Hydrothermal co-liquefaction has the potential to improve biocrude yield. To investigate the influence of various types of biomass on co-liquefaction with municipal sewage sludge (MSS), experiments on MSS with three kinds of model feedstocks (soy oil, soy protein, and starch) were carried out. Reaction temperatures of 300, 320, and 340 °C proved to be the appropriate reaction temperatures for the highest biocrude yield for soy oil, soy protein, and starch, respectively. A synergistic effect on the biocrude yield of co-liquefaction was proved, and starch showed the highest synergistic effect with a 57.25% increase in biocrude yield, while soy oil only presented a slight synergistic effect. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) results suggested that co-liquefaction with soy oil increased the light oil fractions in biocrude by 20.81%, but protein and starch led to more heavy oil fractions. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) indicated that co-liquefaction with protein or starch produced more cyclic compounds in the biocrude, while almost no new components appeared from co-liquefaction with soy oil.

Resistance of biodiesel industrial production came from high energy consumption and feedstock costs. To solve it, Na 2 CO 3 @BFD catalyst was prepared from blast furnace dust and used to catalyze biodiesel production at low temperature. Biodiesel yield of 99.04 wt% was obtained under conditions optimized by response surface methodology of methanol/oil molar ratio 13.72/1, catalyst dosage 9.77 wt % and 74.86 °C for 1.62 h. The order of influence of the four factors was temperature (245.9) > time (109.8) > methanol/oil molar ratio (23.83) > catalyst dosage (1.19). Back propagation neural network model (BPNN) was optimized using genetic algorithm (GA) and sparrow search algorithm (SSA) to predict biodiesel yield. The evaluation indexes of mean absolute error , mean square error , root mean square error and mean absolute percentage error of SSA-BPNN were 0.9236, 2.0184, 1.4207 and 1.0247 ( vs. 2.4329, 9.1037, 3.0172 and 3.5000 for GA-BPNN and 4.3291, 43.4693, 6.5931 and 6.9227 for BPNN), indicating that SSA-BPNN model had excellent prediction ability to effectively reduce experimental costs and resource consumption. The reaction kinetics of Na 2 CO 3 @BFD for transesterification process showed that its activation energy was 65.73 kJ/mol, lower than that of reported solid base catalyst, indicating that it had significant potential in biomass conversion .

The use of a mixed-salt substrate (sodium chloride-choline bromide-1-ethyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidinium bromide; molar ratio: 1:1:1) has been proposed for hydrodistillation of essential oils. Tree peony ‘Taiping Hong’ (Paeoniaceae), a cultivated essential oil-bearing plant, was investigated. After using the salt substrate, distillation time decreased from 140 to 40 min, essential oil yield increased from 0.48 % to 0.69 % and the pseudo-first-order rate constant increased from 0.0233 to 0.123 min-1. Potential mechanisms are (1) osmosis effect and hydrogen-bond interactions, which improve cell wall rupture; (2) the increase in polarity of aqueous distillation media, which prevents emulsification. The essential oil composition was influenced by an increase in oxygenated compound content (32.9 % to 49.0 %) and a decrease in hydrocarbon content (65.3 % to 49.6 %). Furan linalool oxide (cis and trans), linalool and α-terpineol contents increased by 400 %, 250 % and 200 %, respectively. (E,E)-α-farnesene, α-muurolene and octadecane contents decreased by 50 %, 46 % and 38 %, respectively. Possible mechanisms are: (1) improved cell rupture, which significantly facilitates extraction of oxygenated compounds; (2) hydrogen bonding with oxygenated compounds, which enhances their transfer from the inside of cells to bulk solution; (3) salting-out effect, which decreases dissolution of oxygenated compounds and improves their distillation. The essential oil obtained was mainly composed of phloroglucinol trimethyl ether (21.9 %), nerol (10.2%), tricosane (9.1 %), nonadecane (9.0 %), α-muurolene (5.0 %) and furan linalool oxides (3.0 %). Target prediction analysis indicated that it has potential applications in aromatherapy. In conclusion, the use of the mixed-salt substrate combined with hydrodistillation can result in efficient isolation of essential oils.

This study presents a one-step encapsulation method for synthesizing X-shaped zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) and immobilizingRhizomucor mieheilipase (RML). We proved that the morphological structure of ZIF-8 had changed after immobilization with enhanced characterization using a field-emission scanning electron microscope, an energy-dispersive spectrometer, a transmission electron microscope, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and powder X-ray diffraction. The surface area and pore size of the carrier were investigated before and after immobilization using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda methods, respectively. RML@ZIF-8 exhibited high recovery activity of up to 2632%, representing a 26-fold increase in its free lipase. Encapsulated RML was used for biodiesel production from soybean oil in an isooctane system with a conversion yield of 95.6% under optimum conditions. The resulting reusability of the immobilized enzyme indicated no substantial decline in the conversion yield, which remained at 84.7% of the initial activity after 10 cycles. The stability and high performance of the immobilized enzyme are attributed to the harmony between RML and ZIF-8 based on the easy synthesis of ZIF-8 and the short time required to immobilize RML.Keywords:X-shape ZIF-8;Rhizomucor mieheilipase (RML);encapsulation technique;biodiesel yield;soybean oil

The halloysite nanotube (HNT) was impregnated with 40 wt % NaAlO 2 (SA) and the assistance of ultrasonic helped to achieve a better and more stable modification. The resulting 0.4SA/HNTs-UI catalyst was applied in catalyzing the transesterification of palm oil with methanol, using a GA_BP neural network to train and predict the optimal values of reaction parameters. The test results proved the prediction accuracy of the model with R 2 = 0.989. The catalyst possessed excellent performance, and the maximum biodiesel yield of 99.15% was achieved with the catalyst loaded amount of 8.82 wt %, methanol to oil molar ratio of 16.79 and transesterification temperature of 65.12 °C.

In this study, pine nut kernels from two grafted species: Pinus koraiensis (PK) and Pinus sylvestris var . (PKS) were roasted (130, 150, 180℃ for 10, 20, 30 min) to investigate the effect of roasting pre-treatment on chemical components, antioxidant activity, and oxidative stability of oils prepared from kernels. Increased temperature or time was found to cause a significant increase in oil yield, color, total phenolic content (TPC), carotenoid, and browning index (BI) of oils compared to unroasted samples. Roasting could also elevate the antioxidant activity and oxidative stability of pine nut oil. The levels of tocopherol decreased significantly at high temperatures (150℃, 180℃), while the fatty acid compositions were almost independent of roasting conditions. The FTIR spectra of oils from different roasted pine nuts showed minor variation in peak intensities. Therefore, roasting is a great option and critical step to improve the quality of pine nut oil. Novelty impact statement The oil yield, color, total phenolic content (TPC), carotenoid, and browning index (BI) of pine nut oil from two grafted species were influenced by different roasting conditions. Roasting could improve the antioxidant activity and oxidative stability of pine nut oil. Roasting (180℃ for 10 min) is a great option to improve the quality of pine nut oil.

Pickering emulsion systems provide potential platforms for simultaneously intensifying and catalyzing transesterification between triglyceride and methanol under static conditions. However, realizing static transesterification with high biodiesel yield is still challenging due to low emulsion stability at the reaction temperature. Here, a series of magnetically recyclable Pickering interfacial catalysts (PICs) with similar surface affinities but different densities were constructed as stabilizers of a soybean oil/methanol emulsion. The variations in the emulsion volume fraction and droplet size were comparatively studied and analyzed from the viewpoint of droplet settling and catalyst particle shedding. It is found that, except for surface affinity, PIC density also plays a pivotal role in emulsion stability owing to the non-negligible effect of gravity on catalyst adsorption in triglyceride/methanol emulsion (especially at elevated temperature). By reducing the density, finely improving the lipophilicity, and optimizing the addition amount of PIC, the obtained soybean oil/methanol emulsion can remain stable for at least 12 h at 60 °C, enabling static transesterification with a high biodiesel yield of 95.6%. Moreover, the best performing PIC can be reused for at least 7 cycles. This efficient static transesterification system offers a green strategy for biodiesel production.

This research focused on the novel, low-cost and green NaAlO 2 /γ-Al 2 O 3 heterogeneous nanocatalyst, which exhibited the excellent performance in catalyzing transesterification of palm oil with methanol for the biodiesel production. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by different methods of the X-ray diffraction (XRD), N 2 adsorption–desorption, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Hammett indicators, field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer (FESEM-EDS) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The transesterification parameters, such as the methanol to oil molar ratio, catalyst content and reaction temperature, were optimized using the central composite design (CCD) based the response surface methodology (RSM), where the maximum biodiesel yield of 97.65% was achieved at the methanol to oil molar ratio of 20.79:1, catalyst content of 10.89 wt% and reaction temperature of 64.72 °C. The biodiesel yield was dropped to 52.16% for the third reused cycle due to the leaching of the active sites into the liquid phase. However, the spent catalyst could be effectively regenerated with a small number of active sites and the regenerated catalyst maintained the biodiesel yield of 93.29% for the sixth reused cycle. The properties of the produced biodiesel were in accordance with the ASTM D 6751 standard. Also, the biodiesel production process was environmental friendly based on the green chemistry metrics.

Ionic liquids (ILs) catalyzed in-situ transesterification (IST) of microalgae is a promising strategy to improve biodiesel yield through enhancing cellulose solubility and catalyzing transesterification. Effect of anions of ILs on biodiesel has been widely investigated previously. However, how do cations of ILs affect IST of microalgae is still unclear. On this basis, ILs composed of alkyl-imidazolium cations with different length, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Emim][BF 4 ]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF 4 ]), and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Hmim][BF 4 ]) catalyzed IST of microalgae are experimentally and theoretically investigated. The results indicate that increasing alkyl chains of cations weakens interactions of ILs-cellulose, and reduces acidities of ILs, subsequently leads to decrease of cellulose extraction yield and biodiesel yield. Although cellulose extraction yield and biodiesel yield are affected by reaction temperature, dosage of methanol, and MILs: Algae, however, H-bonding interactions of ILs-cellulose and acidities of ILs are still dominate parameters affecting cellulose extraction yield and biodiesel yield, respectively, leading to their unchanged sort under variable reaction conditions as following: [Emim][BF 4 ] > [Bmim][BF 4 ] > [Hmim][BF 4 ]. This work reveals that short alkyl chain of cation is favorable to both cellulose extraction and biodiesel yield, providing theoretical guides for screen and design of benign ILs to further improve biodiesel of in-situ transesterification of microalgae.

Graphical Minimize to enhance : Heteropolyacids enhance bio-oil yield by catalyzing the hydrolysis of cellular compounds and reducing their nitrogen content. This is done by avoiding Maillard reactions between the intermediates during the hydrolysis of carbohydrates and proteins. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae for biofuel production is suffering from low bio-oil yield and high heteroatomic compositions owing to their low efficiency and selectivity to hydrolysis of cellular compounds. Hereby we report Keggin-type (Mo−V−P) heteropolyacids (HPAs)-catalyzed HTL of microalgae for efficient low-nitrogen biocrude production. The increases of reaction temperature, reaction time, and vanadium substitution degrees of HPAs are favorable to biocrude yield initially, whereas a significant decrease of biocrude yield is observed owing to the enhanced oxidation of carbohydrates above the optimum reaction conditions. The maximum biocrude yield of HPAs-catalyzed HTL of microalgae is 29.95 % at reaction temperature of 300 °C, reaction time of 2 h, and 5 wt% of HPA-4, which is about 19.66 % higher than that of control with 71.17 % less N-containing compounds, including 1,3-propanediamine, 1-pentanamine, and 2, 2’-heptamethylene-di-2-imidazoline than that of control. This work reveals that HPAs with Brønsted acidity and reversible redox properties are capable of both enhancing biocrude production via catalyzing the hydrolysis of cellular compounds and reducing their nitrogen content through avoiding the Maillard reactions between the intermediates of hydrolysis of carbohydrates and proteins. HPAs-catalyzed HTL is an efficient strategy to produce low N-containing biofuels, possibly paving the way of their direct use in modern motors.

The study aimed to investigate the effects of processing methods on oil yield, chemical composition, physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity and volatile compounds of Cinnamomum camphora seed kernel oil (CCSKO). The processing methods used were hot pressing (HP), cold pressing (CP), solvent extraction (SE), aqueous extraction (AE), sub-critical fluid extraction (SCFE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). The results showed that the extraction efficiencies from different processing methods ranged from 44.48% to 97.93%, with the highest efficiency from SCFE. All CCSKO samples were found to be rich in medium-chain saturated fatty acids (> 96%), and capric acid-capric acid-lauric acid accounting for the largest proportion of triacylglycerols (77.54%−78.74%). However, the total polyphenol content, δ-tocopherol content and antioxidant activity of AE, α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol content of CP, and squalene content of SCFE were all significantly higher than those of the other samples. Additionally, the thermal behaviors and spectral profiles of all samples were similar. Furthermore, there were significant differences in the volatile compounds of CCSKO with different processing methods ( p < 0.05). Linalool , 2-nonanol, and ethyl caprate were determined to be the key aroma compounds of CCSKO. Overall, the results provide a theoretical reference for further processing of CCSKO.
