Bioremediation is one of efficient methods to solve the issues of water or soil contaminated by metal ions . However, the harvested biowaste is often troublesome to handle owing to the second pollution. Herein, the waste eggshell membrane was used to adsorb Cu 2+ in wastewater, which was then converted into biochar containing copper ions (Cu 2+ -Cu + /Biochar) via a rapid pyrolysis . By integrating the collective advantages of eggshell membrane and Cu 2+ -Cu + , such as superior electrical conductivity, enlarged electrochemically active surface area, unique three-dimensional porous network characteristics, and fast charge transport, the Cu 2+ -Cu + /Biochar system can be used as a self-supporting sensor for detection of nitrite (NO 2 − ). The sensor demonstrated superior electrochemical sensing abilities accompanied by a broad linear range (1–300 μM), ultralow detection limit (0.63 μM), and high sensitivity (30.0 μA·mM −1 ·cm −2 ). In addition, the fabricated electrochemical sensor has excellent stability, good reproducibility, and strong anti-interference performance. More importantly, the sensor has a high recovery rate when it is used to detect nitrite in tap water , mineral water , and sausage, indicating the feasibility of using this sensor in practical applications. This study provides a green and sustainable approach for simultaneous treatment of biomass waste eggshell membrane, remedy of heavy metals, and electrochemical detection of nitrite.

In this study, the rice husk-based activated carbon was prepared via pyrolysis of rice husk and simultaneous KOH-activation and EDTA-4Na-modification and used for phenol adsorption from water. When the rice-husk was carbonized at 500 °C and activated at 750 °C with mass ratio of carbon to KOH of 1:3, an activated carbon can be prepared, with rich micro-porosity, high specific area of 2087 m 2 ·g −1 and maximum phenol adsorbance of 194.24 mg·g −1 . When the above activated carbon is prepared by simultaneous KOH-activation and EDTA-4Na-modification at 750 °C, N-containing functional groups were introduced to the activated carbon, which is beneficial to the adsorption of phenol . Under optimum conditions with mass ratio of carbon : KOH : EDTA-4Na = 1:3:1, the specific surface area of the resulting activated carbon decreases to 1368 m 2 ·g −1 , while its maximum adsorption capacity for phenol increases to 215.27 mg·g −1 . The adsorption kinetics of phenol on activated carbon agrees with the pseudo-second-order adsorption model, and the adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir pattern.

Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts were synthesized by the impregnation method and used to produce aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs)-rich bio-oil via catalytic fast pyrolysis of cellulose . The upgraded products were on-line analyzed by pyrolysis-comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC × GC/MS). It was found that Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts were effective for improving the relative content of AHs in bio-oil. Especially, Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 contributed the highest AHs content (85.82%), which was 3 times than that of γ-Al 2 O 3 , and increased 85.44% compared with non-catalytic. In addition, Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 and Pt–Sn/γ-Al 2 O 3 can generate the highest monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) with the relative content of 60.24% and 51.92%, respectively. Pt–Sn–Ce/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst can be reused five times with stable catalytic activity to produce AHs-rich bio-oil.

Ultrahigh-temperature ceramics were added to C/C composites to meet their application requirement in a high-temperature oxidizing environment. C/C−ZrB 2 −SiC composites were fabricated by high-solid-loading slurry impregnation with polymer infiltration and pyrolysis. The dispersion and rheological behavior of ZrB 2 slurry and the microstructural, mechanical, and ablation properties of the C/C−ZrB 2 −SiC composites were investigated. Results indicated that a well-dispersed and low-viscosity ZrB 2 slurry was obtained using 0.40 wt.% polyethyleneimine as a dispersant at pH 5. Ceramics were uniformly distributed in the short-cut fiber layer and needle-punched area. The flexural strength of the C/C−ZrB 2 −SiC composites was 309.30 MPa. The composites exhibited satisfactory ablation resistance under the oxyacetylene flame of 2500 °C, and the mass and linear ablation rates were 0.40 mg/s and 0.91 μm/s, respectively. A continuous and compact ZrO 2 layer, which could effectively reduce the diffusion rate of oxygen and protect the composites from being ablated, was formed.

The feasibility of α-Fe 2 O 3 catalyst addition in the in-situ catalytic fast pyrolysis of Pinewood was considered with the focus on the variation in its shape: nano-sized non-ideal spheres, nanotubes, hollow nano/microtubes, and octadecahedral crystals. Nano-sized spheres strongly promoted the formation of acetaldehyde, something that was also observed for the octadecahedral crystals. The formation of acids was primarily facilitated through the addition of nanotube catalysts and octadecahedral crystals. Newly formed alicyclic ketonic compounds were promoted through the addition of nano-sized spheres, hollow nano/microtubes, and octadecahedral crystals. The latter two catalysts also showed a moderate selectivity in the formation of furfural. All applied catalysts showed loss of activity, though at different degrees, on the formation of lignin derived phenolic compounds, which can be primarily attributed to favoring the formation of char with simultaneous release of CO 2 . All used α-Fe 2 O 3 catalysts with different shapes maintained their original morphology after the rapid heating with the rate of 20 K/ms followed by catalytic fast pyrolysis at 500 °C, indicating that nanomaterials with targeted dimensions can be applied as catalysts in the catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass to enhance conversion of undesired oxygenated compounds to higher quality bio-oil and valuable chemicals.

Biochar has attracted wide interest due to its important role in the synthesis of functionalized carbon materials. Molten alkali carbonates (MC) pyrolysis as a novel mean was explored to obtain superior bamboo biochar compared with alkali impregnation pretreating bamboo powder associated with pyrolysis. The properties of biochar produced by MC pyrolysis were enhanced, suggesting an increase in BET surface area of 43.59 m 2 /g compared with non-pretreat biochar of 5.76 m 2 /g, and possessed preferable pore structure than the alkali impregnation one of 39.82 m 2 /g and 16.98 nm for catalyst support. Besides, pyrolysis temperature reinforced the porosity and the degree of carbonization as it rising, however, the optimized temperature for top-grade biochar materials was 450 °C. The MC weakened the hydrogen bonds network in bamboo powder acting a similar role just as alkaline pretreated, meanwhile neutralized the acid produced during pyrolysis process supported by the analysis of FTIR and TGA . The potential pathways of biomass pyrolysis with MC had also been proposed. In addition, the biochar obtained was utilized as a catalyst support of biochar-bearing sulfonic acid groups, which achieved the remarkable yields of TRS and glucose (52.8% and 43.5%) in hydrolysis of cellulose.

N-doped ordered mesoporous carbons (NOMC) were prepared with mixed solution of urea and sucrose as carbon source and nitrogen source. SBA-15 was adopted as the hard template. The effect of urea to sucrose molar ratio on NOMC was investigated. NOMC samples were characterized by techniques such as BET, TEM, XPS and TG. The catalytic performances of NOMC catalysts were evaluated for the pyrolysis of 1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane (HCFC-142b, CH 3 CClF 2 ) to vinylidene fluoride (VDF, CH 2 =CF 2 ). The catalytic reactions were carried out at 400 °C and space velocity of 600 h −1 (based on HCFC-142b). The results indicate that NOMC exhibits a stable activity at 400 °C with high HCFC-142b conversion and selectivity to VDF. The textural parameters of NOMC play a major role in VDF selectivity and N species over the carbon surface are responsible for NOMC catalytic performance. Compared with the temperatures of industrial manufacture of VDF at 650–700 °C, the NOMC catalysts provide a promising pathway to produce VDF at much lower temperatures (below 400 °C).

A facile method for fabrication of In 2 O 3 /Co 3 O 4 @palygorskite composites from a Co/In-based metal-organic framework (MOF) was reported. First, Co/In-MOFs hybridized with palygorskite (PAL) was prepared via a one-pot solvothermal method. Second, In 2 O 3 /Co 3 O 4 @PAL composites were obtained by pyrolysis of In 2 O 3 /Co 3 O 4 @PAL in air. It was found that the In 2 O 3 /Co 3 O 4 @PAL composite exhibited higher photocatalytic activities than In 2 O 3 /Co 3 O 4 to the degradation of MB and TC under visible-light irradiation. About 99% of MB (within 40 min) and 80% of TC (within 120 min) were degraded using In 2 O 3 /Co 3 O 4 @5.0%PAL as catalyst. It was supposed that the efficient adsorption of MB and TC, and electrostatic interactions between electron–hole and PAL were responsible for such improvement. The photocatalytic degradation mechanisms of MB and TC on the In 2 O 3 /Co 3 O 4 @PAL were investigated. This work shows that hybridization MOFs with PAL could enhance the photocatalytic properties of MOFs-derived metal oxides for water treatment.

The development of sustainable techniques to convert lignocellulosic materials into value-added chemicals remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report a novel technique to directly convert wheat straw to furan compounds, bio-oils, and phosphate fertilizers. Untreated wheat straw was initially converted into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural in a biphasic reaction system using FePO4 and NaH2PO4 as co-catalyst. The remaining FePO4 in the solid residues was used as the catalyst to pyrolyze the solid residues, producing bio-oils and bio-char-based phosphate fertilizers. This combination of FePO4 and NaH2PO4 co-catalyst exhibited higher selectivity towards HMF and furfural production than using only FePO4 as a catalyst in the conversion of wheat straw. The maximum HMF yield, 44%, was obtained when the reaction was carried out at 160 °C for 60 min, while the highest furfural yield, 92%, was achieved when the reaction occurred at 150 °C for 60 min. This reaction system is one of the most effective reaction systems to date for the conversion of wheat straw. Excessive Brønsted or Lewis acid sites (Fe ions) cannot give high yields of HMF and furfural due to the formation of by-products, indicating that a synergistic combination of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites is critical to obtain high yields of furan compounds. Interestingly, FePO4 could effectively catalyze the pyrolysis of unconverted cellulose into new compounds, such as 5-methylfuran and 2,5-methylfuran, which is not observed in non-catalyzed pyrolysis.

Multi-heterojunctions are more promising than single-heterojunctions in photocatalysis due to the availability of more interfaces between each component. However, photocatalytic activity is highly dependent on the contact mode of individual components. In this work, we assemble TiO2–WO3–Pt multi-heterojunction microspheres using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and focus on their contact mode governed photocatalytic activity. The results reveal that using highly crystalline WO3 nanosheets as building blocks could particularly enhance the photocatalytic activity of a TiO2/WO3 system toward the degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde and isopropyl alcohol. Furthermore, loading Pt nanoparticles onto WO3 nanosheets could facilitate a more prominent enhancement of activity than that of TiO2/Pt, benefiting from the two-electron reduction of oxygen at the interface of WO3/Pt. Meanwhile, the high crystallinity of WO3 nanosheets allows for a loading amount of Pt as low as 0.04 wt% in the TiO2–WO3–Pt system, which reduces the catalyst cost in comparison with that of the conventional amount of 1 wt%.

Characterizing the pyrolysis of inorganic matter-rich biomass is important for the preparation of bio-fuel precursors. Here, thermogravimetric and pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (Py-GC/MS) were employed to elucidate the specific pyrolysis mechanisms of demineralized wood dust (AWD) impregnated with varying amounts of the inorganic compounds, copper and potassium . During the pyrolysis process, there was a dramatic decomposition of hemicellulose (at 200–320°C) and of cellulose (at 320–420 °C), along with slow lignin degradation. The decomposition of hemicellulose was substantially promoted with an increasing amount of copper. In addition, a decreased amount of aldehydes and phenols was observed, indicating a lower level of cellulose and lignin degradation, which led to more generation of bio-fuel precursors (C 5 –C 16 ). In contrast to copper, potassium substantially promoted the decomposition of cellulose and lignin, but had negligible effect on hemicellulose. In the presence of both copper and potassium, the latter had a more dominant role causing an increased amount of small molecular compounds (C 2 –C 4, i.e., from 10.91% to 22.12%), and decreased amounts of bio-fuel precursors (i.e., from 62.19% to 52.49%). The various decomposition pathways that might be involved in the catalytic pyrolysis of wood using copper and potassium are discussed.

This study investigates the effectiveness of a two-stage process aimed at achieving sustainable aromatic production through the co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastic, followed by catalytic reforming utilizing an Fe-modified ZSM-5 catalyst. To characterize the thermal decomposition behavior and monitor the progression of volatile compounds during the co-pyrolysis process, we employed thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in conjunction with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Additionally, we conducted a compositional analysis of the resultant bio-oil. This study demonstrates that the co-pyrolysis process, employing a catalyst-to-feedstock ratio of 1:1 with the 10Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst (10 wt.% Fe loading), significantly increases the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons to 67.38%. This yield is markedly higher compared to the aromatic hydrocarbon yield of 55.37% obtained from catalytic pyrolysis of biomass alone. Moreover, these findings highlight the potential of this integrated methodology as a promising pathway for transforming waste materials into value-added chemicals, thereby improving bio-oil quality through the enrichment of aromatic compounds.
