Cellulose is a rich natural polymer material, which has the characteristics of biodegradability, environmental friendliness and good biocompatibility. However, compared with conventional materials, there are some shortcomings in performance, such as intolerance corrosion, limited strength and so on. The chemical modification of cellulose not only retains its own excellent characteristics, but also introduces functional groups to endow it with specific properties. The chemical modification and utilization of cellulose has been the focus of research. In this paper, the latest advances in chemical modification of cellulose, such as esterification, etherification and grafting modification, are introduced. The research and application results of cellulose derivatives in food, wastewater treatment, medicine and papermaking in recent years are reviewed.

As the fossil resource supply situation become more serious and the increasingly serious environment problems, the development of new carbon resource utilization has become an urgent task. Plant cellulose is the most abundant natural resource, which is renewable, nontoxic and degradable, has been paid much attrition by researchers of many countries. This paper reviews recent progress in plant cellulose extract and modification, especially in chemical modification of cellulose derivatives. And the article described cellulose modification technology about pretreatment. The applications of modified cellulose in the field of environmental protection, pharmaceutical, paint and other industries introduced as well. Finally, the current research hotspots of cellulose modification technology were prospected.

The prevalence of antibiotics in water creates microbial resistance and has a negative impact on the ecosystem. Biomaterials such as spent tea leaves are rich in functional groups and are suitable for chemical modification for diverse applications. This research proposes the use of spent tea leaves of chamomile (CM), green tea (GT), and peppermint (PM) as structural scaffolds for the incorporation of carboxyl, sulfonyl, and thiol groups to improve the adsorption of Penicillin G (Pe). Adsorbents characterization reported a higher number of acidic functional groups, mainly in thiolated products. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed changes on the surfaces of the adsorbents due to reaction conditions, with a stronger effect on thiolated and sulfonated adsorbents. Elemental analysis by Energy dispersive X-ray spectrophotometry (EDS) corroborated the chemical modification by the presence of sulfur atoms and the increase in oxygen/carbon ratios. Batch experiments at different pH shows a strong pH-dependence with a high adsorption at pH 8 for all the adsorbents. The adsorption follows the trend CMs > GTs > PMs. Thiolation and sulfonation reported higher adsorptions, which is most likely due to the sulfur bridge formation, reaching adsorption percentages of 25%. These results create a new mindset in the use of spent tea leaves and their chemical modifications for the bioremediation of antibiotics.

A new type of pellet binder was prepared with oxalic acid as sodium silicate chemical modification agent in this paper, the compressive strength of which improved obviously. It improved from 0.6 KN/a to 2.4 KN/a, when the amount of oxalic acid is 8%. Meanwhile, carboxyl introduced at 390°C started carbonization decomposition, and pelletizing properties wouldn't be affected without new pellet impurity. The analysis shows that adding oxalic acid introduces carboxyl only in the binder, but doesn't generate new functional groups; Polymer layer formed by carboxyl adsorption on sodium silicate gel particle surface limits colloidal particle growing up, and plays roles of refining colloidal particle and improving the bonding strength.

To meet the more strict discharging standard, some combined processes have emerged to realize denitrification and phosphorus removal of wastewater more efficiently. Among them, AAO-BAF combined process was an efficient one. The AAO-BAF system was composed of AAO reactor and BAF. The AAO process was the main unit to complete phosphorus removal and denitrification. The BAF process, external nitrification unit, was mainly used to provide enough electron acceptor for denitrifying bacteria in AAO reactor, which could enhance the efficiency of denitrification of the whole system. So the system optimizing was essential to AAO-BAF combined process. In this paper, the research progress of AAO-BAF wastewater treatment system was summarized and some system optimizing methods were raised too.
