Production of xylooligosaccharides from Camellia oleifera Abel fruit shell using a shell-based solid acid catalyst

Biomass derived sulfonated carbon catalysts: efficient catalysts for green chemistry

“…Furthermore, the sulfonated carbon catalyst demonstrated its versatility by obtaining xylooligosaccharides from various biomass wastes such as corn straw, sugarcane bagasse, corn cob, and poplar. 113 This showcases its broad applicability. In summary, this process accomplishes the comprehensive utilization of Camellia oleifera fruit shells, recycles waste from the production process of Camellia oleifera seed oil, and provides a viable approach for the green recycling of other biomass resources.…”

“…108,110,112 Additionally, the use of BDSCCs for the direct hydrolysis of biomass resources can establish a green recycling scheme, enabling the full reuse of biomass resources. 113 The sulfonated carbon catalyst derived from Camellia oleifera shell, with a sulfonic acid group content of 1.08 mmol g −1 , successfully hydrolyzed Camellia oleifera shell to produce xylooligosaccharides, achieving a yield of 51.4% (Fig. 5c).…”

“…In summary, the utilization of BDSCCs offers a pathway to efficient saccharification processes, guiding the use of lignocellulosic biomass towards environmentally friendly and comprehensive applications (Fig. 7b) 107,112,113 BDSCCs derived from biomass waste can convert various biomass feedstocks into reducing sugars, contributing to green chemistry initiatives. Developing rational processes for hydrolysis and saccharification using BDSCCs can potentially lead to zero waste generation in saccharification processes.…”

Activated carbon from Camellia oleifera shells for adsorption of Y(iii): experimental and DFT studies

“…Camellia oleifera is widely planted and is one of the four major woody oil tree species in the world. 23,24 The yield of Camellia oleifera fruit husks is high, but the utilization rate is low. 25 According to statistics, over 3.0 × 10 6 tons of COS are discarded or burned per year, 26 which constitutes a waste of resources and environmental pollution.…”

In Situ Modification of Activated Carbon Made from Camellia oleifera Shell with Na2EDTA for Enhanced La3+ Recovery

“…In 2020, China produced approximately 3.68 million tons of COS [22]. The utilization rate of COS is low, and it is mainly used as a solid fuel [22] or dumped improperly [23,24], which has the potential to impact the environment. COS primarily consists of cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose [25,26], and can serve as the perfect raw material for obtaining activated carbon [27].…”
