Triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate (TEAHSO4), which functioned selectively for the elimination of mineralogical content and cellulose enrichment of PMS, enhanced the cellulose content of the material from 45% to 74% following the pretreatment at 150 °C. Though DESs such as choline chloride-urea behaved poorly toward demineralization relative to PILs, they preserved cellulose effectively in the structure and gave satisfactory saccharification yields that reached over 90%. In addition to integrating the sustainable benefits of PILs and DESs into the valorization of PMS for the first time in literature, this work highlighted the competency of PMS as a cellulose-rich feedstock for biorefinery applications.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"42 1","pages":"274 - 285"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42719075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have shown that many diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, carcinogenesis and inflammatory diseases, are associated with ROS. Plant polyphenols have the ability to remove these ROS in the human body, indicating their potential to improve human health. Zelkova serrata is a traditional medicinal plant in Taiwan and all of its plant parts have various health applications and even antioxidant activities. This study aimed to understand the antioxidant activities of bark polyphenols from Z. serrata and their active components. Results showed that the ethanolic extract of bark had free-radical scavenging abilities and reducing power. Although the extract barely had any flavonoids or condensed tannins, it comprised polar polyphenols with antioxidant activities. Furthermore, antioxidant activities in the extract originated mainly from lyoniresinol via hydrogen atom and electron transfer. These findings suggest that the bark extract of Z. serrata is also a potential resource for health improvement.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"42 1","pages":"265 - 273"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46314933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chemical modification processes rely on the replacement or blockage of wood hydroxyl groups with generally hydrophobic molecules, thereby improving the dimensional stability, water repellency and biological resistance of the wood. This study investigates in situ polymerization of ε-caprolactone to form poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), a biodegradable polymer, which was grafted to the wood cell walls of both Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and spruce wood (Picea orientalis L.). Wood modification by in situ polymerization of ε-caprolactone has been studied so far in order to be an alternative modification approach to obtain improved wood properties, such as good dimensional stability and improved water resistance without reducing mechanical properties considerably. In the light of previous studies, the current work proposes a methodological approach to ε-caprolactone modification in two aspects: (i) the effect of catalyst (tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate) amount on wood properties (i.e., swelling (S), anti-swelling efficiency (ASE), water uptake (WU), mass loss (ML)) (ii) the effect of oven or solvent curing of ε-caprolactone on wood properties (i.e., S, ASE, WU, ML, compressive strength parallel to the grain, and chemical components). By these approaches, an optimum catalyst amount was determined, and an alternative method (oven-curing) which may be more economic by enabling the re-use of the waste chemical was evaluated in comparison to the method of ε-caprolactone modification in prior publications (solvent-curing).","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"42 1","pages":"286 - 296"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43580097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unexpectedly, the maximum thiosulphate concentration was found in the pulping acid filling step, being further decreased along the cooking. The chloride ions rise progressively during the cooking being extracted essentially from the wood, although a noticeable part of the phosphate anions belongs to pulping reagents and inlet water. The low molecular weight fraction of lignosulphonates (LS) appeared in the cooking liquor in the residual delignification step and, together with xylonic acid, contributed to an overestimation of the fluoride concentration determined by the IC due to the same retention time in the chromatographic column during the analysis.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"42 1","pages":"244 - 252"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49109144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper modified by (ε-PL/KH570-modified-n-TiO2)4 multilayers has superhydrophobic and self-cleaning properties after heat treatment. The water contact angle reaches up to 152.8° and the antibacterial rate is close to 100%. The high barrier properties to water vapor better prolong the shelf life of cherries. Therefore, the (ε-PL/KH570-modified-n-TiO2)4 multilayers modified paper can provide a new idea for food preservation.

With the aim of enhancing the properties of fast-growing poplar wood, a combination of PVA and nano-silica sol impregnation treatment was carried out to develop a novel functional wood material with good dimensional stability, compressive strength and thermal stability, while fully exploiting the unique structural properties of the wood itself. In this work, PVA-nano-silica sol composite wood was prepared by in-situ impregnation of poplar fast-growing wood via ultrasound-assisted and vacuum impregnation methods. Firstly, the effects of different treatments on the impregnation effect and strengthening effect of modified wood were explored. The results showed that the PVA-nano-silica sol dispersion system had no negative effect on the impregnation modification, and the compressive strength of modified wood was obviously improved compared with natural wood. Among them, the most effective modification was achieved under the condition of vacuum-assisted impregnation. The effect of compound impregnation modification on the structure of poplar fast-growing wood was analyzed by FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDS, in which PVA and nano-silica sol can form a certain cross-linking system and form chemical bonds such as Si-O-C and Si-O-Si, enabling them to enter the structure of wood and react with wood cell walls effectively. The compressive strength of modified poplar wood was increased by 72.29% compared with natural poplar wood. According to the thermogravimetric analysis, the thermal stability of the modified poplar wood was improved to some extent. In view of all the results, the method proposed in this study provides an opportunity for the high value utilization of low quality wood, and this modified wood can be considered as a candidate for new lightweight and high performance materials in the construction field.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"42 1","pages":"211 - 221"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48984267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a comparative analysis of the chemical composition of SSL was performed from the magnesium-based acid sulfite cooking of Eucalyptus globulus wood to produce the paper-grade and dissolving pulps. More severe pulping conditions required for dissolving pulp production led to a substantial increase in volatile compounds in SSL, such as acetic acid, methanol, and furfural. At the same time, the amounts of dissolved sugars and lignosulfonates (LS) were increased to a less extent. The main changes detected in LS were related to the increase of its molecular weight, degree of condensation, and sulfonation degree. The increased concentration of the sulfuric acid in SSL was one of the reasons for these changes.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"42 1","pages":"193 - 203"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45600824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
