    QIAN Ru-dan;RUAN Ling;LI Jie;WANG Han-yu;LI Jian-fa

    The active ingredient was encapsulated in the alginate microgel using spray-drying technology. The microgel was crosslinked with calcium cations and chitosan to prepare the composite microspheres. Their application in controlled release was investigated using vitamin B2 as the model drug. SEM analysis indicated that the aggregate structure was formed after compositely crosslinking of alginate microgel. In comparison with alginate microspheres crosslinked solely by calcium cations, the composite microspheres showed slower release of vitamin B2, with t50 prolonged by about 6 times. The longer the crosslinking time and higher dose of crosslinker, the slower the release of vitamin B2. The release time of vitamin B2 was extended to above 24 h at the loading amount of 16.0%-35.6%. The release process was dominated by Fickian diffusion.

    Process of Neutral Cellulase-based Saccharification on the Neutral Steam Exploded Corn Stover
    ZHONG Jian;YUE Yang;SHI Jia-ji;SUN Yan;CHAO Ya-peng;QIAN Shi-jun
    2013, 47 (2):  9-14.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1673-5854.2013.02.003
    Abstract ( 924 )   PDF (932KB) ( 1199 )   Save
    A neutral cellulase was introduced to optimize the saccharification process of neutral steam exploded corn stover. It was found that the neutral cellulase was affected equally in the non-buffer and buffer system under the natural condition. Further investigation showed that xylase, β-glucosidase, and Tritonx-100 have positive effects on the saccharification in the system. In summary, an optimized enzymatic hydrolyzing condition for one gram neutral steam exploded corn stover (100 g/L) is obtained as follows: 10 FPU neutral cellulase complex, 75 IU β-glucosidase, 3 000 IU xylase and Triton-100 with 0.5 percent in volume. After 120 h incubation at 50 ℃ with 150 r/min,total biomass conversion is around 48.4%. The total biomass conversion and cellulose conversion rates are 56.0% and 64.9% when using two-step addition of the enzymes.

    ZHU Bei-bei;YAO Chun-cai;XU Li;ZHOU Yao-zhen
    2013, 47 (2):  15-18.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1673-5854.2013.02.004
    Abstract ( 1033 )   PDF (902KB) ( 1038 )   Save
    With chitosan and methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC) as raw materials, cerium ammonium nitrate as the initiator and Span-20 as the emulsifier, chitosan-DMC graft copolymer was synthesized through inverse emulsion polymerization. The effects of reaction conditions on graft degree were investigated through orthogonal experiments and the optimum conditions were determined as follows: reaction time 5 h, initiator concentration 16 mmol/L, mass ratio of chitosan to monomer 1:6, volume ratio of oil to water 1:1. Under the optimum conditions the average graft degree reached 110 %. The graft copolymer was used as flocculant for treating kaolin suspension. The results showed that the flocculation ability of the chitosan graft copolymer was better than chitosan and polyacrylamide (PAM). The best flocculation effect occurred at pH=6.0 and flocculant dosage 2.0 mg/L.

    Abandoned hawthorn kernel was utilized for producing woody activated carbon in this work. The process conditions, including carbonization, activation and refine, were optimized. Results showed that, the condition,i.e., heating to 300 ℃ in 2 h, temperature kept for 1 h, and then heating to 600 ℃ in 3 h, was beneficial for ensuring the yield rate and strength of the carbonized material during carbonization process. The suitable carbonization condition was heated at 900-950 ℃ for 6h, and HCl amount was controlled at 10 % of the carbon during refining process. The activated carbon produced through carbonization and activation processes under the optimal condition had adsorption capacity of 1 100 mg/g for iodine, 180mg/g for methyl blue (MB), and strength 94%. It is able to meet the demand of general customers. Iron content decreased dramatically from 0.25% to 0.02% and ash content declined from 6% to 2% after washing with acid and water.

    In the structure of lignocellulosic biomass,lignin is the natural resistant barrier in the biological degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose. The most critical step to break the barrier,which is the bottleneck of biological conversion and utilization,is pretreatment. The recent research progresses of steam explosion pretreatment technology and biological pretreatment technology of lignocellulose are summarized in this article,and the recent research progress of steam explosion-biological combination pretreatment is introduced. This paper also analyses main types of inhibitors and their mechanisms of products during steam explosion pretreatment. A new pretreatment with the detoxification function, steam explosion-biological combination pretreatment,as well as the development direction of the research of efficient pretreatment technology for lignocellulose, is proposed.

    The treatment technology of the pulping black liquor both domestic and abroad is reviewed in this paper. The paper focuses on the application of ultrafiltration and microfiltration in pulping black liquor treatment. The effect of inorganic membrane and organic membrane in the concentration and pretreatment of pulping black liquor were introduced in detail as well. Ultrafiltration and microfiltration technology have a great advantage on the investment and operation cost in pulping black liquor recycling and reusing, but they require integrating with other membrane process and system, as well as process optimization, to improve the overall recovery and utilization levels before industrialization. Finally, the application of membrane technology in pulping black liquor treatment was proposed.
