    The polymerization results of non-drying oil including soybean oil and lard with ethyl acrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as accelerators, as well as benzoyl peroxide and dimethyl aniline as initiators, were prelimilarily reported in this paper. When the mass ratio of soybean oil to lard was 6 to 4, the mass percentages for biomass mixed oil, ethyl acrylate, ethy-lene glycol dimethacrylate were 40%, 55%, 5%, respectively, and the initiator accounted for 1% in total material, a polymer with hard rubber status was obtained at room temperature in 5min. The FT-IR spectra provided the evidence that non-drying oil took part in polymerization. The TG data showed that the polymer with 40% oil had excellent thermal stability below 240℃.

    Study on Selective Degradation of Corn Straw Cells by 8 Fungi
    ZENG Wei;CHEN Hong-zhang
    2008, 42 (5):  9-14. 
    Abstract ( 400 )   PDF (1263KB) ( 924 )   Save
    It is difficult to be utilized at high-value for corn straw,because of its heterogeneity in constitution. This paper aims to find a fungus which can selectively degrade parenchyma cell of corn straw, and the residual fiber can be used in pulping and papermaking. In this paper, seven pathogenic fungi separated from sugarcane with pineapple disease, and Trichoderma viride were used to degrade fiber and parenchyma cell carded and sifted from steam-exploded corn straw respectively. It was shown that the degradabilities of these 8 fungi to parenchyma cell were more than those to fiber. The reason of above difference was concerned with the fungi enzyme activity and structure of material by determination of enzyme activity and study of scanning electron micrograph. Among these 8 fungi, fungus C-2 had the best selective degradation to parenchyma cell, and the difference of weight loss rate of parenchyma cell with fiber was 17.88%.

    2008, 42 (5):  30-32. 
    Abstract ( 446 )   PDF (808KB) ( 1131 )   Save
    Activated carbons were prepared from the coniferous wood in the South China (China fir and mason pine) and the broad-leaved wood in the North China (paulownia and polar), respectively, using zinc chloride as activating agent. The Baume degree of zinc chloride is 45, 48, 53 for impregnation. The end activation temperature is 650℃.The activated time is 2 h. The adsorption capacity of the resultant activated carbons was analyzed by measuring methylene blue decolorization, caramel adsorption, iodine adsorption value, xylose decolorization, lactic acid decolorization, cystine decolorization and DOP decolorization. Yield and ash content were also analyzed . The activated carbons prepared from the South China woods have the rich macropores, the strong absorbtion ability to large coloring matter molecules,high yield and low ash content.The activated carbons prepared from the North China woods have the rich mircopores, the strong absorbtion ability to small coloring matter molecules,low yield and high ash content. Since the activated carbons made from coniferous wood in South China and the broad-leaved wood in North China have great differences in decoloring ability, their preparing process should be different.

    2008, 42 (5):  46-50. 
    Abstract ( 692 )   PDF (865KB) ( 1289 )   Save
    Spray drying technology was found to be widely used in many industries. This paper summarized the developments of spray drying of biomass materails in terms of processing, mechanism, quality of product and economically utilization of energy etc. The review showed that there were some problems which needed to be improved in term of process and equipment. For examples, the product quality was degraded due to high inlet temperature, wall deposits existed in drying chamber or process pipes, energy efficency was low and active contents in the biomass were damaged, etc. Therefore the further investigation in spray drying technology was necessary.
