Article Abstract
Experiments for cellulose depolymerization by synergy of zinc chloride hydrate (ZnCl·RHO) and sulfated titania catalyst (SO/TiO) were investigated in this study. The results showed the introduction of sulfate into the TiO significantly enhanced the catalyst acid amount, especially for Brønsted acid site, which is beneficial for subsequent cellulose depolymerization. ZnCl·RHO hydrate, only a narrow composition range of water, specifically 3.0≤R≤4.0, can dissolve cellulose, which finally resulted the cellulose with low crystallinity and weak intrachain and interchain hydrogen bond network. Coupling of ZnCl·RHO hydrate and SO/TiO catalyst as a mixed reaction system promoted cellulose depolymerization, and the products can be adjusted by the control of reaction conditions, the low temperature (80-100°C) seemed beneficial for glucose formation (maximal yield 50.5%), and the high temperature (120-140°C) favored to produce levulinic acid (maximal yield 43.1%). Besides, the addition of organic co-solvent making HMF as the main product (maximal yield 38.3%).

Frozen storage deteriorates the texture and digestibility of frozen rice dough by damaging gliadin structure and starch integrity. This study investigated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa) as cry-oprotectants to mitigate these effects. Comprehensive analysis utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), texture profile analysis (TPA), dynamic contact angle measurement (DCAT21), reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and circular dichroism (CD) demonstrated that 1.

TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation is a unique method for converting primary C6-hydroxymethyl groups in water-insoluble regenerated cellulose materials to sodium C6-carboxylate groups in water at room temperature to provide water-soluble polyglucuronates. In this study, 20 % NaOH-treated bacterial cellulose (BC), cotton lint (CL), and ramie cellulose (RC) were oxidized to prepare water-soluble polyglucuronates with high degrees of polymerization and high mass recovery ratios. Solid-state CP/MASS C NMR spectra of the water-soluble products indicated that they contained considerable amounts of C2/C3-ketone hydrate structures (50-60 % of glucuronosyl units).

Reductive catalytic depolymerization of lignin to obtain value-added phenolic monomers has great potential. However, achieving the efficient depolymerization of lignin under hydrogen-free conditions while selectively obtaining specific monomers remains a significant challenge. In this study, MgAlO-based catalysts with well-developed pore structures and abundant oxygen vacancies were fabricated, exhibiting excellent catalytic performance in the depolymerization of various kinds of biomass.

Traditional alkali pretreatment leads to excessive depolymerization of lignin due to the harsh delignification process, which cannot meet the requirements of biorefinery. In this study, an environmentally friendly process for highly selective delignification by geopolymer-enhanced NaOH pretreatment was proposed. Under the optimal conditions (m/m = 5, 120 min and 120 °C), the lignin yield was 60.
