A cost-effective anionic flocculant prepared by grafting carboxymethyl cellulose and lignosulfonate with acrylamide

How to efficiently utilize most abundant biomass of cellulose, lignin and their derivatives has become an emerging challenge as the anticipative oil depletion. In this paper, the ternary anionic copolymer of carboxymethyl cellulose-acrylamide-lignosulfonate (CAL) was successfully prepared by hydrothermal polymerization. Based on the flocculation characteristics of cationic methylene blue, the optimal polymerization process was confirmed as the raw material ratio of 1:1:1, initiator dosage of 0.9 wt %, the reaction time was 5 h and the reaction temperature was 55 °C. The results showed that the decolorization ratio was 87.5% at the CAL dosage of 600 mg/L for the 500 mg/L methylene blue simulated wastewater. The CAL achieved fast flocculation kinetics and super color removal ratios in the wide ranges of environmental pH, temperature and salt concentration. The flocculation mechanism is single charge neutralization. Moreover, the estimated treatment cost of CAL is 68.3% lower than that of commercial anionic PAM. The prepared anionic CAL flocculant has the characteristics of environmental safety, excellent flocculation performance and cost-effectiveness, which shows great potential in the field of dye wastewater treatment, and also provides a feasible way for the effective utilization of biomass resources.

The synergistic catalysis on Co nanoparticles and CoN_x sites of aniline-modified ZIF derived Co@NCs for oxidative esterification of HMF

An efficient sustainable and scalable strategy for the synthesis of porous cobalt/nitrogen co-doped carbons(Co@NCs) via pyrolysis of aniline-modified ZIFs,has been demonstrated.Aniline can coordinate and absorb on the surface of ZIF(ZIF-CoZn3-PhA),accelerate the precipitation of ZIFs,thus resulting in smaller ZIF particle size.Meanwhile,the aniline on the surface of ZIF-CoZn3-PhA promotes the formation of the protective carbon shell and smaller Co nanoparticles,and increases nitrogen content of the catalyst.Because of these prope rties of Co@NC-PhA-3,the oxidative esterification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural can be carried out under ambient conditions.According to our experimental and computational results,a synergistic catalytic effect between CoN_x sites and Co nanoparticles has been established,in which both Co nanoparticles and CoN_x can activate O_2 while Co nanoparticles bind and oxidize HMF.Moreover,the formation and release of active oxygen species in CoN_x sites are reinfo rced by the electronic interaction between Co nanoparticles and CoN_x.

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural to furfuryl alcohol with formic acid as hydrogen donor over CuCs-MCM catalyst

Catalytic transfer hydroge nation(CTH) of furfural(FF) to furfu ryl alcohol(FFA) has received great intere st in recent years.He rein,Cu-Cs bimetallic supported catalyst,CuCs(2)-MCM,was developed for the CTH of FF to FFA using formic as hydrogen donor.CuCs(2)-MCM achieved a 99.6% FFA yield at an optimized reaction conditions of 170℃,1 h.Cu species in CuCs(2)-MCM had dual functions in catalytically decomposing formic acid to generate hydrogen and hydrogenating FF to FFA.The doping of Cs made the size of Cu particles smaller and improved the dispersion of the Cu active sites.Impo rtantly,the Cs species played a favorable role in enhancing the hydrogenation activity as a promoter by adjusting the surface acidity of Cu species to an appropriate level.Correlation analysis showed that surface acidity is the primary factor to affect the catalytic activity of CuCs(2)-MCM.     

A new hyperbranched star polyether electrolyte with high ionic conductivity

Hyperbranched poly(glycidol) containing hydroxyl groups was firstly synthesized via anionic polymerization and then reacted with 2-bromoisobutyl bromide to form macroinitiator HPG-Br. Finally, a hyperbranched star polymer (HPG-PPEGMA) was successfully prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate using HPG-Br as macroinitiator. The structures and properties of the obtained polymers were characterized by ¹H NMR, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes composed of HPG-PPEGMA and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) (LiTFSI) was investigated via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that the room temperature ionic conductivity of the prepared hyperbranched star polymer electrolytes had a higher ionic conductivity. When [EO]/[Li] was 20, the ionic conductivity of the hyperbranched star polymer electrolyte was up to 1?×?10^?4 Scm^?1 at 30 °C. The onset decomposition temperature of the hyperbranched star polyether could reach 374 °C, indicating that the hyperbranched star polymer had a good thermal stability. The XRD results showed that the structure of the hyperbranched star polymer was beneficial to improve the ionic conductivity due to possessing a low degree of crystallinity.
