Title: Effects of one-step alkaline and two-step alkaline/dilute acid and alkaline/steam explosion pretreatments on the structure of isolated pine lignin

Abstract

Biological valorization of biomass most often depends on the efficient reduction of plant cell wall recalcitrance and conversion of lignin – the most recalcitrant constituent – to fuels, chemicals and/or value-added substances. Lignin conversion to fuels and value-added chemicals requires a sound understanding of the structure of lignin before and after different pretreatments. In the current work, an effort has been made to compare the structural differences in isolated pine lignin after one- (alkaline) and two-step (alkaline/dilute acid and alkaline/steam explosion) pretreatments. Our results indicate removal of the low molecular weight fraction of lignin after an initial alkaline pretreatment. A subsequent dilute acid pretreatment resulted in the loss of lignin inter-unit linkages such as β-O-4’ aryl ethers. Furthermore, with a steam explosion pretreatment, lignin exhibited a competing condensation process leading to increased condensed lignin structures.

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

Lignin structural alterations in thermochemical pretreatments with limited delignification

Journal Article Pu, Yunqiao ; Hu, Fan ; Huang, Fang ; ... - BioEnergy Research

Lignocellulosic biomass has a complex and rigid cell wall structure that makes biomass recalcitrant to biological and chemical degradation. Among the three major structural biopolymers (i.e., cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) in plant cell walls, lignin is considered the most recalcitrant component and generally plays a negative role in the biochemical conversion of biomass to biofuels. The conversion of biomass to biofuels through a biochemical platform usually requires a pretreatment stage to reduce the recalcitrance. Pretreatment renders compositional and structural changes of biomass with these changes ultimately govern the efficiency of the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis.

Survey of Lignin-Structure Changes and Depolymerization during Ionic Liquid Pretreatment

Journal Article Dutta, Tanmoy ; Isern, Nancy G. ; Sun, Jian ; ... - ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

A detailed study of chemical changes in lignin structure during the ionic liquid (IL) pretreatment process is not only pivotal for understanding and overcoming biomass recalcitrance during IL pretreatment, but also is necessary for designing new routes for lignin valorization. Chemical changes in lignin were systematically studied as a function of pretreatment temperature, time and type of IL used. Kraft lignin was used as the lignin source and common pretreatment conditions were employed using three different ILs of varying chemical structure in terms of acidic or basic character. The chemical changes in the lignin structure due to IL pretreatment processesmore »« less

Alkaline Peroxide Delignification of Corn Stover

Journal Article Mittal, Ashutosh ; Katahira, Rui ; Donohoe, Bryon S. ; ... - ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

Selective biomass fractionation into carbohydrates and lignin is a key challenge in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. In the present study, alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) pretreatment was investigated to fractionate lignin from polysaccharides in corn stover (CS), with a particular emphasis on the fate of the lignin for subsequent valorization. The influence of peroxide loading on delignification during AHP pretreatment was examined over the range of 30-500 mg H2O2/g dry CS at 50 degrees C for 3 h. Mass balances were conducted on the solid and liquid fractions generated after pretreatment for each of the threemore »« less

Technoeconomic evaluation of recent process improvements in production of sugar and high-value lignin co-products via two-stage Cu-catalyzed alkaline-oxidative pretreatment

Journal Article Yuan, Zhaoyang ; Bals, Bryan D. ; Hegg, Eric L. ; ... - Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts

Abstract Background A lignocellulose-to-biofuel biorefinery process that enables multiple product streams is recognized as a promising strategy to improve the economics of this biorefinery and to accelerate technology commercialization. We recently identified an innovative pretreatment technology that enables of the production of sugars at high yields while simultaneously generating a high-quality lignin stream that has been demonstrated as both a promising renewable polyol replacement for polyurethane applications and is highly susceptible to depolymerization into monomers. This technology comprises a two-stage pretreatment approach that includes an alkaline pre-extraction followed by a metal-catalyzed alkaline-oxidative pretreatment. Our recent work demonstrated that H ₂more »« less
