Abstract
The exploration of renewable alternatives to fossil fuels for chemical production is indispensable to achieve the ultimate goals of sustainable development. Chitin biomass is an abundant platform feedstock that naturally bears both nitrogen and carbon atoms to produce nitrogen-containing chemicals (including organonitrogen ones and inorganic ammonia). The expansion of biobased chemicals toward nitrogen-containing ones can elevate the economic competitiveness and benefit the biorefinery scheme. This review aims to provide an up-to-date summary on the overall advances of the chitin biorefinery for nitrogen-containing chemical production, with an emphasis on the design of the catalytic systems. Catalyst design, solvent selection, parametric effect, and reaction mechanisms have been scrutinized for different transformation strategies. Future prospectives on chitin biorefinery have also been outlined.

[PMID: 38872421 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202400396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Developing a process that performs the lignocellulosic biomass fractionation under milder conditions simultaneously with the depolymerization and/or the upgrading of all fractions is fundamental for the economic viability of future lignin-first biorefineries. The molten salt hydrates (MSH) with homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts are a potential alternative to biomass pretreatment that promotes cellulose's dissolution and its conversion to different platform molecules while keeping the lignin reactivity. This review investigates the fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass using MSH to produce chemicals and fuels. First, the MSH properties and applications are discussed. In particular, the use of MSH in cellulose dissolution and hydrolysis for producing high-value chemicals and fuels is presented. Then, the biomass treatment with MSH is discussed. Different strategies for preventing sugar degradation, such as biphasic media, adsorbents, and precipitation, are contrasted. The potential for valorizing isolated lignin from the pretreatment with MSH is debated. Finally, challenges and limitations in utilizing MSH for biomass valorization are discussed, and future developments are presented.

Abstract
Depolymerization of carbohydrate biomass using a long-chain alcohol (transglycosylation) to produce alkyl glycoside-based bio-surfactants has been gaining industrial interest. This study introduces microwave-assisted transglycosylation in transforming wheat bran, a substantial agricultural side stream, into these valuable compounds. Compared to traditional heating, microwave-assisted processing significantly enhances the product yield by 53 % while reducing the reaction time by 72 %, achieving a yield of 29 % within 5 h. This enhancement results from the microwave's capacity to activate intermolecular hydrogen and glycosidic bonds, thereby facilitating transglycosylation. Life-cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis demonstrate the benefits of microwave heating in reducing energy consumption by 42 %, CO2 emissions by 56 %, and equipment, operational and production costs by 44 %, 35 % and 30 %, respectively. The study suggests that microwave heating is a promising approach for efficiently producing bio-surfactants from agricultural wastes, with potential cost reductions and environmental benefits that could enhance industrial biomass conversion processes.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogels have been widely used as sensors owing to their tissue-like properties. However, the synthesis of conductive hydrogels with highly adjustable mechanical properties and multiple functions remains difficult to achieve yet highly needed. In this study, lignin hydrogel characterized by frost resistance, UV resistance, high conductivity, and highly adjustable mechanical properties without forming by-products was prepared through a rapid in-situ polymerization of acrylic acid/zinc chloride (AA/ZnCl2) aqueous solution containing lignin extract induced by the reversible quinone-catechol redox of the ZnCl2-lignin system at room temperature. Results revealed that the PAA/ZnCl2/lignin hydrogel exhibited mechanical properties with tensile stress (ranging from 0.08 to 3.28 MPa), adhesion to multiple surfaces (up to 62.05 J m-2), excellent frost resistance (-70-20 °C), UV resistance, and conductivity (0.967 S m-1), which further endow the hydrogel as potential strain and temperature sensor with wide monitor range (0-300 %), fatigue resistance, and quick response (70 ms for 150 % strain). This study proposed and developed a green, simple, economical, and efficient processing method for a hydrogel sensor in flexible wearable devices and man-machine interaction fields.

Abstract
The adverse environmental impacts of greenhouse gas emissions and persistent waste accumulation are driving the demand for sustainable approaches to clean-energy production and waste recycling. By coupling the thermodynamically favourable oxidation of waste-derived organic carbon streams with fuel-forming reduction reactions suitable for producing clean hydrogen or converting CO2 to fuels, solar reforming simultaneously valorizes waste and generates useful chemical products. With appropriate light harvesting, catalyst design, device configurations and waste pre-treatment strategies, a range of sustainable fuels and value-added chemicals can already be selectively produced from diverse waste feedstocks, including biomass and plastics, demonstrating the potential of solar-powered upcycling plants. This Review highlights solar reforming as an emerging technology that is currently transitioning from fundamental research towards practical application. We investigate the chemistry and compatibility of waste pre-treatment, introduce process classifications, explore the mechanisms of different solar reforming technologies, and suggest appropriate concepts, metrics and pathways for various deployment scenarios in a net-zero-carbon future.

Abstract
An effective approach for glucose and furfural production by converting cellulose and hemicelluloses from corn stalk in a biphasic system of molten salt hydrate (MSH) and organic solvent using H2SO4 as catalyst was reported. Results showed that the system with LiBr·3H2O and dichloromethane (DCM) had excellent performance in cellulose and hemicelluloses conversion. Under the optimal reaction conditions (corn stalk:LiBr·3H2O:DCM ratio = 0.35:10:20 g/mL/mL, 0.05 mol/L H2SO4, 120 °C, 90 min), 58.9% glucose and 72.5% furfural were yielded. Meanwhile, lignin was obviously depolymerized by the cleavage of β-O-4' linkages and fractionated with high purity and low molecular weight for potential coproducts. Fluorescence microscopy and confocal Raman microscope displayed that the LiBr·3H2O/DCM treatment caused decreasing intensities in carbohydrate and lignin, suggesting the degradation of the main components of biomass. This research provided a promising biorefinery technology for the comprehensive utilization of corn stalk.

Abstract
This study aims to establish an efficient pretreatment method that facilitates the conversion of sugars from macroalgae wastes, Eucheuma cottonii residues (ECRs) during hydrolysis and subsequently enhances l-lactic acid (L-LA) production. Hence, ultrasonic-assisted molten salt hydrates (UMSHs) pretreatment was proposed to enhance the accessibility of ECRs to hydrolyze into glucose through dilute acid hydrolysis (DAH). The obtained hydrolysates were employed as the substrate in producing L-LA by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF). The maximum glucose yield (97.75 %) was achieved using UMSHs pretreated ECRs with 40 wt% ZnCl2 at 80 °C for 2 h and followed with DAH. The optimum glucose to L-LA yield obtained for SHF was 90.08 % using 5 % (w/w) inoculum cell densities of B. coagulans ATCC 7050 with yeast extract (YE). A comparable performance (89.65 %) was obtained using a nutrient combination (lipid-extracted Chlorella vulgaris residues (CVRs), vitamin B3, and vitamin B5) as a partial alternative for YE.

Abstract
The development of the future French and European bioeconomies will involve developing new green chemical processes in which catalytic transformations are key. The VAALBIO team (valorization of alkanes and biomass) of the UCCS laboratory (Unité de Catalyse et Chimie du Solide) are working on various catalytic processes, either developing new catalysts and/or designing the whole catalytic processes. Our research is focused on both the fundamental and applied aspects of the processes. Through this review paper, we demonstrate the main topics developed by our team focusing mostly on oxygen- and hydrogen-related processes as well as on green hydrogen production and hybrid catalysis. The social impacts of the bioeconomy are also discussed applying the concept of the institutional compass.

Abstract
The resource utilization of biological solid waste is crucial for practical environmental remediation. By comprehensively utilizing LiBr treatment and dopamine chemistry, herein the cow dung waste was successfully converted into the composite biomass material for efficient heavy metal ions removal. A selective etching mechanism of cellulose was discovered in the LiBr treatment process, achieving the large-scale preparation of coralline-like porous biomass material with hundred times increased specific surface. Benefiting from the co-deposition of polyethyleneimine and Fe3O4, the fabricated material showed significantly higher adsorption capacity (183.82 and 231.48 mg·g-1 for Cu2+ and Cd2+) than that of raw cow dung (0.95 and 1.25 mg·g-1 for Cu2+ and Cd2+). Furthermore, this composite biomass adsorbent also exhibited rapid adsorption equilibrium, magnetic separation capability, monolayer chemisorption feature and feasible recycling use. Collectively, this work contributes to both the resource utilization of husbandry solid waste and the development of advanced biomass adsorbent.

Abstract
As there is a rising interest in upgrading cellulose to high-performance bio-products, the studies on innovative reaction media and processes have been leaping forward. Green solvents in terms of cellulose dissolution and brief processes for upgrading are critical to green chemistry. However, most solvent systems generally exhibit defects in harsh pH operating windows with limited temperature ranges, environmental pollution, long reaction times, complicated processes, etc. In this work, we have provided a novel molten salt hydrate (CaCl2·6H2O-LiCl) as a green solvent and investigated the role of hydrated molten salts in the dissolution process via the solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique. The cellulose could be dissolved in CaCl2·6H2O-LiCl molten salt hydrated at 120 °C with 3.0% solubility and regenerated in-situ by cooling down to ambient temperature. The regenerated cellulose exhibited a high solubility and excellent stability. From 7Li single pulse NMR experiments, it was observed that two types of Li+ existed in the cellulose dissolution, and the Li+ significantly impacted the dissolving process and the dissolution ability of cellulose. This work would provide an environmental-friendly strategy to prepare cellulose solutions for biocompatible cellulose materials.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are emerging as some of the most promising next-generation battery alternatives to state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high gravimetric energy density, being inexpensive, and having an abundance of elemental sulfur (S8). However, one main, well-known drawback of LSBs is the so-called polysulfide shuttling, where the polysulfide dissolves into organic electrolytes from sulfur host materials. Numerous studies have shown the ability of porous carbon as a sulfur host material. Porous carbon can significantly impede polysulfide shuttling and mitigate the insulating passivation layers, such as Li2S, owing to its intrinsic high electrical conductivity. This work suggests a scalable and straightforward one-step synthesis method to prepare a unique interconnected microporous and mesoporous carbon framework via salt templating with a eutectic mixture of LiI and KI at 800 °C in an inert atmosphere. The synthesis step used environmentally friendly water as a washing solvent to remove salt from the carbon-salt mixture. When employed as a sulfur host material, the electrode exhibited an excellent capacity of 780 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1 and a sulfur loading mass of 2 mg cm-2 with a minor capacity loss of 0.36% per cycle for 100 cycles. This synthesis method of a unique porous carbon structure could provide a new avenue for the development of an electrode with a high retention capacity and high accommodated sulfur for electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Metal salt hydrate (MSH) solutions allow for the complete solubilisation of biomass and we demonstrate its use as a reaction medium for the photocatalytic reforming of lignocellulose. Different types of photocatalysts such as TiO2 and carbon nitride can be employed in MSH to produce H2 and organic products under more benign conditions than the commonly required extreme pH aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Sustainable polymers from lignocellulosic biomass have the potential to reduce the environmental impact of commercial plastics while also offering significant performance and cost benefits relative to petrochemical-derived macromolecules. However, most currently available biobased polymers are hampered by insufficient thermomechanical properties, low economic feasibility (e.g., high relative cost), and reduced scalability in comparison to petroleum-based incumbents. Future biobased materials must overcome these limitations to be competitive in the marketplace. Additionally, sustainability challenges at the beginning and end of the polymer lifecycle need to be addressed using green chemistry practices and improved end-of-life waste management strategies. This viewpoint provides an overview of recent developments that can mitigate many concerns with present materials and discusses key aspects of next-generation, biobased polymers derived from lignocellulosic biomass.
