The invention relates to a process for treating a lignocellulosic material, preferably wood, comprising the following steps: (1) soaking of the material with organic fluid in order to dissolve at least 40% and at most 85%, in weight %, of the lignin of the material; (2) washing with organic fluid so as to discharge the dissolved lignin; (3) filling with a filling compound; and (4) finishing, so as to obtain a composite formed of a three-dimensional network of transformed filling compound incorporated into a cellulose and lignin network. The invention also relates to a composite structure able to be obtained in this way, and to any part comprising at least one such structure.

Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems can use feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials and/or starchy or sugary materials, to produce ethanol and/or butanol, e.g., by fermentation.

The present invention provides a powder-assembled composite micro-nano fiber and a method for preparing the powder-assembled composite micro-nano fiber. The method includes the following steps: (1) preparing two-dimensional cellulose from a cellulose-raw-material; (2) dispersing the two-dimensional cellulose and a powder material in a solvent to form a mixed suspension; and (3) performing freeze drying on the mixed suspension to obtain the powder-assembled composite micro-nano fiber, wherein a temperature difference between two ends in a vertical direction of the mixed suspension is controlled to be 10-100? C. in a freezing process of the freeze drying. In the present invention, a new non-destructive processing path from primary particles to macro applications is constructed, and rich material platforms and infinite possibilities are provided for basic studies and technical applications. The technology will play a huge role in energy, medical material, environment, protection, catalysis, photoelectricity, food engineering, daily necessity and other vast fields.
