“…Therefore, hemicellulose is easier to degrade than cellulose and lignin. At 160 °C or higher, the lignin content increases quickly with the increment of treatment temperature, which can be attributed to the lignin condensation reaction [ 14 ]. For detail, the polysaccharides in hemicellulose have low thermal stability under high temperatures due to their branched structure and amorphous structure, making it easier to decompose hemicellulose than other chemical components in bamboo [ 15 ].…”

“…Modern spectroscopic techniques, such as the Wet chemistry method, X-ray diffractometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and anti-fungal test, are effectively methods for analyzing the relationship between thermal modification and the change in chemistry components [ 14 ]. Thus, the thermal modification mechanism can be deeply investigated through these surface spectroscopic techniques.…”

Multi-Scale Evaluation of the Effect of Thermal Modification on Chemical Components, Dimensional Stability, and Anti-Mildew Properties of Moso Bamboo

By promoting greenhouse gas sequestration, bamboo and bamboo-based products can improve carbon storage, and thus help decrease greenhouses gas emission through replacing traditional products like concrete, steel, and alloy. Thermal modification is a useful way to effectively enhance the dimensional stability and mold-resistance property of bamboo and bamboo-based products compared with chemical treatment. This work investigates the change in anti-mildew properties, micro-structure, and chemical composition of bamboo after heat treatment. Saturated steam heat treatment was applied for this project. SEM results showed that the structural damage of parenchyma cells resulted in the separation of thin-walled cells and vascular bundles. Thus, the original regular structure of bamboo, characterized by plump and intact cells, changed markedly. After thermal modification, bamboo samples exhibited improved dimensional stability and anti-fungal properties due to the decrement of hemicellulose and cellulose. The hardness and MOE of the modified bamboo were 0.75 and 20.6 GPa, respectively.

“…Biomass carbon nanocomposites are a low-cost, readily available, widely distributed, and renewable nanomaterial. Several promising reports have emerged in recent years on the synthesis of carbon nanomaterials from cost-effective, rich, and renewable biomaterial resources such as saw dust, crab shells, bagasse, olive stone waste, and activated carbon cloth [ 63 , 64 ]. Activated carbon is widely used for the control of synthetic and naturally occurring EDCs in drinking water [ 65 ].…”

The large-scale production and frequent use of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have led to the continuous release and wide distribution of these pollutions in the natural environment. At low levels, EDC exposure may cause metabolic disorders, sexual development, and reproductive disorders in aquatic animals and humans. Adsorption treatment, particularly using nanocomposites, may represent a promising and sustainable method for EDC removal from wastewater. EDCs could be effectively removed from wastewater using various carbon-based nanomaterials, such as carbon nanofiber, carbon nanotubes, graphene, magnetic carbon nanomaterials, carbon membranes, carbon dots, carbon sponges, etc. Important applications of carbon nanocomposites for the removal of different kinds of EDCs and the theory of adsorption are discussed, as well as recent advances in carbon nanocomposite synthesis technology and characterization technology. Furthermore, the factors affecting the use of carbon nanocomposites and comparisons with other adsorbents for EDC removal are reviewed. This review is significant because it helps to promote the development of nanocomposites for the decontamination of wastewater.

“…Over the past decade, the development of biomass-based carbon materials and their conversion into different kind of carbon nanomaterials has gained immense attention in the research community and different biomass feedstocks have been converted into value added end products by researchers around the globe [ 1 ]. Out of different biomass feedstocks, one of the most promising feedstocks is lignin, which is an abundant biopolymer, waste product from paper and pulp industries with over 50 million metric tons isolated every year [ 2 ].…”

“…Lignin is pyrolyzed to get a carbon rich biochar which is used as soil amendment [ 2 ]. Recent studies have revealed that the lignin can be utilized to prepare high value-added carbon materials that can be used for different applications like conductive fillers for composites or electrodes for energy storage applications [ 1 , 2 ]. In addition to the compositional complexity of the feedstock, type of isolation technique plays a vital role in defining the final chemical structure of the technical lignins [ 3 ].…”

Technical lignins, kraft, soda, lignoboost, and hydrolysis lignins were used for the production of carbon particles at different carbonization temperatures, 1000 °C and 1400 °C. The results showed that the lignin source and carbonization temperature significantly influenced the carbon quality and microstructure of the carbon particles. Soda lignin carbonized up to 1400 °C showed higher degree of graphitization and exhibited the highest electrical conductivity of 335 S·m−1, which makes it suitable for applications, such as electromagnetic interference shielding and conductive composite based structural energy storage devices. The obtained carbon particles also showed high surface area and hierarchical pore structure. Kraft lignin carbonized up to 1400 °C gives the highest BET surface area of 646 m2 g−1, which makes it a good candidate for electrode materials in energy storage applications. The energy storage application has been validated in a three-electrode set up device, and a specific capacitance of 97.2 F g−1 was obtained at a current density of 0.1 A g−1 while an energy density of 1.1 Wh kg−1 was observed at a power density of 50 W kg−1. These unique characteristics demonstrated the potential of kraft lignin-based carbon particles for electrochemical energy storage applications.
