摘要:Wheat straw is a kind of rich agricultural waste. Resource utilization of wheat straw has received widespread attention. Herein, a novel approach of the rapid reduction of Ag 2 O into Ag by wheat straw with the production of organic acids under mild hydrothermal conditions is reported. After parameter optimization, almost all Ag 2 O is converted to Ag at a mild reaction temperature of 150 ℃ and a reaction time of 60 min in sodium hydroxide solution. Meanwhile, wheat straw was converted to organic acid such as formic acid, lactic acid, and acetic acid. This offers a cost-effective approach for Ag recovery and resource utilization of biomass.
