Abstract
Catalytic conversion of cellulose to liquid fuel and highly valuable platform chemicals remains a critical and challenging process. Here, bismuth-decorated β zeolite catalysts (Bi/β) were exploited for highly efficient hydrolysis and selective oxidation of cellulose to biomass-derived glycolic acid in an O2 atmosphere, which exhibited an exceptionally catalytic activity and high selectivity as well as excellent reusability. It was interestingly found that as high as 75.6% yield of glycolic acid over 2.3 wt% Bi/β was achieved from cellulose at 180 °C for 16 h, which was superior to previously reported catalysts. Experimental results combined with characterization revealed that the synergetic effect between oxidation active sites from Bi species and surface acidity on H-β together with appropriate total surface acidity significantly facilitated the chemoselectivity towards the production of glycolic acid in the direct, one-pot conversion of cellulose. This study will shed light on rationally designing Bi-based heterogeneous catalysts for sustainably generating glycolic acid from renewable biomass resources in the future.

Abstract
Ethylene glycol (EG) is obtained by a novel, two‐step approach combining a biotechnological and a heterogeneously catalyzed step. First, microalgae are cultivated to photobiocatalytically yield glycolic acid (GA) by means of photosynthesis from CO2 and water. GA is continuously excreted into the surrounding medium. In the second step, the GA‐containing algal medium is used as feedstock for catalytic reduction with H2 to EG over a Ru/C catalyst. The present study focuses on the conversion of an authentic algae‐derived GA solution. After identification of the key characteristics of the algal medium (compared to pure aqueous GA), the influence of pH, numerous salt additives, pH buffers and other relevant organic molecules on the catalytic GA reduction was investigated. Nitrogen‐ and sulfur‐containing organic molecules can strongly inhibit the reaction. Moreover, pH adjustment by acidification is required, for which H2SO4 is found most suitable. In combination with a modification of the biotechnological process to mitigate the use of inhibitory compounds, and after acidifying the algal medium, over Ru/C a EG yield of up to 21 % even at non‐optimized reaction conditions was achieved.

Abstract
Herein, it was unearthed that manganese peroxidase (MnP) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium, a lignin-degrading enzyme, is capable of not only directly decomposing cellulosic components but also boosting cellulase activity. MnP decomposes various cellulosic substrates (carboxymethyl cellulose, cellobiose [CMC], and Avicel®) and produces reducing sugars rather than oxidized sugars such as lactone and ketoaldolase. MnP with MnII in acetate buffer evolves the MnIII-acetate complex functioning as a strong oxidant, and the non-specificity of MnIII-acetate enables cellulose-decomposition. The catalytic mechanism was proposed by analyzing catalytic products derived from MnP-treated cellopentaose. Notably, MnP also boosts cellulase activity on CMC and Avicel®, even considering the cellulolytic activity of MnP itself. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating a previously unknown fungal MnP activity in cellulose-decomposition in addition to a known delignification activity. Consequently, the results provide a promising insight for further investigation of the versatility of lignin-degrading biocatalysts.

Abstract
The starch used to enhance the paper surface dissolves in water during the production process and forms pollutants that accumulate in water when old corrugated cardboard (OCC) is returned to a paper mill for pulping and reuse. At present, anaerobic fermentation is widely used in the paper industry to treat starch-containing wastewater, producing biogas energy, or oxidative decomposition, which is a huge waste of valuable starch resources. Phosphomolybdic acid (PMo12) is a highly selective catalyst for the oxidation of carbohydrates; therefore, PMo12 can be envisaged as a suitable catalyst to convert waste starch into glycolic acid, an important high added-value chemical. In this paper, the catalytic oxidation technology of PMo12 was explored to produce glycolic acid from starch contained in OCC papermaking wastewater, and the kinetics and influencing factors of the catalytic oxidation reaction were studied. The results indicated that the PMo12-catalyzed oxidation of starch followed a first-order reaction; the reaction rate constant increased with increasing the temperature, the apparent activation energy of starch to monosaccharide was 104.7 kJ mol−1, the apparent activation energies of starch and monosaccharide to humins were 126.5 and 140.5 kJ mol−1, and the apparent activation energy of monosaccharide to glycolic acid was 117.2 kJ mol−1. The yields of monosaccharide and glycolic acid were 80.7 wt% and 12.9 wt%, respectively, and the utilization of starch resources was about 90.0 wt% under the following reaction conditions: temperature, 145 °C; reaction time, 120 min; pH, 2. Therefore, the feasibility of the PMo12-catalyzed oxidation of starch to produce high value-added glycolic acid is demonstrated, which has theoretical guiding significance and potential application value for the clean production and resource utilization of waste starch in the OCC papermaking process. The starch in old corrugated cardboard (OCC) wastewater is catalyzed and oxidized to produce high value-added glycolic acid, which has potential application value for the clean production and resource utilization of waste starch in the OCC papermaking process.![]()
