Chemical conversion of paper industry effluents into carboxymethylcellulose

The synthesis of carboxymethylcellulose was investigated using effluents containing short cellulose fibers. Carboxymethylcellulose was synthesized according to the slurry process using different amount of sodium hydroxide and different incubation times at 30 °C after the etherification reaction as variables. Characterization of the product was conducted by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, degree of substitution, average degree of polymerization, water imbibing capacity, color, rheological properties, apparent viscosity and trace elements content. Incubation time slightly increased the yield of the reaction and the degree of substitution during the first 12 h. The reaction yield and degree of substitution both decreased when the initially concentration of NaOH was increased from 7.0 g/mL to 10.5 g/mL. The carboxymethylcellulose obtained was darker and had lower hydration properties than commercial samples. Trace elements content suggests that the product could be only used in paint factories or building materials industries.     

Soil resource availability impacts microbial response to organic carbon and inorganic nitrogen inputs

Impacts of newly added organic carbon （C） and inorganic nitrogen （N） on the microbial utilization of soil organic matter are important in determining the future C balance of terrestrial ecosystems. We examined microbial responses to cellulose and ammonium nitrate additions in three soils with very different C and N availability. These soils included an organic soil（ 14.2% total organic C, with extremely high extractable N and low labile C）, a forest soi1（4.7% total organic C, with high labile C and extremely low extractable N）, and a grassland soil（1.6% total organic C, with low extractable N and labile C）. While cellulose addition alone significantly enhanced microbial respiration and biomass C and N in the organic and grassland soils, it accelerated only the microbial respiration in the highly-N limited forest soil. These results indicated that when N was not limited, C addition enhanced soil respiration by stimulating both microbial growth and their metabolic activity, New C inputs lead to elevated C release in all three soils, and the magnitude of the enhancement was higher in the organic and grassland soils than the forest soil. The addition of cellulose plus N to the forest and grassland soils initially increased the microbial biomass and respiration rates, but decreased the rates as time progressed. Compared to cellulose addition alone, cellulose plus N additions increased the total C-released in the grassland soil, but not in the forest soil. The enhancement of total C- released induced by C and N addition was less than 50% of the added-C in the forest soil after 96 d of incubation, in contrast to 87.5% and 89.0% in the organic and grassland soils. These results indicate that indigenous soil C and N availability substantially impacts the allocation of organic C for microbial biomass growth and/or respiration, potentially regulating the turnover rates of the new organic C inputs.

在功率为120 W、处理时间为30 min的条件下,分别对稻草进行超声波辅助酸碱预处理,与传统化学预处理(碱-预处理、酸-预处理)后稻草的主要化学组成相比较,结果表明超声波技术辅助酸碱预处理可以更为有效地去除半纤维素和木质素,从而提高了稻草基质中纤维素的相对含量,有利于缩短稻草水解时间。在一系列实验研究的基础上,建立了稻草酶水解动力学模型。结果表明,分别经碱、超声波-碱、酸、超声波-酸预处理的稻草在糖化过程中的模型参数(米氏常数KM,速率常数k和抑制常数KI)均不相同,KM分别为17.55、14.14、15.29和15.08 g/L;k分别为15.30、21.32、13.40和15.42 h-1;抑制常数KI变化不明显分别为2.31、2.08、1.81和1.85 g/L。模型及实验方法简便可靠,有较好的拟合性,对稻草酶水解过程工程放大及过程控制都具有一定的参考价值。

Rheology of Lyocell Solutions from Different Cellulose Sources

Rheological measurements were used to characterize the behavior of lyocell solutions, i.e., cellulose dissolved in N-methymorpholine-N-oxide. Cellulose sources included dissolving pulp, kraft pulp, sugar cane fibers, and kenaf fibers. The dominance of viscous behavior, G values, over elastic behavior, G values, is affected by cellulose concentration and molecular weight. At lower concentrations and degrees of polymerization (DP), dissolving pulp solutions show viscous, inelastic behavior at low frequencies. At higher concentration and DP, dissolving pulp solutions are more elastic at higher frequencies. Solutions prepared with kenaf and sugar cane fibers show similar properties to those using pure dissolving pulp, and comparisons suggest the molecular weight and/or the presence of other substances such as lignin in the cellulose from these alternative sources affect the rheology.

贵州草海沉积物纤维素氧同位素研究及其古环境意义

纤维素在湖泊沉积过程中不易发生分解,故其稳定同位素组成能真实地反映原始环境信息。本文在建立一套有效的四阶段(酸洗、碱洗、漂白及碱洗)湖泊沉积物纤维素提取基础上,成功测定了近500年草海沉积物纤维素氧同位素组成。草海纤维素氧同位素组成与董哥洞石笋恢复的降雨量的一致性变化表明纤维素氧同位素主要反映湖水氧同位素组成,进而指示了湖区降雨量变化。
