As an environmentally friendly lignocellulosic biomass separation technology, hydrothermal pretreatment (HP) has a strong application prospect. However, the low separation efficiency is a main factor limiting its application. In this study, the poplar components were separated using HP with ferric chloride and pH buffer (HFB).

The use of fertilizer is closely related to crop growth and environmental protection in agricultural production. It is of great significance to develop environmentally friendly and biodegradable bio-based slow-release fertilizers. In this work, porous hemicellulose-based hydrogels were created, which had excellent mechanical properties, water retention properties (the water retention ratio in soil was 93.

Chlorine dioxide is widely used for pulp bleaching because of its high delignification selectivity. However, efficient and clean chlorine dioxide bleaching is limited by the complexity of the lignin structure. Herein, the oxidation reactions of phenolic (vanillyl alcohol) and non-phenolic (veratryl alcohol) lignin model species were modulated using chlorine dioxide.

As a green and efficient component separation technology, organic acid pretreatment has been widely studied in biomass refining. In particular, the efficient separation of lignin by -toluenesulfonic acid (-TsOH) pretreatment has been achieved. In this study, the mechanism of the atmospheric separation of bagasse lignin with -TsOH was investigated.

Aromatic and hydroxyl acid treatments demonstrate their respective characteristics for the separation of lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, the effect of salicylic acid (SA-A) treatment on the separation of eucalyptus components with both aromatic and hydroxyl acid properties was analyzed. The optimal conditions were SA-A concentration 9.
