Catalytic hydrothermal treatment of wood biomass was performed at 280 degrees C for 15 min in the presence of K2CO3 with different concentrations and biomass/water ratio (thermal). Oil products were extracted from both liquid and solid portion by different solvents and analyzed them individually. The biomass to water ratio has an important effect on product distribution and composition of oil products. Oil 1 (ether extract) with K2CO3 contained mainly phenolic compounds. Benzenediol derivatives were observed with 0.94 M K2CO3 concentration and they were not formed at lower concentrations (0.235 and 0.47 M). The decrease of solid residue was achieved to 4% with 0.94 M K2CO3 at 280 degrees C for 15 min. The volatility distribution of hydrocarbons (ether extract) were characterized by using C-NP gram. The distribution of oxygenated hydrocarbons changed depending upon the biomass to water ratio and concentration of K2CO3 solution.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, Guizhou, China. Electronic address:

With the arrival of the scrapping wave of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO) batteries, a green and effective solution for recycling these waste batteries is urgently required. Reasonable recycling of spent LiFePO (SLFP) batteries is critical for resource recovery and environmental preservation. In this study, mild and efficient, highly selective leaching of lithium from spent lithium iron phosphate was achieved using potassium pyrosulfate (KSO) and hydrogen peroxide (HO) as leaching agents.

School of Sustainable Engineering and Built Environment, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, 85287, USA.

Negative emissions technologies to mitigate climate change require innovative solutions for the direct air capture (DAC) of CO from the atmosphere. KCO readily reacts with CO to form KHCO; however, bulk KCO suffers from very slow sorption kinetics. By incorporating KCO into activated carbon (AC) fiber felts, the sorption kinetics were significantly improved by increasing the surface area of KCO in contact with air.
