The treatment of dyeing and printing wastewater from the textile industry by oxidation was studied. The reaction was carried out in a two-litre high pressure reactor. In order to promote the oxidation of organic pollutants present in the wastewater, experiments were conducted using various catalysts including metal salts, metal oxides, and porous alumina supported metals. All catalysts tested were able to enhance the conversion of organic compounds in wastewater, shorten the reaction time, and lower the reaction temperature. The alumina supported catalyst has an advantage over other catalysts in that it can be easily separated from the treated wastewater by filtration and recycled. The conditions in preparing the catalyst supported by porous alumina were experimentally optimised.

Lignocellulosic biomass is a complex biopolymer that is primary composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The presence of cellulose in biomass is able to depolymerise into nanodimension biomaterial, with exceptional mechanical properties for biocomposites, pharmaceutical carriers, and electronic substrate’s application. However, the entangled biomass ultrastructure consists of inherent properties, such as strong lignin layers, low cellulose accessibility to chemicals, and high cellulose crystallinity, which inhibit the digestibility of the biomass for cellulose extraction. This situation offers both challenges and promises for the biomass biorefinery development to utilize the cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass. Thus, multistep biorefinery processes are necessary to ensure the deconstruction of noncellulosic content in lignocellulosic biomass, while maintaining cellulose product for further hydrolysis into nanocellulose material. In this review, we discuss the molecular structure basis for biomass recalcitrance, reengineering process of lignocellulosic biomass into nanocellulose via chemical, and novel catalytic approaches. Furthermore, review on catalyst design to overcome key barriers regarding the natural resistance of biomass will be presented herein.
