The present study focused on investigating the catalytic mechanism of metal salts (sodium hypophosphite, sodium bisulfate and ammonium ferric sulfate) for esterification of bagasse cellulose carried out by mechanical activation-assisted solid phase reaction in a stirring ball mill. FTIR analysis of the products confirmed that these metal salts could catalyze the esterification of cellulose. XRD, SEM,...
Crosslinked cellulose-chitosan beads were obtained via dissolution-regeneration of cellulose and chitosan by a LiOH/urea aqueous solution, followed by the crosslinking of chitosan via dialdehyde cellulose (DAC). This crosslinking reaction involved the Schiff base formation between the aldehyde groups of DAC and the amino groups of chitosan and subsequent reduction. DAC was prepared through periodate...
Direct production of butyl levulinate (BL) by butanolysis of cellulose was carried out using single or combined metal sulfates catalysts. The synergetic enhancement of the ferric sulfate and aluminum sulfate can improve the conversion of cellulose to BL. Moreover, the butanolysis of cellulose was optimized by using response surface methodology. Under the optimum conditions of 194 °C, catalyst concentration...
Cellulose acetate is widely used in films, filters, textiles, lacquer and cosmetic products. Herein we demonstrate the production of cellulose esters under homogeneous conditions using 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene acetate ([DBNH][OAc]) as solvent. The reagents have been chosen such that the system is recyclable, i.e. by-products are low boiling and easy to remove. It is demonstrated that cellulose...
Acidic carbonaceous solids were synthesized from mass pine alkali lignin via hydrothermal carbonization followed by sulfonation. Hydrothermal carbonization of lignin in the presence of acrylic acid (LAHC-SO3H) provided many more carboxylic groups than that in the absence of acrylic acid, allowing subsequent sulfonation to produce a highly active and stable catalyst for cellulose hydrolysis in the...
Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was tested as a rapid monitor of cellulose features by analyzing structurally distinguishable cellulose from different organisms ranging from Monera to Plantae as well as Animalia. The optimal spectral region was first identified using intra-crystalline deuteration, and then statistically analyzed based on second derivative spectra by principal component analysis....
