The application discloses a high-whiteness MGO substrate, a preparation method thereof and a decorative board having the substrate. The high-whiteness MGO substrate includes a surface layer and a substrate, wherein the substrate is prepared from a forming agent, a lightweight filler, a modifier and water in parts by mass as follows: 40-49 parts of light burned magnesium oxide powder, 18-25 parts of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 16-25 parts of a polyvinyl alcohol solution, 16-20 parts of a plant powder, and 0.5-2 parts of a modifier; the modifier being obtained by mixing citric acid, phosphoric acid, and sodium sulfate in a mass ratio of 10:3:6.

The invention relates to a floor or wall panel and a method for producing such panel. The panel according to the invention comprises a core layer comprising at least one composite material, said composite material comprising at least one inorganic material, and at least one polymeric binder, wherein a weight ratio of the inorganic material to the polymeric binder is at least 2.4:1. The core layer further comprises an additive which is configured to improve the properties of the core layer.

A complex non-naturally occurring phenolic compounds mixtures or engineered phenolic compounds compositions, from catalytic degradation of lignocellulose, and the use thereof.

An aquatic plant biomass-based decomposable and antibacterial plastic masterbatch composition contains: environmental biodegradable polymer materials, aquatic plant fiber materials, natural decomposable polymer, antibacterial materials, mineral fillers, Bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DOA), 1,1,1-Tris Methylolpropane 1,1,1-Trimethylolpropane (TMP), and silane coupling agent. Thereby, low cost, excellent mechanical properties, release of far infrared rays and antibacterial effect are achieved.

The application relates to a method and apparatus for producing a solid foam continuously. A homogeneous suspension is formed from a raw material in which the suspension comprises a solidifying agent, and a foam mixture which comprises bubbles is formed by mixing air bubbles into the suspension. The foam mixture is injected via at least one nozzle to form a foam pattern and the foam pattern is laid on a moving surface and the foam mixture of the foam pattern is solidified in order to form a solid foam such that the bubbles of the foam mixture shrink in off-length directions to form the shaped bubbles. Further, the application relates to the product and the use of the method.

The disclosure provides eco-friendly synthetic wood containing coffee grounds, which uses, as main components, coffee grounds and waste gypsum, which are waste resources, and PETG recycled from waste plastic, thereby contributing to protection of the environment, and which enhances formability, post-processability, and a weather resistance of the synthetic wood by reducing a ratio of shrinking-swelling and a water absorption factor of the synthetic wood, and a manufacturing method thereof.

The present relates to a process for the depolymerization of lignin using chemicals recoverable by the soda or kraft mill recovery cycles. The process involves the use of sodium hydroxide or white liquor to depolymerize lignin in black liquor or other lignins (e.g. hydrolysis lignin, kraft lignin) by conducting the reaction at 170-250° C. for up to 3 hours in the presence or absence of a co-solvent and a capping agent. The depolymerized lignin is then obtained by acidifying the reaction products to a low pH to precipitate the de-polymerized lignin, followed by particle coagulation, cake filtration and washing with acid and water to obtain a purified depolymerized lignin product.

A method for functionalizing the surface of a substrate, performed in a supercritical fluid medium, may include: (i) providing a substrate having labile hydrogen functions on the surface; (ii) bringing the substrate into contact, in a supercritical fluid, with at least one organic molecule carrying at least one blocked isocyanate function which can be activated by heating; and (iii) subjecting the whole to a temperature sufficient to bring about the release of the blocked isocyanate function carried by the molecule, and the covalent grafting of the molecule by reaction of the isocyanate function with a labile hydrogen function on the surface of the substrate.
