Article Abstract
In this study, MgO-containing magnetic composite biochar (MBC) was prepared from activated corn stover for the efficient removal of Pb. Through the introduction of magnesium and iron ions, the surface and pore structures of the acid-treated corn stover biochar adsorbent were optimized, with its adsorption capacity being enhanced to 253.6 mg g. MBC showed excellent adsorption performance and monolayer chemisorption, as evidenced by its pseudo-second-order kinetics and conformance with the Langmuir isotherm model. Moreover, it could maintain >85% efficiency even after five regeneration cycles. Mechanistic studies revealed that physical adsorption, electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, and ion exchange were the key pathways of MBC-mediated Pb removal. Finally, XRD and XPS analyses confirmed the occurrence of Pb (OH) precipitation and Pb-O coordination during removal. This study represents an advance in sustainable remediation technologies, providing an eco-friendly solution for managing water pollution and agricultural waste.

Cotton stalk (CTS) and corn stover (CRS) were pretreated using solid alkali (NaOH or Ca(OH)) assisted ball milling (BM). The physicochemical properties of the pretreated materials and their high-solid enzymatic hydrolysis performance were systematically investigated. The interaction between alkali and straw was synergistically enhanced by mechanical force generated during BM, achieving effective lignin removal.

Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a biopolymer with critical applications in osteoarthritis treatment and biomedical sectors, faces production challenges due to low yields and high costs. This study established a high-yield chondroitin (the major precursor of CS) production platform in Corynebacterium glutamicum for the simultaneous utilization of glucose and xylose from corn straw hydrolysate. Firstly, through codon optimization of genes encoding chondroitin synthase (KfoC) and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-4-epimerase (KfoA), combined with tailoring metabolic pathways and medium components for chondroitin synthesis, yielded the high-titer strain CgC25.

Biomass-derived carboxymethyl cellulose lithium (CMCLi) was synthesized from poplar wood (PW) and corn stover (CS) as sustainable binders for lithium-ion batteries. The raw materials were pretreated with green deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to remove lignin and hemicellulose, followed by bleaching to purify the cellulose. The purified cellulose was subsequently subjected to alkaline swelling, alkalization, and etherification to produce CMC-Li binders.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soils poses severe threats to human health and ecosystem integrity. While biochar is recognized for its ability to immobilize heavy metals, the impact of plant-derived low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs), such as citric acid (CA), on this process remains unclear. This study shows that CA and biochar synergistically immobilize Cd in alkaline soil from extensively polluted southeastern Hubei, China.
