    Fruits and vegetables preservation is particularly important, since they are extremely perishable and have short shelf life. At present, the commonly used methods are cryopreservation and preservative treatment. Film preservation has attracted much interest due to its low cost and good effect. However, common chemical preservatives such as dibromotetrachloroethane and triazoles have certain harm against human health. Forestry biomass resources are environment-friendly and sustainable, so the preserving agent formulated with some forestry biomass has been widely applied. The applications of polysaccharides, shellac, rosin and other forestry biomass in fresh-keeping coating preservation of fruits and vegetables are summarized in this paper. The methods of coating film are discussed, and the prospects for the future development of the preservation of modified biomass-based coating film are proposed.

    Three kinds of modified poplar wood fibers(PWF) named hexadecyltrimethoxysilane(HDS) impregnated modified poplar fiber(HPWF), 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecyltrimethoxysilane(FDS) impregnated modified poplar fiber(FPWF1) and FDS spray modified poplar fiber(FPWF2) were obtained by respectively using HDS and FDS as modifiers and ethanol-water solution as dispersing media by impregnation and spray methods. The effects of solvent ratios, dosage of silanes, hydrolysis temperature and time of silanes, reaction temperature and time on the surface modification of PWF were studied. The chemical structures and surface properties of unmodified and modified PWF were investigated by Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy, contact angle measurement, X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). HPWF was treated with HDS(hydrolyzed at 60℃ for 1 h) at 60℃ for 1 h in ethanol/water solution. The results showed that when the molar ratio of HDS to active hydroxyl of PWF was 0.4:1 with ethanol mass fraction of 60%, the surface contact angle of HPWF was up to 139°; when the molar ratio of FDS to active hydroxyl of PWF was 0.16:1 with ethanol mass fraction of 50%, the surface contact angle of FPWF1 was up to 141°. Specially, the surface contact angle of FPWF2 was up to 138° when the fiber was wetted at the molar ratio of FDS to active hydroxyl of PWF 0.008:1, and then activated at 120℃ for 1.5 h. Compared with the impregnation method, the spray method had the advantages of small dosage of silane, simple process, cleanliness and high efficiency. In addition, the modified fibers had the properties of higher crystallinity(from 62.1% to 67.7%-69.7%), rougher surface, bigger specific surface area, lower surface polarity, and higher hydrophobicity, which were conducive to improving the interfacial compatibility and bonding with hydrophobic resin matrix.

    The co-pyrolysis activities of sawdust/low-density polyethylene(LDPE) were studied in fixed-bed reactor. The effect of temperature on the co-pyrolysis behavior was also investigated by comparing with sawdust and LDPE individually. The results showed that the bio-oil yield could be effectively improved by the co-pyrolysis process, the maximum bio-oil yield(56.84%) was obtained at 600℃, which was 6.44 percentage point higher than the theoretical value. The composition of biomass and LDPE co-pyrolysis liquid products was analyzed by GC-MS. It was found that the bio-oil components produced by co-pyrolysis were mainly aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols and phenols. Some specific components, such as undecanol, heptenal and other oxygen-containing long-chain compounds, were also produced during the co-pyrolysis process, which was the product of free radical interaction between biomass and LDPE. The synergistic effect of co-pyrolysis of sawdust and LDPE was studied by thermogravimetry-infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that the maximum reaction rate temperature during co-pyrolysis was 490℃, which was about 22℃ lower than 512℃, which was the temperature of maximum reaction rate in LDPE individual pyrolysis. The hydroxyl radical generated during the lignin cracking process combining with the small molecular produced by the cleavage of LDPE formed undecanol, octyl-phenol and the like, and the furans and aldehydes formed during the pyrolysis of cellulose were reacted with the resulting CnHm formed by cleavage of LDPE to obtain the substances such as 2-butyltetrahydrofuran, heptenal, dodecanal or the like.

    The graphene oxide(GO) dispersion was prepared by the modified Hummer's method using flake graphite as raw material. The amorphous Ni-P/rGO composite catalyst was prepared by chemical reduction method, and the rosin hydrogenation was used as the probe reaction to study the effects of catalyst preparation conditions on the catalytic performance. And the process conditions of rosin hydrogenation were further optimized by orthogonal test. The results showed that the optimum preparation conditions were the mass ratio of Ni element to GO 6:1, the pH value of the solution 11, the ratio of n(P)/n(Ni) 5:1, the temperature 70℃, and the reaction time 4.5 h. The catalyst had a high activity for hydrogenation of rosin under the suitable hydrogenation conditions of 5% catalyst, reaction temperature 200℃ and reaction pressure 4.5 MPa. The conversion of abietic-type resin acid was 99.37%, and the reproducibility was good. The catalyst could maintain high catalytic activity after 7 times repeated using. X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) characterization showed that the amorphous Ni-P/rGO composite catalyst was successfully prepared, and the Ni-P particles without rGO had larger particle size and poor dispersity. The Ni0 content in the composite catalyst decreased relatively after 7 times of use, and the loss of active components caused a slight decrease in catalysis.

    Formaldehyde-free ultra-low density fiberboards(NUDF) were prepared by P-N-B hybrid flame retardants and isocyanate(PMDI) adhesive. The effects of P-N-B flame retardant addition on the physicochemical properties, formaldehyde emission, and flame retardant performance of NUDF were investigated. The results showed that the physico-mechanical property and formaldehyde emission of NUDF gradually declined with the increase of P-N-B flame retardants amount(0-8%). However, the flammability of NUDF significantly decreased, the oxygen index increased, total heat release decreased, and carbonization phenomenon of UNDF was obvious. The NUDF displayed optimized performance as the flame retardant addition reached 6%. Specifically, the internal bonding strength(IB), modulus of rupture(MOR), the thickness expansion rate of water absorption for 24 h(24 h TS), formaldehyde release and combustion length was 0.41 MPa, 14.5 MPa, 8.1%, 2.0 μg/g and 80 mm, respectively. The oxygen index was 32.5% and total heat release of 600 s was 12 MJ/m2. The flame retardant and smoke production performance of NUDF met the B1-C and S1 grade of GB 8624-2012 standard, respectively. The NUDF had excellent mechanical properties, environmentally friendly performance, and good flame retardant properties. The results of cone calorimetry showed that with the increase of flame retardant addition, the total heat release of combustion process decreased, the total smoke production increased, the yield of CO increased and the yield of CO2 decreased.

    Cellulose, lignin, fir sawdust and walnut shell were used as the start materials. Graphitization procedure after carbonization was carried out at 1 400℃ with the assistant of Ni. X-ray diffraction(XRD), Raman spectra and high resolution transparent electron microscopy(HRTEM) were used to evaluate the results of graphitization. The results showed that cellulose played a important role during the graphitization of biomass. Under the same treat progress, cellulose based product had the highest graphitic degree while lignin had the lowest graphitic degree, and both fir sawdust and walnut shell had the graphitic degree between those of the cellulose and lignin. The obvious difference of graphitic degree might be caused by the difference of the structures of different materials. The conductivity of cellulose based product was measured to be 54 S/cm while that of lignin based product was 31 S/cm, corresponding to the graphitic degree. The graphitic degree of the cellulose/lignin mixture based product was between those of the cellulose and lignin, and the mass ratio had little effect on the graphitic degree.

By investigating the stability of coating film, the optimized preparation conditions of lacquer wax composite coating wax were as follows:12.0% shellac, 1%-3% lacquer wax, stirring speed of 900 r/min, and dispersing time of 15 min. The results of antibacterial test showed that the antibacterial effects of the composite coating film on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis were the best under the conditions of the amount of lacquer wax 2%, and the inhibitory rates were 24.3%, 26.5% and 25.2%, respectively, which were higher than those of the shellac coating(the inhibition rates increased by 40.5%, 62.6% and 62.6%, respectively). The composite coating film displayed obvious preservation effects on the ponkan and effectively prolonged the preservation period. After storage for 20 days at room temperature, the rot rate of the samples treated by composite coating was only 1.0%. When the treated ponkan were stored for 60 d, the rot rate of treated samples was 10.0%, compared with the blank control(38.4%) and shellac coating samples(18.6%), the rot rate was lower by 28.4 and 8.6 percent point, respectively(P < 0.01).
