Lignin was extracted from bagasse by sequential extraction method. The crude lignin was divided into three fractions by molecular weight and chemical functionality (Lignin fractions L1 and L2 were recovered with diethyl ether and methanol solubility respectively, with the L3 part remaining), and the properties of each were analyzed before being applied to Pb(II) adsorption. The results indicated that the L2 fraction has the largest molecular weight due to self-condensation. The weight of the aliphatic hydroxyl group of L2 is 4.63 times of L1 and 1.65 times of crude lignin. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis show that the surface of L2 and L3 are porous with surface areas of 2.8304 m2/g and 10.7530 m2/g, respectively. The characteristics of structure and morphology for the L2 and L3 fractions display better adsorption property than crude lignin and L1 fractions, with adsorption capacities of approximately 6.46 mg/g and 7.56 mg/g. This research confirmed that each lignin fraction possessed different chemical and physical characteristics, and the L2 fraction has good solubility and adsorption properties, which provide the basis for lignin modification applied to lead Pb(II) adsorption.

As a kind of ideal porous absorbents with tunable porosity, large surface areas, and hydrophobicity, conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have recently received extensive attention in oil/organic solvent-water separation. However, reports on the application of CMPs in adsorption of erythromycin (ERY) from water are very few. In this work, the adsorption of ERY by three kinds of CMPs was firstly studied. It was observed that all the CMPs extracted ERY quickly from water. The adsorption kinetics of ERY on the three CMPs was well expressed by the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption process was found to be mainly controlled by film diffusion. Increasing surface area of the CMPs resulted in greater extent of adsorption. This work may provide fundamental guidance for removal of antibiotics by CMPs.

Iron clathrochelate complexes were used for the preparation of microporous polymers. The networks display permanent porosity with apparent Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface areas of up to SABET = 593 m2 g−1, and they are not susceptible to hydrolytic degradation.

Original and/or functionalized nanosilica particles with a quoted specific surface area of 100, 300, and 600 m2/g, respectively, were used to investigate the influence of specific surface areas of nanosilica particles on ultradrawing and ultimate tensile properties of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), UHMWPE/nanosilica, and UHMWPE/functionalized nanosilica fibers. The specific surface areas of well-dispersed functionalized nanosilica particles in UHMWPE/functionalized nanosilica fibers can positively affect their ultradrawing, orientation, ultimate tensile properties, and “micro-fibrils” morphologies. Excellent orientation and ultimate tensile properties of UHMWPE/nanofiller fibers can be prepared by ultradrawing the UHMWPE/functionalized nanosilica as-prepared fibers with optimal contents of the best prepared functionalized nanosilica particles well dispersing in the as-prepared fibers. The ultimate tensile strength value of the best prepared UHMWPE/functionalized nanosilica drawn fiber reaches 7.6 GPa, which is about 2.3 times of those of the best prepared UHMWPE drawn fiber without addition of any nanofiller. Specific surface area, morphological and Fourier transform infrared analyses of original and functionalized nanosilica particles, and/or investigations of thermal, orientation factor, and ultimate tensile properties of as-prepared and/or drawn UHMWPE/functionalized nanosilica fibers were performed to understand the above improved ultradrawing and ultimate tensile properties of the UHMWPE/functionalized nanosilica as-prepared and/or drawn fibers.

A new design strategy is disclosed to synthesize conjugated microporous polymers using a Cu-catalyzed [4 + 2] cyclobenzannulation reaction. The polymers reveal BET surface areas up to 794 m2 g−1 and promising uptake of iodine and methylene blue.
