Article Abstract
Copyrolysis is a potential method for the collaborative disposal of biomass and plastics. There is an interaction between biomass and plastics during copyrolysis. In this work, a combination of ReaxFF-MD simulation and experimental validation was used to investigate the pyrolysis reaction process of the biomass and plastic, observing the evolution of free radicals at the molecular level and exploring the distribution of pyrolysis products. TG-MS results show that reaction temperature ranges for cellulose and PVC are 296-400 and 267-480 °C, respectively. HCl is the main product of PVC pyrolysis, and mixing with cellulose will reduce the yield of HCl. The ReaxFF method was used to model the pyrolysis of cellulose and PVC. The modeling temperature is much higher than the real reaction temperature, which is attributed to the time scale of picoseconds of ReaxFF-MD modeling. Modeling results show that the yield of HCl of the cellulose/PVC mixture is obviously lower than that of pure PVC. When mixed with cellulose, the HCl release is largely inhibited and more chlorine elements are retained in the pyrolysis hydrocarbon fraction or solid products.

The sustainable synthesis of bio-based monomers from renewable biomass intermediates is a central goal in green chemistry and biorefinery innovation. This study introduces a synergistic catalytic-enzymatic strategy for the efficient and eco-friendly oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key monomer for next-generation biodegradable plastics. The catalytic phase employed non-noble metal catalysts, MnO and Co-Mn supported on activated carbon (Co-Mn/AC), under mild batch reaction conditions at 90 °C.

Marine litter typically originates from human discards at sea or enters the ocean through land-based pathways such as surface runoff and natural disasters. The extensive accumulation of plastic litter poses severe threats to marine life. In August 2024, a specialized survey was conducted to investigate the distribution characteristics of marine litter and macrobenthic communities across four intertidal zones on Lvhua Island (XIAO'AO, DA'AO, FANGANG, and SHIZIKENG).

As critical environmental factors, nitrogen and light not only regulate phytoplankton growth but also influence their phenotypic plasticity. Scenedesmus obliquus, an alga which is famous for its remarkable phenotypic plasticity, was studied to understand its response to varying combinations of nitrogen source and light intensity. It was cultured in media containing different nitrogen sources (NaNO, NHCl, CO(NH)) under a range of light intensities (25, 50, 75, 100, 150 µmol photons m s).

Lignocellulosic materials derived from by-products such as cellulose typically provide enhanced interfacial properties when functionalized with coupling agents, such as maleic anhydride (MA), and incorporated into polylactic acid (PLA) polymers. This research aims to identify the optimal conditions for either improving or maintaining PLA properties evaluating interactions by incorporating varying amounts of cellulose (5-28 wt%) extracted from sawdust biomass and PLA-g-MA (3-20 wt%) composites into pure PLA. This is accomplished through an extreme vertices mixture design (EVMD).

Ethylene glycol (EG) derived from biomass and plastic wastes can serve as a sustainable H resource through steam reforming (HOCHCHOH + 2HO ⇄ 5H + 2CO). However, achieving high activity in H production with good selectivity toward CO under mild conditions poses a challenge. A thoughtful understanding of the active sites that accelerate the cleavage of the C-C bond rather than the C-O bond and the activation of the water molecule is still lacking.
