    The lignin-based polyurethane (PU) films were prepared from wheat straw alkali lignin by solution casting with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 300 or 1000 and polymeric phenyl methane-diisocyanate (PAPI) in the solvent of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The mechanical performance of PU films was improved by adjusting the ratios of PEG 300 to PEG 1000. The mechanical performance including Young's modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break and tear resistance were tested for PU films. The results showed that by the way of altering the molar ratio of PEGs of different molecular weight in the system of reaction, the tear resistance behavior of PU films was outstandingly enhanced. Under the following conditions: NCO:OH=2.5, lignin coutent 20% and PEG 1000:PEG 300=2.0, the Young's modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break and tear resis-tance of PU film were 1.49 GPa, 36.5 MPa, 12.7% and 8460 mN, respectively, Meanwhile, its moulding film performance was better under the above conditions.

    Levulinic acid was prepared by the method of high-pressure acid hydrolysis of rice straw. The purity of levulinic acid was determined by gas chromatography. The influences of the reaction temperature, reaction time, solid-liquid ratio and acid concentration on the yield of levulinic acid were investigated. The single factor experimental results showed that when the temperature was 170℃, the solid- liquid ratio was 1:10 and the acid concentration was 5% by mass, the yield of levulinic acid was 24.35%. At this optimal hydrolysis condition, no cellulose or pentosan was detected in the hydrolyzed residue.

    Pyrolysis characteristics of the peanut shell before and after dryness are studied using thermogravimetric analysis at the heating rate of 25℃/min. The curves of TG, DTG and DTA are gotten through the experiments. After the detailed analysis of the curves, it is found that the pyrolysis process can be divided into four stages: the dehydrating phase, the pre-charring phase, the charring phase and the calcining phase. Compared with the curves of the fresh and dried sample, TG/DTG of the dried sample moves to the left as a whole and the pyrolysis temperature is decreased. Kinetics study of the pyrolysis process is carried out at last. All these results supply the theoretical basis for making full use of the peanut shell.

The compound was oxidized with H2O2. The specific surface area, pore diameter, acid value, solubility and thermal performance for both compounds were investigated. The specific surface areas and pore diameter are 0.3185 m2/g, 60-90 nm for polymer of rosin glycol acrylic ester and 9.3669 m2/g, 50-90 nm for its oxide(BET measurement), which means the synthesized polymer is a macroporous resin. The solubility for the polymer and its oxide are 0.0272 g/100 mL and 0.00482 g/100 mL in ethanol. The degree of crosslinking is 12.3%;both polymers have good thermal stabilities. No softening point was observed within 30-550℃. The relative molecular mass for the oxide is over 25000.
