Summary: Lignocellulosic nanofibrils (LCNFs) were isolated from poplar sawdust using a sustainable preparation approach. The LCNFs showed a network structure with high crystallinity, good thermal stability, and fine dispersibility in water. Lignocellulose nanopapers (LCNP) prepared using the LCNFs exhibited superior mechanical performance and excellent UV-blocking function. This work offers an optimized strategy for valorization and full utilization of low-value poplar sawdust into value-added LCNFs and LCNP.

Summary: The study found that Cupriavidus necator can tolerate furanics and phenolics, and microbial growth and PHA synthesis can recover to some extent after treatments. In addition to organic inhibitors, nickel ions can also inhibit microbial activity at relatively low concentrations, which is important for sustainable PHA production.

Summary: This study investigates the catalytic effects of different phosphorus-containing salts on the conversion of C-5 carbohydrates in lignocellulosic biomass into furfural. It is found that H3PO4 yields the highest furfural production, while NaH2PO4 exhibits the lowest cellulose degradation. The enzymatic hydrolysis shows that pretreated biomass can be directly used to produce glucose.

Summary: This study investigated the modified biodelignification method combined with hydrothermal treatment and the addition of sodium hypochlorite solution. The results showed that fungal treatment reduced the lignin content to 0.85% and increased the cellulose content to 50.60% within 50 days. The hydrothermal process with NaOCl solution successfully produced MCC from SWS with a cellulose content of 62.45% and an RCD of 79.446%.

Summary: Latvia is a major plywood manufacturer in Eastern Europe, producing 250,000 m(3) annually. The research aims to characterize lignocellulosic biomass obtained after 2-furaldehyde production for further valorization. Experimental optimization was conducted to maximize glucose content in the residual lignocellulose for potential biorefinery applications.

Summary: The development of active solid acids and ionic liquids for efficient sugar release from lignocellulosic biomass has been driven by the goal of sustainable chemistry. In this study, a carbon-based solid acid (SI-C-S-H2O2) derived from a waste of the paper industry was used with water or an ionic liquid for the hydrolysis of corncob. The highest yields of xylose and removal rate of hemicellulose were achieved in an aqueous system, while a high total reducing sugar yield was obtained in the IL-water system. The catalyst showed sustained high activity after multiple recycling.

Summary: Porous carbons derived from one-pot carbonization and activation of wood sawdust in a molten salt medium showed superior performance in Hg-0 removal compared to carbons derived from N-2 pyrolysis method. The best molar ratio of LiCl-KCl was found to be 59:41, with an optimal molten salt temperature of 700 degrees C and a mass ratio of wood sawdust to molten salt of 1:10. The carbonization method displayed good applicability at temperatures ranging from 50 to 125 degrees C, with a high saturation Hg-0 adsorption capacity.

Summary: This research focused on the effect of water content on the enzymatic hydrolysis of disintegrated Populus nigra L. The results showed that an increase in moisture content positively affects yields, particularly in the 0.7 mm fraction. Finer wet beating of the wood mass is a more effective method.

Summary: This study investigated the pretreatment of furniture waste sawdust using alkaline peroxide (H2O2) to produce reducing sugars. The optimum conditions for pretreatment were found to be 2% H2O2 loading at 75 celcius for 150 min, resulting in a glucose concentration of 3.46 g/L and a total reducing sugars yield of 69.26%.

Summary: This study fractionated the main components of birch wood into microcrystalline cellulose, xylose, and enterosorbents for the first time using heterogeneous catalytic processes. The yields of microcrystalline cellulose and the organic-soluble lignin were 64.5% and 11.5%, respectively. The enterosorbents showed significantly higher sorption capacities compared to a commercial enterosorbent.

Summary: The hydrolysis of plant polysaccharides is commonly classified based on the use of diluted or concentrated acids. This classification is due to the significant difference in reaction mechanisms. Studies on hydrolysis using acids with concentrations less than 0.5% are lacking. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficiency of hydrolysis at ultra-low acid consumption.

Summary: Experiments and simulations were conducted to study the air volume fraction and hold-up in a bubble channel reactor. A new signal processing method was proposed to avoid the loss of bubble residence time. The results were in agreement with previous studies and a bubble-scale model was developed to explain the relationship between hold-up and air superficial velocity.
