Keratin, the naturally derived biomaterials have been developed and widely applied in many different fields. Among the resources containing keratin, human hair is one of the most abundant natural fibers rich in keratin and one of the most abundant waste materials produced by humans. It is critical for both value-added human hair utilization and env...
Torrefaction is an efficient pretreatment method to improve the quality of biomass feedstock and resulting bio-oil. Herein, the relationships of torrefaction severity of sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) with its physicochemical properties and resulting pyrolytic product distributions were systemically investigated. The SSB was first pre-treated by torre...

The conversion of biomass into valuable nitrogen-containing compounds (NCCs) to co-produce nitrogen-rich bio-oil and char provides a green and economic-friendly approach. The evolution of NCCs in liquid, char, and gas products during the microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MAP) of eucalyptus wood with different ratios of MoO3 and representative nitrogen ...

Remarkably, a hydrolase from Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6, termed PETase, exhibits great potential in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste management due to it can efficiently degrade PET under moderate conditions. However, its low yield and poor accessibility to bulky substrates hamper its further industrial application. Herein a multigene fusion...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are expensive, so it is necessary to reuse ILs; however, the reuse process is cumbersome as antisolvents are added and evaporated to regenerate ILs after each biomass pretreatment. Increasing the treatment capacity of biomass before regenerating ILs is desired; however, the high treatment capacity of biomass before IL regenerati...

To identify the roles of alkali/alkaline earth metals (AAEM) and reaction temperature during pyrolysis of hemicellulose, the effects of AAEM doping on the pyrolysis behaviors, kinetics, and product yields of xylan at different pyrolysis temperatures were assessed. The results demonstrated that the yields of anhydrosugars from pyrolysis of xylan wer...
