Facile synthesis of highly efficient and recyclable magnetic solid acid from biomass waste.

ABSTRACT: In this work, sawdust, a biomass waste, is converted into a magnetic porous carbonaceous (MPC) solid acid catalyst by an integrated fast pyrolysis-sulfonation process. The resultant magnetic solid acid has a porous structure with high surface area of 296.4 m(2) g(-1), which can be attributed to the catalytic effect of Fe. The catalytic activity and recyclability of the solid acid catalyst are evaluated during three typical acid-catalyzed reactions: esterification, dehydration, and hydrolysis. The favorable catalytic performance in all three reactions is attributed to the acid's high strength with 2.57 mmol g(-1) of total acid sites. Moreover, the solid acid can be reused five times without a noticeable decrease in catalytic activity, indicating the stability of the porous carbon (PC)-sulfonic acid group structure. The findings in the present work offer effective alternatives for environmentally friendly utilization of abundant biomass waste.

Facile synthesis of boronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for efficient dopamine extraction.

Project description:Because dopamine (DA) is one of the most critical neurotransmitters that influence a wide variety of motivated human behaviors, it is necessary to develop a facile diagnostic tool that can quantify the physiological level. In this study, core-shell magnetic silica nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2) were prepared using a modified sol-gel reaction. The Fe3O4@SiO2 were functionalized using 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) via a facile and rapid synthetic route, hereafter referred to as Fe3O4@SiO2@APBA The resultant Fe3O4@SiO2@APBA not only adsorbed DA molecules, but also were easily separated from solution using a simple magnetic manipulation. The adsorbed amounts of DA by the Fe3O4@SiO2@APBA were quantified by measuring the changes in fluorescence intensity of polydopamine (at 463 nm) originated from the self-polymerized DA remained in the supernatant before and after the adsorption process. The Fe3O4@SiO2@APBA exhibited two-stage adsorption behavior for DA, and the maximal adsorption capacity was 108.46 ?g/g at pH 8.5. Our particle system demonstrated the potential application for extracting compounds with cis-diols (including catechol amines) from the biological fluid.

Facile Synthesis of Microporous Carbons from Biomass Waste as High Performance Supports for Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid.

Project description:Formic acid (FA) is found to be a potential candidate for the storage of hydrogen. For dehydrogenation of FA, the supports of our catalysts were acquired by conducting ZnCl2 treatment and carbonation for biomass waste. The texture and surface properties significantly affected the size and dispersion of Pd and its interaction with the support so as to cause the superior catalytic performance of catalysts. Microporous carbon obtained by carbonization of ZnCl2 activated peanut shells (CPS-ZnCl2) possessing surface areas of 629 m2·g-1 and a micropore rate of 73.5%. For ZnCl2 activated melon seed (CMS-ZnCl2), the surface area and micropore rate increased to 1081 m2·g-1 and 80.0%, respectively. In addition, the introduction of ZnCl2 also caused the increase in surface O content and reduced the acidity of the catalyst. The results represented that CMS-ZnCl2 with uniform honeycomb morphology displayed the best properties, and the as-prepared Pd/CMS-ZnCl2 catalyst afforded 100% hydrogen selectivity as well as excellent catalytic activity with an initial high turnover number (TON) value of 28.3 at 30 °C and 100.1 at 60 °C.

Facile Synthesis of Porous Polymer Using Biomass Polyphenol Source for Highly Efficient Separation of Cs+ from Aqueous Solution.

Project description:In this work, a series of polyphenol porous polymers were derived from biomass polyphenols via a facile azo-coupling method. The structure and morphologies of the polymer were characterized by BET, TEM, SEM, XRD, TGA and FT-IR techniques. Batch experiments demonstrated their potentialities for adsorptive separation of Cs+ from aqueous solution. Among them, porous polymers prepared with gallic acid as starting material (GAPP) could adsorb Cs+ at wide pH value range effectively, and the optimal adsorption capacity was up to 163.6?mg/g, placing it at top material for Cs+ adsorption. GAPP exhibited significantly high adsorption performance toward Cs+ compared to Na+ and K+, making it possible in selective removal of Cs+ from ground water in presence of co-existing competitive ions. Moreover, the Cs-laden GAPP could be facilely eluted and reused in consecutive adsorption-desorption processes. As a result, we hope this work could provide ideas about the potential utilization of biomass polyphenol in environmental remediation.

Glycolysis of Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) Using Biomass-Waste Derived Recyclable Heterogeneous Catalyst.

Project description:Plastic production has increased by almost 200-fold annually from 2 million metric tons per year in 1950s to 359 million metric tons in 2018. With this rapidly increasing production, plastic pollution has become one of the most demanding environmental issues and tremendous efforts have been initiated by the research community for its disposal. In this present study, we reported for the first time, a biomass-waste-derived heterogeneous catalyst prepared from waste orange peel for the depolymerisation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) to its monomer, bis(2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate) (BHET). The prepared orange peel ash (OPA) catalyst was well-characterised using techniques such as IR, inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry), XRD, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), SEM, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), TEM, BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) and TGA. The catalyst was found to be composed of basic sites, high surface area, and a notable type-IV N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm indicating the mesoporous nature of the catalyst, which might have eventually enhanced the rate of the reaction as well as the yield of the product. The catalyst completely depolymerises PET within 90 min, producing 79% of recrystallised BHET. The ability of reusing the catalysts for 5 consecutive runs without significant depreciation in the catalytic activity and its eco- and environmental-friendliness endorses this protocol as a greener route for PET recycling.

Facile Preparation of Porous Carbon Derived from Industrial Biomass Waste as an Efficient CO<sub>2</sub> Adsorbent.

Project description:A porous carbon CO2 adsorbent based on soybean cake (industrial biomass waste) has been successfully prepared by direct carbonation, following KOH activation. The prepared porous carbon adsorbent exhibits efficient CO2 capture performance with the highest adsorption capacity of 4.19 and 6.61 mmol/g at 298 and 273 K under atmospheric pressure, respectively. Moreover, the porous carbon adsorbent also shows good static CO2 adsorption capacity at a low pressure (0.15 bar) with an uptake of 1.26 mmol/g and an equally ideal dynamic CO2 capture capability with an uptake of 1.28 mmol/g (15% CO2) at 298 K. Additionally, the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) model has been used to measure the selectivity of the porous carbon, and the IAST factors of CO2/N2 (15/85, fuel gas), CO2/CH4 (40/60, biogas), and CH4/N2 (50/50, coalbed gas) are about 27, 6, and 6, respectively. The dynamic breakthrough test reveals the strong interaction between the porous carbon and CO2, which also verifies the considerable selective capture ability of this material for CO2. Furthermore, the soybean cake-based CO2 adsorbent also presents prominent cyclic regeneration capacity (a five-time cyclic test) with lower isosteric heats (34-18 kJ/mmol) of CO2 adsorption.

Highly Efficient Biobased Synthesis of Acrylic Acid.

Project description:Petrochemical based polymers, paints and coatings are cornerstones of modern industry but our future sustainable society demands greener processes and renewable feedstock materials. A challenge is to access platform monomers from biomass resources while integrating the principles of green chemistry in their chemical synthesis. We present a synthesis route starting from biomass-derived furfural towards the commonly used monomers maleic anhydride and acrylic acid, implementing environmentally benign photooxygenation, aerobic oxidation and ethenolysis reactions. Maleic anhydride and acrylic acid, transformed into sodium acrylate, were isolated in yields of 85 % (2 steps) and 81 % (4 steps), respectively. With minimal waste and high atom efficiency, this biobased route provides a viable alternative to access key monomers.
