碱解聚对玉米秸秆的影响

以玉米秸秆为研究对象,氢氧化钠为解聚剂,研究了碱解聚前后玉米秸秆组份、表面形态、化学官能团和纤维结晶度的变化。结果表明:玉米秸秆中木质素的主要组成单体是H-木质素,解聚液中的酚类物质有4-羟基苯甲醛、香草醛、紫丁香醛、对香豆酸和阿魏酸。玉米秸秆经碱解聚,表面形态变得疏松而多孔,红外光谱下木质素的特征吸收峰消失,85%的木质素和52%的半纤维素被脱除,而纤维素的相对含量增加,结晶度增大。说明碱解聚有利于后续酶解和(或)其它生化方法的实施,以实现秸秆纤维的高值转化。     

不同方法预处理的玉米秸秆结构与酶解分析

在利用秸秆进行工业转化时,因为秸秆结构复杂,导致转化效率低,所以需对秸秆进行预处理,破坏秸秆复杂结构,提高转化效率。采用扫描电镜(SEM)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)和X射线衍射技术分析不同预处理方式对玉米秸秆微观结构的影响,并利用纤维素酶对不同预处理秸秆进行酶解,评价预处理效果。扫描电镜结果表明,不同预处理方式对秸秆表面形态和秸秆整体结构造成不同程度的破坏,其中NaOH预处理后的秸秆表面结构坍塌明显,表明木质纤维素结构被有效打破。利用傅里叶变换红外光谱对不同预处理方式的秸秆进行分析,其中1600和1510cm~(-1)为木质素的特征峰,NaOH预处理后的秸秆在此处的特征峰基本消失,表明NaOH预处理对秸秆木质素的去除效率比较明显。1744~1734 cm~(-1)为C=O伸缩振动特征峰,此峰的强度与木质素和半纤维素的含量有关,采用不同方法预处理后,此峰的吸收强度不同程度地减少,表明各种预处理方法不同程度地去除了秸秆的木质素和半纤维素。X-射线衍射分析表明,不同预处理后秸秆的结晶度均发生不同程度的改变,其中H_2SO_4预处理后秸秆的结晶度提高最大,达到43.4%。其中NaOH预处理秸秆后,用纤维素酶酶解60h,使其酶解产糖量达到33.32g/L。本研究分析了不同秸秆预处理方法的效果,为利用玉米秸秆生产生物化工产品提供了理论依据。

以玉米秸秆为研究对象,分别采用5%H2SO4和5%NaOH溶液对秸秆进行解聚处理,并对解聚前后秸秆结构、化学组成、热稳定性等进行分析和表征。结果表明,与未处理前相比,经酸或碱解聚处理后,秸秆纤维结晶度由51.8%分别提高到63.5%和67.0%,秸秆中大部分半纤维素和部分木质素组分被脱除,半纤维素由29.10%分别降至7.02%和6.86%,木质素由38.12%分别降至32.21%和16.52%,而纤维素则由31.54%分别升至60.54%和76.15%。经酸碱处理后,秸秆表面形态结构变得疏松,出现小孔和裂缝,降解温度达到350℃,热稳定性能增加。上述结果说明,稀酸或稀碱均对玉米秸秆分子结构有一定程度的解聚作用,但就解聚溶出木质素而言,稀碱的解聚溶出效果要优于稀酸的。     

组合催化剂WO3+Raney Ni上高效转化菊芋秸秆制乙二醇

采用商业WO₃和Raney Ni为组合催化剂, 以菊芋秸秆为反应原料制备了乙二醇. 菊芋秸秆中含纤维素51.6 wt%、半纤维素10.3 wt%、木质素17.2 wt%、灰分1.7 wt%和水溶性物质19.2 wt%. 木质素对纤维素和半纤维素的转化影响较小, 而水溶性物质的存在抑制了乙二醇的生成, 因此由未经过预处理的菊芋秸秆得到的乙二醇收率只有29.9%. 而经简单的热水预处理可除掉其中的大部分水溶物, 因而乙二醇收率提高到37.6%. 此外, 组合催化剂在经过热水预处理的菊芋秸秆的转化中表现出了更好的循环使用性能. 同时考察了反应温度和时间对菊芋秸秆转化的影响.

Optimization of oxalic acid pretreatment of moso bamboo for textile fiber using response surface methodology

In this article, samples of moso bamboo were pretreated with oxalic acid under various process conditions. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the pretreatment conditions. A three-variable quadratic polynomial regression model was obtained to predict the cellulose content, lignin removal and hemicellulose solubilization. The reliability of the model was also evaluated by the key elements obtained from analysis of variance of the coefficients. The surface response plot and contour plot of the effects were studied to further examine the interactions of the three factors and determine the optimum levels of each factor. Finally, the optimized conditions for oxalic acid pretreatment were temperature 178.4 °C, 3.68 % oxalic acid and 28.4 min, respectively. The maximum predicted value of cellulose content in the residue fraction was 64.98 %, along with 79.43 % lignin removal and 96.71 % hemicellulose solubilization after the oxalic acid pretreatment.     

Effect of pretreatment reagent and hydrogen peroxide on enzymatic hydrolysis of oak in percolation process

The effect of pretreatment reagent and hydrogen peroxide on enzymatic digestibility of oak was investigated to compare pretreatment performance. Pretreatment reagents used were ammonia, sulfuric acid, and water. These solutions were used without or in combination with hydrogen peroxide in the percolation reactor. The reaction was carried out at 170°C for the predetermined reaction time. Ammonia treatment showed the highest delignification but the lowest digestibility and hemicellulose removal among the three treatments. Acid treatment proved to be a very effective method in terms of hemicellulose recovery and cellulose digestibility. Hemicellulose recovery was 65–90% and digestibilities were >90% in the range of 0.01–0.2% acid concentration. In both treatments, hydrogen peroxide had some effect on digestibility but decomposed soluble sugars produced during pretreatment. Unlike ammonia and acid treatments, hydrogen peroxide in water treatment has a certain effect on hemicellulose recovery as well as delignification. At 1.6% hydrogen peroxide concentration, both hemicellulose recovery and digestibility were about 90%, which were almost the same as those of 0.2% sulfuric acid treatment. Also, digestibility was investigated as a function of hemicellulose removal or delignification. It was found that digestibility was more directly related to hemicellulose removal rather than delignification.     

Effect of sulfuric and phosphoric acid pretreatments on enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover

The pretreatment of corn stover with H₂SO₄ and H₃PO₄ was investigated. Pretreatments were carried out from 30 to 120 min in a batch reactor at 121°C, with acid concentrations ranging from 0 to 2% (w/v) at a solid concentration of 5% (w/v). Pretreated corn stover was washed with distilled water until the filtrate was adjusted to pH 7.0, followed by surfactant swelling of the cellulosic fraction in a 0–10% (w/v) solution of Tween-80 at room temperature for 12 h. The dilute acid treatment proved to be a very effective method in terms of hemicellulose recovery and cellulose digetibility. Hemicellulose recovery was 62–90%, and enzymatic digestibility of the cellulose that remained in the solid was >80% with 2% (w/v) acid. In all cases studied, the performance of H₂SO₄ pretreatment (hemicellulose recovery and cellulose digestibility) was significantly better than obtained with H₃PO₄. Enzymatic hydrolysis was more effective using surfactant than without it, producing 10–20% more sugar. Furthermore, digestibility was investigated as a function of hemicellulose removal. It was found that digestibility was more directly related to hemicellulose removal than to delignification.     

Thermal and group analysis of peat

Thermal analysis was carried out on peat and its residues after successive separation of water-soluble substances (6.8%), bitumens (3.9%), hemicellulose (5.9%), humic acids (33.4%) and cellulose (21.5%). The primary peat gives two exothermal effects, at 290° and at 275°. After humic acid and cellulose separation, respectively, the second effect decreases and then disappears completely.     

Xylan hydrolysis in zinc chloride solution

Xylan is the major component of hemicellulose, which consists of up to one-third of the lignocellulosic biomass. When the zinc chloride solution was used as a pretreatment agent to facilitate cellulose hydrolysis, hemicellulose was hydrolyzed during the pretreatment stage. In this study, xylan was used as a model to study the hydrolysis of hemicellulose in zinc chloride solution. The degradation of xylose that is released from xylan was reduced by the formation of zinc-xylose complex. The xylose yield was >90% (w/w) at 70°C. The yield and rate of hydrolysis were a function of temperature and the concentration of zinc chloride. The ratio of zinc chloride can be decreased from 9 to 1.3 (w/w). At this ratio, 76% of xylose yield was obtained. When wheat straw was pretreated with a concentrated zinc chloride solution, the hemicellulose hydrolysate contained only xylose and trace amounts of arabinose and oligosaccharides. With this approach, the hemicellulose hydrolysate can be separated from cellulose residue, which would be hydrolyzed subsequently to glucose by acid or enzymes to produce glucose. This production scheme provided a method to produce glucose and xylose in different streams, which can be fermented in separated fermenters.     

Influence of the interaction of components on the pyrolysis behavior of biomass

There has been much interest in the utilization of biomass-derived fuels as substitutes for fossil fuels in meeting renewable energy requirements to reduce CO₂ emissions. In this study, the pyrolysis characteristics of biomass have been investigated using both a thermogravimetric analyzer coupled with a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (TG-FTIR) and an experimental pyrolyzer. Experiments have been conducted with the three major components of biomass, i.e. hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin, and with four mixed biomass samples comprising different proportions of these. Product distributions in terms of char, bio-oil, and permanent gas are given, and the compositions of the bio-oil and gaseous products have been analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography (GC). The TG results show that the thermal decomposition of levoglucosan is extended over a wider temperature range according to the interaction of hemicellulose or lignin upon the pyrolysis of cellulose; the formation of 2-furfural and acetic acid is enhanced by the presence of cellulose and lignin in the range 350-500 °C; and the amount of phenol, 2,6-dimethoxy is enhanced by the integrated influence of cellulose and hemicellulose. The components do not act independently during pyrolysis; the experimental results have shown that the interaction of cellulose and hemicellulose strongly promotes the formation of 2, 5-diethoxytetrahydrofuran and inhibits the formation of altrose and levoglucosan, while the presence of cellulose enhances the formation of hemicellulose-derived acetic acid and 2-furfural. Pyrolysis characteristics of biomass cannot be predicted through its composition in the main components.     

Ionic liquid extraction method for upgrading eucalyptus kraft pulp to high purity dissolving pulp

High purity cellulose from wood is an important raw material for many applications such as cellulosic fibers, films or the manufacture of various cellulose acetate products. Hitherto, multi-step refining processes are needed for an efficient hemicellulose removal, most of them suffering from severe cellulose losses. Recently, a novel method for producing high purity cellulose from bleached paper grade birch kraft pulp was presented. In this so called IONCELL process, hemicelluloses are extracted by an ionic liquid–water mixture and both fractions can be recovered without yield losses or polymer degradation. Herein, it is demonstrated that bleached Eucalyptus urograndis kraft pulp can be refined to high purity acetate grade pulp via the IONCELL process. The hemicellulose content could be reduced from initial 16.6 to 2.4 wt% while persevering the cellulose I crystal form by using an optimized 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate-water mixture as the extraction medium. The degree of polymerization was then reduced by a sulfuric acid treatment for subsequent acetylation of the pulp, resulting in a final hemicellulose content of 2.2 wt%. When pre-treating the pulp enzymatically with endoxylanase, the final hemicellulose content could be reduced even to 1.7 wt%. For comparison, the eucalyptus kraft pulp was also subjected to cold caustic extraction and the same subsequent acid treatment which led to 3.9 wt% of residual hemicelluloses. The performance in acetylation of all produced pulps was tested and compared to commercial acetate grade pulp. The endoxylanase-IONCELL-treated pulp showed superior properties. Thus, an ecologically and economically efficient alternative for the production of highest value cellulose pulp is presented.
