A new sequence of steam explosion (SE) with periodic peristalsis (PP) exploited to fractionate corn pericarp (CP), and its high solid cellulosic hydrolysis to increase sugar yield. In this investigation, the optimum SE-condition was 0.8 MPa/5 min., recovered around 12.62 % total sugars than untreated CP, whereas glucan and xylan digestibility reach...
Artemisinin is mainly derived from Artemisia annua L. Since the leaves composition is complex, artemisinin purification faces great challenges. In this work, functional chitosan membranes were fabricated by a one-step hydrolysis method through grafting long-chain alkyl group on the surface of chitosan to increase its hydro-phobicity. The as-prepare...

Ammonia (NH3) is one of the main reasons for the formation of aerosols. NH3 pollution mainly comes from a large amount of emissions in industrial production. Ionic liquids (ILs), as a green solvent, can efficiently separate and recover NH3 from industrial NH3-containing tail gas. In this work, novel protic ionic liquids (PILs) with hydrogen bond do...
Defluorination roasting of lepidolite ore in a fluidized bed reactor has been proposed for improving the extraction efficiency of lithium. In this paper, a vacuum was introduced to the fluidized bed reactor, which significantly improved the defluorination efficiency of lepidolite particles. This improvement could be attributed to an increase in the...
P507 (2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester) - N235 (trioctyl tertiary amine), diluted with kerosene, was used for separation of vanadium (V) and molybdenum (VI) from roasting-water leaching solution generated by spent hydrodesulfurization catalyst. Due to the leach solutions contain impurities like aluminum (Al) and magnesium (Mg), ...
Ionic liquids (ILs) are attractive and prospective materials used in membranes due to the nonvolatility, structure tunability, and the ability to tune the interface compatibility. The cobalt IL Bmim(2)Co(NCS)(4) possesses the porphyrin-like N4-coordinated cobalt center which could selectively and reversibly interact with O-2. Herein the Bmim(2)Co(N...
Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising technique for desalinating brine and purifying wastewater but low water flux and severe membrane fouling always plague its practical application. Developing new membranes with both high flux and fouling resistance is highly desirable. Here, a hydrophilic/hydrophobic Janus membrane that can simultaneously ac...
NO2 is a toxic gas that can cause photochemical smog, acid rain and ozone layer depletion. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) decorated nanocomposites of semiconductor metal oxides (MOS) as sensing materials of NO2 sensors have received much attention. Here, BiVO4/Cu2O/rGO nanocomposite was successfully prepared by a facile solvothermal method and th...
