摘要

The extraction of hemicelluloses from wood chips is crucial for producing value-added biomaterials in a forest biorefinery utilization. The low concentration of dissolved lignocellulosic materials dissolved in pre-hydrolysis liquor (PHL) presents a big challenge to the overall utilization processes. In this work, activated carbon (AC) was first modified with polydiallyldimethylammonium (P-DADMAC) chloride or chitosan, and then the modified AC was applied for adsorbing lignocellulosic materials from the PHL. The results showed that the amount of P-DADMAC or chitosan adsorbed on the AC played an important role in the adsorption of lignocellulosic materials. If the mass ratio of PHL to AC was low (20/1 or 40/1) in solutions, the polymer-modified AC had a higher adsorption than the unmodified AC for lignocellulosic materials. However, if the weight ratio was high (140/1), the adsorption of lignocellulosic materials was independent of the modification. Additionally, the P-DADMAC or chitosan modification had a negative effect on the adsorption rate of lignocellulosic materials on AC.
