Ionic liquids (ILs) have been considered as promising alternatives to traditional reagent for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment because of their tunable physicochemical and "green" properties. In the study, the influence of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Bmim]acetate) pretreatment of giant reed on H yield improvement via photo-fermentation (PF) was evaluated. Under the optimal pretreatment conditions (6 g/L [Bmim]acetate at 70 °C for 4 h), the delignification of giant reed was up to 26.7 %. In addition, the sugar yield (9.5 g/L) and hydrogen yield (72.3 mL/g TS) from giant reed were enhanced by 1.7-fold and 61.7 % over those of untreated giant reed, respectively. Moreover, ternary analysis showed that retention time had the strongest effect on delignification, sugar yield and hydrogen yield of giant reed compared to pretreatment temperature and [Bmim]acetate loading. These experimental results indicated that [Bmim]acetate pretreatment of giant reed is an effective approach to enhance the hydrogen yield via PF.

Uterine leiomyoma, also referred to as fibroid or myoma, is a prevalent benign tumor that can present with a range of clinical manifestations. The symptoms, which vary based on the tumor's location, size, and number, include pain, constipation, urinary disturbances, and abnormal menstrual bleeding. Certain types of uterine leiomyomas, such as pedunculated subserosal myomas or large degenerating cystic myomas, may closely mimic ovarian tumors, leading to significant diagnostic and management challenges.

The development and utilization of unconventional forage resources is crucial to alleviating the current situation of shortage of forage resources. Giant reed () is a promising forage resource from the Poaceae family, one of the largest herbaceous plants globally, with fast growth, high biomass yield, and strong ecological adaptability. However, there are still very few reports on the use of giant reed in livestock and poultry production.

The dwindling availability of agricultural land, caused by factors such as rapid population growth, urban expansion, and soil contamination, has significantly increased the pressure on food production. To address this challenge, cultivating non-food crops on contaminated land has emerged as a promising solution. This approach not only frees up fertile soil for food production but also mitigates human exposure to contaminants.

The textile industry is discharging high concentrations of anionic and cationic azo dyes into the nearby environment, which can cause adverse effects on public health, and the aquatic environment. Therefore, this study aimed to develop giant reed biochar and apply for the removal of Basic blue 41 (BB41) and Eriochrome black T (EBT) azo dyes from water. Characterization techniques such as BET surface area analyzer, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) were applied for biochar description.
