Abstract

In this work, we aimed at adsorbing the oligo-sugars of prehydrolysis liquor on precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) to produce modified PCC. The results showed that the adsorptions of oligo-sugars, lignin and furfural were greater on porous PCC (PCC2) than on nano-sized PCC (PCC1) due to the larger surface area of PCC2. The adsorption reached its maximum in 5 h on PCC1, but it gradually increased on PCC2 due to the diffusion of oligo-sugars and lignin into the pores of PCC2. Also, the experimental isotherm and kinetic results were well fitted into Langmuir and pseudo-second order models, respectively. The adsorption was greater at a lower temperature (i.e. 40°C) and pH (i.e. 7). Alternatively, cationic poly acrylamide (CPAM) was added to the PHL/PCC system, which led to more promising results (than that to PHL/PCC system) with the maximum lignocelluloses adsorption of 0.36 g/g on PCC2, among which 0.22 g/g was oligo-sugars.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
