throughout the winter are gathered and examined. The leaves are treated with NaOH and KMnO4. In this investigation, all three powdered samples (raw, alkali treated, and permanganate treated Tc leaf fibers) are sent to chemical analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDAX), thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), and carbon hydrogen nitrogen sulfur (CHNS) analysis. The results of the research showed that the powdered Tc leaf samples had high levels of cellulose (≈ 50%), crystallinity index (≈ 50-65%), and crystallite size (≈ 3 nm). There are various vibrational bands associated with them. The rough surface of the raw and treated Tc powder samples and their particle size (≈ 50-100 μm), as revealed by the SEM images, might aid in good adherence with the matrix. According to EDAX and CHNS analyses, there is a high carbon content in all of the samples. The fibers have an activation energy (≈ 55-60 kJ/mol) and maximum temperature limit (≈ 500 °C) that are comparable to many other natural fibers. The density of Tc leaf fibers (≈ 0.2 g/cm3) is very low and so could be used in lightweight composite applications. The chemical treatments enhanced the qualities of Tc fibers to a certain extent. In various polymers, rubber, or concrete matrices where the inclusion of natural fiber reinforcement is desired, all three samples could function as potential reinforcements.

Abstract
Tetra pak packaging is one of the most frequently used types of packaging in the food industry. The recycling of the tetra pak packaging waste presents a difficult task because of its multi-layered, multi-component structure. In this study, the degradation of tetra pak packaging in subcritical (SubCW) and supercritical (SCW) water was investigated. The experiments were carried out in one (SCW) or two stages (SubCW and SCW), whereby the influence of the reaction temperature and time on the yield and composition of the products obtained was investigated. The maximum oil phase yield achieved in a one-stage and a two-stage degradation process was 60.7% and 65.5%, respectively. The oil and gas phases were composed of different types of hydrocarbons. Higher temperature and longer time led to higher amounts of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons in both the oil and gas phases. The aqueous phase contained sugars (glucose, fructose) and sugar derivatives (levulinic acid, glyceraldehyde, furfurals). Based on these results, the degradation pathway of waste tetra pak packaging in SubCW and SCW was proposed. The results of the study show that the degradation of waste tetra pak packaging with SubCW and SCW is a promising recycling process.

Abstract
Identifying novel cellulose fiber bio-composites has become a vital initiative in the exploration of sustainable materials due to increased global concern for the environment. This growing focus on eco-friendly materials has gathered significant attention in recent years. The current investigation deals with one such material, Helicteres isora reinforced Polylactic acid composites. Surface chemical treatment of fiber is one of the most effective methods to modify the hydrophilic fiber to increase its compatibility with the polymer matrix. Sodium hydroxide was used as a pre-treatment chemical to remove any impurities from the fiber surface. Pre-treated fibers were treated with Methacryl silane and Potassium permanganate solution to chemically modify the fiber surface. Density, void content and water absorption behavior of the composites were analyzed as per the standard procedure. Tensile and flexural tests were conducted to evaluate the mechanical strength, modulus, and flexibility of the unidirectional composites. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses were performed to investigate the thermal stability, melting behavior and degradation profiles of prepared composites. A study of failure mechanisms and morphology of the fractured surface through photographs and SEM images revealed fiber splitting and delamination as the dominant reasons behind the failure of composites under tensile loading. Silane-treated Helicteres isora fiber-reinforced Polylactic acid composite exhibited lower water absorption and higher tensile strength than its counterparts. Untreated fiber composite showed maximum flexural strength among the tested composites. By collectively evaluating the results of the tests and properties of the composites, silane-treated fiber-reinforced Polylactic acid composites stands out as the most favorable choice.

Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA), one of the pillars of the current overarching displacement trend switching from fossil- to natural-based polymers, is often used in association with polysaccharides to increase its mechanical properties. However, the use of PLA/polysaccharide composites is greatly hampered by their poor miscibility, whose underlying nature is still vastly unexplored. This work aims to shed light on the interactions of PLA and two representative polysaccharide molecules (cellulose and chitin) and reveal structure-property relationships from a fundamental perspective using atomistic molecular dynamics. Our computational strategy was able to reproduce key experimental mechanical properties of pure and/or composite materials, reveal a decrease in immiscibility in PLA/chitin compared to PLA/cellulose associations, assert PLA-oriented polysaccharide reorientations, and explore how less effective PLA-polysaccharide hydrogen bonds are related to the poor PLA/polysaccharide miscibility. The connection between the detailed chemical interactions and the composite behavior found in this work is beneficial to the discovery of new biodegradable and natural polymer composite mixtures that can provide needed performance characteristics.

Abstract
The applicability of chitin-based carbon as a supercapacitor electrode material was investigated by adjusting its pore structure through polystyrene latex templating, without significant N doping. 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy (TEMPO)-oxidized chitin nanofibers were mixed with polystyrene latex, hydrothermally treated at 220 °C, carbonized, and activated using KOH at 800 °C, yielding activated hierarchical porous carbon. The variation of both polystyrene latex amount and carbonization temperature resulted in changes in the surface area and pore structure, which dictated the degree of pore uniformity and activation efficiency. The pore structure affected activation by allowing the selective removal of amorphous carbon, exposing the basal plane carbon, resulting in higher specific capacitance. By making activated hierarchical porous carbon more conducive to activation, specific capacitance of 567 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 was achieved, with no loss in performance after 10000 charge-discharge cycles.

Abstract
Abundant, environmentally friendly, and sustainable lignocellulose is a promising feedstock for replacing fossil fuels, and hydrothermal liquefaction is an effective technology to convert it into liquid fuels and high-value chemicals. This review summarizes and discusses the reaction mechanism, main influence factor and the production application of hydrothermal liquefaction. Particular attention has been paid to the reaction mechanism of the structural components of lignocellulose, i.e., cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. In addition, the influence factors including types of lignocellulose, temperature, heating rate, retention time, pressure, solid-to-liquid ratio, and catalyst are discussed in detail. The limitations in the hydrothermal liquefaction of lignocellulose and the prospects are proposed. This provides deep knowledge for understanding the process as well as the development of advanced products from lignocellulose.

Abstract
In this work, hydrothermal leaching was applied to simulated soils (clay minerals vermiculite, montmorillonite, and kaolinite) and actual soils (Terunuma, Japan) to generate organic acids with the objective to develop an additive-free screening method for determination of Sr in soil. Stable strontium (SrCl2) was adsorbed onto soils for the study, and ten organic acids (citric, L(+)-tartaric, succinic, oxalic, pyruvic, formic, glycolic, lactic, acetic, and propionic) were evaluated for leaching Sr from simulated soils under hydrothermal conditions (120 °C to 200 °C) at concentrations up to 0.3 M. For strontium-adsorbed vermiculite (Sr-V), 0.1 M citric acid was found to be effective for leaching Sr at 150 °C and 1 h treatment time. Based on these results, the formation of organic acids from organic matter in Terunuma soil was studied. Hydrothermal treatment of Terunuma soil produced a maximum amount of organic acids at 200 °C and 0.5 h reaction time. To confirm the possibility for leaching of Sr from Terunuma soil, strontium-adsorbed Terunuma soil (Sr-S) was studied. For Sr-S, hydrothermal treatment at 200 °C for 0.5 h reaction time allowed 40% of the Sr to be leached at room temperature, thus demonstrating an additive-free method for screening of Sr in soil. The additive-free hydrothermal leaching method avoids calcination of solids in the first step of chemical analysis and has application to both routine monitoring of metals in soils and to emergency situations.

Abstract
This work aims to study the product characteristics of cellulose degradation not only by a hydrothermal process but also in combination with a sonication process. Herein, 4.3 mL of oxalic acid (H2C2O4)-sodium chloride (NaCl) solution containing cellulose was placed into a stainless steel reactor (or the mixture was placed into the reactor after the sonication process for 1 hour); then, carbon dioxide (CO2) was released for pressurization. Degradation was performed under certain pressures (70 and 200 bar) and temperatures (125 °C and 200 °C) at various times. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) results indicated that the sonication pretreatment process affected the solid cellulose, making it rougher or fibrous than the non-sonicated process. XRD characterization results indicated that both process types caused changes in the crystallinity and composition of cellulose I and II with pressure, temperature, and time. The combination of sonication and hydrothermal processes resulted in lower crystallinity. Changes in crystallinity showed different characteristics in swelling, reduced the interaction between chains, and even broke the polymer chains inside the particles. In a hydrothermal process at 200 bar and 200 °C, a maximum reducing sugar concentration of 5.1 g L-1 was obtained, while 3.2 g L-1 was obtained in the combined sonication and hydrothermal process under the same operating condition, which is below the value attained at 200 °C and 70 bar. These results indicated the existing competition between the formation and further degradation of the reducing sugar, a phenomenon explained by the presence of a monomer (reducing sugar), an oligomer (cellotriose), and 5-HMF (5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde) in a liquid product processed under hydrothermal conditions.

Abstract
Carbon monoliths with a unique hierarchical surface structure from carbonized cellulose nanofibers were synthesized in pursuit of developing carbon materials from sustainable natural resources. Through a 2-step hydrothermal - carbonization method, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers were turned into carbon-rich hydrochar embedded with polystyrene latex as template for 80 nm-sized pores in a honeycomb pattern, while the triblock copolymer Pluronic F-127 was used for a dual purpose not reported before: (1) an interface between the cellulose nanofibers and polystyrene particles, as well as (2) act as a secondary template as ∼1 μm micelles that form hollow carbon spheres. The use of nanofibers allowed more contact between the carbon spheres to coalesce into a working monolith while optimizing the pore structure. Oil-water separation studies have shown that carbon monoliths have high adsorption capacity due to surface area and hydrophobicity. Testing against commercially available activated carbon pellets show greater performance due to highly-developed macropores.

Hydrothermal processing of a green seaweed Ulva sp. for the production of monosaccharides, polyhydroxyalkanoates, and hydrochar. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 318:124263. [PMID: 33099101 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2020.124263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 10/09/2020] [Accepted: 10/11/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In the fermentation and bioenergy industry, terrestrial biomass is usually fractionated and the collected components, such as starch, are processed separately. Such a separation has not been reported for seaweeds. In this work, the direct hydrothermal processing of the whole green seaweed Ulva sp. biomass is compared to processing of separated starch and cellulose, to find the preferable route for monosaccharide, hydrochar, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production. Glucose was the major released monosaccharide. A significant share of the glucose yield comes from the starch fraction. The highest hydrochar yield with the lowest ash content was obtained from the separated cellulose fraction. The highest PHA yield was obtained using a whole Ulva sp. hydrolysate fermentation with Haloferaxmediterranei. Economic analysis shows the advantage of direct Ulva sp. biomass fermentation to PHA. The co-production of glucose and hydrochar does not add significant economic benefits to the process under plausible prices of the two outputs.

Abstract
The growing importance of bio-based products, combined with the desire to decrease the production of wastes, boosts the necessity to use wastes as raw materials for bio-based products. A waste material with a large potential is spent sugar beets, which are mainly used as animal feeds or fertilizers. After hydrothermal treatment, the produced chars exhibited an H/C ratio of 1.2 and a higher heating value of 22.7 MJ/kg, which were similar to that of subbituminous coal and higher than that of lignite. Moreover, the treatment of 25 g/L of glucose and 22 g/L of fructose by heating up to 160 °C led to a possible application of spent sugar beets for the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. In the present study, the maximum concentration of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was 3.4 g/L after heating up to 200 °C.

Abstract
The aim of the work was the optimization of the subcritical water extraction process of chestnut bark using Box–Behnken response surface methodology. The influence of process parameters, such as temperature, extraction time and solvent-solid ratio, on extraction yield, yield of the main compounds, total phenol content, total tannin content and antioxidant activity has been investigated. The identified compounds were ellagic and gallic acids, ellagitannins (vescalagin, castalagin, 1-o-galloyl castalagin, vescalin and castalin), sugars (maltose, glucose, fructose and arabinose) and sugar derivatives (5-HMF, furfural and levulinic acid). Finally, the optimal process conditions for obtaining the bark extract highly rich in ellagic acid and with satisfactory levels of total phenols and total tannins have been determined.

Abstract
Conversion of biomass cellulose to value-added chemicals and fuels is one of the most important advances of green chemistry stimulated by needs of industry. Here we discuss modern trends in the development of catalysts for two processes of cellulose conversion: (i) hydrolytic hydrogenation with the formation of hexitols and (ii) hydrogenolysis, leading to glycols. The promising strategies include the use of subcritical water which facilitates hydrolysis, bifunctional catalysts which catalyze not only hydrogenation, but also hydrolysis, retro-aldol condensation, and isomerization, and pretreatment (milling) of cellulose together with catalysts to allow an intimate contact between the reaction components. An important development is the replacement of noble metals in the catalysts with earth-abundant metals, bringing down the catalyst costs, and improving the environmental impact.
