A novel ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES), consisted of choline chloride, oxalic acid and ethylene glycol, was developed as a green, low-cost and recyclable pretreatment system for multi-stage utilization of Eucommia ulmoides seed shells. Under optimum conditions, 79.7 % hemicellulose and 65.6 % lignin were quickly removed while 84.0 % cellulose was retained. After DES pretreatment , the yield and purity of gutta-percha achieved 85.1 mg/g and 96.2 %, which increased 1.4 and 1.8 folds higher than that of un-treatment ones. Meanwhile, 69.1 % enzymatic digestibility of cellulose was obtained, that was 2.3 folds higher than that of raw substrates. Moreover, 53.6 % low-condensation lignin with aromatic structures and valuable aryl-ether linkages was well collected. Importantly, the DES that has been recycled five runs can still remove 73.9 % hemicellulose and 58.0 % lignin. Overall, the DES was determined to efficiently promote the separation and conversion of high-quality gutta-percha, value-added lignin and high-yield glucose from Eucommia ulmoides seed shells.

The escalating demand for cobalt in modern industry necessitates the recycling or extraction of this resource for sustainable development. Despite the abundance of lignin in nature, its utilization remains low, highlighting the need to enhance its value-added potential. This study focuses on the synthesis of quaternary ammonium lignin (QAL) and 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (P507) as ionic liquid (QP–IL) compounds for the extraction of metal ions. A comparison of the extraction behavior of Co(II) and Ni(II) from chloride solution between QP–IL and P507 revealed varying extraction ratios under different conditions, with QP–IL demonstrating a higher cobalt extractability than P507. Furthermore, under identical conditions, QP–IL exhibited superior Co/Ni separation performance (βCo/Ni) compared to P507. Ultimately, QP–IL proved to be more effective than P507 in separating cobalt from mixed solutions.

The high complexity and compactness of inherent structure in lignocellulosic materials (LCM) leads to the difficulty of fractionation and conversion of its major component, which is the key obstacle limiting the value-added utilization of LCM. In this work, a cascade fractionation strategy, coupling catalytic hydrothermal pretreatment (CHTP, choline chloride: ethylene glycol: AlCl 3 , ChCl/ EG/ AlCl 3 ) with hydrated alkaline deep eutectic solvent (HADES, triethylbenzyl ammonium chloride/ethanolamine, TEBAC/EM) treatment, was proposed to fractionate dendrocalamus latiftorus munro shoot shells (DLMSS). The results showed that considerably high hemicelluloses removal (94.57 %) and xylose yield (90.73 %) were achieved by the first step (CHTP, 160 °C, 1 h, 2 % of catalyst loading). The cascaded HADES treatment realized 90.25 % delignification ratio under the optimal conditions (120 °C, 3 h, 75 % of ADES loading), and the obtained residue could be easily converted into high-yield (93.35 %) of glucose via enzymatic saccharification. In addition, multiple enrichment cycle strategy (MECS) was performed to facilitate the recyclability of the HADES. The results showed that the enriched lignin recovered by MECS was activated by in-situ demethoxylation reaction. And such lignin fraction could be easily assembled into homogeneous lignin nanoparticles (LNPs, ∼31.51 nm in diameter) by simple sonication. Meanwhile, the MECS signally energized the antioxidant activity of the enriched lignin. Based on the high-efficiency cascade fractionation with the coupled CHTP-HADES fractionation strategy, it will observably boost the effectiveness and scalability of the advanced biorefinery strategy.

Achieving high efficiency and selectivity in cleaving aryl C–O bonds is critical for lignin valorization and the production of aromatic chemicals. A green and sustainable approach has been developed using bimetallic Ni–W catalysts, which controlled the hydrogen supply and mediated hydrogen transfer via in situ hydrogen donors. An appropriate W/Ni ratio is essential for enhancing the supply of active hydrogen, the adsorption capacity for reactive molecules, and the efficiency of hydrogen transfer, thereby optimizing the overall catalytic performance. A comprehensive investigation was conducted on the factors influencing the catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis of lignin derivatives, focusing on the reaction temperature, solvent, hydrogen source, pressure, and duration. Under optimal conditions (180 °C, 1.0 MPa N2, and <2.5 h), various lignin-derived aryl ethers achieved complete conversion with 100% monomer selectivity. This study demonstrated the excellent reusability of the Ni–W catalyst for four cycles. More significantly, the mechanisms underlying active hydrogen transfer, transfer hydrogenolysis, and bimetallic interactions were elucidated. The integration of Ni and W species significantly enhanced the synergy among active metal sites, oxygen defects, and acid sites. This synergistic mechanism enabled H• and H+ to function as the primary active hydrogen species. Furthermore, the in situ generation and targeted migration of H• radicals and H+ ions facilitated the preferential cleavage of C–O bonds over the hydrogenation of aromatic units within lignin, leading to the formation of high-value aromatic monomers.

Kraft lignin (KL), isolated from black liquor, serves as a significant feedstock for the production of bio-aromatics by catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP). First, the influence of pH on the chemical structure of KL isolated by the gradient acid precipitation (GAP) was investigated. Then, the dual-catalyst CFP (DC-CFP) was employed to convert KL into light aromatics by using the hierarchical Nb 2 O 5 (Hie-Nb 2 O 5 ) and the microporous HZSM-5 as catalyst. Results showed that the decrease of pH during GAP promoted the breakage of the ether bond of KL, resulting in lower molecular weight and less content of hydroxyl group in KL. Among the four types of metal oxides (Hie-Nb 2 O 5 , Al 2 O 3 , MgO, and CaO), the synergistic effect of dual-catalyst grouped by Hie-Nb 2 O 5 and HZSM-5 was best for the production of light aromatics. In addition, the maximum production of light aromatics was reached at the pH of 2 and the mass ratio of Hie-Nb 2 O 5 -to-HZSM-5 at 2:2.

Conventional water treatment relies on sequential flocculation and disinfection, which inflates infrastructure costs and heightens the risk of disinfection byproduct formation. Here, we report a magnetic lignin-based flocculant (LS-DMC-AM@Fe3O4) that integrates flocculation, sterilization, and rapid magnetic separation within a single material. The composite was synthesized by thermally initiated graft copolymerization of methacryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DMC) and acrylamide (AM) onto sodium lignosulfonate (LS), followed by incorporation of Fe3O4nanoparticles (NPs) at 15 wt% loading; the product exhibited a saturation magnetization of 12.8 emu g−1. LS-DMC-AM@Fe3O4achieved 98.2% kaolin turbidity removal at 1 mg L−1and 98.6%E. coliremoval at 8 mg L−1, and displayed a markedly broader effective dosage window than its non-magnetic analog. We attribute this broadened window to Fe3O4-enhanced membrane disruption, which liberates anionic intracellular contents that buffer excess cationic charge and thereby suppress restabilization. The bactericidal efficiency reached 90% at 18 mg L−1, 1.6-fold higher than LS-DMC-AM, governed by a synergistic dual mechanism: quaternary ammonium contact-killing coupled with Fe3O4NP-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Under an external magnetic field, flocs underwent rapid phase separation and displayed enhanced shear-regrowth capacity (E. colifloc recovery factor: 53% vs. 26%); Fe3O4NPs were recovered at >95% efficiency over two cycles. Despite higher unit production costs, LS-DMC-AM@Fe3O4delivers competitive per-unit-volume treatment economics through its ultralow effective dosage and magnetic seed recyclability. These results establish a viable strategy for engineering multifunctional, recyclable flocculants from industrial lignin waste.

MY zeolites with mesopores were prepared by hydrothermal method using functionalized SiO 2 (F-SiO 2 ) as a silica source, and hydrophobic bifunctional Ru/MY- O catalysts were obtained by deposition precipitation method and silylation treatment. This work aims at obtaining polycyclic alkane (PCA) based high-density hydrocarbon fuels (HDHFs). We focused on the catalytic hydroconversion (CHC) of 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanol (PP-ol) and oxydibenzene (ODB), two typical lignin-related model compounds (LRMCs), over Ru/MY- O . The effects of different reaction conditions and catalysts on the product distribution in PP-ol and ODB were investigated. The partial hydrogenation of ODB was found to be a necessary step before achieving C-O ether bond cleavage and C-C bond coupling. The balance of metal/acidic sites is critical for maximizing PCA yields. Changes in the metal/acid ratio had a greater effect on PCA yield in PP-ol than in ODB. Poor stability of cycloalkyl cations and partial hydrogenation of ODB hinder the generation of C-C coupling products. The incorporation of mesopores and hydrophobic treatment were found to weaken the negative effects of C-C bond coupling products and water on the catalyst. The conversion of Ru 3 /MY- O was improved by nearly 10% compared to Ru 3 /Y in the fifth cycle reaction. This work provided a theoretical basis for the generation of HDHFs from lignin.

ZnAl-LDH/Ti/Fe-biochar enables atomic-level charge separation & electron transport. • PMS/Vis/composite: nitenpyram fully degraded in 15 min (39% min.), multi-radical. • Foliar composite boosts tobacco biomass (56%) via photoelectron-chloroplast transfer. • Waste-derived, stable in water & flow systems; LCA confirms eco-compatibility. A heterostructured composite (BCLDH) was fabricated by in situ growth of ZnAl-layered double hydroxide nanosheets on engineered Ti/Fe-biochar derived from straw lignin. The material exhibits a hierarchical porous structure, a high surface area (312 m² g⁻¹), and uniformly dispersed active components. BCLDH0.2 acts as an efficient peroxymonosulfate activator and visible-light photocatalyst, enabling complete degradation of the neonicotinoid insecticide nitenpyram within 15 min with a 39% mineralization rate. The enhanced activity stems from improved charge separation via heterojunction engineering and synergistic radical generation (SO₄•⁻, ·OH, ¹O₂). The catalyst shows excellent stability and compatibility in various water matrices. Notably, foliar application of BCLDH0.2 significantly promoted tobacco growth, increasing fresh and dry weights by up to 56% and 49%, respectively. This effect is attributed to an “artificial photosynthesis” mechanism, where photogenerated electrons transfer to chloroplasts and enhance the photosynthetic electron transport rate. This work provides a dual-functional material strategy that integrates agricultural waste valorization, advanced oxidation processes, and photosynthesis enhancement for sustainable environmental and agricultural applications.

Cellulose is highly susceptible to adverse effects under wet-low-temperature, and high-temperature conditions, leading to a significant decline in performance. This study employs xylan as a compatibilizer to co-dissolve cellulose/lignin/xylan in an ionic liquid, forming a composite coating on filter paper through hot-press infiltration. The experimental results demonstrate that the composite coated paper fabricated using this approach exhibits superior mechanical properties, with dry and wet tensile strengths of 50.75 MPa and 15.20 MPa, respectively, compared to those of untreated filter paper (18.66 MPa and <2 MPa). Additionally, the water absorption rate and water vapor transmission rate decreased significantly, from 219.92 % and 670.14 m 2 g −1 to 83.40 % and 172.96 m 2 g −1 , respectively. The mechanism behind the enhanced wet-low-temperature strength of composite-coated paper after high-temperature aging was also investigated. Results demonstrate that compared to the coated paper without lignin/xylan additives, which exhibited wet-low-temperature tensile strengths of 2.92 MPa, the lignin/xylan-added coated paper maintained tensile strengths of 8.26 MPa under similar conditions. Furthermore, the presence of lignin/xylan significantly mitigates the formation of pores and cracks in the coated paper after high-temperature aging. This study provides a novel approach and theoretical guidance for utilizing wood fiber materials in extreme packaging environments.

In this study, a series of carbon nanofiber (CNF) based one-dimensional catalysts were prepared by pyrolyzing MIL-88B(Fe) anchored PAN/lignin electrospun nanofibers, which were then employed to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation. The results indicated that adjusting the lignin content in nanofiber precursor could engineer the crystalline phase of iron compounds in the catalysts, as well as their catalytic activity and stability. Specifically, the precursor with lower lignin content was converted into Fe 3 O 4 loaded CNF (P2L1-Fe-C), whereas Fe 3 C loaded CNF was obtained (P1L1-Fe-C) by increasing lignin content to 50 wt% in the nanofiber precursor. Having multiple Fe valence states within Fe 3 C which facilitated internal electron transfer, P1L1-Fe-C exhibited high catalytic activity with high stability and low iron ion leaching when activating PMS for BPA degradation. P1L1-Fe-C/PMS system could produce more kinds of active species including hydroxyl radical (•OH) and multiple non-radical species like singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), high-valent iron-oxo species, and electron transfer process. Comparatively, P2L1-Fe-C/PMS system was only able to produce •OH and 1 O 2 . The existence of more BPA degradation pathways resulted in enhanced resistance of P1L1-Fe-C/PMS system towards various environmental interferences. This study inspires a new thinking of developing iron based Fenton-like catalyst with tunable crystalline phases through precursor recipe regulation, achieving both high activity and stability.
