Jing L, Shi T, Chang Y, Meng X, He S, Xu H, Yang S, Liu J. Cellulose-based materials in environmental protection: A scientometric and visual analysis review. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 929:172576. [PMID: 38649055 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
As sustainable materials, cellulose-based materials have attracted significant attention in the field of environmental protection, resulting in the publication of numerous academic papers. However, there is a scarcity of literature that involving scientometric analysis within this specific domain. This review aims to address this gap and highlight recent research in this field by utilizing scientometric analysis and a historical review. As a result, 21 highly cited articles and 10 mostly productive journals were selected out. The scientometric analysis reveals that recent studies were objectively clustered into five interconnected main themes: extraction of cellulose from raw materials and its degradation, adsorption of pollutants using cellulose-based materials, cellulose-acetate-based membrane materials, nanocellulose-based materials, and other cellulose-based materials such as carboxymethyl cellulose and bacterial cellulose for environmental protection. Analyzing the distribution of author keywords and thoroughly examining relevant literature, the research focuses within these five themes were summarized. In the future, the development of eco-friendly and cost-effective methods for extracting and preparing cellulose and its derivatives, particularly nanocellulose-based materials, remains an enduring pursuit. Additionally, machine learning techniques holds promise for the advancement and application of cellulose-based materials. Furthermore, there is potential to expand the research and application scope of cellulose-based materials for environmental protection.

[PMID: 37532214 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Sea squirts, a tunicate, are found in all oceans and can foul marine ports and aquaculture, mainly affecting shipping and biodiversity. In this study, cellulose was extracted from sea squirts, and its hydrophilic properties were improved by substituting the hydrogen ions of the cellulose -OH with dopamine. The modified cellulose was used to prepare a hydrogel for use as a dust-fixing agent (CDP) to reduce air pollution caused by dust. After response surface method optimization, the proportions of binder, water-retaining agent, wetting agent, and antifreeze in CDP were 0.97, 1.44, 0.23, and 6.32%, respectively. This composition improved the wetting ability and permeability of CDP on particle surfaces. CDP exhibited good water retention at -11-50 °C. CDP reduced the wind erosion rate of dust at a wind speed of 12 m/s to 1.18%. The molecular dynamics method was used to analyze the wetting process and mechanism of CDP, revealing that hydrogen bonds were the dominant force at the solid-liquid interface. The adsorption of CDP onto the surface of coal increased the number of hydrophilic points. Water molecules were adsorbed on these hydrophilic points through hydrogen bonding, improving the binding energy between the solid and liquid interfaces. The application of ascidian cellulose in dust control makes full use of the biological value of ascidians, promoting sustainable development of the global biological economy.
