RESUMO
Mild alkali treatment can potentially be developed as a greener alternative to the traditional alkali treatment of starch, but the effect of mild alkali on starch is still understudied. Normal and waxy rice starches were subjected to mild alkali combined with hydrothermal treatment to investigate their changes in physicochemical properties. After mild alkali treatment, the protein content of normal and waxy rice starches decreased from 0.76% to 0.23% and from 0.89% to 0.23%, respectively. Mild alkali treatment decreased gelatinization temperature but increased the swelling power and solubility of both starches. Mild alkali treatment also increased the gelatinization enthalpy of waxy rice starch from 20.01 J/g to 25.04 J/g. Mild alkali treatment at room temperature increased the pasting viscosities of both normal and waxy rice starches, whereas at high temperature, it decreased pasting viscosities during hydrothermal treatment. Alkali treatment significantly changed the properties of normal and waxy rice starch by the ionization of hydroxyl groups and the removal of starch granule-associated proteins. Hydrothermal conditions promoted the effect of alkali. The combination of hydrothermal and alkali treatment led to greater changes in starch properties.
RESUMO
This study reports the production of biochar adsorbents from two major crop residues (i.e., rice and wheat straw) to remove naphthenic acids from water. The alkali treatment approach was used for biochar activation that resulted in a tremendous increase in their surface area, i.e., up to 2252 and 2314 m2/g, respectively, for rice and wheat straw biochars. Benzoic acid was used as a model compound to optimize critical adsorption parameters. Its maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 459.55 and 357.64 mg/g was achieved for activated rice and wheat straw biochars. The adsorption of benzoic acid was exothermic (∆H° = - 7.06 and - 3.89 kJ/mol) and identified possibly as physisorption (Gibbs free energy ranges 3.5-4.0 kJ/mol). The kinetic study suggested that adsorption follows pseudo-second-order kinetics with qe2 for rice straw and wheat straw-derived adsorbents at 200 and 194 mg/g, respectively. As adsorbent, the recyclability of activated biochars was noticed with no significant loss in their efficiency for up to ten successive regeneration cycles. The adsorption results were validated using a commercial naphthenic acid mixture-spiked river water and paper/pulp industrial effluent. The activated rice and wheat straw biochars exhibited excellent adsorption efficiency of 130.3 and 74.6 mg/g, respectively. The naphthenic acid adsorption on biochar surface was due to various interactions, i.e., weak van der Waal's, pore filling, π-π stacking, and ionic interactions. This study offers a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach to valorizing agricultural residues for pollutant removal from industrial wastewater, including petroleum refineries.
RESUMO
Normal and waxy maize starches were treated with mild alkali treatment (pH 8.5, 9.9, 11.3) in two temperature-time combinations (25 °C for 1 h and 50 °C for 18 h) to investigate the effect on starch structure and properties. Mild alkali treatment partly removed the starch granule-associated proteins and lipids of normal (from 0.31 % to 0.24 % and from 0.77 % to 0.55 %, respectively) and waxy maize starches (from 0.22 % to 0.18 % and from 0.24 % to 0.15 %, respectively). Gelatinization enthalpy of waxy maize starch increased with alkali treatment from 16.20 J·g-1 to 21.95 J·g-1, indicating that amylopectin (AP) rearrangement and AP-AP double helices formation might occur. But amylose could inhibit these effects by restricting mobility of amylopectin, and no such changes occurred for normal maize starch. Alkali treatment decreased gelatinization temperature and increased peak and final viscosity. Alkali treatment decreased trough viscosity and increased setback of normal maize starch. The hydrothermal treatment promoted the effect of alkali, attributed to the more rapid molecular motion at higher temperature. Normal and waxy starches showed different changes after alkali treatment, indicating that amylose played an important role in controlling the effect of alkali and hydrothermal treatment, primarily as an obstructer of amylopectin rearrangement in mild alkali treatment.

Microbes naturally inhabit bamboo-based materials in outdoor environments, sequentially contributing to their deterioration. Fungi play a significant role in deterioration, especially in environments with abundant water and favorable temperatures. Alkali treatment is often employed in the pretreatment of round bamboo to change its natural elastic and aesthetic behaviors. However, little research has investigated the structure and dynamics of fungal communities on alkali-treated round bamboo during natural deterioration. In this work, high-throughput sequencing and multiple characterization methods were used to disclose the fungal community succession and characteristic alterations of alkali-treated round bamboo in both roofed and unroofed habitats throughout a 13-week deterioration period. In total, 192 fungal amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) from six phyla were identified. The fungal community richness of roofed bamboo samples declined, whereas that of unroofed bamboo samples increased during deterioration. The phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota exhibited dominance during the entire deterioration process in two distinct environments, and the relative abundance of them combined was more than 99%. A distinct shift in fungal communities from Basidiomycota dominant in the early stage to Ascomycota dominant in the late stage was observed, which may be attributed to the increase of moisture and temperature during succession and the effect of alkali treatment. Among all environmental factors, temperature contributed most to the variation in the fungal community. The surface of round bamboo underwent continuous destruction from fungi and environmental factors. The total amount of cell wall components in bamboo epidermis in both roofed and unroofed conditions presented a descending trend. The content of hemicellulose declined sharply by 8.3% and 11.1% under roofed and unroofed environments after 9 weeks of deterioration. In addition, the contact angle was reduced throughout the deterioration process in both roofed and unroofed samples, which might be attributed to wax layer removal and lignin degradation. This study provides theoretical support for the protection of round bamboo under natural weathering.
RESUMO
Natural fiber composites have been extensively studied for structural applications, with recent exploration into their potential for various uses. This study investigates the impact of chemical treatments on the properties of Brazilian jute woven fabric/polyester resin composites. Sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and peracetic acid were utilized to treat the jute fabrics, followed by resin transfer molding (RTM) to form the composites. Evaluation included water absorption, flexural strength, tensile strength, and short-beam strength. The alkaline treatment induced changes in the chemical composition of the fibers' surface. Chemical treatments resulted in increased flexural and short-beam strength of the composites, with no significant alterations in tensile properties. The hydrogen peroxide treatment exhibited lower water absorption, suggesting its potential as a viable option for enhancing the performance of these composites.
RESUMO
Plant fibers have been studied as sources of nanocellulose due to their sustainable features. This study investigated the effects of acid hydrolysis parameters, reaction temperature, and acid concentration on nanocellulose yield from maguey (Agave cantala) fiber. Nanocellulose was produced from the fibers via the removal of non-cellulosic components through alkali treatment and bleaching, followed by strong acid hydrolysis for 45 min using sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The temperature during acid hydrolysis was 30, 40, 50, and 60 °C, and the H2SO4 concentration was 40, 50, and 60 wt. % H2SO4. Results showed that 53.56% of raw maguey fibers were isolated as cellulose, that is, 89.45% was α-cellulose. The highest nanocellulose yield of 81.58 ± 0.36% was achieved from acid hydrolysis at 50 °C using 50 wt. % H2SO4, producing nanocellulose measuring 8-75 nm in diameter and 72-866 nm in length, as confirmed via field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated the chemical transformation of fibers throughout the nanocellulose production process. The zeta potential analysis showed that the nanocellulose had excellent colloidal stability with a highly negative surface charge of -37.3 mV. Meanwhile, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis validated the crystallinity of nanocellulose with a crystallinity index of 74.80%. Lastly, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated that the inflection point attributed to the cellulose degradation of the produced nanocellulose is 311.41 °C.
RESUMO
Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (IFA) designated as hazardous waste poses risks to environment and human health. This study introduces a novel approach for the stabilization and solidification (S/S) of IFA: a combined approach involving alkali treatment and immobilization in low-carbon supersulfated cement (SSC). The impact of varying temperatures of alkali solution on the chemical and mineralogical compositions, as well as the pozzolanic reactivity of IFA, and the removal efficiency of heavy metals and metallic aluminum (Al) were examined. The physical characteristics, hydration kinetics and effectiveness of SSC in immobilizing IFA were also analyzed. Results showed that alkali treatment at 25 °C effectively eliminated heavy metals like manganese (Mn), barium (Ba), nickel (Ni), and chromium (Cr) to safe levels and totally removed the metallic Al, while enhancing the pozzolanic reactivity of IFA. By incorporating the alkali-treated IFA and filtrate, the density, compressive strength and hydration reaction of SSC were improved, resulting in higher hydration degree, finer pore structure, and denser microstructure compared to untreated IFA. The rich presence of calcium-aluminosilicate-hydrate (C-(A)-S-H) and ettringite (AFt) in SSC facilitated the efficient stabilization and solidification of heavy metals, leading to a significant decrease in their leaching potential. The use of SSC for treating Ca(OH)2- and 25°C-treated IFA could achieve high strength and high-efficient immobilization.

In the context of sustainable materials, this study explores the effects of accelerated weathering testing and bacterial biodegradation on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/rapeseed microfiber biocomposites. Accelerated weathering, simulating outdoor environmental conditions, and bacterial biodegradation, representing natural degradation processes in soil, were employed to investigate the changes in the mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of these materials during its post-production life cycle. Attention was paid to the assessment of the change of structural, mechanical and calorimetric properties of alkali and N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO)-treated rapeseed microfiber (RS)-reinforced plasticized PHBV composites before and after accelerated weathering. Results revealed that accelerated weathering led to an increase in stiffness, but a reduction in tensile strength and elongation at break, of the investigated PHBV biocomposites. Additionally, during accelerated weathering, the crystallinity of PHBV biocomposites increased, especially in the presence of RS, due to both the hydrolytic degradation of the polymer matrix and the nucleating effect of the filler. It has been observed that an increase in PHBV crystallinity, determined by DSC measurements, correlates with the intensity ratio I1225/1180 obtained from FTIR-ATR data. The treatment of RS microfibers increased the biodegradation capability of the developed PHBV composites, especially in the case of chemically untreated RS. All the developed PHBV composites demonstrated faster biodegradation in comparison to neat PHBV matrix.
RESUMO
Low-concentration alkali treatments at low temperatures facilitate the crystal transition of cellulose I to II. However, the transition mechanism remains unclear. Hence, in this study, we traced the transition using in situ solid-state 13C CP/MAS NMR, WAXS, and 23Na NMR relaxation measurements. In situ solid-state 13C CP/MAS NMR and WAXS measurements revealed that soaking cellulose in NaOH at low temperatures disrupts the intramolecular hydrogen bonds and lowers the crystallinity of cellulose. The dynamics of Na ions (NaOH) play a crucial role in causing these phenomena. 23Na NMR relaxation measurements indicated that the Na-ion correlation time becomes longer during the crystal transition. This transition requires the penetration of Na ions (NaOH) into the cellulose crystal and a reduction in Na-ion mobility, which occurs at low temperatures or high NaOH concentrations. The interactions between cellulose and NaOH disrupt intramolecular hydrogen bonds, inducing a conformational change in the cellulose molecules into a more stable arrangement. This weakens the hydrophobic interactions of cellulose, and facilitates the penetration of NaOH and water into the crystal, leading to the formation of alkali cellulose. Our findings suggest that a strategy to control NaOH dynamics could lead to the discovery of a novel preparation method for cellulose II.
RESUMO
The comprehensive separation and utilization of whole components of lignocellulosic materials has received extensive attention in present research. This study focused on the efficacy of alkali treatment for enzymatic saccharification of cellulose based on p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) pretreated bamboo substrate. The results showed that the cellulose to glucose conversion yield was 94.69 % under optimized conditions of 0.4 g NaOH/g, 160 °C and 4 h (soaked), which after only 6 h enzymatic hydrolysis time. Alkali lignin recovery was 88.51 %, with potential for conversion to lignin derivatives. The yield of hemicellulose in the pretreated filtrate was 51.85 % after the 4th cycling reuse of p-TsOH. This work has borrowed the advantages of p-TsOH pretreatment of depolymerized hemicellulose from bamboo, combined with a low-priced weak alkali secondary treatment method, which can be effectively applied to the co-production of lignin, xylooligosaccharide, xylose and glucose, and the whole process is green and economically sustainable.

The posttranslational N-glycosylation of food proteins is important to their structure and function. However, the N-glycoproteomics of yellow preserved egg white were rarely reported. This study explored the changes of N-glycoproteome in yellow preserved eggs white after salt and alkali treatment. A total of 213 N-glycosites were identified on 102 glycoproteins, revealing prevalent glycosylation motifs and multiple N-glycosites within proteins. Salt and alkali treatment significantly altered the glycosylation patterns, impacting major proteins differently. GO analysis indicated the roles of differentially expressed glycoproteins in responding to stimuli and biological regulation. KEGG analysis emphasized the importance of salivary secretion pathway in enzyme secretion and peptide generation. Protein domain analysis highlighted the downregulation of Serpin. Protein-protein interaction networks revealed Apolipoprotein B as central players. This study provides essential structural information on the glycosylation modifications of egg white proteins, contributing to our understanding of the mechanisms behind the functional properties of preserved eggs.
RESUMO
In order to enhance the antibacterial property of titanium implant without inducing obvious cytotoxicity, the combination of Ag nanolayer and micro/nano surface structure was conducted by magnetron sputtering and hot-alkali treatment in this study. A series of specimens (AH-Ti, AH-Ti/Ag0.25, AH-Ti/Ag1, AH-Ti/Ag2, and AH-Ti/Ag5) were prepared with different sputtering durations (0 min, 0.25 min, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min), respectively, all realizing long-term release of Ag+. In vitro experiments indicated that AH-Ti/Ag1 group possessed good cytocompatibility, nice osteogenic ability, and excellent antibacterial efficiency as well. In addition, AH-Ti/Ag0.25 showed good biocompatibility, while the reduction of S.aureus (78.5%) was not enough compared with AH-Ti/Ag1. Although the AH-Ti/Ag2 and AH-Ti/Ag5 group showed superior antibacterial activity, their obvious cytotoxicity caused low ALP and mineralization level. Therefore, the design of suitable Ag nanolayer coating combined with micro/nano surface structure (AH-Ti/Ag1) might be a promising strategy to enhance osteogenic property and maintain excellent antibacterial ability at the same time.

The oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense is an important freshwater economic species in China, producing huge economic benefits. However, M. nipponense shows lower alkali tolerance than fish species, thus genetic selection is urgently needed in order to improve alkali tolerance in this species. In the present study, the effects of alkalinity exposure on the hepatopancreas of M. nipponense were measured under the alkali concentrations of 0 (control), 4, 8, and 12 mmol/L with the exposure time of 96 h through histological observations, measurement of antioxidant enzymes, metabolic profiling analysis, and transcriptome profiling analysis. The present study identified that the low concentration of alkali treatment (<4 mmol/L) did not result in morphological changes in the hepatopancreas and activity changes in antioxidant enzymes, while high-alkali treatment (>8 mmol/L) damaged the normal structures of the lumen and vacuoles and significantly stimulated the levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and total antioxidant capacity, indicating these antioxidant enzymes play essential roles in the protection of the body from the damage caused by the alkali treatment. Metabolic profiling analysis revealed that the main enriched metabolic pathways of differentially expressed metabolites in the present study were consistent with the metabolic pathways caused by environmental stress in plants and other aquatic animals. Transcriptome profiling analysis revealed that the alkali concentration of <8 mmol/L did not lead to significant changes in gene expression. The main enriched metabolic pathways were selected from the comparison between 0 mmol/L vs. 12 mmol/L, and some significantly up-regulated genes were selected from these metabolic pathways, predicting these selected metabolic pathways and genes are involved in the adaptation to alkali treatment in M. nipponense. The expressions of Ras-like GTP-binding protein, Doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 1a, and Hypothetical protein JAY84 are sensitive to changes in alkali concentrations, suggesting these three genes participated in the process of alkali adaptation in M. nipponense. The present study identified the effects of alkalinity exposure on the hepatopancreas of M. nipponense, including the changes in antioxidant status and the expressions of metabolites and genes, contributing to further studies of alkali tolerance in this species.
RESUMO
This study was based on the experimental performance evaluation of a wood polymer composite (WPC) that was synthesized by incorporating untreated and treated rice husk (RH) fibers into a polypropylene random copolymer matrix. The submicron-scale RH fibers were alkali-treated to modify the surface and introduce new functional groups in the WPC. A compatibilizer (maleic anhydride) and a thermos-mechanical properties modifier (polypropylene grafted with 30 % glass fiber) were used in the WPC. The effects of untreated and treated RH on the WPC panels were studied using FESEM, FTIR, and microscope images. A pin-on-disk setup was used to investigate the bulk tribological properties of PPRC and WPC. The complex relationship between the friction coefficient of different loading of RH fibers in the WPC, as a function of sliding distance, was analyzed along with the temperature and morphology of the surface. It was observed that untreated RH acted as a friction modifier, while treated RH acted as a solid lubricant. Microhardness was calculated using the QCSM module on nanoindentation. It was found that untreated RH led to an increase in microhardness, while treated RH caused a decrease in hardness compared to PPRC.
RESUMO
Alkali-activated slag (AAS) presents a promising alternative to ordinary Portland cement due to its cost effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and satisfactory durability characteristics. In this paper, cow dung waste was recycled as a renewable natural cellulose fiber, modified with alkali, and then added to AAS mortar. The physico-chemical characteristics of raw and modified cow dung fibers were determined through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). Investigations were conducted on the dispersion of cow dung fibers in the AAS matrix, as well as the flowability, strength, and autogenous shrinkage of AAS mortar with varying cow dung fiber contents. The results indicated that modified fiber has higher crystallinity and surface roughness. The ultrasonic method showed superior effectiveness compared to pre-mixing and after-mixing methods. Compared with raw cow dung fibers, modified fibers led to an increase of 11.3% and 36.3% of the 28 d flexural strength and compressive strength of the AAS mortar, respectively. The modified cow dung fibers had a more significant inhibition on autogenous shrinkage, and the addition of 2 wt% cow dung fibers reduced the 7 d autogenous shrinkage of the AAS paste by 52.8% due to the "internal curing effect." This study provides an alternative value-added recycling option for cow dung fibers as a potential environmentally friendly and sustainable reinforcing raw material for cementitious materials, which can be used to develop low autogenous shrinkage green composites.
RESUMO
Given the increasingly prominent contradiction between the supply of and demand for wood, the abundant resource of bamboo can be a good substitute. Bamboo scrimber can effectively improve the utilization rate of bamboo and has good mechanical properties. However, bamboo scrimber has the problem of poor mildew resistance, and does not meet the requirements for outdoor applications. In this study, in order to further improve the mildew resistance and mechanical properties of bamboo scrimber, alkali treatment was used to remove some nutrients from the bamboo bundles and change the pH of the bamboo scrimber. The results showed that nutrients such as hemicellulose, lignin, starch, and sugar were notably removed from bamboo bundles, and the pH of bamboo was slightly alkaline. The anti-mildew effect was significantly enhanced, which could allow use in outdoor environments, and the mechanical properties and dimensional stability were also improved. Among them, TB6 bamboo scrimber showed comprehensively excellent properties. The infection time in the laboratory mildew test increased from 3 days to more than 30 days, and the infection time in the outdoor mildew resistance test increased from 1 week to more than 8 weeks; the static bending intensity of TB6 increased by 62.6% to 150 MPa, and the bending modulus increased by 71.7% to 14.2 GPa; the change rate of water absorption thickness was reduced to 0.58%. This modification method effectively improved the mildew resistance of bamboo scrimber, while maintaining high mechanical strength, and provides a new method for the outdoor application of bamboo scrimber.
RESUMO
This study investigated the structural and emulsion-stabilizing capacities of alkali-extracted arabinoxylans from corn and wheat bran (CAXs and WAXs). The results demonstrated that all AXs were mainly composed of arabinose and xylose. WAXs had a higher weight-average molecular weight (Mw, 375-473 KDa) and protein content (3.09-8.68 %) but lower total phenolic acid content (TPC, 1.18-1.91 mg gallic acid equivalents/g) than CAXs; however, CAX stabilized emulsions exhibited smaller and more regular oil droplet size (524-589 nm) and higher absolute value of ζ potential (48-52 mV) compared with WAX stabilized emulsions during storage. Moreover, the increment of NaOH concentration caused a decrease in Mw, protein content, and TPC of CAXs or WAXs and the corresponding CAXs or WAXs emulsions showed bigger and more unstable oil droplets during 14 d storage. The Mw, protein, and TPC were well correlated with their emulsion stability. Furthermore, emulsions stabilized by AXs with low-concentration NaOH could resist better various temperatures, pH, and NaCl. In conclusion, the structural properties of AXs derived from different cereal sources and treated with different concentrations of NaOH varied, leading to differences in their ability to stabilize emulsions. CAXs or WAXs obtained from low-concentration NaOH treatment demonstrated significant potential as highly effective natural emulsifiers.
RESUMO
In this work, Ce was used as the A-site element and three-dimensional ordered macroporous (3DOM) materials as the template to obtain 3DOM CeCo0.7Mn0.3O3 catalyst via excessive impregnation method. The catalyst was subjected to acid/alkali treatment with dilute nitric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions. The results revealed that the catalysts subjected to acid/alkali treatment exhibited better structural and catalytic activity characteristics than the bulk catalyst. Specifically, the specific surface area of the catalyst treated with acid increased from 34.86 to 60.67 m2·g-1, and the relative contents of Oads and Mn4+ species increased. Moreover, the T90% further decreased to 174 °C. As for the catalyst treated with alkali, it exhibited a rougher surface and a wider pore size distribution, producing more lattice defects which were favorable for reaction progress. The T90% was 183 °C, indicating that acid/alkali treatment both had a positive effect on the catalytic oxidation of toluene.
RESUMO
In the context of the growing interest in biopolymer-based materials for various applications, this study aimed to enhance the properties of chitosan (CS, a derivative of chitin) films by incorporating caffeic acid, a polyphenol compound known for its multiple health benefits. The objective was to improve the mechanical parameters of the resulting films, including surface roughness and elasticity. CS was combined with caffeic acid and then underwent a neutralization process. The modified films exhibited potential for use in soft tissue engineering, where increased elasticity and surface roughness are desirable characteristics. The main methods employed to evaluate the structure and properties of the films included mechanical analysis, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle measurement, and swelling behavior. The study's main findings revealed significant alterations in the mechanical properties and surface morphology of the films. The main conclusions drawn from the study suggest that interactions between caffeic acid and CS hold promise for the development of advanced biomaterials in medicine, tissue engineering, and cosmetic formulations. However, a deeper understanding of these interactions is necessary to optimize the material properties and unlock their full potential.
RESUMO
In this study, high amylose maize starch(HAMS)was treated by Hydrothermal-alkali. SEM, SAXS, XRD, FTIR, LC-Raman, 13C CP/MAS NMR, GPC and TGA were used to study the changes in the granules and structure of HAMS. The results show that the granule morphology, lamellar structure, and birefringence of HAMS remained intact at 30 °C and 45 °C. With increasing temperature, the starch granules are fragmented, and the crystallinity, DD, FWHM values, molecular weight, and thermal stability of HAMS decrease. The double helical structure dissociated, and the content of amorphous regions increased, indicating the from order to the disorder of the HAMS structure. A similar annealing behavior occurred in HAMS at 45 °C, with the rearrangement of amylose and amylopectin occurring. At 75 °C and 90 °C, the short-chain starch produced by chain breakage regroups to form an ordered double helix structure. In general, the granule structure level of HAMS was damaged to different degrees at varying temperatures. HAMS showed gelatinization behavior in alkaline solutions when the temperature is 60 °C. This study expects to provide a model for the gelatinization theory of HAMS systems.
