Reduced graphene oxide functionalized with magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and –PhSO 3 H groups (Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H) was reported for environmentally benign hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, which is an important process in integrated utilization of biomass resource. Except for –PhSO 3 H groups, –COOH and –OH groups derived from graphene oxide (GO) were also expected in the structure of Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H. Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H exhibited outstanding catalytic performance for the hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, due to its crumpling feature with clear layers and the coexistence of –COOH and –OH groups. The unique structure of Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H favors the accessibility of cellulose to the active sites of the material and facilitates the diffusion of the product molecules. –COOH groups on the surface of the material provide a large concentration of acidic functionality for hydrolyzing cellulose, while –OH groups readily adsorb cellulose through forming strong hydrogen bonds between –OH groups and the oxygen atoms in β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Furthermore, Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H can also be easily separated from the reaction residue with an extra magnetic force and further used at least five times.

Ionic liquids have shown good catalytic performance and been widely used in the biomass conversion process due to their unique properties, including environmental friendship, low toxicity, and simple preparation. In this work, a series of novel piperidinium-based ionic liquids were synthesized under mild conditions via a simple protonation reaction or nucleophilic substitution reaction. Among them, 4,4′-(propane-1,3-diyl)bis(1-(carboxymethyl)piperidin-1-ium) chloride ([PDCMPi]Cl) displayed the best catalytic performance. The highest yield (42.81 %) of 3A5AF from NAG was obtained after reacting in N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) in the presence of piperidinium-based ionic liquids at 180 °C for 20 min under normal atmospheric conditions. Additionally, ionic liquid [PDCMPi]Cl showed good catalytic activity in six repeated catalytic runs. Meanwhile, a possible reaction pathway was also proposed on the basis of the results of NMR spectra.

The effects of binary and ternary trace elements (TEs) (Fe/Co, Fe/Ni, and Fe/Co/Ni) on the anaerobic digestion (AD) of cattle manure were investigated using kinetic models (first-order, logistic, modified Gompertz, and Coats-Redfern) and experimental measurements. Binary and ternary TEs can significantly improve the biogas production rate and yield potential. The deviation between the predicted and measured data for biogas yield with logistic model (2.1%–5.3%) and modified Gompertz model (0.32%–2.9%) was smaller than that with first-order kinetic model (6.9%–9.9%). The Coats-Redfern model fitting indicated that the activation energy of digestates with trace elements during pyrolysis was reduced by 3.9%–26.2% compared with the control group. Meanwhile, digestates with TEs showed remarkable fertility (5.72%–5.95%). The combination of kinetic models and experimental measurements can effectively quantify the effect of TEs on AD performance and provide an informed choice for industrial production.

The catalytic transformation of furfuryl alcohol and hexose into value-added chemicals have been investigated with a series of polymer-based catalysts including poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (PSS), graphite oxide-doped poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (PSS-GO), and graphite-doped poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (PSS-C). It is found that the selective conversion of furfuryl alcohol to methyl levulinate (MLE) was successfully performed with PSS as the catalyst, in which a 96.4% yield is attained in methanol solvent. Moreover, the efficient dehydration of d -fructose to produce 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has also been achieved using PSS-GO as the catalyst, where a 76.5% yield of HMF was obtained in N -methylpyrrodinone solvent. The effects of reaction temperature, time and solvent were investigated. Furthermore, the used catalysts have been respectively characterized by XRD, TG, FTIR, SEM and TEM techniques to reveal the physical properties and structures of these polymeric catalytic materials.

Levulinic acid (LA) is a versatile key building block in the conversion of carbohydrates and it is an important basic chemical with various potential uses. MIL-100(Fe) loading with insoluble lysine functionalized phosphotungstic acid (Lys-PM 2 ) as heterogeneous catalysts have been synthesized for the conversion of glucose to LA in water. The optimized yield of LA is obtained by using Lys-PM 2 to catalyze glucose conversion is comparable to the majority of effective catalysts. The highest yield of LA (57.9%) is obtained at 150 °C for 9 h with 100 mg glucose and 25 mg Lys-PM 2 , since the Brønsted acidity and Lewis acidity of Lys-PM 2 . And the catalyst is able to recycle at least four times. It demonstrates the potential of Lys-PM 2 for the conversion of biomass.

Producing chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass is important in view of the huge availability of biomass and positive environmental significance by reducing carbon emission due to fast carbon cycle during biomass growth and applications. Here, we prepared zirconium based solid acids for hydrolytic hydrogenation of raw lignocelluloses to coproduce C5/C6 sugar alcohols (the important platform for downstream chemicals and fuel production) as combined with commercial Ru/C. Among these solid acids, the amorphous zirconium phosphate (ZrP) presented the largest acidic sites, with medium and strong acidity as the majority, showing the highest goal sugar alcohols yield of 70% at optimal reaction conditions. During pennisetum transformation, this combined catalyst was reusable despite the activity of the second run being lower than the initial one, and the activity could be recovered by recalcination of spent ZrP. The primary structure of surviving lignin remained after cellulose and hemicellulose were converted, showing the significance for fractional biomass applications if considering the further transformation of lignin.
