Abstract
In this study, a composite bearing titanium carbide (TiC), titanium dioxide (TiO2), polyvinyl alcohol and xylan (TiC@C-anatase/rutile@polyvinyl alcohol/xylan) was synthesized and applied as a photocatalyst for the degradation of bromophenol blue (BPB) solution through several steps. Nanostructure of TiC and TiO2 in the anatase and rutile phases was obtained through heat treatment of TiC at different times and temperatures (TiC@AR) which led to a reduction in energy bandgap from UV to visible light, in addition to the enhancement of the surface activity. After TiC@AR polymerization by xylan and polyvinyl alcohol and obtaining TiC@AR/PX, the energy bandgap reduced to IR range (52% of the sunlight) while showing an enhancement in the surface activity. The photocatalytic activity of the compounds was tested by studying the decomposition of BPB solution under visible light. The result illustrated the ability of TiC and TiC@AR to decrease the concentration of BPB after 150 min by 35% and 37%, respectively, while this reduction was 72% for TiC@AR/PX. Considering the effective parameters, the energy bandgap and the surface layer played key roles in photocatalytic degradation.

A novel way to facilely degrade organic pollutants with the tail-gas derived from PHP (phosphoric acid plus hydrogen peroxide) pretreatment of lignocellulose. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127517. [PMID: 34688009 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2021] [Revised: 09/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The abundantly released tail-gas from lignocellulose pretreatment with phosphoric acid plus hydrogen peroxide (PHP) was found to accelerate the aging of latex/silicone textural accessories of the pretreatment device. Inspired by this, tail-gas was utilized to control organic pollutants. Methylene blue (MB), as a model pollutant, was rapidly decolorized by the tail-gas, and oxidative degradation was substantially proven by full-wavelength scanning with a UV-visible spectrometer. The tail-gas from six typical lignocellulosic feedstocks produced 68.0-98.3% MB degradation, suggesting its wide feedstock compatibility. Three other dyes, including rhodamine B, methyl orange and malachite green, obtained 97.5-99.5% degradation; moreover, tetracycline, resorcinol and hexachlorobenzene achieved 73.8-93.7% degradation, suggesting a superior pollutant compatibility. In a cytotoxicity assessment, the survival rate of the degraded MB was 103.5% compared with 80.4% for the untreated MB, implying almost no cytotoxicity after MB degradation. Mechanism investigations indicated that the self-exothermic reaction in PHP pretreatment drove the self-generated peroxy acids into tail-gas. Moreover, it heated the pollutant solution and thermally activated peroxy acids as free radicals for efficient pollutant degradation. Here, a brand-new technique for degrading organic pollutants with a "Win-Win-Win" concept was purposed for lignocellulose valorization, pollutant control by waste tail-gas, and biofuel production.

Self-generated peroxyacetic acid in phosphoric acid plus hydrogen peroxide pretreatment mediated lignocellulose deconstruction and delignification. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS 2021; 14:224. [PMID: 34823568 PMCID: PMC8614055 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-021-02075-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peroxyacetic acid involved chemical pretreatment is effective in lignocellulose deconstruction and oxidation. However, these peroxyacetic acid are usually artificially added. Our previous work has shown that the newly developed PHP pretreatment (phosphoric acid plus hydrogen peroxide) is promising in lignocellulose biomass fractionation through an aggressive oxidation process, while the information about the synergistic effect between H3PO4 and H2O2 is quite lack, especially whether some strong oxidant intermediates is existed. In this work, we reported the PHP pretreatment system could self-generate peroxyacetic acid oxidant, which mediated the overall lignocellulose deconstruction, and hemicellulose/lignin degradation. RESULTS The PHP pretreatment profile on wheat straw and corn stalk were investigated. The pathways/mechanisms of peroxyacetic acid mediated-PHP pretreatment were elucidated through tracing the structural changes of each component. Results showed that hemicellulose was almost completely solubilized and removed, corresponding to about 87.0% cellulose recovery with high digestibility. Rather high degrees of delignification of 83.5% and 90.0% were achieved for wheat straw and corn stalk, respectively, with the aid of peroxyacetic acid oxidation. A clearly positive correlation was found between the concentration of peroxyacetic acid and the extent of lignocellulose deconstruction. Peroxyacetic acid was mainly self-generated through H2O2 oxidation of acetic acid that was produced from hemicellulose deacetylation and lignin degradation. The self-generated peroxyacetic acid then further contributed to lignocellulose deconstruction and delignification. CONCLUSIONS The synergistic effect of H3PO4 and H2O2 in the PHP solvent system could efficiently deconstruct wheat straw and corn stalk lignocellulose through an oxidation-mediated process. The main function of H3PO4 was to deconstruct biomass recalcitrance and degrade hemicellulose through acid hydrolysis, while the function of H2O2 was to facilitate the formation of peroxyacetic acid. Peroxyacetic acid with stronger oxidation ability was generated through the reaction between H2O2 and acetic acid, which was released from xylan and lignin oxidation/degradation. This work elucidated the generation and function of peroxyacetic acid in the PHP pretreatment system, and also provide useful information to tailor peroxide-involved pretreatment routes, especially at acidic conditions.

Abstract
Novel sponge-like biochromic swab was developed via immobilization of natural anthocyanin (Cy) biomolecular probe into microporous cellulose aerogel. The current biosensor is characterized with simple preparation, environmentally-friendly, biocompatibility, biodegradability, flexibility, portability and reversibility. This biochromic sponge-like aerogel detector displayed a color change from pink to green-yellow in response to the biochemical changes occurs to sweat. This could be ascribed to intramolecular charge transfer occurs to the molecular system of Cy. Thus, the anthocyanin probe displayed colorimetric variations in UV-Vis absorption spectra via a blue shifting from 620 to 529 nm when raising the pH value of the prepared mimic sweat solution. Natural pH sensitive anthocyanin spectroscopic probe was extracted from red-cabbage plant, characterized by HPLC, and encapsulated into microporous cellulose. The microporous sponge-like cellulose swab was prepared by activating wood pulp utilizing phosphoric acid, and then subjected to freeze-drying. This anthocyanin probe is highly soluble in water. Thus, it was encapsulated as a direct dye into cellulose substrate during the freeze-drying process. To allow a better fixation of this water-soluble anthocyanin probe to the cellulose substrate, potash alum was added to the freeze-dried mixture to act as a fixing agent or mordant (M) generating Cy/M coordination complex. The produced Cy/M nanoparticles (NPs) were explored by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The morphological features of the generated aerogels were investigated by scan electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra, and Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FT-IR). The cytotoxicity of the prepared aerogel-based biosensor was also evaluated. The naked-eye colorimetric changes were studied by exploring color strength, UV-Vis spectra and CIE Lab colorimetric coordinates.

Abstract
A one-pot and one-step enzymatic synthesis of submicron-order spherical microparticles composed of dehydrogenative polymers (DHPs) of coniferyl alcohol as a typical lignin precursor and TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs) was investigated. Horseradish peroxidase enzymatically catalyzed the radical coupling of coniferyl alcohol in an aqueous suspension of TOCNFs, resulting in the formation of spherical microparticles with a diameter and sphericity index of approximately 0.8 μm and 0.95, respectively. The ζ-potential of TOCNF-functionalized DHP microspheres was about -40 mV, indicating that the colloidal systems had good stability. Nanofibrous components were clearly observed on the microparticle surface by scanning electron microscopy, while some TOCNFs were confirmed to be inside the microparticles by confocal laser scanning microscopy with Calcofluor white staining. As both cellulose and lignin are natural polymers known to biodegrade, even in the sea, these woody TOCNF-DHP microparticle nanocomposites were expected to be promising alternatives to fossil resource-derived microbeads in cosmetic applications.

Abstract
The main objective of biomass pretreatment is to separate biomass components and provide easier access with ultimate aim for lignin removal, hemicellulose protection and cellulose crystallinity reduction. Effective bioconversion with least inhibitory compound production would play a considerable role in economic practicability of the process in order to achieve economic sustainability. In this regard, detoxification is an important condition to make biomass hydrolysate acquiescent to bioconversion; also, understanding of inhibitors effect on growth and fermentation are necessary requirements for system detoxification. A number of physical, chemical and biological methods like feedstock selection, membrane selection, neutralization, use of activated charcoal etc have been recommended and developed for removal or minimizing the inhibitory compounds effect. This work reviews various inhibitory compounds produced during pretreatment methods and their removal by various processes.

Abstract
Effective valorization of lignin is crucial to achieve a sustainable, economic and competitive biorefinery of lignocellulosic biomass. In this work, an integrated process was proposed based on a concentrated phosphoric acid plus hydrogen peroxide (PHP) pretreatment to simultaneously facilitate cellulose digestibility and modify lignin as adsorbent. As a dominant constitutor of PHP pretreatment, H2O2 input and its influence on the overall fractionation/lignin modification performance was thoroughly investigated. Results indicated that wheat straw was fractionated more efficiently by increasing the H2O2 input. H2O2 input had a significant influence on the digestibility of the obtained cellulose-rich fraction whereby almost 100.0% cellulose-glucose conversion can be achieved even with only 0.88% H2O2 input. Besides, the adsorption capacity of lignin on MB was improved (74.3 to 210.1 mg g-1) due to the oxidative-modification in PHP pretreatment with H2O2 inputs. Regression analysis indicated that -COOH groups mainly governed the lignin adsorption (R2 = 0.946), which displayed the considerable adsorption capacities for typical cationic substances. This work shows a promising way to integrate the lignin modification concept into the emerging PHP pretreatment process with the dual goal of both cellulose utilization and lignin valorization.

Abstract
Three typical waste furniture boards (fiberboard, chipboard, and blockboard) were pretreated with phosphoric acid and hydrogen peroxide (PHP). The fractionation process of these feedstocks was attempted in order to harvest the cellulose-rich fraction for enzymatic hydrolysis and bioethanol conversion; further, lignin recovery was also considered in this process. The results indicated that 78.9–91.2% of the cellulose was recovered in the cellulose-rich fraction. The decreased crystallinity, which promoted the water retention capacity and enzyme accessibility, contributed greatly to the excellent hydrolysis performance of the cellulose-rich fraction. Therefore, rather high cellulose–glucose conversions of 83.3–98.0% were achieved by hydrolyzing the pretreated furniture boards, which allowed for harvesting 208–241 g of glucose from 1.0 kg of feedstocks. Correspondingly, 8.1–10.4 g/L of ethanol were obtained after 120 h of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. The harvested lignin exhibited abundant carboxyl –OH groups (0.61–0.67 mmol g−1). In addition, approximately 15–26 g of harvested oligosaccharides were integrated during PHP pretreatment. It was shown that PHP pretreatment is feasible for these highly recalcitrant biomass board materials, which can diversify the bioproducts used in the integrated biorefinery concept.

Abstract
Pretreating lignocellulosic biomass by phosphoric acid plus hydrogen peroxide (PHP) was integrated with recovering concentrated phosphoric acid (CPA), lignin, and treating phosphorus (P) wastewater. Results indicated no significant effects on cellulose recovery was observed by promoting ethanol addition, but CPA and lignin recovery were improved to 80.0% and 23.3%, respectively. Increasing water addition did not greatly affect CPA recovery (80.0-80.4%), and lignin recovery (22.8-23.6%). Consequently, the ratio of 11:1 (ethanol/PHP solution) and 4:1 (water/de-ethanol liquor) were suggested for solid/liquid separation and lignin precipitation. Average 86.0% CPA was recycled for pretreatment (≥11 runs) with average 96.3% cellulose-glucose conversion. A specially-developed biochar from crab shell was efficient on P removal with maximal adsorption capacity of 261.6 mg/g. Pretreating 1.0 kg wheat straw by 1.1 kg CPA harvested 155.0 g ethanol, 45.0 g high purity lignin and 4.9 kg P-rich biochar fertilizer. Recovering CPA, biochar-fertilizer and lignin, and P wastewater treatment made PHP pretreatment towards more sustainable and cleaner.

Abstract
Phosphoric acid plus hydrogen peroxide (PHP) pretreatment was employed on wheat straw for ethanol conversion by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) at high loadings. Results showed solid loading of PHP-pretreated wheat straw can be greatly promoted to 20%. Although more enzyme input improved ethanol conversion significantly, it still can be potentially reduced to 10-20 mg protein/g cellulose. Increasing yeast input also promoted ethanol conversion, however, the responses were not significant. Response surface method was employed to optimize SSF conditions with the strategy of maximizing ethanol conversion and concentration and minimizing enzyme and yeast input. Results indicated that ethanol conversion of 88.2% and concentration of 69.9 g/L were obtained after 120 h SSF at solid loading of 15.3%, and CTec2 enzyme and yeast were in lower input of 13.2 mg protein/g cellulose and 1.0 g/L, respectively. Consequently, 15.5 g ethanol was harvested from 100 g wheat straw in the optimal conditions.
