From cane to nano: advanced nanomaterials derived from sugarcane products with insights into their synthesis and applications. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS 2024; 25:2393568. [PMID: 39238510 PMCID: PMC11376298 DOI: 10.1080/14686996.2024.2393568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
Sugarcane-based products are inherently rich in elements such as silicon, carbon and nitrogen. As such, these become ideal precursors for utilization in a wide array of application fields. One of the appealing areas is to transform them into nanomaterials of high interest that can be employed in several prominent applications. Among nanomaterials, sugarcane products based on silica nanoparticles (SNPs), carbon dots (CDs), metal/metal oxide-based NPs, nanocellulose, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), and nano biochar are becoming increasingly reported. Through manipulation of the experimental conditions and choosing suitable starting precursors and elements, it is possible to devise these nanomaterials with highly desired properties suited for specific applications. The current review presents the findings from the recent literature wherein an effort has been made to convey new development in the field of sugarcane-based products for the synthesis of the above-mentioned nanomaterials. Various nanomaterials were systematically discussed in terms of their synthesis and application perspectives. Wherever possible, a comparative analysis was carried out to highlight the potential of sugarcane products for the intended purpose as compared to other biomass-based materials. This review is expected to stand out in delivering an up-to-date survey of the literature and provide readers with necessary directions for future research.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128517. [PMID: 38040157 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
Water pollution presents a significant challenge, impacting ecosystems and human health. The necessity for solutions to address water pollution arises from the critical need to preserve and protect the quality of water resources. Effective solutions are crucial to safeguarding ecosystems, human health, and ensuring sustainable access to clean water for current and future generations. Generally, cellulose and its derivatives are considered potential substrates for wastewater treatment. The various cellulose processing methods including acid, alkali, organic & inorganic components treatment, chemical treatment and spinning methods are highlighted. Additionally, we reviewed effective use of the cellulose derivatives (CD), including cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nano-fibrils (CNFs), CNPs, and bacterial nano-cellulose (BNC) on waste water (WW) treatment. The various cellulose processing methods, including spinning, mechanical, chemical, and biological approaches are also highlighted. Additionally, cellulose-based materials, including adsorbents, membranes and hydrogels are critically discussed. The review also highlighted the mechanism of adsorption, kinetics, thermodynamics, and sorption isotherm studies of adsorbents. The review concluded that the cellulose-derived materials are effective substrates for removing heavy metals, dyes, pathogenic microorganisms, and other pollutants from WW. Similarly, cellulose based materials are used for flocculants and water filtration membranes. Cellulose composites are widely used in the separation of oil and water emulsions as well as in removing dyes from wastewater. Cellulose's natural hydrophilicity makes it easier for it to interact with water molecules, making it appropriate for use in water treatment processes. Furthermore, the materials derived from cellulose have wider application in WW treatment due to their inexhaustible sources, low energy consumption, cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and renewable nature.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023:138966.

Abstract
The landfilling of paper mill sludge (PMS) has been restricted or even banned in many countries due to the raised concern about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contamination of the soil and water, calling for a sustainable PMS management approach. The potential valorization of PMS to nanomaterials combined with traditional biorefinery was examined in this work. Three types of PMS-derived cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were prepared and evaluated: enzymatically assisted CNF (AU: with in-house produced enzyme and CT: with commercial enzyme), mechanically pretreated CNF (BT), and chemically pretreated CNF by TEMPO oxidation (TEMPO). It was found that enzyme-assisted mechanical fibrillation-derived CNFs had a comparable average diameter (27.9 nm for AU and 22.7 nm for CT) with that produced from mechanical pretreatment (26.5 nm for BT) and TEMPO oxidation pretreatment (20.0 nm for TEMPO), and they showed the best drainage properties among the three types of CNF. The CNFs resulting from enzymatic pretreatment reduced 15% of energy consumption compared to the mechanical method and had better thermostability than TEMPO oxidation method. In addition, the on-site produced enzyme showed similar performance to the commercial enzymes towards the CNF properties. These findings provide new insights into a promising integrated strategy in engineering CNF from PMS with on-site enzyme production as a novel and sustainable approach for PMS management and valorization.

Abstract
Tobacco based cellulose nanofiber (TCNF) is a novel nanocellulose that has recently been used to replace undesirable wood pulp fibers in the preparation of reconstructed tobacco sheets (RTS). However, given the strict requirements for controlling toxic chemical content in tobacco products, there is a global interest in developing a green, efficient, and toxic-chemical free approach to isolate TCNF from tobacco stem as a bioresource. In this study, we propose a creative and environmentally friendly method to efficiently and safely isolate TCNF from tobacco stem pulp, which involves integrated biological pretreatment followed by a facile mechanical defibrillation process. Feruloyl esterase is used to pretreat the stem pulp by disrupting the ether and ester bonds between lignin and polysaccharide carbohydrates within the fiber wall, which effectively facilitates cellulase hydrolysis and swelling of the stem pulp fiber, as well as the following mechanical shearing treatment for TCNF isolation. The results demonstrate that TCNF obtained by the comprehensive feruloyl esterase/cellulase/mechanical process exhibit uniform and well-dispersed nanofiber morphology, higher crystallinity, and stronger mechanical properties than those of the control. The addition of 0.5 % TCNF can replace wood pulp by 18 wt% ~ 25 wt% in the production of RTS samples while maintaining their reasonable strength properties.

Abstract
The soluble and fermentable carbohydrate contents was detected over 47% of glucose and fructose in Chinese Elaeagnus angustifolia fruit powder (EAF), being over 47 wt% sugar content more than that of grape. Ethanol was therefore fermented directly from EAF, and different submerged fermentation modes were comparatively employed to optimize ethanol harvest. The results indicated that glucose has certain competitive inhibition on fructose bio-utilization, as well as the EAF solid residue involved fermentation mode also hindered the fermented-ethanol titer. Pectinase addition and in situ hydrolysis seemed to assist somewhat the fermentation. The water-solute fermentation mode is preferable, and glucose and fructose components were completely consumed and converted to 80.96 g/L ethanol at 87.6% ethanol yield even under tannin and pectin inhibition. The fermentation result could provide some experimental data and an approach to not only new biomass resource explores of bioethanol and alcohol beverage production, but also the technological development on valorization commercials of EAF in global draught areas.

Abstract
Developing cellulose nanocrystal (CNCs) preparation techniques is a challenge confronted by many researchers. The advantages of property remain the reason for research to be developed. To deal with this issue, it is essential to conduct research related to process optimization, particularly in the hydrolysis process, which is the primary step in forming CNCs. In this study, the effect of sonication-assisted hydrolysis time was investigated. XRD characterization showed that the CNCs formed where the first group with specific peaks indicated. The crystallinity of CNCs decreased with increasing sonication duration, indicating that sonication-assisted hydrolysis was nonselective. The crystallinity of CNCs obtained for 15, 30, and 45 min was 61.6, 55.0, and 48.4 %, respectively. For sonication duration variations of 15, 30, and 45 min, the hydration diameter of CNCs was nearly identical at 42.35 ± 27.10, 42.99 ± 29.46, and 42.63 ± 29.49 nm, respectively. Similarly, the removal of methylene blue can be achieved using CNCs bio-adsorbent. The results of percent removal of methylene blue under sonication treatment of 15, 30, and 45 min of sonication were 73.34; 73.62; 72.86 %, respectively. The adsorption rate of CNCs follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with the adsorption values under sonication treatment of 15, 30, and 45 min were 0.075 ± 0.008; 0.166 ± 0.013; 0.078 ± 0.005 g mg-1 min-1, respectively.

Abstract
Schinus molle (SM) was investigated as a primary source of cellulose with the aim of discovering resources to generate cellulose nanofibers (CNF). The SM was put through a soda pulping process to purify the cellulose, and then, the fiber was treated with an enzymatic treatment. Then, a twin-screw extruder and/or masuko were utilized to help with fiber delamination during the nanofibrillation process. After the enzymatic treatment, the twin-screw extruder and masuko treatment give a yield of 49.6 and 50.2%, respectively. The optical and atomic force microscopy, morfi, and polymerization degrees of prepared cellulosic materials were established. The pulp fibers, collected following each treatment stage, demonstrated that fiber characteristics such as length and crystallinity varied according to the used treatment (mechanical or enzymatic treatment). Obviously, the enzymic treatment resulted in shorter fibers and an increased degree of polymerization. However, the CNF obtained after enzymatic and extrusion treatment was achieved, and it gave 19 nm as the arithmetic width and a Young's modulus of 8.63 GPa.

Abstract
There has been increasing exploration of the development and production of biodegradable polymers in response to issues with petrol-based polymers and their impact on the environment. Here we report a new approach to synthesize a natural nanogel from lignin and nanocellulose. First lignin nanobeads were synthesized by a solvent-shifting method, which showed a spherical shape with a diameter of 159.7 nm. Then the lignin nanobeads were incorporated into a nanocellulose network to form the lignin/cellulose nanogels. The nanocellulose fibrils (CNF-C) nanogels reveal a higher storage modulus than the nanocellulose crystal (CNC-C) ones due to the denser network with self-entanglement of longer cellulose chains. The presence of lignin nanobeads in the nanogels helped to increase the viscoelasticity of the nanogels. This work highlights that the new kinds of green nanogels could be potentially utilized in a variety of biomedical applications such as drug delivery and wound dressing.

Abstract
Lophatherum gracile Brongn. (LGB), a homology material of medicine and food, has plentiful cellulose. Aiming to investigate the physiochemical characteristic differences of LGB cellulose extracted by various pretreatment methods and extraction conditions, the effect of dry crushing and wet beating, and the alkaline solution concentration and temperature were compared. Results showed that the extracted cellulose after dry crushing pretreatment had higher purity and lower non-cellulosic components such as hemicellulose, lignin and ash than those obtained by wet beating pretreatment. Furthermore, the impurities were more thoroughly removed by the alkaline solution at high concentration and temperature. Structural characterization revealed that the cellulose obtained by wet beating pretreatment had more fibrillation and smaller particle size, while destroyed crystallinity resulting in bad thermal stability. The alkaline solution temperature had no effect on the morphology and particle size, but high alkaline solution temperature (90 °C) improved crystallinity and thermal stability. Furtherly, the cellulose II produced by at high alkaline solution concentration (18 wt%) exhibited denser surface, smaller particle size and higher thermal stability than the cellulose I extracted at low alkaline solution concentration (4 wt%). Especially, the crystallinity of cellulose II was higher than that of cellulose I with dry crushing pretreatment, while the cellulose obtained by wet beating displayed an opposite trend. Hydration properties indicated that the water holding capacity, oil binding capacity and swelling capacity of the cellulose pretreated by dry crushing were higher than those of the cellulose pretreated by wet beating, and the cellulose I exhibited higher hydration properties compared to the cellulose II, which may depend on its loose network structure. This study suggested that dry crushing pretreatment and high alkaline solution temperature could effectively improve functional properties of LGB cellulose I and II, which promoted its use in food applications.

Abstract
Synthetic polymers, commonly referred to as plastics, are anthropogenic contaminants that adversely affect the natural ecosystems. The continuous disposal of long lifespan plastics has resulted in the accumulation of plastic waste, leading to significant pollution of both marine and terrestrial habitats. Scientific pursuit to seek environment-friendly materials from renewable resources has focused on cellulose, the primary reinforcement component of the cell wall of plants, as it is the most abundantly available biopolymer on earth. This paper provides an overview on the current state of science on nanocellulose research; highlighting its extraction procedures from lignocellulosic biomass. Literature shows that the process used to obtain nanocellulose from lignocellulosic biomass greatly influences its morphology, properties and surface chemistry. The efficacy of chemical methods that use alkali, acid, bleaching agents, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvent for pre-treatment of biomass is discussed. There has been a continuous endeavour to optimize the pre-treatment protocol as it is specific to lignocellulosic biomass and also depends on factors such as nature of the biomass, process and environmental parameters and economic viability. Nanofibers are primarily isolated through mechanical fibrillation while nanocrystals are predominantly extracted using acid hydrolysis. A concise overview on the ways to improve the yield of nanocellulose from cellulosic biomass is also presented in this review. This work also reviews the techniques used to modify the surface properties of nanocellulose by functionalizing surface hydroxyl groups to impart desirable hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance. An assessment on the emerging application of nanocellulose with an emphasis on development of nanocomposite materials for designing environmentally sustainable products is incorporated. Finally, the status of the industrial production of nanocellulose presented, which indicates that there is a continuously increased demand for cellulose nanomaterials. The demand for cellulose is expected to increase further due to its increasing and broadening applications.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofibril (CNF)-added polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) hydrogels were prepared using different types of CNFs and their properties were investigated. CNFs with different morphology and surface charge properties were prepared through quaternization and carboxymethylation pretreatments. The quaternized CNF exhibited the narrow and uniform width, and higher viscoelastic property compared to untreated and carboxymethylated CNF. When CNF was incorporated to PVP hydrogel, gel contents of all hydrogels were similar, irrespective of CNF addition quantity or CNF type. However, the absorptivity of the hydrogels in a swelling medium increased by adding CNF. In particular, the quaternized CNF-added PVP hydrogel exhibited the highest swelling ability. Unlike that of hydrogels with untreated and carboxymethylated CNFs, the storage modulus of PVP hydrogels after swelling significantly increased with an increase in the content of the quaternized CNF. These indicate that a PVP hydrogel with a high absorptivity and storage modulus can be prepared by incorporating the proper type of CNF.

Abstract
Superfine pulverisation (SFP) pretreatment of Lycium barbarum L. leaves was performed to obtain highly crystalline cellulose. Compared with other common pulverisation methods, SFP enhanced cellulosic crystallinity by 18.3 % and 8.4 %, with and without post-acid treatments, respectively. XRD and solid-state NMR analyses showed that SFP facilitated the exposure of amorphous substances (i.e., hemicellulose and lignin) to NaOH and H2O2. Large amounts of silicon (5.5 %) and aluminium (2.1 %) were found to incorporate into the crystalline regions of SFP-produced cellulose. Further FTIR and thermogravimetric analyses revealed that SFP-produced cellulose contained large amounts of hydroxyl groups, affecting the cellulosic crystallinity and thermal stability. These findings demonstrate the potential for SFP to serve as a green technology for production of highly crystalline and mineral-rich cellulose.

Abstract
Inspired by a wood-like multicomponent structure, an interface-reinforced method was developed to fabricate high-performance cellulose nanofibril (CNF)/carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites. Holocellulose nanofibrils (HCNFs) with core-shell structure were first obtained from bagasse via mild delignification and mechanical defibration process. The well-preserved native hemicellulose as the amphiphilic shell of HCNFs could act as a binding agent, sizing agent, and even dispersing agent between HCNFs and CNTs. Remarkably, both the tensile strength at high relative humidity (83% RH) and electrical conductivity of the HCNF/CNT nanocomposites were significantly improved up to 121 MPa and 321 S/m, respectively, demonstrating great superiority compared to normal CNF/CNT composite films. Furthermore, these HCNF/CNT composites with outstanding integrated performances exhibited great potential in the field of flexible liquid sensing.

Abstract
Microwave-assisted hydrolysis has been widely studied for cellulose fiber isolation, but the influence of reaction conditions and the microwave non-thermal effect are not well clarified. In this study, a series of well-designed experiments were carried out to measure the effects of reaction conditions including temperature, duration and alkali concentration. Compared to the other parameters, temperature was more relevant to the cellulose content in fiber. It could reach the maximum purity of 90.66 % when the temperature was up to 140 °C. Moreover, the existence of non-thermal effect of microwave has been confirmed through extensive determination and characterization of the fibers obtained from parallel controlled experiments conducted with or without microwave assistance. Approximately 50 %-75 % reduction in reaction time or 67 % of that in chemical costs would be realized under microwave with respect to traditional heating hydrolysis. Therefore, this work provides both deep insight and efficiency strategy into the microwave-assisted cellulose isolation.

Abstract
To develop new cellulases for efficient utilization of the lignocellulose, an endoglucanase (CoCel5A) gene from Colletotrichum orchidophilum was synthesized and a recombinant Pichia pastoris GS115/pPIC9K/cocel5A was constructed for secretory expression of CoCel5A. After purification, the protein CoCel5A was biochemically characterized. The endoglucanase CoCel5A exhibited the optimal activity at 55-75 °C and high thermostability (about 85% residual activity) at the temperature of 55 °C after incubation for 3 h. The highest activity of CoCel5A was detected when 100 mM citric acid buffer (pH 4.0-5.0) was used and excellent pH stability (up to 95% residual activity) was observed after incubation in 100 mM citric acid buffer (pH 3.0-6.0) at 4 °C for 24 h. Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt (n = approx. 500) (CMC) and β-D-glucan were the best substrates for CoCel5A among the tested substrates. The kinetic parameters Vmax, Km, and Kcat/Km values against CMC were 290.70 U/mg, 2.65 mg/mL, and 75.67 mL/mg/s, respectively; and 228.31 U/mg, 2.06 mg/mL, and 76.45 mL/mg/s against β-D-glucan, respectively, suggesting that CoCel5A has high affinity and catalytic efficiency. These properties supported the potential application of CoCel5A in biotechnological and environmental fields.

Abstract
Background:
Cellulose Nanofibrils (CNFs) are natural nanomaterials with nanometer
dimensions. Compared with ordinary cellulose, CNFs own good mechanical properties, large specific
surface areas, high Young's modulus, strong hydrophilicity and other distinguishing characteristics,
which make them widely used in many fields. This review aims to introduce the preparation
of CNFs-based hydrogels and their recent biomedical application advances.
Methods:
By searching the recent literatures, we have summarized the preparation methods of
CNFs, including mechanical methods and chemical mechanical methods, and also introduced the
fabrication methods of CNFs-based hydrogels, including CNFs cross-linked with metal ion and
with polymers. In addition, we have summarized the biomedical applications of CNFs-based hydrogels,
including scaffold materials and wound dressings.
Results:
CNFs-based hydrogels are new types of materials that are non-toxic and display a certain
mechanical strength. In the tissue scaffold application, they can provide a micro-environment for
the damaged tissue to repair and regenerate it. In wound dressing applications, it can fit the wound
surface and protect the wound from the external environment, thereby effectively promoting the
healing of skin tissue.
Conclusion:
By summarizing the preparation and application of CNFs-based hydrogels, we have
analyzed and forecasted their development trends. At present, the research of CNFs-based hydrogels
is still in the laboratory stage. It needs further exploration to be applied in practice. The development
of medical hydrogels with high mechanical properties and biocompatibility still poses significant
challenges.

Abstract
Horticultural plant residues (tomato, pepper, and eggplant) were identified as new sources for lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNF). Cellulosic pulp was obtained from the different plant residues using an environmentally friendly process, energy-sustainable, simple, and with low-chemical reagent consumption. The chemical composition of the obtained pulps was analyzed in order to study its influence in the nanofibrillation process. Cellulosic fibers were subjected to two different pretreatments, mechanical and TEMPO(2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-piperidin-1-oxyl)-mediated oxidation, followed by high-pressure homogenization to produce different lignocellulose nanofibers. Then, LCNF were deeply characterized in terms of nanofibrillation yield, cationic demand, carboxyl content, morphology, crystallinity, and thermal stability. The suitability of each raw material to produce lignocellulose nanofibers was analyzed from the point of view of each pretreatment. TEMPO-mediated oxidation was identified as a more effective pretreatment to produce LCNF, however, it produces a decrease in the thermal stability of the LCNF. The different LCNF were added as reinforcing agent on recycled paperboard and compared with the improving produced by the industrial mechanical beating. The analysis of the papersheets’ mechanical properties shows that the addition of LCNF as a reinforcing agent in the paperboard recycling process is a viable alternative to mechanical beating, achieving greater reinforcing effect and increasing the products’ life cycles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soil-derived exogenous ash (EA) poses a challenge toward lignocellulosic autohydrolysis due to its buffering capacity. Previous works focusing on this phenomenon have failed to also investigate the role that soluble salts, and organic matter plays in this system. Herein, sodium phosphate and sodium humate were employed as model buffering compounds representing soluble salts and organic matter and dosed into a de-ashed wheat straw (DWS) autohydrolysis process to show the potential impacts of WS attached soil conditioners on the WS autohydrolysis efficiency which would further affect the enzymatic digestibility of autohydrolyzed WS. RESULTS Results showed that with the increasing loadings of sodium phosphate and sodium humate resulted in elevated pH values (from 4.0 to 5.1 and from 4.1 to 4.7, respectively). Meanwhile, the reductions of xylan removal yields from ~ 84.3-61.4% to 72.3-53.0% by loading (1-30 g/L) sodium phosphate and sodium humate during WS autohydrolysis lead to a significant decrease of cellulose accessibilities which finally lead to a reduction of the enzymatic digestibility of autohydrolyzed WS from ~ 75.4-77.2% to 47.3-57.7%. CONCLUSION The existence of different types soil conditioner model compounds results in various component fractions from autohydrolyzed WS in the process of autohydrolysis. A lack of sufficient xylan removal was found to drive the significant decrease in enzymatic accessibility. The results demonstrated the various effects of two typical tested soil conditioners on WS autohydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvent (DES) is a promising pretreatment for improving enzymatic digestibility of lignocellulosic material by altering the physicochemical properties. However, few work has been done to quantitatively analysis the physicochemical properties changes of lignocellulosic material with enzymatic digestibility. In this work, DES pretreatment with different molar ratios of choline chloride/lactic acid was carried out on bamboo residues and respective enzymatic digestibility was investigated and linearly fitted with corresponding physicochemical features changes of the pretreated bamboo residues. Results showed that enzymatic digestibility of DES-pretreated bamboo residues was enhanced with the increasing molar ratio of choline chloride/lactic acid, which was due to DES pretreatment's ability to remove lignin and xylan, reduce the degree of polymerization of cellulose, enhance the crystallite size of cellulose, and improve cellulose accessibility. Several compelling linear correlations (R2 = 0.6-0.9) were observable between enzymatic digestibility and these changes of physicochemical properties, demonstrating how DES pretreatment improve the enzymatic digestibility.

Abstract
In recent years, extensive efforts have been devoted to electronic miniaturization and integration. Accordingly, heating up of electronics has become a critical problem that needs to be urgently solved by efficient and reliable thermal management. Electronic device substrates made of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) exhibit outstanding flexibility, mechanical properties, and optical properties. Combining CNFs with high-thermal-conductivly fillers is an effective thermal management technique. This paper focuses on the thermal management of electronic devices and highlights the potential of CNF-based materials for efficient thermal management of energy storage electronic such as supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries and solar cells. A high-thermal-conductivity composite material for electronic devices can be obtained by combining CNFs as the framework material with carbon nanotubes, graphene, and inorganic nitrides. Moreover, The research progress in the application of CNFs-based materials for supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries and solar cells is highlighted, and the emerging challenges of different CNFs-based energy storage devices are discussed.

Abstract
Algal organic matter (AOM) from seasonal algal blooms may be an important precursor of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water. This paper presents the effect of ferrate(VI) treatment on two blue-green algae, Chlorella sp. and Pseudanabaena limnetica, in eutrophic water. The results demonstrated that Fe(VI) removed the algal cells by causing cell death, apoptosis, and lost integrity, and decreased AOM (in terms of total organic carbon) in water via oxidation and coagulation. Chlorination of the Fe(VI) pre-oxidized algal water samples generated halogenated DBPs (including trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, haloketones, chloral hydrate, haloacetonitriles, and trichloronitromethane), but the concentrations of DBPs were lower than those formed in the chlorinated samples without pre-treatment by Fe(VI). Higher Fe(VI) dose, longer oxidation time, and alkaline pH were beneficial in controlling DBPs. In bromide-containing algal solutions, negligible amount of bromo-DBPs were generated in the Fe(VI) pre-oxidation, and halogenated DBPs were mainly formed in the subsequent chlorination.

Abstract
Agro-wastes such as sugar cane bagasse can be explored for use in different aspects. Its applicability as a source of cellulose has attracted much interests especially in biomedical field among various applications. In the current work chemically purified cellulose (CPC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were effectively extracted from sugarcane bagasse (SCB). The cellulose was obtained by chemical treatment of SCB using HNO3, NaOH and a bleaching agent. Nanocrystals were further prepared from the extracted cellulose using H2SO4 hydrolysis followed by washing with deionized water and acetone. The obtained materials were characterized for surface morphological using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The thermal properties were evaluated using TGA/DTG. The FTIR showed the disappearance of the peaks responsible for the hemicelluloses and lignin. These results were confirmed by TGA which proved gradual elimination of non-cellulosic constituents. X-ray Diffractometer depicted an increase in crystallinity occasioned by sequential treatments to get the cellulose nanocrystals. Cellulose nanocrystals had a spherical shape with a diameter of 38nm as compared to the chemically purified cellulose which had a diameter of 76nm. The CNCs prepared with this method were seen to be less agglomerated and more crystalline thus possess a higher potential as bionanocomposite either for biomedical applications or for wastewater treatment among other industrial application. This approach also provides an opportunity for the sugar companies to effectively manage their waste product.

Abstract
Bimetallic cobalt-nickel phosphides as a microwave absorber with a well-defined 3D hierarchical flower-like architecture featuring the ultrathin 2D subunits are very unusual and rarely reported. Herein, for the first time, we successfully prepared 3D flower-like CoNi-P/C composites with 2D nanosheet subunits via a one-pot solvothermal self-assembled strategy followed by a one-step carbonization-phosphorization process. Interestingly, the chemical composition and electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption performance of composites are highly influenced by the calcination temperature. As the calcination temperature increases from 300 to 500 °C, the crystal pattern transformed from CoP with nickel ions uniformly intercalating into the lattice to the CoNiP structure. Comparing with CoNi-P/C-400 and CoNi-P/C-500, the CoNi-P/C-300 sample exhibited an optimal reflection loss (RL) value of -65.5 dB at 12.56 GHz with a thickness of 2.1 mm and an ultralow filler loading of 15 wt %. Furthermore, the fundamental EM wave absorption mechanism was proposed. The synergetic effects of dramatical attenuation ability and well-matched impedance endue CoNi-P/C-300 with superior microwave absorption performance. This work may be enlightening in promoting the development of heterobimetallic phosphides in the wave-absorbing field due to their intrinsic magnetism, higher electrical conductivity, as well as eco-friendly traits.

Abstract
Nanocomposites consisting of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and nano-aluminum nitride (AlN) were prepared using a simple vacuum-assisted filtration process. Bleached sugarcane bagasse pulp was treated with potassium hydroxide and sodium chlorite, and was subsequently ultra-finely ground and homogenized to obtain CNFs. Film nanocomposites were prepared by mixing CNFs with various AlN amounts (0-20 wt.%). X-ray diffraction revealed that the crystal form of CNF-AlN nanocomposites was different to those of pure CNFs and AlN. The mechanical performance and thermal stability of the CNF-AlN nanocomposites were evaluated through mechanical tests and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The results showed that the CNF-AlN nanocomposites exhibited excellent mechanical and thermal stability, and represented a green renewable substrate material. This type of nanocomposite could present great potential for replacing traditional polymer substrates, and could provide creative opportunities for designing and fabricating high-performance portable electronics in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The acid buffering capacity of high free ash in waste wheat straw (WWS) has been revealed to be a significant hindrance on the efficiency of autohydrolysis pretreatment. Previous researches have mainly relied on washing to eliminate the influence of ash, and the underlying mechanism of the ash influencing was not extensively investigated. Presently, studies have found that cations can destroy the acid buffering capacity of ash through cation exchange. Herein, different cations were applied to presoak WWS with the aim to overcome the negative effects of ash on autohydrolysis efficiency, further improving its enzymatic digestibility. RESULTS Results showed that cations can be adsorbed on the surface of the material by electrostatic adsorption to change the acid buffering capacity of WWS. The acid buffering capacity of 120 mM Fe2+ presoaked WWS is reduced from 226.3 mmol/pH-kg of original WWS to 79.3 mmol/pH-kg. This reduced the autohydrolysis pretreatment medium pH from 5.7 to 3.8 and promoted the removal of xylan from 61.7 to 83.7%. In addition, the enzymatic digestibility of WWS was enhanced from 49.7 to 86.3% by presoaking with 120 mM Fe2+ solution. The relationship between enzymatic accessibility and hydrophobicity with enzymatic digestibility of the autohydrolyzed WWS was analyzed. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that the acid buffering capacity of the high free ash was detrimental for the autohydrolysis efficiency of WWS. After WWS was presoaked with different cations, the acid buffering capacity of ash was weakened by cation exchange and electrostatic adsorption, which improved the autohydrolysis efficiency. The results expound that the enzymatic digestibility of WWS can be enhanced through presoaking to reduce the ash-influencing effect on autohydrolysis.
