Furfural is a valuable dehydration product of xylose. It has a broad spectrum of industrial applications. Various catalysts containing SO 3 H have been reported for the conversion of xylose into furfural. Nevertheless, the multi-step preparation is tedious, and the catalysts are usually fine powders that are difficult to separate from the suspension. Novel magnetic mesoporous carbonaceous materials (Fe/MC) were successfully prepared via facile self-assembly in a single step. A facile subsequent hydrothermal sulfonation of Fe/MC with concentrated H 2 SO 4 at 180°C gave mesoporous carbon bearing SO 3 H groups (SO 3 H@Fe/MC) without loss of the magnetic properties. Various techniques were employed to characterize the SO 3 H@Fe/MC as a candidate catalyst. It showed strong magnetism due to its Fe particles and possessed a 243 m 2  g −1 BET-specific surface area and a 90% mesopore volume. The sample contained 0.21 mmol g −1 of SO 3 H and gave a high conversion and an acceptable furfural yield and selectivity (100%, 45% and 45%, respectively) when used at 170°C for 1 h with γ-valerolactone as solvent. The catalyst was easily separated after the catalytic tests by using a magnet, confirming sufficient magneticstability. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Bio-derived and bioinspired sustainable advanced materials for emerging technologies (part 2)’.

In this work, a novel N-doped magnetic mesoporous carbon (NMC) composite (Fe3O4/NMC) was synthesized by a two-step process. First, NMC was prepared by a template method using a melamine formaldehyde resin as nitrogen and carbon sources, and then, Fe3O4 nanoparticles were loaded into the as-prepared NMC via in-situ coprecipitation process. The morphology, structure, and magnetic properties of Fe3O4/NMC were characterized and its adsorption properties were investigated. It can be found that Fe3O4/NMC with saturation magnetization of 20 emu · g−1 features a mesoporous structure, and its specific surface area reaches 513 m2 · g−1. These two excellent specificities are propitious to the adsorption and separation of Ag(I) from aqueous solution. The adsorption behavior of Fe3O4/NMC nanocomposite has been investigated by adsorption kinetics and isotherms adsorption analyses as well. The adsorption isotherm and the adsorption kinetics of Ag(I) onto Fe3O4/NMC agrees well with Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model, respectively. Moreover, the Fe3O4/NMC was easily to recovery by applied magnetic field, the adsorption capacity of Fe3O4/NMC was about 90.3% of the initial saturation adsorption capacity after five continuous uses.

This study reports the development of magnetic solid-phase extraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of ten trace amounts of emerging contaminants (fluoroquinolone antibiotics, parabens, anticonvulsants and β-blockers) in water systems. Magnetic mesoporous carbon/β-cyclodextrin–chitosan (MMPC/Cyc-Chit) was used as an adsorbent in dispersive magnetic solid-phase extraction (DMSPE). The magnetic solid-phase extraction method was optimized using central composite design. Under the optimum conditions, the limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 0.1 to 0.7 ng L−1, 0.5 to 1.1 ng L−1 and 0.2 to 0.8 ng L−1 for anticonvulsants and β-blockers, fluoroquinolone and parabens, respectively. Relatively good dynamic linear ranges were obtained for all the investigated analytes. The repeatability (n = 7) and reproducibility (n = 5) were less than 5%, while the enrichment factors ranged between 90 and 150. The feasibility of the method in real samples was assessed by analysis of river water, tap water and wastewater samples. The recoveries for the investigated analytes in the real samples ranged from 93.5 to 98.8%, with %RSDs under 4%.
