Biomaterials as a support for catalysts are of prime importance. Tapioca root which is an abundant biopolymer source was used to synthesize cellulose supported bio-heterogeneous poly(hydroxamic acid) copper nanoparticles (CuN@PHA) and was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. The tapioca cellulose supported CuN@PHA (50 mol ppm) effectively catalyzed N-alkylation reaction of aliphatic amines with α,β-unsaturated compounds to give the corresponding alkylated products. High yields up to 95% were achieved for the converted products. The reusability of the cellulose supported nanoparticles was found to be excellent with no significant reduction of its catalytic activity over several cycles. The catalyst showed high catalytic activity having turnover number (TON) 18000 and turnover frequency (TOF) 2250 h⁻¹.

Department of Food Engineering, Akdeniz University, 07058 Antalya, Turkey. Electronic address:
This study aimed to enhance inulinase production from agricultural biomass pretreated with deep eutectic solvents (DES) using Aspergillus niger A42 (ATCC 204447). Barley husk (BH), wheat bran (WB), and oat husk (OH) were selected as substrates and were pretreated using different molar ratios of choline chloride: glycerol (ChCl: Gly) and choline chloride: acetic acid (ChCl: AA). DES pretreatment was followed by dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis.

The directional migration of S-vacancy is beneficial to the separation of photogenerated carriers and the transition of electrons in semiconductors. In this study, Bi/BiS@carboxylic-cellulose (CC) photocatalyst with bionic chloroplast structure is obtained by electron beam irradiation to induce S-vacancy in BiS@CC. The results of CO photoreduction experiments demonstrate that the reduction rate of CO to CHOH by Bi/BiS@CC-450 samples is 10.

Bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses are reflective organisms that indicate soil health. Investigating the impact of crude oil pollution on the community structure and interactions among bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses in Calamagrostis epigejos soil can provide theoretical support for remediating crude oil pollution in Calamagrostis epigejos ecosystems. In this study, Calamagrostis epigejos was selected as the research subject and subjected to different levels of crude oil addition (0 kg/hm, 10 kg/hm, 40 kg/hm).

Starch-based bioplastics, due to their abundance, recyclability, and biodegradability, offer a promising alternative to conventional petrochemical-based plastics. Additives significantly influence the functionality of bioplastics. This study investigates the effects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) at varying concentrations on banana starch-based bioplastic films, using glycerol as a plasticizer.
