    Hydrogen is a kind of ideal clean energy sources. Considering from energy source point of view and environment point of view, it is very important to develop technology of hydrogen production from biomass. Technology of hydrogen production from biomass mainly includes thermochemical and biological process. In the former process, biomass was gasified or liquefied, then reformed and shift reacted by water vapor to produce hydrogen. The research progress in the technology of hydrogen production from biomass by thermochemical conversion(including gasification, gasification in supercritical water; pyrolysis) was summarized in this paper and the typical technique for hydrogen production from biomass was also commented and viewed.

    In this research refiner is used to extract camptothecin(CPT) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin(HCPT) from the fruits of Camptotheca acuminata. The refiner has been reconstructed, adding mid-level concentration feeding pump, the rotate speed of principal axis has been increased to 5000 r/min from 1850 r/min. The contents of camptothecin and 10-hydroxycamptothecin are determined by HPLC. It can be seen that the extraction ratio of camptothecin has been increased by 14.81%-35.29% and that of 10-hydroxycamptothecin has been increased by 24.00%-44.44%. The yield of CPT is 0.06% and the yield of HCPT is 0.04%. The results of orthogonal test show that the mass fraction of sodium hydroxide solution has a significant effect.

    The comparison of isolation methods of dehydroabietic acid was carried out, using disproportionated rosin as raw material by GC method. Dehydroabietic acid was isolated from disproportionated rosin by methods of amination, saponification and aminating reaction-crystallization enhanced with ultrasonic wave, respectively. The isolating dehydroabietic acid from diffe-rent kinds of disproportionated rosins has been investigated. The results showed that the method of aminating reaction-crystallization enhanced with ultrasonic wave was the best to isolate the dehydroabietic acid from the self-made disproportionated rosin at the temperature of 40℃. The purity of dehydroabietic acid prepared was 99.99%. The yield of dehydroabietic acid was 55.37%. The high purity dehydroabietic acid prepared has been analyzed and confirmed by using GC, UV, IR, melting point instrument and polarimeter as well. The results are in agreement with the values in literature.
