ABSTRACT
In this work, three kinds of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were facilely prepared and used in the pretreatment of corncob, including monocarboxylic acid/choline chloride, dicarboxylic acid/choline chloride and polyalcohol/choline chloride. The enhanced delignification and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency were found to be related to the acid amount, acid strength and the nature of hydrogen bond acceptors. The XRD, SEM and FT-IR results consistently indicated that the structures of corncob were disrupted by the removal of lignin and hemicellulose in the pretreatment process. In addition, the optimal pretreatment temperature and time were 90°C and 24h, respectively. This study explored the roles of various DESs combinations, pretreatment temperature and time to better utilize the DESs in the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.

A novel and stable spectra derivative Kalman filter UV spectrophotometric method was proposed, and applied to the simultaneous determination of ternary mixture of phenol, 2-chlorophenol and 2,4 dichlorophenol successfully. The reasons for using spectra derivative is that it contains more information including absorbance and its change with wavelength; the obviously different signals can be caught more conveniently at the position of absorbent overlap. The noise from experiment and the errors from transfer model can be solved by Kalman filter. Calibration set with 30 standard solutions (range of 1-10 mg x L(-1)) and 61 wavelengths (260-290 m, 0.5 nm slit width) was used for each sample. The exact value of absorbance derivative was obtained from regressed simulation for the extended 8th order polynomial, and the standard work matrix of derivative spectra Kalman filter was performed from partial least-squares method. The linear discrete Kalman filter was applied to the test. The recovery experiment showed that the derivative spectra Kalman filter simultaneous determination of mixture for phenol, 2-chlorophenol and 2,4 dichlorophenol is not only exact, but also stable.
ABSTRACT
An analysis method of nonlinear absorbance for binary composition mixture was proposed. The nonlinear absorbance was composed of the contributions from both themselves and the change in their contributions due to mixing, as well as the contribution from their interaction. The mixture of phenol and 2-chlorophenol was simultaneously determined using nonlinear Kalman filter UV spectrophotometry. UV absorption spectra were obtained with 32 standard solutions (range 1-15 mg x L(-1)) and 71 wavelengths(250-290 nm). Standard work matrix of extended Kalman filter was performed from partial least-squares method. The vectors function Jacobi matrix was obtained by linearization of Taylor series for nonlinear absorbance formula. The recovery experiment showed that the extended Kalman filter simultaneous determination of mixture of phenol and 2-chlorophenol that is not only exact, but also stable.
