Article Abstract
The preparation of bio-oil through biomass pyrolysis is promoted by different demineralization processes to remove alkali and alkaline earth metal elements (AAEMs). In this study, the hydrothermal pretreatment demineralization was optimized by the response surface method. The pretreatment temperature, time and pH were the response elements, and the total dissolution rates of potassium, calcium and magnesium were the response values. The interactions of response factors for AAEMs removal were analyzed. The interaction between temperature and time was significant. The optimal AAEMs removal process was obtained with a reaction temperature of 172.98 °C, time of 59.77 min, and pH of 3.01. The optimal dissolution rate of AAEMs was 47.59%. The thermal stability of eucalyptus with and without pretreatment was analyzed by TGA. The hydrothermal pretreatment samples exhibit higher thermostability. The composition and distribution of pyrolysis products of different samples were analyzed by Py-GC/MS. The results showed that the content of sugars and high-quality bio-oil (C6, C7, C8 and C9) were 60.74% and 80.99%, respectively, by hydrothermal pretreatment. These results show that the removal of AAEMs through hydrothermal pretreatment not only improves the yield of bio-oil, but also improves the quality of bio-oil and promotes an upgrade in the quality of bio-oil.

In response to the challenges of nutrient limitations and low efficiency in synthesizing artificial humic acid (AHA) during the resource utilization of agricultural wastes, this study innovatively developed a process that integrates biogas slurry (BS) impregnation pretreatment with hydrothermal humification (HTH). Using steam-exploded corn straw (SES) as the raw material, the impregnation parameters were optimized (40 °C, liquid-to-solid ratio of 15:1, 18 h, 3 cycles), achieving an AHA yield of 40.61 %, which was over 15 % higher than that of the untreated group.

Bamboo, as a rapidly renewable biomass material, has garnered significant attention in contemporary research due to its cost effectiveness as a viable source for supercapacitor electrode materials. However, untreated bamboo as an electrode material often leads to poor connectivity and uneven pore distribution. This study introduces a novel approach by using bamboo-derived biological carbon as a conductive substrate, subjecting it to carbonization through white-rot fungal pretreatment to enhance the pore structure and then loading it with nano-MnO sheets via a hydrothermal process.

Crassula "Buddha's Temple" aqueous extract (BTAE), prepared via an optimized, reproducible hydrothermal extraction, exhibits protective antioxidant and lipid regulatory effects in adipocyte models subjected to oxidative stress. The phytochemical profile of BTAE revealed a chemically diverse composition enriched in polyphenols (chlorogenic acid, quercetin, kaempferol, catechin) alongside sulfur-containing metabolites, tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, nucleotides, and peptide-like compounds, indicating multifaceted biochemical activity. In both 2D monolayer and advanced 3D bioprinted 3T3-L1 adipocyte cultures exposed to tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP), BTAE pretreatment (5.

An innovative two-step ammonium persulfate (APS) process for corncob was proposed, utilizing the acidity of APS to produce xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) and its oxidizing capability to generate carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (cCNCs). Treatment with 0.5 % APS at 150 °C for 90 min resulted in a maximum XOS yield of 40.

Sorghum is often subjected to different pre-treatments to improve its nutritional profile and palatability. However, selecting appropriate treatments and understanding their effects on sorghum are challenging. Therefore, an attempt was made to assess the effect of dry- and hydro-thermal treatments on the proximate, physical and functional properties of raw and germinated sorghum flour.
