    Based on the analysis of the physicochemical properties of activated carbon, the refining effects of four activated carbon prepared by chemical method and two activated carbon prepared by physical methods on the grade four rice bran oil were studied. The influence of refining process conditions on the refining effect of the grade four rice bran oil was also investigated. Furthermore, the adsorped activated carbon was regenerated by solvent method, and the refining effect of regenerated activated carbon on the rice bran oil was analyzed, as well as the recovery of rice bran oil and oryzanol. The decolorization performance of caramel were the key factors affecting the decolorization effect of activated carbon on the refinement of grade four bran rice oil. The best technological conditions of CAC4 were as follows:adsorption temperature 50℃, adsorption time 30 min, one-time adding. Under these conditions, when the additive contents of activated carbon 30%, the color degree of refined rice bran oil was yellow 30 and red 3.0 (the width of color trough was 133.4 mm), which reached the first-grade rice bran oil standard. The content of oryzanol was 0.24%, the loss rate of oryzanol was 89.25%, and the loss rate of rice bran oil was 46.7%. When CAC4 was used to adsorbed pigment twice, the decolorization effect of rice oil was still obvious. The regeneration of activated carbon results showed that the adsorption performance of activated carbon was basically restored after regeneration, and it had good refining effect of rice bran oil. The color degree of rice oil refined byCAC4 after tertiary regeneration was yellow 30 and red 2.5. At the same time, the recovery of rice bran oil and oryzanol as well as the selective separation of pigment molecules could be realized during the regeneration process of activated carbon.

    A class of bio-based hybrid membranes named EC-g-MPA-ESO were prepared by the esterification reaction between the epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and the ethyl cellulose-rosin-based polymer (EC-g-MPA), synthesized by grafting rosin derivative maleopimaric acid (MPA) onto the ethyl cellulose (EC) backbone via esterification reaction. The chemical structure of EC-g-MPA was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer, by which have confirmed the successful preparation of EC-g-MPA. Then, TGA, DSC, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and tensile test were applied to investigate the thermal stability, curing properties, UV absorption properties, and mechanical properties of bio-based hybrid membrane EC-g-MPA-ESO with different ESO content. The results showed that the bio-based hybrid membrane exhibited UV absorption property. Compared with EC and EC-g-MPA, EC-g-MPA-ESO exhibited low glass transition temperature and excellent toughness. Mechanical test showed that when ESO content was 20% (based on the mass of EC-g-MPA), the blend film shows the best mechanical properties, and tensile strength reaches the maximum value of 12.07 MPa. Cyclic tensile test confirmed that the elastic restitution coefficient of EC-g-MPA-ESO increased with the increase of elongation. As the elongation reached 80%, the elastic restitution coefficient reached 54.6%, indicating that EC-g-MPA-ESO had good elastomer behavior and could be used as a thermoplastic elastomer. The hybrid membrane consists of cellulose matrix and rosin functional groups, and could find potential application in UV absorption and degradable plastic film.

    Essential oils of cinnamon leaves from different growth conditions were extracted by steam distillation method, respectively. The chemical constituents were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the relative content of each constituent was determined by area normalization. Their antimicrobial activities on three common pathogens were tested by filter paper method. The results indicated that the essential oil yield of cinnamon leaves were affected by tree age, planting density and slope aspect. Among them, tree age had the greatest impact. The highest yield of essential oil was obtained from 15-year-old sparse planting cinnamon leaves (No.3, 1.60%), the lowest was obtained from 20-year-old (No.7, 0.51%). The second was slope aspect, yield of essential oil obtained from 15-year-old south slope cinnamon leaves (No.5, 1.20%) was much higher than that obtained from 15-year-old north slope cinnamon leaves (No.6, 0.55%). The minimal impact was caused by planting density, yield of essential oil obtained form 15-year-old sparse planting cinnamon leaves (No.3, 1.60%) was higher than that obtained from 15-year-old close planting cinnamon leaves (No.4, 1.34%). The components and their GC contents of essential oil of cinnamon leaves from different growth conditions were different. A total of 28 chemical constituents were identified in the seven samples, among them, 15-year-old sparse planting (No.3) had the most kinds of essential oil components (21 kinds), 15-year-old dense plants (No.4) and 15-year-old south slope (No.5) contain the least kinds (both of 7 kinds). Trans-cinnamaldehyde was the most abundant component in the samples, of which the highest GC content was in No.4 (90.26%), and the lowest GC content was in 10-year-old (No.2, 67.73%). The common components were benzaldehyde, benzenepropanal, cis-cinnamaldehyde and trans-cinnamaldehyde. The order of inhibition effect on three experimental bacteria was Staphylococcus aureus > Escherichia coli > Pseudoinonal aeruginosa at the mass concentrations of 500 g/L. The diameters ranges of bacteriostasis circles were 22.57-39.63 mm, 27.58-34.31 mm and 16.39-23.89 mm, respectively. Among them, 20-year-old (No.7) had the strongest inhibition on S. aureus(39.63 mm), 15-year-old close planting (No.4) had the strongest inhibition on E. coli(34.31 mm) and 5-year-old (No.1) had the strongest inhibition on P. aeruginosa(23.89 mm).

    The tricyclic diterpene structure of rosin has unique properties. The fast-growing poplar was modified by using the refined rosin(RR), polymerized rosin(PR) and acrylic acid rosin(AAR) as madifier and ethanol as solvent to prepare the impregnating solution with the mass fraction of 20%. The fast-growing poplar was modified by impregnation method to obtain refined rosin modified wood (RRMW), polymerized rosin modified wood (PRMW), acrylic acid rosin modified wood (AARMW), and impregnated with absolute ethanol to obtain control wood (CW). The structure of the modified materials was characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The water resistance and mechanical properties of the modified materials were tested. The results showed that the C[FY=, 1]O absorption peak of the FT-IR for the modified material was significantly enhanced at 1691 cm-1. XRD analysis showed that the crystal plane diffraction peak had no obvious change. It was clearly observed in the SEM and CLSM images that the rosin was deposited in the wood cell lumen and infiltrated into the wood cell wall, which indicated that the modified rosin entered the wood cells, but had no effect on the structure of wood cellulose. The results of performance test showed that the properties of the three kinds of modified wood were improved, and the improvement of acrylic acid rosin modified wood was the most significant. The water resistance of AARMW was significantly enhanced, and the water uptake rate was 79.68%, while that of the control wood was 186.28% after 12 days of impregnation. The contact angle of AARMW was 88.78° in 180s, which was only 12% lower than 100.09° in 15s. However, the contract angle of control wood decreased from 44.34° at 15s to 0° at 180 s. In addition, compared with the control wood, the modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and compression strength (CS) of AARMW increased by 18.09%, 27.51% and 17.85% respectively, which showed that the mechanical properties of fast-growing poplar were obviously improved.

    Acrylic pimaric-sucrose ester was synthesized from acrylamicarboxylic acid and sucrose by esterification at high temperature under solvent-free conditions, which structure was characterized by IR, NMR and gel permeation chromatography and critical micelle concentration (CMC) was measured. The reorientation theory was used to analyze the adsorption behaviors of acrylic pimaric-sucrose ester surfactant at the air-water interface, including morphological change and adsorption capacity. The results showed that the acrylic pimaric-sucrose ester was successfully synthesized by the method, and the CMC value the synthesized ester was 2.2 g/L. With the increase of surfactant concentration, the solvent molar fraction at the air-water interface decreased, while the molar fraction of acrylic pimaric-sucrose ester increased. The adsorption of acrylic pimaric-sucrose ester at the air-water interface was divided into state 1 and state 2, and the adsorption capacity on the interface was calculated respectively, which was up to 1.9 mmol/m2 in state 2. As the surface pressure increased, the number of molecules in state 1 increased first and then decreased, while the number of molecules in state 2 dominated and continued to increase. The molar free energies (ΔG) of adsorption and micelles of acrylic pimaric-sucrose ester were -20.67 kJ/mol and -15.16 kJ/mol, respectively, indicating that acrylic pimaric-sucrose ester was preferentially adsorbed on the interface and formed micelles after reaching saturation.

    A series of Pt-Re-MCM-41 catalysts with different metal loading were prepared by step impregnation method with MCM-41 as support. The physical and chemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and NH3 temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD). The effect of Pt-Re-MCM-41 on the catalytic conversion of corncob pyrolysis products to furan compounds, including its repeated using and regeneration performance, were discussed. The experimental results showed that Pt and Re were uniformly dispersed on the catalyst surface, and the structure and properties of MCM-41 were not changed after loading, but the surface area, pore volume of the catalyst decreased and the average pore diameter increased after loading. The catalyst system had weak acid and medium strong acid at the same time. After Pt and Re loading, the content of the two acid sites on the catalyst surface increased. The type and number of compounds detected by GC×GC were, about 4-5 times than that detected by GC. The addition of the catalyst inhibited the production of alcohols, acids, nitrogen and sugars, and promoted the formation of ketones, furan and hydrocarbons, but had little effect on esters and phenols. The Pt-Re-MCM-41 catalyst could increase the GC content of furan compounds. The GC content could reach 33.12% with 1.0%Pt-1.0%Re-MCM-41 as catalyst and the catalytic temperature was 450℃ and increased by 12.11 percentage point compared with that without catalyst. Low catalytic temperature (≤ 450℃) was favorable for the formation of 2 (5H) -furanone and 2-furan methanol, and high catalytic temperature (≥ 500℃) was beneficial for furfural, 2-methylfuran and 3-furfural formation. The activity of the 1.0%Pt-1.0%Re-MCM-41 catalyst was reduced after three times, and the activity was basically recovered after calcination. Among them, the furan compound GC antent reached 32.6%.

    Poplar wood fiber (PWF) with different sizes was prepared from poplar residues of chemi-mechanical pulping and subsequent treatments (directly drying and solvent replacement). The PWF/epoxy resin (PWF/E51) composites were prepared by hot pressing molding method. The effects of fiber size on the mechanical properties of composites were investigated by the analysis of micro-morphology and size of the PWF as well as the micro-morphology of the impact fracture surface of the composites. The results showed that the fiber size had a significant effect on the mechanical properties of composites. With the increase of the ratio of length to diameter of PWF, the impact and flexural strength of PWF/epoxy resin composites were increased first and then decreased. Among them, the PWF with the ratio of length to diameter 14.8, which were prepared from the solvent replacement, showed the best reinforcement of the mechanical strength of the epoxy resin composites. And the impact strength and flexural strength were 7.1 kJ/m2 and 68.2 MPa, respectively. In addition, the mechanical strength of composites reinforced with the solvent replacement PWF was higher than that reinforced with the directly dried PWF.

    Nopinone is an important forest derivative derived from the oxidation reaction of β-pinene, which is of great significance for further deep processing and utilization of naloxone.In this paper, the optimization for the synthesis process of nopinone from β-pinene was studied.The effects of reaction time, reaction temperature, type and amount of catalyst, n(potassium permanganate):n(β-pinene), type of oxidant, solvent type on reaction conversion and selectivity were discussed.The results showed that when the reaction time was 3 h, the reaction temperature was 21-24℃, the catalyst was cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), the amount of catalyst was 0.20 g, the molar ratio of potassium permanganate to β-pinene was 3.2:1, using potassium permanganate as oxidant, acetone as solvent, the conversion rate of the synthesis reaction of nopinone is 99.5%, and the selectivity is 92.2%.
