Measurement of rheological properties of corn stover suspensions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Corn stover is currently being evaluated as a feedstock for ethanol production. The corn stover suspensions fed to reactors
typically range between 10 and 40% solids. To simulate and design bioreactors for processing highly loaded corn stover suspensions,
the rheologic properties of the suspension must be measured. In systems with suspended solids, rheologic measurements are
difficult to perform owing to settling in the measurement devices. In this study, viscosities of corn stover suspensions were
measured using a helical ribbon impeller viscometer. A calibration procedure is required for the impeller method in order
to obtain the shear rate constant, k, which is dependent on the geometry of the measurement system. The corn stover suspensions are described using a power law
flow model. 相似文献

Corn stover, the above-ground, non-grain portion of the crop, is a large, currently available source of biomass that potentially
could be collected as a biofuels feedstock. Biomass conversion process economics are directly affected by the overall biochemical
conversion yield, which is assumed to be proportional to the carbohydrate content of the feedstock materials used in the process.
Variability in the feedstock carbohydrate levels affects the maximum theoretical biofuels yield and may influence the optimum
pretreatment or saccharification conditions. The aim of this study is to assess the extent to which commercial hybrid corn
stover composition varies and begin to partition the variation among genetic, environmental, or annual influences. A rapid
compositional analysis method using near-infrared spectroscopy/partial least squares multivariate modeling (NIR/PLS) was used
to evaluate compositional variation among 508 commercial hybrid corn stover samples collected from 47 sites in eight Corn
Belt states after the 2001, 2002, and 2003 harvests. The major components of the corn stover, reported as average (standard
deviation) % dry weight, whole biomass basis, were glucan 31.9 (2.0), xylan 18.9 (1.3), solubles composite 17.9 (4.1), and
lignin (corrected for protein) 13.3 (1.1). We observed wide variability in the major corn stover components. Much of the variation
observed in the structural components (on a whole biomass basis) is due to the large variation found in the soluble components.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the harvest year had the strongest effect on corn stover compositional variation,
followed by location and then variety. The NIR/PLS rapid analysis method used here is well suited to testing large numbers
of samples, as tested in this study, and will support feedstock improvement and biofuels process research. 相似文献

Dimethylsulfoxide-solubilized polysaccharides from delignified corn stover and aspen were characterized. The biomass was delignified
by two different techniques; a standard acid chlorite and a pulp and paper QPD technique comprising chelation (Q), peroxide
(P), and acid-chlorite (D). Major polysaccharides in all fractions were diversely substituted xylan. Xylan acetylation was
intact after chlorite delignification and, as expected, xylan from QPD-delignified fraction was de-acetylated by the alkaline
peroxide step. The study of DMSO-extractable xylans from chlorite-delignified biomass revealed major differences in native
acetylation patterns between corn stover and aspen xylan. Xylan from cell walls of corn stover contains 2-O- and 3-O-mono-acetylated xylan and [MeGlcA-α-(1 → 2)][3-OAc]-xylp units. In addition, aspen xylan also contains 2,3-di-O-acetylated xylose. 1,4-β-d-xylp residues substituted with MeGlcA at O-2 position are absent in chlorite-delignified aspen xylan. Sugar composition in accord with NMR-spectroscopic data indicated
that corn stover xylan is arabinosylated while aspen xylan is not. We have shown that corn stover xylan has similar structure
with xylans from other plants of Poales order. No evidence was found to indicate the presence of 1,4-β-d-[MeGlcA-α-(1 → 2)][Ara-α-(1 → 3)]-xylp in corn stover xylan fractions. 相似文献

Effects of temperature and moisture on dilute-acid steam explosion pretreatment of corn stover and cellulase enzyme digestibility 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Corn stover is emerging as a viable feedstock for producing bioethanol from renewable resources. Dilute-acid pretreatment
of corn stover can solubilize a significant portion of the hemicellulosic component and enhance the enzymatic digestibility
of the remaining cellulose for fermentation into ethanol. In this study, dilute H2SO4 pretreatment of corn stover was performed in a steam explosion reactor at 160°C, 180°C, and 190°C, approx 1 wt% H2SO4, and 70-s to 840-s residence times. The combined severity (Log10 [R
o
] - pH), an expression relating pH, temperature, and residence time of pretreatment, ranged from 1.8 to 2.4. Soluble xylose
yields varied from 63 to 77% of theoretical from pretreatments of corn stover at 160 and 180°C. However, yields >90% of theoretical
were found with dilute-acid pretreatments at 190°C. A narrower range of higher combined severities was required for pretreatment
to obtain high soluble xylose yields when the moisture content of the acid-impregnated feedstock was increased from 55 to
63 wt%. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of washed solids from corn stover pretreated at 190°C, using
an enzyme loading of 15 filter paper units (FPU)/g of cellulose, gave ethanol yields in excess of 85%. Similar SSF ethanol
yields were found using washed solid residues from 160 and 180°C pretreatments at similar combined severities but required
a higher enzyme loading of approx 25 FPU/g of cellulose. 相似文献

Corn stover, a well-known example of lignocellulosic biomass, is a potential renewable feed for bioethanol production. Dilute
sulfuric acid pretreatment removes hemicellulose and makes the cellulose more susceptible to bacterial digestion. The rheologic
properties of corn stover pretreated in such a manner were studied. The Power Law parameters were sensitive to corn stover
suspension concentration becoming more non-Newtonian with slope n, ranging from 0.92 to 0.05 between 5 and 30% solids. The Casson and the Power Law models described the experimental data
with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.90 to 0.99 and 0.85 to 0.99, respectively. The yield stress predicted by direct
data extrapolation and by the Herschel-Bulkley model was similar for each concentration of corn stover tested. 相似文献

Corn stover is a domestic feedstock that has potential to produce significant quantities of fuel ethanol and other bioenergy
and biobased products. However, comprehensive yield and carbon mass balance information and validated kinetic models for dilute-sulfuric
acid (H2SO4) pretreatment of corn stover have not been available. This has hindered the estimation of process economics and also limited
the ability to perform technoeconomic modeling to guide research. To better characterize pretreatment and assess its kinetics,
we pretreated corn stover in a continuous 1 t/d reactor. Corn stover was pretreated at 20% (w/w) solids concentration over
a range of conditions encompassing residence times of 3–12 min, temperatures of 165–195°C, and H2SO4 concentrations of 0.5–1.4% (w/w). Xylan conversion yield and carbon mass balance data were collected at each run condition.
Performance results were used to estimate kinetic model parameters assuming biphasic hemicellulose hydrolysis and a hydrolysis
mechanism incorporating formation of intermediate xylo-oligomers. In addition, some of the pretreated solids were tested in
a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process to measure the reactivity of their cellulose component to enzymatic
digestion by cellulase enzymes. Monomeric xylose yields of 69–71% and total xylose yields (monomers and oligomers) of 70–77%
were achieved with performance level depending on pretreatment severity. Cellulose conversion yields in SSF of 80–87% were
obtained for some of the most digestible pretreated solids. 相似文献

A novel method of producing food-grade xylooligosaccharides from corn stover and corn cobs was investigated. The process starts
with pretreatment of feedstock in aqueous ammonia, which results delignified and xylan-rich substrate. The pretreated substrates
are subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis of xylan using endoxylanase for production of xylooligosaccharides. The conventional
enzyme-based method involves extraction of xylan with a strong alkaline solution to form a liquid intermediate containing
soluble xylan. This intermediate is heavily contaminated with various extraneous components. A costly purification step is
therefore required before enzymatic hydrolysis. In the present method, xylan is obtained in solid form after pretreatment.
Water-washing is all that is required for enzymatic hydrolysis of this material. The complex step of purifying soluble xylan
from contaminant is essentially eliminated.
Refining of xylooligosaccharides to food-grade is accomplished by charcoal adsorption followed by ethanol elution. Xylanlytic
hydrolysis of the pretreated corn stover yielded glucan-rich residue that is easily digestible by cellulase enzyme. The digestibility
of the residue reached 86% with enzyme loading of 10 filter paper units/g-glucan. As a feedstock for xylooligosaccharides
production, corn cobs are superior to corn stover because of high xylan content and high packing density. The high packing
density of corn cobs reduces water input and eventually raises the product concentration. 相似文献

Pretreatment of corn stover by soaking in aqueous ammonia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Soaking in aqueous ammonia (SAA) was investigated as a pretreatment method for corn stover. In this method, the feedstock
was soaked in aqueous ammonia over an extended period (10–60 d) at room temperature. It was done without agitation at atmospheric
pressure. SAA treatment removed 55–74% of the lignin, but retained nearly 100% of the glucan and 85% of the xylan. The xylan
remaining in the corn stover after SAA treatment was hydrolyzed along with the glucan by xylanase present in the Spezyme CP
enzyme. In the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) test of SAA-treated corn stover, using S. cerevisiae (D5A), an ethanol yield of 73% of theoretical maximum was obtained on the basis of the glucan content in the treated corn stover.
The accumulation of xylose in the SSF appears to inhibit the cellulase activity on glucan hydrolysis, which limits the yield
of ethanol. In the simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) test, using recombinant E. coli (KO11), both the glucan and xylose were effectively utilized, resulting in on overall ethanol yield of 77% based on the glucan
and xylan content of the substrate. When the SSCF process is used, the fact that the xylan fraction is retained during pretreatment
is a desirable feature since the overall bioconversion can be carried out in a single step without separate recovery of xylose
from the pretreatment liquid. 相似文献

As biorefining conversion technologies become commercial, feedstock availability, supply system logistics, and biomass material
attributes are emerging as major barriers to the availability of corn stover for biorefining. While systems do exist to supply
corn stover as feedstock to biorefining facilities, stover material attributes affecting physical deconstruction, such as
densification and post-harvest material stability, challenge the cost-effectiveness of present-day feedstock logistics systems.
In addition, the material characteristics of corn stover create barriers with any supply system design in terms of equipment
capacity/efficiency, dry matter loss, and capital use efficiency. However, analysis of a conventional large square bale corn
stover feedstock supply system concludes that (1) where other agronomic factors are not limiting, corn stover can be accessed
and supplied to a biorefinery using existing bale-based technologies, (2) technologies and new supply system designs are necessary
to overcome biomass bulk density and moisture material property challenges, and (3) major opportunities to improve conventional
bale biomass feedstock supply systems include improvements in equipment efficiency and capacity and reducing biomass losses
in harvesting, collection, and storage. Finally, the backbone of an effective stover supply system design is the optimization
of intended and minimization of unintended material property changes as the corn stover passes through the individual supply
system processes from the field to the biorefinery conversion processes.

Mixing fresh silage in water resulted in partial segregation of grain from stover. Grain concentration was 75% in the sunk
material when silage was relatively dry (64% moisture content [MC]) and 41% when silage was relatively wet (74% MC). Partial
drying to remove 20 percentage units of moisture prior to water separation increased grain concentration to 92%, and complete
drying increased grain concentration to 99%. Sieving without drying followed by water separation resulted in a grain concentration
of 79%. A byproduct of water separation is a large amount of soluble and deposited fine particles in the effluent: 18% of
original dry matter after one separation, and between 21 and 26% after eight separations. In an industrial setting, hydrodynamic
separation of silage with minimal pretreatment could provide a feedstock with a high concentration of grain (75–80%). In a
laboratory setting, hydrodynamic separation with prior oven drying could provide a method to separate grain from stover in
corn silage by reaching a grain concentration higher than 99%.

The relative toxicity of the combined nonxylose components in prehydrolysates derived from three different lignocellulosic
biomass feedstocks was determined. One woody (poplar) and two herbaceous (corn stover and switchgrass) feedstocks were dilute-acid
pretreated under temperature and acid conditions chosen to optimize xylose recovery in the liquid prehydrolysate; xylose yields
averaged 96,89,and 87% of theoretical for switchgrass,corn stover,and poplar,respectively. Prehydrolysates from each feedstock
were neutralized,adjusted to equivalent xylose concentrations,and bioassayed for toxicity,using a standardized fermentation
protocol withPichia stipitis NRRL 11545. Full time-courses for ethanol production (30-60 h) clearly illustrate the distinct inhibitory effects of prehydrolysates
from different feedstocks. The relative toxicity of the prehydrolysates,ranked in order of decreasing toxicity,is poplar-derived
prehydrolysates > switchgrass-derived prehydrolysates > corn stover-derived prehydrolysates. The inhibition of ethanol production
appeared to be the result of a general slowdown of yeast metabolism,rather than the result of the production of alternative,
nonethanol end products. Ethanol yields averaged 74,83,and 88% of control values for poplar,switchgrass,and corn stover prehydrolysates,
respectively. Volumetric ethanol productivities (g ethanol L/h) averaged 32,70,and 102% of control values for poplar,switchgrass,and
corn stover prehydrolysates,respectively. Ethanol productivities correlated closely with acetate concentrations in the prehydrolysates;
however, regression lines correlating acetate concentrations and ethanol productivities were found to be feedstock-dependent.

Ammonia fiber explosion treatment of corn stover 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Optimizing process conditions and parameters such as ammonia loading, moisture content of biomass, temperature, and residence
time is necessary for maximum effectiveness of the ammonia fiber explosion process. Approximate optimal pretreatment conditions
for corn stover were found to be temperature of 90°C, ammonia: dry corn stover mass ratio of 1∶1, moisture content of corn
stover of 60% (dry weight basis), and residence time (holding at target temperature), of 5 min. Approximately 98% of the theoretical
glucose yield was obtained during enzymatic hydrolysis of the optimal treated corn stover using 60 filter paper units (FPU)
of cellulase enzyme/g of glucan (equal to 22 FPU/g of dry corn stover). The ethanol yield from this sample was increased up
to 2.2 times over that of untreated sample. Lowering enzyme loading to 15 and 7.5 FPU/g of glucan did not significantly affect
the glucose yield compared with 60 FPU, and any differences between effects at different enzyme levels decreased as the treatment
temperature increased. 相似文献

This research investigated a novel process to prepare polyester from corn stover through liquefaction and crosslinking processes.
First, corn stover was liquefied in organic solvents (90 wt% ethylene glycol and 10 wt% ethylene carbonate) with catalysts
at moderate temperature under atmospheric pressure. The effect of liquefaction temperature, biomass content, and type of catalyst,
such H2SO4, HCl, H3PO4, and ZnCl2, was evaluated. Higher liquefaction yield was achieved in 2 wt% sulfuric acid, 1/4 (w/w) stover to liquefying reagent ratio;
160°C temperature, in 2h. The liquefied corn stover was rich in polyols, which can be directly used as feedstock for making
polymers without further separation or purification. Second, polyester was made from the liquefied corn stover by crosslinking
with multifunctional carboxylic acids and/or cyclic acid anhydrides. The tensile strength of polyester is about 5 MPa and
the elongation is around 35%. The polyester is stable in cold water and organic solvents and readily biodegradable as indicated
by 82% weight loss when buried in damp soil for 10 mo. The results indicate that this novel polyester could be used for the
biodegradable garden mulch film production. 相似文献

Optimization of steam pretreatment of corn stover to enhance enzymatic digestibility 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Among the available agricultural byproducts, corn stover, with its yearly production of 10 million t (dry basis), is the most
abundant promising raw material for fuel ethanol production in Hungary. In the United States, more than 216 million to fcorn
stover is produced annually, of which a portion also could possibly be collected for conversion to ethanol. However, a network
of lignin and hemicellulose protects cellulose, which is the major source of fermentable sugars in corn stover (approx 40%
of the dry matter [DM]). Steam pretreatment removes the major part of the hemicellulose from the solid material and makes
the cellulose more susceptible to enzymatic digestion. We studied 12 different combinations of reaction temperature, time,
and pH during steam pretreatment. The best conditions (200°C, 5 min, 2% H2SO4) increased the enzymatic conversion (from cellulose to glucose) of corn stover more then four times, compared to untreated
material. However, steam pretreatment at 190°C for 5 min with 2% sulfuric acid resulted in the highest overall yield of sugars,
56.1 g from 100 g of untreated material (DM), corresponding to 73% of the theoretical. The liquor following steam explosion
was fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae to investigate the inhibitory effect of the pretreatment. The achieved ethanol yield was slightly higher than that obtained
with a reference sugar solution. This demonstrates that baker's yeast could adapt to the pretreated liquor and ferment the
glucose to ethanol efficiently. 相似文献

In this study, corn stover with a dry matter content of 20% was impregnated with SO2 and then steam pretreated for various times at various temperatures. The pretreatment was evaluated by enzymatic hydrolysis
of the solid material and analysis of the sugar content in the liquid. The maximum overall yield of glucose, 89% of the theoretical
based on the glucan in the raw material, was achieved when the corn stover was pretreated at 200°C for 10 min. The maximum
overall yield of xylose, 78%, was obtained with pretreatment at 190°C for 5 min. 相似文献

Corn stover, the most abundant agricultural residue in Hungary, is a potential raw material for the production of fuel ethanol
as a result of its high content of carbohydrates, but a pretreatment is required for its efficient hydrolysis. In this article,
we describe the results using various chemicals such as dilute H2SO4, HCl, and NaOH separately as well as consecutively under relative mild conditions (120°C, 1h). Pretreatment with 5% H2SO4 or 5% HCl solubilized 85% of the hemicellulose fraction, but the enzymatic conversion of pretreated materials increased only
two times compared to the untreated corn stover. Applying acidic pretreatment following a 1-d soaking in base achieved enzymatic
conversion that was nearly the theoretical maximum (95.7%). Pretreatment with 10% NaOH decreased the lignin fraction >95%,
increased the enzymatic conversion more than four times, and gave a 79.4% enzymatic conversion. However, by increasing the
reaction time, the enzymatic degradability could also be increased significantly, using a less concentrated base. When the
time of pretreatment was increased three times (0.5% NaOH at 120°C), the amount of total released sugars was 47.9 g from 100
g (dry matter) of untreated corn stover. 相似文献

In this paper, we report the combination of a near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic method with multivariate analysis in order
to develop a calibration model of the saccharification ratio of chemically pretreated Erianthus. The regression models clearly depend on the NIR spectral regions, and the information of CH and aromatic framework vibrations
contributed most effectively to the alkaline dataset. From interpretations of the regression coefficient, lignin and cellulose
were negatively and positively correlated with the saccharification ratio, respectively, and this result was supported by
the data from wet chemical analysis. A more complex dataset was obtained from varied chemical pretreatments; here, the saccharification
ratio was either small or had no linear correlation with each structural monocomponent. These results enabled the successful
construction of the PLS regression model. NIR spectroscopy can be a rapid screening method for the saccharification ratio,
and furthermore, can provide information of the key factors influencing the realization of more efficient enzymatic accessibility. 相似文献

A pretreatment method using aqueous ammonia was investigated with the intent of minimizing the liquid throughput. This process
uses a flow-through packed column reactor (or percolation reactor). In comparison to the ammonia recycle percolation (ARP)
process developed previously in our laboratory, this process significantly reduces the liquid throughput to one reactor void
volume in packed bed (2.0–4.7 mL of liquid/g of corn stover) and, thus, is termed low-liquid ARP (LLARP). In addition to attaining
short residence time and reduced energy input, this process achieves 59–70% of lignin removal and 48–57% of xylan retention.
With optimum operation of the LLARP to corn stover, enzymatic digestibilities of 95, 90 and 86% were achieved with 60, 15,
and 7.5 filter paper units/g of glucan, respectively. In the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation test of the LLARP
samples using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (NREL-D5A), an ethanol yield of 84% of the theoretical maximum was achieved with 6% (w/v) glucan loading. In the simultaneous saccharification
and cofermentation (SSCF) test using recombinant Escherichia coli (KO11), both the glucan and xylan in the solid were effectively utilized, giving an overall ethanol yield of 109% of the
theoretical maximum based on glucan, a clear indication that the xylan content was converted into ethanol. The xylooligomers
existing in the LLARP effluent were not effectively hydrolyzed by cellulase enzyme, achieving only 60% of digestibility. SSCF
of the treated corn stover was severely hampered when the substrate was supplemented with the LLARP effluent, giving only
56% the overall yield of ethanol. The effluent appears to significantly inhibit cellulase and microbial activities. 相似文献

The uncatalyzed hydrolysis and removal of xylan from corn stover is markedly enhanced when operation is changed from batch
to continuous flow through conditions, and the increase in hemicellulose removal with flow rate is inconsistent with predictions
by widely used first-order kinetic models. Mass transfer or other physical effects could influence the hydrolysis rate, and
two models reported in the literature for other applications were adapted to investigate whether incorporation of mass transfer
into the kinetics could explain xylan removal in both batch and continuous flow through reactors on a more consistent basis.
It was found that a simple leaching model and a pore diffusion/leaching model could describe batch and flow through data with
accuracy similar to that of conventional batch models and could provide a more rational explanation for changes in performance
with flow rate. 相似文献

Pretreatment of corn stover by dilute sulfuric acid was investigated using a laboratory percolation (flowthrough) reactor
operated under high-solids conditions. The effects of reaction conditions and operating parameters on the performance of the
percolation reactor were investigated seeking the optimal range in which acceptable levels of yield and sugar concentration
could be attained. It was demonstrated that 70–75% recovery of xylose and 6 to 7% (w/w) xylose concentration were attainable.
The high sugar concentration was obtained as a result of dense packing of dry corn stover and the low liquid throughput. Xylose
was mostly unreacted, rather than decomposed. The cellulose and the unreacted xylan of treated corn stover were both effectively
hydrolyzed by a “cellulase” enzyme preparation that also exhibits some activity on xylan. The xylose yield was affected significantly
by the flow rate under the same reaction time and conditions. This behavior appears to be related to sugar decomposition,
mass transfer resistance, and the fact that acid is neutralized by the buffering components of the biomass. 相似文献
