The value-added utilization of tobacco stalk lignin is the key to the development of tobacco stalk resources. However, the serious heterogeneity is the bottleneck for making full use of tobacco stalk lignin. Based on this, lignin was separated from tobacco stalk through hydrothermal assisted dilute alkali pretreatment. Subsequently, the tobacco stalk alkaline lignin was fractionated into five uniform lignin components by sequential solvent fractionation. Advanced spectral technologies (FT-IR, NMR, and GPC) were used to reveal the effects of hydrothermal assisted dilute alkali pretreatment and solvent fractionation on the structural features of tobacco stalk lignin. The lignin fractions extracted with -butanol and ethanol had low molecular weight and high phenolic hydroxyl content, thus exhibiting superior chemical reactivity and antioxidant capacity. By contrast, the lignin fraction extracted with dioxane had high molecular weight and low reactivity, nevertheless, the high residual carbon rate made it suitable as a precursor for preparing carbon materials. In general, hydrothermal assisted dilute alkali pretreatment was proved to be an efficient method to separate lignin from tobacco stalk, and the application of sequential solvent fractionation to prepare lignin fractions with homogeneous structural features has specific application prospect.

Biochar is extensively utilized for the remediation of environments contaminated with heavy metals (HMs). However, its derived-dissolved organic matter (BDOM) can interact with iron oxides, which may adversely influence the retention of HMs. This study investigates the effect of BDOM derived from tobacco stalk (TS) and tobacco petiole (TP) biochar on the redistribution behavior of As(V) in acid mine drainage (AMD)-impacted environments, particularly concentrating on the interactions with Schwertmannite (Sch).

Garlic stalk waste and arbuscular mycorrhizae mitigate challenges in continuously monocropping eggplant obstacles by modulating physiochemical properties and fungal community structure.

BMC Plant Biol

Key laboratory of Plant Resource Conservation and Germplasm Innovation in Mountainous Region (Ministry of Education), College of Life Sciences, Guizhou University, Guiyang, Guizhou, 550025, China.

Background And Aims: Continuous vegetable production under plastic tunnels faces challenges like soil degradation, increased soil-borne pathogens, and diminished eggplant yield. These factors collectively threaten the long-term sustainability of food security by diminishing the productivity and resilience of agricultural soils. This research examined the use of raw garlic stalk (RGS) waste and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) as a sustainable solution for these issues in eggplant monoculture.

The impact of various organic amendments on soil organic carbon (SOC) have rarely been reported. To address this, a laboratory experiment was designed to scrutinize the effects of different amendments on soil carbon fractions, microbial communities, and the underlying interactive mechanisms. The experiment encompassed a no-amendment control (CK), as well as treatments with corn straw (CS), tobacco stalks (TS), and peanut shell biochar (PB).

Waste tobacco stalk is blended with graphite carbon to form a composite carbon source, which is a promising external heating system for heat-not-burn tobaccos. In the current work, the effects of tobacco stalk amounts and the catalyst KCO on the co-combustion characteristics (, the ignition temperature, burnout temperature, ) of graphite carbon were investigated. As a result, the ignition temperatures of the blend were determined by the tobacco straw, while the burnout temperature of the samples was reduced by approximately 60 °C due to the addition of a tobacco stalk.
