Abstract
Biomass-derived sustainable film is a promising alternative to synthetic plastic, but hampered by strength, toughness and flexibility trade-off predicament. Here, a feasible and scalable strategy was proposed to fabricate strong and flexible lignocellulosic film through molecular reconstruction of cellulose and lignin. In this strategy, polyphenol lignin was absorbed and wrapped on the surface of cellulose fiber, forming strong interfacial adhesion and cohesion via intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Further, covalent ether bond was generated between the hydroxyl groups of lignocellulose to form chemical cross-linking network induced by epichlorohydrin (ECH). The synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding and stable chemical cross-linking enabled the resultant lignocellulosic film (ELCF) with outstanding mechanical strength of 132.48 MPa, the elongation at break of 9.77 %, and toughness of 9.77 MJ·m-3. Notably, the integration of polyphenol lignin synergistically improved the thermal stability, water resistance, UV-blocking performances of ELCF. Importantly, after immersion for 30 d, ELCF still possessed high wet strength of 70.38 MPa, and elongation at break of 7.70 %, suggesting excellent and durable mechanical performances. Moreover, ELCF could be biodegraded in the natural soil. Therefore, this study provides a new and versatile approach to reconstruct highly-performance lignocellulosic films coupling strength, toughness with flexibility for promising plastic replacement.

Abstract
Traditional wood adhesives have the problems of excessive dependence on fossil resources and environmental pollution. Cellulose, a renewable biomass resource with a low price and huge output, provides a basis for preparing biomass wood adhesives. In this study, a new type of polyamide resin was prepared by modifying microcrystalline cellulose and reacting with natural citric acid. Specifically, toluenesulfonyl cellulose (TS) was synthesized, and functional amino cellulose (AC) was prepared by a nucleophilic substitution reaction with hyperbranched polyamide (HP). Then cellulose-based hyperbranched polyamide resin (CHP) was prepared by polycondensation with citric acid. The structure of CHP resin was investigated by FTIR, XPS, 13C NMR and GPC, and plywood was prepared to study its mechanical properties. Due to the formation of hyperbranched cross-linked network structure inside the resin, the prepared plywood has excellent properties. The dry shear strength reaches 2.24 MPa, and the strength reaches 1.25 and 1.31 MPa after soaking in water at 63 °C and 93 °C for 3 h. The resin in this study has a simple preparation process and excellent performance, which provides a solid foundation for developing high-performance cellulose-based wood adhesives.

Abstract
The crucial need for quality refined sugar has led to the development of advanced adsorbents, with a focus on the decolorization of remelt syrup. In this study, (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride and polyethyleneimine co-modified pomelo peel cellulose-derived aerogel (CP-PPA) was fabricated, and synthetic melanoidins were used as model colorants of remelt syrup to evaluate the validity and practicality of CP-PPA for eliminating colored impurities. Integrating abundant amine-functionalized groups (quaternary ammonium and protonated amine) within the pomelo peel-derived aerogel directionally captured electronegative melanoidins via electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, the active sites, types, and relative strength of the weak interactions between CP-PPA and melanoidins were determined using density functional theory simulations. CP-PPA exhibited an excellent equilibration adsorbing capacity for capturing melanoidins of 749.51 mg/g, and a removal efficiency of 93.69 %. Additionally, the adsorption mechanism was thoroughly examined in an effort to improve the economy of the sugar refinement industry.

Construction of a cellulose-based high-performance adhesive with a crosslinking structure bridged by Schiff base and ureido groups. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 223:971-979.

Abstract
Biomass-based adhesives are considered to be the preferred alternative to formaldehyde-type wood adhesives due to their wide range of sources, low cost, and sustainability. Herein, an environmentally friendly Schiff base cross-linked compact three-dimensional network structure bio-adhesive (DAC-PEI-U) derived from polyethyleneimine (PEI), urea, and cellulose was successfully prepared, verifying by detailed FTIR, NMR, and XPS analysis. Schiff base bridging between aldehyde groups in dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) and amino groups in polyurea (PEIU) not only constructed crosslinking networks but also endowed adhesives with good adhesion property. The dry bond strength of DAC-PEI-U adhesive reached 2.71 MPa, and the wet shear strength was 1.51 MPa (hot water) and 1.34 MPa (boiling water), respectively. It not only improves the water resistance and bonding process, but also displays simple synthesis and low cost. The improved performance of DAC-PEI-U adhesive is attributed to the generation of hyperbranched cross-linking structure in the adhesive system, which results in increased cross-linking density and promotes the formation of dense cross-sections in the curing adhesive. This work paves a solid way for developing cellulose-based wood adhesives with wet bonding properties, thus holding great potential as an alternative to formaldehyde-type adhesives in wood-based panel and indoor panel bonding industries.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:1048755. [PMID: 36507274 PMCID: PMC9731118 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1048755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The generation of kaolin-containing wastewater is an inevitable consequence in a number of industries including mining, wastewater treatment, and bitumen processing. In some cases, the production of kaolin tailings waste during the production of bitumen or phosphate is as high as 3 times greater than the actual produced product. The existing inventory of nearly five billion barrels of oil sands tailings alone represents a massive storage and reclamation challenge, as well as a significant economic and environmental liability. Current reclamation options like inorganic coagulants and organic synthetic polymers may settle kaolin effectively, but may themselves pose an additional environmental hazard. Bioflocculants are an emerging alternative, given the inherent safety and biodegradability of their bio-based compositions. This review summarizes the different research attempts towards a better bioflocculant of kaolin, with a focus on the bioflocculant source, composition, and effective flocculating conditions. Bacillus bacteria were the most prevalent single species for bioflocculant production, with wastewater also hosting a large number of bioflocculant-producing microorganisms while serving as an inexpensive nutrient. Effective kaolin flocculation could be obtained over a broad range of pH values (1-12) and temperatures (5-95°C). Uronic acid and glutamic acid were predominant sugars and amino acids, respectively, in a number of effective bioflocculants, potentially due to their structural and charge similarities to effective synthetic polymers like polyacrylamide. Overall, these results demonstrate that bioflocculants can be produced from a wide range of microorganisms, can be composed of polysaccharides, protein or glycoproteins and can serve as effective treatment options for kaolin. In some cases, the next obstacle to their wide-spread application is scaling to industrially relevant volumes and their deployment strategies.

Abstract
A newly green natural polymer bagasse cellulose based flocculant (PBCF) was synthesized utilizing a grafting copolymerization method for effectively enhancing humic acid (HA) removal from natural water. This work aims to investigate flocculation behavior of PBCF in synthetic water containing HA, and the effects of flocculant dose and initial solution pH on flocculation performance. Results showed that PBCF functioned well at a flocculant dose of 60 mg/L and pH ranging from 6.0 to 9.0. The organic removal efficiency in synthetic water in terms of HA (UV254) and chemical oxygen demand (COD Mn) were up to 90.6% and 91.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the charge neutralization and adsorption bridging played important roles in HA removal. When applied for lake water, PBCF removed 91.6% turbidity and 50.0% dissolved organic matter, respectively. In short, PBCF demonstrates great potential in water treatment in a safe and environmentally friendly or 'green' way.

Abstract
Nutritional food supplements and pharmaceutical products produced with vitamin K2 as raw materials a very promising market in the global scope. The main production method of vitamin K2 is microbial fermentation, but approximately 50% of vitamin K2 synthesized by the main production strain Bacillus subtilis natto exists in extracellular form, which is not easy to separate and extract. In order to solve this problem, in this study, we synthesized a novel cellulose flocculant, MCC-g-LMA, by grafting reaction using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and lauryl methacrylate (LMA) as monomers, and ammonium persulfate as an initiator to flocculate VK2 from the fermentation supernatant. The flocculant was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the grafting reaction was successful. When the flocculant dosage was 48.0 mg/L and pH was 5.0, the flocculation rate of the MCC-g-LMA on the fermentation supernatant reached 85.3%, and the enrichment rate of VK2 reached 90.0%. Furthermore, we explored the flocculation mechanism of VK2 by the MCC-g-LMA and speculated that the flocculation mechanism mainly included adsorption bridging, hydrophobic association and net trapping and sweep effect. In this study, the extraction method for trace high-value biological products in the fermentation supernatant was improved, which provided a method and theoretical basis for the efficient separation and purification of VK2 and other terpenoids.

Abstract
A kind of starch-based flocculant (starch-graft-poly[(2-methacryloyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride], denoted St-g-PDMC-LPUV) has been synthesized by low-pressure ultraviolet initiation and was employed to remove humic acid (HA) for water purification. The physicochemical characteristics of starch and St-g-PDMC-LPUV were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, XRD, TGA, SEM and BET to confirmed the successful grafting DMC onto starch. Effects of flocculant dosage, pH, the adding amount of Fe3O4, initial HA concentration and stirring speed were investigated systematically. The prepared St-g-PDMC-LPUV flocculant with non-toxic, biodegradability and environmental friendliness exhibited effective performance for removing HA from water in a wide pH range (5-10). The flocculation mechanism was attributed to the effective collision between function groups of the St-g-PDMC-LPUV flocculant and HA by charge neutralization, adsorption, bridging and patching.

Abstract
In this study, three magnetic flocculants with different chelating groups, namely, carboxymethyl chitosan-modified Fe3O4 flocculant (MC), acrylamide-grafted magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan flocculant (MCM), and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid copolyacrylamide-grafted magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan flocculant (MCAA) were prepared, synthesized, and characterized by photopolymerization technology. They were applied to the flocculation removal of Cr(III), Co(II), and Pb(II). The effect of flocculation condition on the removal performance of Cr(III), Co(II), and Pb(II) was studied. Characterization results show that the three magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan-based flocculants have been successfully prepared with good magnetic induction properties. Flocculation results show that the removal rates of MC, MCM, and MCAA on Cr(III) are 51.79%, 82.33%, and 91.42%, respectively, under the conditions of 80 mg/L flocculant, pH value of 6, reaction time of 1.5 hr, G value of 200 s-1, and precipitation magnetic field strength of 120 mT. The removal rates of Co(II) by MC, MCM, and MCAA are 54.33%, 84.99%, and 90.49%, respectively. The removal rates of Pb(II) by MC, MCM, and MCAA are 61.54%, 91.32%, and 95.74%, respectively. MCAA shows good flocculation performance in composite heavy metal-simulated wastewater. The magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan-based flocculant shows excellent flocculation performance in removing soluble heavy metals. This research provides guidance and ideas for the development of efficient and low-cost flocculation technology to remove heavy metals in wastewater.

Abstract
Flocculation is a widely used technology in industry including for wastewater treatment and microalgae harvesting. To increase the sustainability of wastewater treatment, and to avoid contamination of the harvested microalgal biomass, there is a need for bio-based flocculants to replace synthetic polymer flocculants or metal salt coagulants. We developed the first cellulose nanocrystalline flocculant with a grafted cationic point charge, i.e. glycine betaine (i.e. N,N,N-trimethylglycine) grafted cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) effective for the flocculation of kaolin (a model system for wastewater treatment), the freshwater microalgae Chlorella vulgaris, and the marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata. We successfully grafted glycine betaine onto CNCs using a one-pot reaction using a tosyl chloride activated esterification reaction with a degree of substitution ranging from 0.078 ± 0.003 to 0.152 ± 0.002. The degree of substitution is controlled by the reaction conditions. Flocculation of kaolin (0.5 g L-1) required a dose of 2 mg L-1, a comparable dose to commercial polyacrylamide-based flocculants. Flocculation was also successful for freshwater as well as marine microalgae (biomass concentration about 300 mg L-1 dry matter), although the flocculation efficiency of the latter remained below 80%. The dose to induce flocculation (DS = 0.152 ± 0.002) was 20 mg L-1 for the freshwater Chlorella vulgaris and 46 mg L-1 for the marine Nannochloropsis oculata, comparable to other bio-based flocculants such as chitosan or TanFloc.

Abstract
In this study, papermaking sludge-based flocculant (PSBF) and commercial lignin-based flocculant (LBF) have been synthesized by the same graft copolymerization procedures. The structures of alkaline lignin (AL), commercial lignin and the two flocculants were characterized by the modern analytical methods, also, the molecular weights and charge properties were analyzed. The effects of coagulant/flocculant dosages, pH conditions and coexistent dye auxiliaries on flocculation efficiencies were studied in the treatment of reactive turquoise blue (RTB) and disperse red (DR) dye wastewater. The flocculation experiments indicated that PSBF and LBF performed better in the removals of RTB and DR than commercial PAC and PAM. PSBF and LBF were insensitive to pH variation due to their strong charge neutralizing abilities and bridging effects even with the pH changing. In the existence of dye auxiliaries, PSBF and LBF could also exhibit superior decolorization efficiencies by slightly enlarging their dosages. Furthermore, PSBF and LBF had similar flocculation behaviors under all measured experimental conditions, suggesting that PSBF also had excellent flocculation performances even if it was prepared from papermaking sludge.

Abstract
Natural dispersants and flocculants, often referred to as dispersion stabilizers and liquid-solid separators, respectively, have secured a promising role in the bioprocessing community. They have various applications, including in biomedicine and in environmental remediation. A large fraction of existing dispersants and flocculants are synthesized from non-safe chemical compounds such as polyacrylamide and surfactants. Despite numerous advantages of synthetic dispersants and flocculants, issues such as renewability, sustainability, biocompatibility, and cost efficiency have shifted attention towards natural homologues, in particular, cellulose-based ones. Within the past decade, cellulose derivatives, obtained via chemical and mechanical treatments of cellulose fibrils, have successfully been used for these purposes. In this review article, by dividing the functional cellulosic compounds into "polymeric" and "nanoscale" categories, we provide insight into the engineering pathways, the structural frameworks, and surface chemistry of these "green" types of dispersants and flocculants. A summary of their efficiency and the controlling parameters is also accompanied by recent advances in their applications in each section. We are confident that the emergence of cellulose-based dispersing and flocculating agents will extend the boundaries of sustainable green technology.

Abstract
The present study reports the synthesis, characterization and corrosion inhibition effects of chitosan (CH) and its 5-chloromethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline derivative (CH-HQ) for mild steel in acidic medium. The synthesized CH-HQ was characterized using 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic methods. Corrosion inhibition efficiencies of CH and CH-HQ were measured using electrochemical and chemical techniques. The surface protection ability of the inhibitor molecules was also ascertained by surface analysis, while computational study was used to further justify the adsorption tendencies of the molecules on mild steel surface. CH-HQwasobserved to exhibit better protection efficiency than CH, as the highest inhibition efficiencies were recorded to be 78% and 93% for CH and CH-HQ, respectively. Potentiodynamic polarization studies revealed that CH and CH-HQ are mixed-type corrosion inhibitors over the studied temperature range (298 K ± 1 to 328 K ± 1). SEM-EDS studies were performed to demonstrate the adsorption of CH and CH-HQ on the mild steel surface. Adsorption behavior of the CH and CH-HQ was also supported by UV-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometric analyses. Monte Carlo simulations (MC) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to corroborate the experimental results.

Abstract
A flocculant composed of paper mulberry dicarboxylic cellulose (PM-DCC) made from using paper mulberry (Broussonetia kazinoki Siebold and Zucc.) has been developed to reduce the amount of inorganic coagulants needed to remove surfactants in wastewater. The characteristics of PM and soda pulp were determined according to the degree of polymerization, α-cellulose, lignin, free sugar, and extract contents. FTIR, XRD, the aldehyde content, the carboxyl content and coagulant-flocculation experiments were conducted to confirm the properties of PM-DCC and paper mulberry dialdehyde cellulose (PM-DAC). A dramatic removal efficiency (95.62 %) was revealed when 0.3 % PM-DCC was added into a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) solution with 1% FeCl3·6H2O at pH 2. This means that PM-DCC contributes to both a lower amount of inorganic coagulant needed and a reduction of water pollution by an ecofriendly method.

Abstract
Conventional flocculants bear environmental and health concerns which could be avoided by applying natural materials, particularly polysaccharide and glycoprotein-containing ones. In the present study, yeast cell wall (YCW), a natural polymer matrix, was used as natural flocculant. To prepare YCW, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cultivated in bench scale fermenter. After characterization, YCW was employed as anionic flocculant in jar tests to remove turbidity from kaolin suspensions at different conditions where either alum or poly aluminum chloride (PAC) was coagulant. Generally, the lower coagulant consumption, higher turbidity removal or faster sedimentation was observed by using YCW as flocculant. The developed flocculant was more effective in the presence of PAC compared to alum. At best, by applying 300 mg/L YCW, the highest turbidity removals of 98 and 97% were achieved using 10 ppm PAC at pH 6.5 and 50 ppm alum at pH 7.5, respectively. The presence of the flocculant in the structure of the flocs was proved by FTIR analysis. The final pH of the treated suspensions was suitable for discharge purpose without the need for neutralization. The excess positive charge neutralization and bridging were the governing mechanism in coagulation-flocculation process. YCW with proper performance, GRAS designation and readily availability can be considered as natural alternative to chemical anionic flocculants where the process needs safe compounds.

Abstract
A composite flocculant P(AM-DMDAAC) was synthesized by the copolymerization of acrylamide (AM) and dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (DMDAAC). By using microwave (MV) assistance with ammonium persulfate as initiator, the synthesis had a short reaction time and yielded a product with good solubility. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and differential thermal analysis-thermogravimetric analysis were employed to determine the structure and morphology of P(AM-DMDAAC). The parameters affecting the intrinsic viscosity of P(AM-DMDAAC), such as MV time, mass ratio of DMDAAC to AM, bath time, reaction temperature, pH value, and the dosages of ammonium persulfate initiator, EDTA, sodium benzoate, and urea were examined. Results showed that the optimum synthesis conditions were MV time of 1.5 min, m(DMDAAC):m(AM) of 4:16, 0.5 wt‱ initiator, 0.4 wt‱ EDTA, 0.3 wt‱ sodium benzoate, 2 wt‱ urea, 4 h bath time, reaction temperature of 40 °C, and pH of 2. The optimal dimethyl phthalate (DMP) removal rate can reach 96.9% by using P(AM-DMDAAC), and the P(AM-DMDAAC) had better flocculation than PAM, PAC, and PFS.

Abstract
In this study, a novel bioflocculant QZ-7 was produced from Bacillus salmalaya 139SI for industrial wastewater treatment. Biochemical analysis, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis were performed. A synthetic wastewater sample was used to validate the performance of the prepared OZ-7 for the adsorption efficiency of As, Zn2+ Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ under optimal experimental conditions such as initial metal concentrations, pH, contact time (h) and QZ-7 adsorbent dosage (mg mL−1). The maximum removal efficiency for Zn2+ (81.3%), As (78.6%), Pb2+ (77.9%), Cu2+ (76.1%), and Cd2+ (68.7%) was achieved using an optimal bioflocculant dosage of 60 mg L−1 at 2 h shaking time, 100 rpm and pH 7. Furthermore, the obtained optimum experimental conditions were validated using real industrial wastewater and the removal efficiencies of 89.8%, 77.4% and 58.4% were obtained for As, Zn2+ and Cu2+, respectively. The results revealed that the prepared bioflocculant QZ-7 has the capability to be used for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater. In this study, a novel bioflocculant was produced using Bacillus salmalaya 139SI for industrial waste water treatment.![]()

Abstract
Due to the complexity of contaminants, the effectiveness of traditional flocculants toward water purification is insufficient. To break the limitation, a novel polymer flocculant [chitosan grafted poly (acrylamide-itaconic acid), CS-g-P(AM-IA)] was synthesized via ultraviolet-initiated graft copolymerization reaction. Characterization results revealed that the graft copolymers were successfully synthesized and with rougher surface structure. The solubility of CS-g-P(AM-IA) and chitosan grafted polyacrylamide (CS-g-PAM) were greatly improved and they can dissolve in the wide pH range of 2.0-12.0. CaCl2 was used as a source of cation bridge to enhance the flocculation of kaolin particles, and its optimum dosage was 150 mg·L-1. At dosage of 30 mg·L-1 and pH of 5.0, the turbidity removal efficiency of CS-g-P(AM-IA) reached the maximum of 93.8%, whereas those of CS-g-PAM and CS were 96.7% and 76.9%, respectively. The patchwise adsorption of ionic groups embedded in the molecular chain on Ca2+-clay complexes took effect to generate flocs with larger particle size. Besides, the decolorization ability of cationic dyes by CS-g-P(AM-IA) was greatly enhanced due to the role of abundant carboxyl groups. In the crystal violet (CV) adsorption experiment, the maximum CV dye removal efficiency for CS-g-P(AM-IA) reached the maximum of 81.6% at dosage of 0.7 mg·mL-1 and pH of 9.0, while those for CS-g-PAM and CS were 51.7% and 36.5%, respectively.

Abstract
Among many other sustainable functional nanomaterials, nanocellulose is drawing increasing interest for use in environmental remediation technologies due to its numerous unique properties and functionalities. Nanocellulose is usually derived from the disintegration of naturally occurring polymers or produced by the action of bacteria. In this review, some invigorating perspectives on the challenges, future direction, and updates on the most relevant uses of nanocellulose in environmental remediation are discussed. The reported applications and properties of nanocellulose as an adsorbent, photocatalyst, flocculant, and membrane are reviewed in particular. However, additional effort will be required to implement and commercialize nanocellulose as a viable nanomaterial for remediation technologies. In this regard, the main challenges and limitations in working with nanocellulose-based materials are identified in an effort to improve the development and efficient use of nanocellulose in environmental remediation.

Abstract
Charged nanocellulose (NC) with a high aspect ratio (larger than 100) extracted from animal or bacterial cellulose and chemical cross-linked NC aerogels have great promising applicability in material science, but facile fabrication of such NC aerogels from plant cellulose by physical cross-linking still remains a major challenge. In this work, carboxylated cellulose nanofiber (CNF) with the highest aspect ratio of 144 was extracted from wasted ginger fibers by a simple one-step acid hydrolysis. Our approach could easily make the carboxylated CNF assemble into robust bulk aerogels with tunable densities and desirable shapes on a large scale (3D macropores to mesopores) by hydrogen bonds. Excitingly, these CNF aerogels had better compression mechanical properties (99.5 kPa at 80% strain) and high shape recovery. Moreover, the CNF aerogels had strong coagulation-flocculation ability (87.1%), removal efficiency of MB dye uptake (127.73 mg/g), and moderate Cu2+ absorption capacity (45.053 mg/g), which were due to assistance mechanisms of charge neutralization, network capture effect, and chain bridging of high aspect ratio carboxylated CNF. This provided a novel physical cross-linking method to design robust aerogels with modulated networked structures to be a general substrate material for industrial applications such as superabsorbent, flocculation, oil-water separation, and potential electrical energy storage materials.

Abstract
Natural polysaccharides, derived from biomass feedstocks, marine resources, and microorganisms, have been attracting considerable attention as benign and environmentally friendly substitutes for synthetic polymeric products. Besides many other applications, these biopolymers are rapidly emerging as viable alternatives to harmful synthetic flocculating agents for the removal of contaminants from water and wastewater. In recent years, a great deal of effort has been devoted to improve the production and performance of polysaccharide bio-based flocculants. In this review, current trends in preparation and chemical modification of polysaccharide bio-based flocculants and their flocculation performance are discussed. Aspects including mechanisms of flocculation, biosynthesis, classification, purification and characterization, chemical modification, the effect of physicochemical factors on flocculating activity, and recent applications of polysaccharide bio-based flocculants are summarized and presented.

Abstract
In this study, papermaking sludge was used as the raw biomass material to produce the lignin-based flocculant (LBF) by grafting quaternary ammonium groups and acrylamide. LBF was used as a coagulant aid with polyaluminum chloride (PAC) to treat reactive and disperse dyes wastewater. Effects of dosing method, pH, hardness and stirring speed on the coagulation behavior and floc properties were studied. Results showed that the superior coagulation efficiency and recovery factor were achieved by PAC+LBF compared with PAC and LBF+PAC. The primary mechanisms of LBF in the treatment of disperse and reactive dye solutions were charge neutralization and bridging effect, respectively. In the dual-coagulation, the impact of pH on the coagulation efficiency was weak during pH range of 5-9. Moderate hardness could enhance the floc properties due to the decrease of electrostatic repulsion and the chelation of Ca(II) and LBF. Besides, flocs coagulated by PAC+LBF had a stronger anti-crush ability.

Abstract
Natural polymer flocculants for wastewater treatment have received close attention in recent years. Here we used two flocculants, polyacrylamide and poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) grafted cellulose nanocrystals synthesized by a "macro-RAFT assisted" strategy, for the flocculation of kaolin suspension. The flocculation performance of these two flocculants, including flocculants dosage, settling time and floc size, was carefully studied and compared. Results suggested that poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) grafted cellulose nanocrstyals showed better flocculation performance than polyacrylamide grafted ones. Meanwhile, their flocculation behavior was also compared with other cellulose-based flocculants in literature and we suggested polymer modified cellulose nanocrstals as flocculants might have higher flocculation performance, but this needs further verification.
