Liquefaction of metal-contaminated giant reed biomass in acidified ethylene glycol system: Batch experiments

Giant reed is a suitable pioneer plant for metal-contaminated soil phytoremediation, however, it is imperative to dispose the metal-contaminated biomass after harvesting. The liquefaction of metal-contaminated giant reed biomass in ethylene glycol system with sulfuric acid as catalyst for the precur...

Description
Summary:Giant reed is a suitable pioneer plant for metal-contaminated soil phytoremediation, however, it is imperative to dispose the metal-contaminated biomass after harvesting. The liquefaction of metal-contaminated giant reed biomass in ethylene glycol system with sulfuric acid as catalyst for the precursors of polyurethane compounds was studied. The results show that giant reed biomass from metal-contaminated soil is potentially liquefied and significantly affected by solvent/solid ratio, liquefaction temperature and liquefaction time ( P
