Recently, obtaining value-added chemicals from biomass resources has attracted considerable attention. Levulinic acid is one of the most important biomass platform compounds, which could be obtained from carbohydrate biomass. In this work, levulinic acid was selectively converted into C4 product, including succinic anhydride, via catalytic oxidation with a manganese catalyst in acetic anhydride. Moreover, an unexpected product of maleic anhydride was obtained, which greatly differs from that of levulinate ester. The pathway for formation of maleic anhydride was studied by monitoring and confirming intermediates α-angelica lactone and its derivative 2-methyl-5-oxotetrahydro-2-furanyl acetate. Based on the obtained mechanistic information, the different behaviour between the oxidative cleavage of levulinic acid and levulinate ester was further discussed.

The effects of magnesium maleate (MgMA) and maleic anhydride (MAH) on the interfacial interaction and the shape memory properties of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) with sea island structure prepared by dynamic vulcanization were investigated in this study. PP matrix could maintain the temporary shape of TPVs and the crosslinked EPDM phase supplied stress to drive the deformed shape recovery during the shape memory process. MgMA and MAH grafted on PP and EPDM chains verified by FTIR, DMA and SEM, which improved the interfacial compatibility of EPDM and PP and enhanced the efficiency of stress transfer in the shape memory process. The shape fixity ratio (R f ) and shape recovery ratio (R r ) of TPVs compatibilized by MgMA and MAH were almost above 80%. The shape memory property and the mechanical performance of TPVs were all improved compared to that of the sample without compatibilization .

Ru-based catalysts, supported on activated carbon and carbon nanotubes, were synthesized by a simple and eco-friendly bioreduction method and tested in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of maleic anhydride. Over 2.0% Ru/AC, succinic anhydride was produced with a maximum yield of 99.2% without further hydrogenation to γ-butyrolactone. Well-defined spherical shapes with uniform small size of Ru nanoparticles and the residual plant biomass were responsible for the excellent catalytic activities and stabilities.

Poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) from CO2 and propylene oxide (PO) has wide potential applications as a degradable “plastic”. However, the thermal stability and mechanical properties of PPC cannot meet most of the application requirements. Herein, we focus on improving these properties. A (maleic anhydride/cis-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride) (MA/THPA) oligomer containing several cyclocarboxylic anhydride groups, which can copolymerize with PO, has been readily synthesized and used as the third comonomer to prepare PPC with cross-linked networks. The gel contents increase from 16 to 42% with increasing MA/THPA oligomer feed contents from 0.5 to 4 wt % of PO. The formation of cross-linked networks in PPC greatly improves the thermal, mechanical, and dimensional properties. The 5% weight-loss degradation temperature increases from 217 °C to nearly 290 °C before and after cross-linking, which ensures that PPC does not decompose in melt processing. The tensile strength of the copolymer is in the range of 22.2–44.3 MPa with elongation at break of 11–312%. The maximum tensile strength is improved by 143% compared to that of PPC. When the MA/THPA oligomer feed is above 3 wt % of PO, the hot-set elongation of the copolymer at 65 °C decreases more than 10 times when compared with that of PPC, and the permanent deformation is close to 0, while it is 145% for PPC. The dimensional stability is improved sharply. It can overcome the cold flow phenomenon of PPC. The improvement of the above comprehensive properties is of great significance to the practical application of PPC in various fields.

A bio-based high-grafting-rate compatibilizer, itaconic anhydride grafted polypropylene (ITA-g-PP), was successfully prepared using 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butylperoxy)hexane (L101) as the initiator and assisting by the radical trapping agent α-methyl styrene (AMS). Itaconic anhydride (ITA) was synthetically grafted onto polypropylene (PP) through a dynamic reactive extrusion. The influences of variant contents of ITA and L101 on the grafting reaction were systematically investigated using infrared spectroscopy (IR), acid-base titration, melt flow index, contact angle, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mechanical properties and rheological testing methods. The mechanical performances and microstructure of the wheat fiber (WF) enhanced PP composites were investigated. In addition, a series of comparisons were made between ITA-g-PP and self-made maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAH-g-PP) under the same conditions. The results show that the highest grafting rate of ITA-g-PP reached 1.45 %, greatly improving the hydrophilicity of PP. Under the same conditions, ITA-g-PP grafting rate can reach 1.2 %, and self-made MAH-g-PP grafted rate was only 0.75 %. The prepared ITA-g-PP can significantly enhance the adhesion of interfacial between WF and PP compared with traditional MAH grafted PP, thereby improving impact and tensile properties. Among them, adding ITA-g-PP to WF/PP composites can increase the impact strength by up to 29 %, while adding MAH-g-PP can only increase it by 17 % in WF/PP composites.

Polyurethanes are widely used in many fields, and with the expansion of market demand, the improvement of their comprehensive performance through modification techniques has become a research priority. In this paper, modified polyurethane (MPU) was synthesized by reacting terminal hydroxyl polyurethane prepolymer (Pre-PU) with maleic anhydride (MA), and the effects of the introduction of MA as well as the different additions on the properties of MPU were investigated. The structure of MPU was determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the water contact angle and water absorption tests showed that the hydrophilicity of MPU was significantly enhanced, and from the solvent resistance test, it was known that MPU was easy to decompose in acetone, and from the results of the differential scanning calorimeter and the heat loss analyzer, it was known that modified polyurethanes were tunable in terms of their thermal properties by adjusting the amount of MA added. The results of the study offer the possibility of expanding the application areas of polyurethane and its application in special environments.

The utilization of carbonic anhydrases (CAs) for CO2 capture aligns with the principles of environmental sustainability. However, there is an urgent need to minimize the cost of CA purification while improving their performance in harsh environments. A novel strategy was proposed to solve the above problems by employing the ferritin-tagged CA variant (DvCA8.0-F). The purification is achieved by low-speed centrifugation, yielding 92% activity recovery and 95% purity. After 14 weeks of incubation in a 50% MDEA solution at 50 °C, DvCA8.0-F maintained activity nearly equivalent to the initial activity, which showed remarkable stability compared to the free ones. Encouragingly, DvCA8.0-F had a yield of up to 800 mg/L, allowing for cost-effective CA-assisted CO2 absorption and desorption in MDEA solutions. The results show that DvCA8.0-F reduced the absorption time from 70 to 50 min at 40 °C and desorption time from 40 to 25 min at 96 °C in 25%MDEA+1%[N1111][Gly] solution with a final CO2 load and a stripped amount of CO2 at the same time. DvCA8.0-F exhibits the maximum reaction rate at 96 °C; the CO2 regeneration efficiency improved from 60% at 87 °C to 72%. When the concentration of DvCA8.0-F was 1.5 g/L, the absorption rate of CO2 reached about 90% of that of the 25% MEA solution. These results demonstrate the simplicity of preparation and the outstanding properties of DvCA8.0-F, which paves a feasible way for CA-assisted CO2 capture. This exciting strategy may also have excellent potential in enzymes for innovative chemical synthesis to achieve the sustainable development of green chemistry.

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme-based absorption process is under development for CO 2 capture. How to maintain the activity and stability of CA enzyme is the important issue related to this emerging process. The immobilization technologies are regarding as the promising method to stabilize CA in harsh environments. This work encapsulated CA into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with different particle sizes according to several preparation protocols and investigated their activity and stability. The experimental results revealed that the preliminary crystallization time, enzyme dosing amount, and particle sizes of ZIF-8 had a significant influence on the catalytic performance of immobilized CA. The remaining activity of the CA after immobilization ranged from 52 to 93 % depending on the employed preparation protocol. In addition, the immobilized CA with particle size of ∼400 nm exhibited better activity compared to those with particle sizes of ∼100 nm and 1000 nm. Moreover, with the increase of the preliminary crystallization time, the stability of immobilized CA descended.

Bio-sourced polymers, polylactide (PLA) and starch, have been melt-blended by lab-scale co-extruder with tung oil anhydride (TOA) as the plasticizer. The ready reaction between the maleic anhydride on TOA and the hydroxyl on starch led TOA molecules to accumulate on starch and increased the compatibility of PLA/starch blends, which was confirmed by FT-IR analyses and SEM. The TOA could change the mechanical properties and physical behaviors of PLA/starch blends. DSC and DMA analysis show that the TOA layer on starch has an effect on the thermal behavior of PLA in the ternary blend. The enrichment of TOA on starch improves the toughness and impact strength of the PLA/starch blends. The adding amount of TOA in PLA/starch blends primarily determined the compatibility and mechanical properties of the resulted ternary blends. The tensile and impact fracture modes of the PLA/starch blend with or without TOA has also been investigated by SEM analysis.

Pomelo peel (PP), as one of the well-known agricultural wastes, is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Based on PP, two new kinds of oil sorbents were prepared by using acetic anhydride and styrene. The structures of raw pomelo peel (RP), acetic anhydride-treated pomelo peel (AP) and styrene-treated pomelo peel (SP) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact-angle (CA) measurements. The optimum reaction conditions for preparation of AP and SP were also investigated. The resulting products exhibited better oil sorption capacity than that of RP for diesel and lubricating oil, also SP had better oil sorption capacity than AP, while the oil sorption capacities of SP for diesel and lubricating oil reached 18.91 and 26.36 g/g, respectively. Adsorption kinetics was well described by the pseudo-second-order model. The results indicated that AP and SP, especially SP could be used as the substitute for non-biodegradable oil sorption materials.

In this work, two different polymorphs (form 1 and form 2) of glycolide were successfully prepared and characterized. The solubility of these two polymorphs in ethyl acetate, 1-propanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and 1-butanol at temperatures from 278.15 K to 328.15 K under atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa) was experimentally measured by using the isothermal gravimetrical method and correlated by the modified Apelblat model and the van’t Hoff equation. For all the selected solvents, the solubility curve of form 1 crossed the solubility curve of form 2 at a transition temperature in the above temperature range. Combining the results of DSC, solubility curves and dissolution data of these two polymorphs, it was confirmed that form 1 and form 2 were enantiotropic. The dissolution thermodynamic properties of glycolide form 1 and form 2 were also calculated.

The production of chemicals such as phthalic anhydride (PA) from renewable biomass is of crucial significance for sustainable social development. Herein, we demonstrate that a 99.0 mol % yield of PA can be achieved from a Diels–Alder adduct of furan and maleic anhydride on an acid resin catalyst. The active sites on the catalyst were produced by pretreating the resin with acetic anhydride. The excellent performance of the resin catalyst is attributed to its surface enrichment effect on the reactant and good ability to suppress the side reactions. Moreover, the catalyst deactivation mechanism was clarified to be the destruction of the resin skeleton during the reaction. These results will provide a practical route for the future industrial production of PA from renewable biomass.
