Revealing the Molecular Structural Transformation of Hardwood and Softwood in Dilute Acid Flowthrough Pretreatment

Journal Article Zhang, Libing ; Pu, Yunqiao ; Cort, John R. ; ... - ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

To better understand the intrinsic recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass, the main hurdle to its efficient deconstruction, the effects of dilute acid flowthrough pretreatment on the dissolution chemistry of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin for both hardwood (e.g. poplar wood) and softwood (e.g. lodgepole pine wood) were investigated at temperatures of 200 °C to 270 °C and a flow rate of 25 mL/minute with 0.05% (w/w) H2SO4. Results suggested that the softwood cellulose was more readily to be degraded into monomeric sugars than that of hardwood under same pretreatment conditions. However, while the hardwood lignin was completely removed into hydrolysate, ~30% ofmore »« less

The influence of the substrate (softwood/hardwood) on the pretreatment, fractionation, and hydrolysis steps of a bioconversion process

Conference Gregg, D ; Saddler, J N

The cost of enzyme production and consumption has been recognized as one of the most critical bottlenecks hindering the economic viability of a biomass to ethanol process. As a result there is a considerable amount of work under way to try to increase the specific activity of the cellulases by molecular manipulation, while other work has substantially increased the productivity yields of various cellulolytic fungi. One option that we and other groups have studied is to see how many times a cellulose preparation can be effectively recovered and recycled to hydrolyse several batches of substrate. Previously we had found thatmore »« less
Structural Transformation of Isolated Poplar and Switchgrass Lignins from Dilute Acid Pretreatment

Journal Article Sun, Qining ; Pu, Yunqiao ; Meng, Xianzhi ; ... - ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

A key step in conversion of cellulosic biomass into sustainable fuels and chemicals is thermochemical pretreatment to reduce plant cell wall recalcitrance. Obtaining an improved understanding of the fundamental chemistry of lignin, the most recalcitrant component of biomass, during pretreatment is critical to the continued development of renewable biofuel production. To examine the intrinsic chemistry of lignin during dilute acid pretreatment (DAP), lignin was isolated from poplar and switchgrass using a cellulolytic enzyme system and then treated under DAP conditions. These results highlight that lignin is subjected to depolymerization reactions within the first 2 min of dilute acid pretreatment andmore »« less

Effects of dilute acid and steam explosion pretreatments on the cellulose structure and kinetics of cellulosic fraction hydrolysis by dilute acids in lignocellulosic materials

Journal Article Carrasco, J E ; Saiz, Ma C ; Navarro, S A ; ...

This article analyzes the effects of dilute sulfuric acid and steam explosion pretreatments on the fractionation and kinetics of the dilute acid hydrolysis of the cellulosic fraction in different biomass substrates. A total of nine biomasses were analyzed: three hardwoods, two softwoods, and four types of herbaceous materials. Sigmacell, a purified microcrystalline cellulosic substrate, was also studied as a reference. It is concluded that steam explosion is a more efficient pretreatment for the fractionation of hardwood and softwood substrates with a low or moderate level of cellulose degradation. Under the experimental conditions, however, the steam explosion caused a dramatic degradationmore »« less

Flowthrough pretreatment with very dilute acid provides insights into high lignin contribution to biomass recalcitrance

Journal Article Bhagia, Samarthya ; Li, Hongjia ; Gao, Xiadi ; ... - Biotechnology for Biofuels

Background: Flowthrough pretreatment is capable of removing much higher quantities of hemicellulose and lignin from lignocellulosic biomass than batch pretreatment performed at otherwise similar conditions. Comparison of these two pretreatment configurations for sugar yields and lignin removal can provide insights into lignocellulosic biomass deconstruction. Therefore, we applied liquid hot water (LHW) and extremely dilute acid (EDA, 0.05%) flowthrough and batch pretreatments of poplar at two temperatures and the same pretreatment severity for the solids. Composition of solids, sugar mass distribution with pretreatment, sugar yields, and lignin removal from pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis were measured.Results: Flowthrough aqueous pretreatment of poplar showedmore »« less
