ABSTRACT
Steam pretreatment at high temperatures enables fresh bamboo to possess antifungal and antiseptic properties. The process produces a large amount of wastewater that urgently needs to be recycled. Soluble bio-tars derived from wastewater under low-temperature (LTS-tar) and high-temperature (HTS-tar) steam pretreatments of moso bamboo were studied with a thermogravimetric analyzer coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR) and pyrolysis-gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). Thermogravimetric analysis showed that in the three stages of the thermal decomposition process, the final residue of the bamboo and HTS-tar had two main peaks of 0.88 wt% and 6.85 wt%. The LTS-tar had much more complicated thermal decomposition behavior, with six steps and a high residue yield of 23.86 wt%. A large quantity of CH4 was observed at the maximum mass loss rates of the bamboo and bio-tars. Acids, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and phenolic compounds were found in the pyrolysis products of the bamboo and soluble bio-tars. Both bio-tars contained carbohydrates and lignin fragments, but the LTS-tar under mild steam conditions had more saccharides and was much more sensitive to temperature. The lignin in the bamboo degraded under harsh steam conditions, resulting in high aromatic and polymeric features for the HTS-tar. The significant differences between LTS-tar and HTS-tar require different techniques to achieve the resource utilization of wastewater in the bamboo industry.
