    By using inorganic foaming principles,polyvinyl alcohol/alkali lignin foaming material(PLFM),polyvinyl alcohol/epoxided alkali lignin foaming material(PELFM),and polyvinyl alcohol/hydroxymethylated alkali lignin foaming material(PHLFM),were prepared,with polyvinyl alcohol and modified alkali lignin as raw materials and formaldehyde as crosslinking agent.Then they were determined and analyzed by FT-IR,scanning electron microscope,DSC,and TG.The results showed that when PVA was 5g and the addition of epoxided alkali lignin was 50% of the PVA's mass,formaldehyde 24%,sulfuric acid 54%,and 120 ℃ for solidification,the obtained PELFM had the maximum tensile strength,17.26 MPa.FT-IR results showed that substitutions were occurred on the benzene rings of PLFM and PHLFM at the 5-position,but PELFM not.SEM maps showed that the pore sizes were irregular and the porosity was large.Compared with others,PELFM possessed lower tensile property,apparent density,and water absorbency.From DSC and TG analysis,PELFM had the lowest glass transition temperature,the best biological compatibility,the maximum residual quantity and the maximum temperature corresponding to the highest lose rate peak.This temperature which was between the relevant temperatures of alkali lignin and PVA.It indicated that PELFM had the best heat resistance and thermal stability.

    A rapid,specific,and accurate HPLC method was developed and validated for the assay of pyrogallol.The assay involved a gradient elution of pyrogallol with a Thermo Hypersil C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm) using mobile phase composition of methanol and water (0.1% TFA) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.UV detection was performed at 266 nm.Ellagic acid was used as an internal standard.The retention time of pyrogallol and ellagic acid was 4.33 and 19.25 min,respectively.The linearity range of pyrogallol concentration was from 62.5 to 2 000 mg/L.The fitting equation of calibration curve was y=0.000 138 66x+0.001 92 (R=0.999 7) and a mean recovery of 103.6% was found.The proposed method was applied for the quantitative determination of pyrogallol in pyrogallol products.

    Nanofibrillated cellulose(NFC) was prepared by high pressure homogenization method with absorbent cotton as raw materials.NFCs modified with chlorotrimethylsilane(TMCS) and octadecyltrichlorosilane were prepared respectively.Ultrastructral morphologies and structures of NFC,and silanization modified NFC were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM),fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),X-ray diffraction spectroscopy(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),respectively.The research results show that the ultrastructral morphology of NFC is fibrillar,and its diameter is mostly about 20 nm,its length is mainly distributed in 500-1 000 nm,and its structure is cellulose type I.The results of FT-IR and SEM analysis show that the modified effect of 150 μL TMCS is better than others in the silanization modifications,and the ultrastructral morphology of the accordingly modified NFC is fibrillar.

    The production of xylonic acid from hydrolysates of straw by whole-cell catalysis was investigated with long-term domesticated Gluconobacter oxydans as catalytic strain.The results showed that the catalytic reaction could be inhibited by hydrolysates without detoxication,and the inhibitory effect was more obvious with the increase of concentration.However,it could be counteracted by increasing inoculation quantity and dissolved oxygen.In the shake flask system,with the inoculation amount of 2 g/L and the xylose concentration of hydrolysates more than 100 g/L,the performance of cell catalysis was inhibited seriously,and the yield of xylonic acid and utilization rate of xylose were all lower than 50%.When the inoculation amount increased to 8 g/L,the yield of xylonic acid reached 85.7%.The method of compressed oxygen supply in the sealed aerated stirred tank reactor was investigated,and in 24 h the concentration and yield of xylonic acid reached 103.1 g/L and 93.1%,respectively.And the production rate increased 1.6 folds compared with that of the shaker system when xylose concentration of hydrolysates was 100 g/L and inoculation amount of G.oxydans was 8 g/L.

    With an aim to optimize the conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat straw,the parameters including solid content,enzyme loading,temperature,pH,and hydrolysis time were investigated by means of response surface methodology(RSM) with the reducing sugar(RS) yield as response value.The results showed that all the parameters had significant effects(p<0.05) on the reducing sugar yield.A well fitted regression equation with R2 value of 0.946 9,p<0.05,coefficient variability(Cv) value of 4.37%,and adequate precision value of 26.396 indicated that the developed model was significant and could be used to navigate the designed space and predict the response.The predicted optimum conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis were solid content of 8.0%,enzyme loading of 35 FPU/g,temperature of 50 ℃,pH of 5.4,and hydrolysis time of 96 h.The experimental results showed that under the optimum conditions the corresponding RS yield was 60.73% with glucose and xylose concentrations of 31.84 and 16.74 g/L,respectively.Further,the results obtained in this research showed a high RS yield with high initial solid content,which would significantly improve the ethanol concentration,reduce the subsequently distillation costs,and improve the commercial potential of the lignocellulosic bioethanol production.
