Sulfated lignocellulose nanofibril based composite aerogel towards adsorption-photocatalytic removal of tetracycline.

The design-on-demand of lignocellulose nanofibril-based materials for contaminant disposal is worth exploring. Herein, we mildly extract sulfated lignocellulose nanofibrils from bagasse via a deep eutectic solvent-based approach, and use them as a matrix for TiO nanoparticles (TNPs) towards adsorption-photocatalytic synergistic removal of tetracycline (TC). The resultant lignocellulose-based nanocomposite aerogel possessing a high specific surface area (95.

Cationic Lignocellulose Nanofibers from Agricultural Waste as High-Performing Adsorbents for the Removal of Dissolved and Colloidal Substances.

The accumulation of dissolved and colloidal substances (DCS) in the increasingly closed paper circulating water system can seriously lower the productivity and safety of papermaking machines, and it has been a challenge to develop an adsorbent with low cost, high adsorption efficiency and large adsorption capacity for DCS removal. In this study, cationic lignocellulose nanofibers (CLCNF) were obtained by cationic modification of agricultural waste bagasse in deep eutectic solvents (DES) followed by mechanical defibrillation, and then CLCNF were employed as an adsorbent for DCS model contaminant polygalacturonic acid (PGA) removal. CLCNF was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis.
