[PMID: 34592616 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.125983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 09/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The addition of various metallic chlorides in pretreatment of lignocellulose have been widely reported to improve cellulose conversion via cellulolytic processing. However, the interaction mechanism between lignin and metallic cations is not well known. In this work, pretreatment with different concentrations of FeCl3 and AlCl3 were performed upon waste wheat straw to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency. Results showed that pretreatment with FeCl3 and AlCl3 could facilitate the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency increasing from 50.4% to 82.9% and 76.6%, which was attributed to the enhancement of xylan removal by 33.8% (FeCl3) and 36.5% (AlCl3), respectively. Meanwhile, the surface charge, hydrophobicity, and protein adsorption capacity of lignin from waste wheat straw can be decreased by 3.3 mV, 0.6 L/g, 7.6 mg/g (FeCl3). This was due to the depolymerization of lignin in metallic chlorides pretreatment. These findings will be used to further evaluate the effect of metallic chlorides in biorefinery pretreatment.

A synergistic hydrothermal-deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment for rapid fractionation and targeted valorization of hemicelluloses and cellulose from poplar wood. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 341:125828.

Abstract
A synergistic pretreatment that realizing effective fractionation and targeted valorization can guarantee the implementability to future biorefinery scenario. In the present study, a stepwise approach using hydrothermal and deep eutectic solvents (DES) pretreatment was developed to preferentially dissociate hemicelluloses and further remove lignin from poplar, while retaining a cellulose-rich substrate that can be easily digested via enzymatic saccharification to obtain glucose. Results showed that the hydrothermal filtrate is mainly composed of xylooligosaccharide (XOS), monosaccharides, byproducts, and xylan-type hemicelluloses, which have homogenous structures and uniform molecular weights distribution as well as excellent antioxidant activity. Subsequent DES pretreatment further removed the lignin barriers, leading to a remarkable increase in the saccharification efficiency from 15.72% to 96.33% under optimum conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis. In short, the integrated pretreatment is effective for dissociating and chemical conversion of poplar wood, which was reasonable to promote the frontier of highly available biorefinery.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is well suited to address present day energy and environmental concerns, since it is abundant, environmentally benign and sustainable. However, the commercial application of LCB has been limited by its recalcitrant structure. To date, several biomass pretreatment systems have been developed to address this major bottleneck but have shown to be toxic and costly. Alkali and metal salt pretreatment regimes have emerged as promising non-toxic and low-cost treatments. This paper examines the progress made in lignocellulosic pretreatment using alkali and metal salts. The reaction mechanism of alkali and metal chloride salts on lignocellulosic biomass degradation are reviewed. The effect of salt pretreatment on lignin removal, hemicellulose solubilization, cellulose crystallinity, and physical structural changes are also presented. In addition, the enzymatic digestibility and inhibitor profile from salt pretreated lignocellulosic biomass are discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and future prospects on lignocellulosic pretreatment and bioethanol production are highlighted.

Abstract
In this study, natural seawater without additional chemicals was selected to treat sugarcane bagasse for the production of xylooligosaccharides and glucose. This pretreatment not only more effectively conserves freshwater resources than hydrothermal pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, but also decreases corrosion of the equipment relative to techniques utilizing acid and alkaline pretreatment. The maximum yield of 67.12% xylooligosaccharides (of initial xylan), including 11.49% xylobiose, 16.23% xylotriose, 23.82% xylotetraose, and 15.58% xylopentaose was obtained under mild condition (175 °C for 30 min). Moreover, greater amounts of xylotetraose were generated during seawater hydrothermal pretreatment under all conditions, likely because NaCl in seawater cut the hydrogen bonds between xylo-oligomers. In addition, 94.69% cellulose digestibility and 78.58% xylan digestibility were achieved from the solid residue with an enzyme dosage of 30 FPU/g cellulose. Results indicated that seawater hydrothermal pretreatment is a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable technique for producing xylooligosaccharides and fermentable sugars than other methods.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic waste has offered a cost-effective and food security-wise substrate for the generation of biofuels and value-added products. However, its recalcitrant properties necessitate pretreatment. Of the various pretreatment methods, alkaline techniques have gained prominence as efficient catalysts. The kraft pulping industry represents a major hub for the generation of white, black and green liquor alkaline solutions during the paper making process. Despite its well-known significance in the kraft pulping process, green liquor (GL) has been widely applied for lignocellulosic pretreatment. Recently, green liquor dregs (GLD), an alkaline waste generated from the kraft pulping industry has piqued interest. Therefore, this review outlines the general flow of the kraft pulping process and the alkaline chemicals derived. In addition, the extensively studied GL for lignocellulosic pretreatment is discussed. Subsequently, the potential beneficiation of GLD for lignocellulosic pretreatment is presented. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of lignocellulosic pretreatments are highlighted.

Abstract
Camellia oleifera shell (COS) is a worthy byproduct in woody edible oil production enriched in hemicellulose and lignin. This paper aims to explore the high-value transformation of COS for the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) with main degree of polymerization (DP) of 2-5 by the catalysis of ZnCl2. The effect of pretreatment temperature, reaction time and ZnCl2 concentration on the contents and DP distributions of XOS were analyzed. Moderate reaction conditions tended to achieve high content XOS, and the maximum value 61.38% and 14.39 g/L of XOS yield and concentration, respectively, peaked at 170 °C for 30 min using 0.5% (w/w) ZnCl2. The first time the solid residues derived from the production process of XOS were used as the precursor for the co-production of activated carbons (AC). The maximum iodine values and BET surface area were 5623.94 mg/g and 1244.46 m2/g, respectively, using 2.20 M ZnCl2 as the activating agent.

Abstract
Char-based adsorbents (char-FeCl3, char-FeCl2, and char-FeCit) derived from cotton textile waste (CTW) were synthesized by one-step low-temperature pyrolysis approach with different iron salts. The properties of the samples were conducted by BET, SEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, TEM, and FTIR. The results suggested that the surface areas of char-FeCl3 and char-FeCl2 were higher than those of char-FeCit. The presence of Fe2O3 as well as pyrolysis gas (HCl (g) and H2O (g)) could catalyze the formation of porosity. Meanwhile, FeCl3 showed the strongest catalysis effect to decompose cellulose to produce char. The pyrolysis process analysis was investigated by means of thermogravimetry-DSC. FeCl3 and FeCl2 could accelerate the breakage of cellulose structure whereas FeC6H5O7 was not beneficial to form char at low temperature as the incomplete decomposition of citrate. The adsorption property of Cr(VI) for the chars was evaluated. Adsorption processes were fitted well with the Freundlich model, and char-FeCl3 presented the best adsorptive capacity (70.39 mg/g). Thus, this low-temperature pyrolysis method was economical and technologically simplified as well as efficient adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) removal. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
This work studied the association between biomass types and MgO pretreatment using representative agricultural residues (corn stover, sorghum stalk, and wheat straw), energy crops (miscanthus, switchgrass, and big bluestem), and woody biomass (poplar). Differences in biomass chemical components (24.7-40.3% cellulose, 17.4-27.6% hemicellulose, 12.1-22.0% lignin, and 5.1-38.3% extractives) and the amount of acetic acid (1.9-5.3%) affected biomass structure and pretreatment severity. Optimal pretreatment temperature and time were 170 °C and 40 min for wheat straw and switchgrass; 180 °C and 30 min for miscanthus and poplar; and 180 °C and 40 min for corn stover, sorghum stalk, and big bluestem. Big bluestem and poplar have a larger amount of acetic acid and required more MgO loading (0.12 mol/L). Except for sorghum stalk (0.10 mol/L), the rest required less MgO loading (0.08 mol/L). Approximate MgO loading completely neutralized released acetic acid during pretreatment, reducing sugar degradation and eliminating inhibitor formation.

Abstract
Biomass pretreatment can improve the conversion efficiency of bioenergy production. Liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment is a truly green pretreatment due to its zero chemical use, but has the disadvantages of low lignin removal and pseudo-lignin formation. A modified liquid hot water (MLHW) process based on in situ synthesis of deep eutectic solvent (DES) could efficiently improve delignification of Roystonea regia leaves (LR) and leaf sheaths (LSR). LSR was less recalcitrant than LR, and its characteristics of higher porosity (34.8%) and thinner cell walls (5.2 μm) for LSR contributed it higher lignin removal (53.6%) and lower choline chloride (ChCl) consumption (H2O-ChCl mass ratio of 2:1) than those (44.6% and 1:2) from LR. Moreover, a great improvement of 309.0% in bio-methane yield was achieved for the MLHW-treated LSR. In addition, in situ DES in MLHW had good biocompatibility with cellulase, microalgae, and yeast.

Abstract
Five metal oxides, Fe2O3, CuO, NiO, ZnO, and MgO, were investigated as catalysts to improve lignin removal and reduce sugar degradation during corn stover pretreatment. Liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment was used as control. Among the five metal oxides, MgO was the most suitable for biomass pretreatmen. The optimal pretreatment condition was the solid/liquid ratio of 1/10 with 0.10 mol/L MgO at 190 °C for 40 min. The fermentable xylose (85%) and glucose (97%) from MgO pretreatment were equivalent to those (89 and 95%) from LHW pretreatment, and lignin removal was 1.5-fold more than that from LHW pretreatment. The pH of the resulting biomass slurry was close to 7.0 and without furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural formation. Thus, the water-washing step for inhibitor removal can be omitted. The biomass liquor can be used directly for downstream hydrolysis and fermentation. Acid-resistant equipment is not required due to the absence of acids.

Abstract
Abstract
The evolution from petroleum-based products to the bio-based era by using renewable resources is one of the main research challenges in the coming years. Lignocellulosic biomass, consisting of inedible plant material, has emerged as a potential alternative for the production of biofuels, biochemicals, and nanocellulose-based advanced materials. The lignocellulosic biomass, which consists mainly of carbohydrate-based polysaccharides (hemicellulose and cellulose), is a green intermediate for the synthesis of bio-based products. In recent years, the re-engineering of biomass into a variety of commodity chemicals and liquid fuels by using Lewis acid catalysts has attracted much attention. Much research has been focused on developing new chemical strategies for the valorization of different biomass components. Homogeneous Lewis acid catalysts seem to be one of the most promising catalysts due to their astonishing features such as being less corrosive to equipment and being friendlier to the environment, as well as having the ability to disrupt the bonding system effectively and having high selectivity. Thus, these catalysts have emerged as important tools for the highly selective transformation of biomass components into valuable chemicals and fuels. This review provides an insightful overview of the most important recent developments in homogeneous Lewis acid catalysis toward the production and upgrading of biomass. The chemical valorization of the main components of lignocellulosic biomass (hemicellulose and cellulose), the reaction conditions, and process mechanisms are reviewed.

Abstract
Enhancement of eucalyptus enzymatic saccharification by synergy of ZnCl2 hydrate pretreatment and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated in this study. The result showed that the ZnCl2 hydrate pretreatment could not only selectively extract up to ∼100% of the hemicellulose from eucalyptus, but also convert portion of high crystalline cellulose I into low crystalline cellulose II, which both beneficial for enhancing subsequent pretreated solids enzymatic saccharification. The addition of BSA into enzymatic hydrolysis step could significantly promote the glucose release from pretreated solids, especially, under the low enzyme loading. Furthermore, the material balance indicated that the highest glucose yield of this study was 35.5g/100g raw material, which representing 90.3% of glucose in raw eucalyptus, combined with the xylose yield, 13.9g/100g eucalyptus, it can be concluded that ZnCl2 hydrate pretreatment offered the potential to co-produce xylose and glucose from eucalyptus.

Abstract
This study presents a sequential sodium phosphate dodecahydrate (Na3PO4·12H2O) and zinc chloride (ZnCl2) pretreatment to enhance delignification and enzymatic saccharification of corn cobs. The effects of process parameters of Na3PO4·12H2O concentration (5-15%), ZnCl2 concentration (1-5%) and solid to liquid ratio (5-15%) on reducing sugar yield from corn cobs were investigated. The sequential pretreatment model was developed and optimized with a high coefficient of determination value (0.94). Maximum reducing sugar yield of 1.10±0.01g/g was obtained with 14.02% Na3PO4·12H2O, 3.65% ZnCl2 and 5% solid to liquid ratio. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared analysis (FTIR) showed major lignocellulosic structural changes after the optimized sequential pretreatment with 63.61% delignification. In addition, a 10-fold increase in the sugar yield was observed compared to previous reports on the same substrate. This sequential pretreatment strategy was efficient for enhancing enzymatic saccharification of corn cobs.

Abstract
This paper presents a method to pretreat sugarcane leaf waste using microwave-assisted (MA) inorganic salt to enhance enzymatic saccharification. The effects of process parameters of salt concentration, microwave power intensity and pretreatment time on reducing sugar yield from sugarcane leaf waste were investigated. Pretreatment models based on MA-NaCl, MA-ZnCl2 and MA-FeCl3 were developed with high coefficients of determination (R2 >0.8) and optimized. Maximum reducing sugar yield of 0.406g/g was obtained with 2M FeCl3 at 700W for 3.5min. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared analysis (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed major changes in lignocellulosic structure after MA-FeCl3 pretreatment with 71.5% hemicellulose solubilization. This regime was further assessed on sorghum leaves and Napier grass under optimal MA-FeCl3 conditions. A 2-fold and 3.1-fold increase in sugar yield respectively were observed compared to previous reports. This pretreatment was highly effective for enhancing enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
A process for co-extraction of soluble and insoluble sugars from energy sorghum (ES) was developed based on hydrothermal hydrolysis (HH). Two series of ES were investigated: one (N) with a high biomass yield displayed a higher recalcitrance to sugar release, whereas the second (T) series was characterized by high sugar extraction. The highest total xylose recoveries of 87.2% and 98.7% were obtained for N-11 and T-106 under hydrolysis conditions of 180°C for 50min and 180°C for 30min, respectively. Moreover, the T series displayed higher enzymatic digestibility (ED) than the N series. The high degree of branching (arabinose/xylose ratio) and acetyl groups in the hemicellulose chains of T-106 would be expected to accelerate sugar release during the HH process. In addition, negative correlations between ED and the lignin content, crystallinity index (CrI) and syringyl/guaiacyl (S/G) lignin ratio were observed. Furthermore, finding ways to overcome the thickness of the cell wall and heterogeneity of its chemical composition distribution would make cellulose more accessible to the enzyme.

Abstract
In this study, Eucalyptus camaldulensis was pretreated with 0.02 M aluminum chloride (AlCl3) at 140-180 °C to obtain digestible substrates for glucose and lignin. The effects of AlCl3-catalyzed hydrothermal pretreatment on the degradation of carbohydrates, structural changes of lignin, crystallinity, morphologic changes, and cellulose conversion of the pretreated biomass have been investigated by HAPEC, HPLC, FT-IR, XRD, CP/MAS NMR, SEM, and 2D-HSQC NMR. Results showed that the pretreatment significantly removed hemicelluloses and cleaved β-O-4 linkages of lignin at high temperatures. Under an optimum condition (at 170 °C for 1 h), almost all of hemicelluloses were removed and most of β-O-4 linkages in lignin were cleaved, and 77.8% cellulose conversion of the pretreated biomass was achieved, which was 7.3-fold higher than that of the original biomass. In short, this process was regarded as a promising approach to achieve an efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable glucose and residual lignin.

Abstract
Pennisetum hybrid I, II and switchgrass were pretreated with liquid hot water to enhance the release of sugars. The optimum hydrolysis factor for three energy grasses was 5.98, and the total xylose yield was 88.4%, 98.1% and 83.6% for grass I, II and S. It was indicated that the ratio of syringyl and guaiacyl units of lignin played an important role on the hemicellulose hydrolysis in LHW than branch degree, but latter contributed more on the characterization of xylooligomers degree of polymerization. Moreover, the analysis of multi-scale changes of substrate suggested that cellulose crystallinity index and degree of polymerization seemed no direct relationships for increase of enzymatic digestibility. While lignin barrier was the main factor limiting efficiency of sugar release, and Pennisetum hybrid with low lignin content and high sugar recovery was proved to be a prospective plant feedstock for cellulosic ethanol production.

Abstract
This study presents the ultrasound assisted pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) using metal salt with hydrogen peroxide for bioethanol production. Among the different metal salts used, maximum holocellulose recovery and delignification were achieved with ultrasound assisted titanium dioxide (TiO2) pretreatment (UATP) system. At optimum conditions (1% H2O2, 4 g SCB dosage, 60 min sonication time, 2:100 M ratio of metal salt and H2O2, 75°C, 50% ultrasound amplitude and 70% ultrasound duty cycle), 94.98 ± 1.11% holocellulose recovery and 78.72 ± 0.86% delignification were observed. The pretreated SCB was subjected to dilute acid hydrolysis using 0.25% H2SO4 and maximum xylose, glucose and arabinose concentration obtained were 10.94 ± 0.35 g/L, 14.86 ± 0.12 g/L and 2.52 ± 0.27 g/L, respectively. The inhibitors production was found to be very less (0.93 ± 0.11 g/L furfural and 0.76 ± 0.62 g/L acetic acid) and the maximum theoretical yield of glucose and hemicellulose conversion attained were 85.8% and 77%, respectively. The fermentation was carried out using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and at the end of 72 h, 0.468 g bioethanol/g holocellulose was achieved. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of pretreated SCB was made and its morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compounds formed during the pretreatment were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis.

Abstract
The large water consumption (1.9-5.9 m(3) water per m(3) of biofuel) required by biomass processing plants has become an emerging concern, which is particularly critical in arid/semiarid regions. Seawater, as a widely available water source, could be an interesting option. This work was to study the technical feasibility of using seawater to replace freshwater in the pretreatment of date palm leaflets, a lignocellulosic biomass from arid regions, for bioethanol production. It was shown that leaflets pretreated with seawater exhibited lower cellulose crystallinity than those pretreated with freshwater. Pretreatment with seawater produced comparably digestible and fermentable solids to those obtained with freshwater. Moreover, no significant difference of inhibition to Saccharomyces cerevisiae was observed between liquids from pretreatment with seawater and freshwater. The results showed that seawater could be a promising alternative to freshwater for lignocellulose biorefineries in coastal and/or arid/semiarid areas.

Abstract
Lignin layers surrounding hemicelluloses and cellulose in the plant cell walls protect them from deconstruction. This recalcitrance to sugar release is a major limitation for cost-effective industrial conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels. Many literatures had reported the contribution of lignin removal to cellulose accessibility to enzyme, but less to the hemicellulose hydrolysis. Herein, beech xylan with lignin addition, partly delignified sugarcane bagasse (SB), energy sorghum hybrids (ESH) were treated in liquid hot water (LHW) to investigate the effect of lignin on hemicellulose decomposition. The addition of lignin can enhance the low degree of polymerization of xylooligomers production resulted from the acid catalyzed cleavage of lignin-derived acidic products. However, a negative correlation was observed initially between the lignin level and the total xylose yield from ESH. Furthermore, samples with lignin addition or high lignin content had a great resistant to harsh reaction environment, about 93.5% total xylose lost but only 52.3% released due to the lack of lignin protection for the sample with 100% lignin removal.

Abstract
Currently, the transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into value-added products such as reducing sugars is garnering attention worldwide. However, efficient hydrolysis is usually hindered by the recalcitrant structure of the biomass. Many pretreatment technologies have been developed to overcome the recalcitrance of lignocellulose such that the components can be reutilized more effectively to enhance sugar recovery. Among all of the utilized pretreatment methods, inorganic salt pretreatment represents a more novel method and offers comparable sugar recovery with the potential for reducing costs. The use of inorganic salt also shows improved performance when it is integrated with other pretreatment technologies. Hence, this paper is aimed to provide a detailed overview of the current situation for lignocellulosic biomass and its physicochemical characteristics. Furthermore, this review discusses some recent studies using inorganic salt for pretreating biomass and the mechanisms involved during the process. Finally, some prospects and challenges using inorganic salt are highlighted.

Abstract
The development of a green system to solubilize cellulose from raw biomass is important, yet it is challenging because of the insolubility of cellulose in most solvents. Herein, a green NaCl-H2 O system is developed in which NaCl significantly enhances the dissolution and depolymerisation of cellulose from raw biomass. Nearly all the cellulose in the selected biomass types was dissolved and degraded into oligomers with molecular weights of 200-400 Da under relatively mild conditions. Cl(-) could interact strongly with the end OH group of the glucose unit in a 1:1 ratio, which resulted in the enhanced breaking of both inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. In particular, the intermolecular hydrogen bond with an FTIR band at approximately v=3200 cm(-1) was disrupted significantly by Cl(-) . The FTIR band for a hydrogen bond between hemicellulose and lignin might appear at v=1636 cm(-1) , whereas this bond could be almost totally broken under hydrothermal conditions at 220 °C.

Abstract
Low water consumption operation (LWCO) can reduce the usage of water and energy input for the liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse (SB) but causes great negative effects on the saccharification rate of xylose and enzymatic digestibility (ED) of cellulose. Therefore, a combined pretreatment with LHW and aqueous ammonia (LHWAA) was developed. ED of glucan and xylan is enhanced greatly resulted from the removal of hemicellulose and lignin after the LHWAA pretreatment. However, the intriguing results of low lignin removal and ED value were observed at the high reaction temperature of 180°C for the second step pretreatment of AA. It was proposed that lignin or pseudo-lignin droplet redeposited on the surface of residual solids might play a crucial role in determining the ED, so it is indispensable to make the enzyme access to the cellulose by the step of post-treatment with ultrasonic washing or hot washing. Coupled with the process of post-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, a high hemicellulose derived sugars recovery of 75.5% and glucose recovery of 87% was obtained for LHWAA pretreatment.

Abstract
This study focused on the effects of five inorganic salts, NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, ZnCl2, and FeCl3, on the pretreatment of Miscanthus straw for sugar recovery and enzymatic digestibility. In the results, all of the salts reduced the hemicellulose content in the straw. Most notably, FeCl3 effected almost 100% xylan removal. Overall, the trivalent salts, which include FeCl3, had an especially significant influence on enzymatic digestibility of Miscanthus straw compared with the di- and mono-valent inorganic salts, which had relatively only minor effects. The salt impacts were in the following order: FeCl3>ZnCl2>CaCl2>KCl>NaCl. Under the pretreatment condition of 0.5% FeCl3 at 200°C for 15min, 100% xylan removal and 71.6% enzymatic digestibility were obtained. Nevertheless, ZnCl2 get the better effect on total glucose content than that of FeCl3.

Abstract
Liquid hot water (LHW), dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) and dilute sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were applied to sugarcane bagasse (SB). Application of the same analytical methods and material balance approaches facilitated meaningful comparisons of glucose and xylose yields from combined pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. All pretreatments enhanced sugar recovery from pretreatment and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis substantially compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse. Adding Tween80 in the enzymatic hydrolysis process increased the conversion level of glucan/xylan by 0.3-fold, especially for the low pH pretreatment where more lignin was left in the solids. The total sugar recovery from sugarcane bagasse with the coupled operations of pretreatment and 72 h enzymatic digestion reached 71.6% for LHW process, 76.6% for HCl pretreatment and 77.3% for NaOH pretreatment. Different structural changes at the plant tissue, cellular, and cell wall levels might be responsible for the different enzymatic digestibility. Furthermore, a combined LHW and aqueous ammonia pretreatment was proposed to reduce energy input and enhance the sugar recovery.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of NH(4)Cl and MgCl(2) on pretreatment and xylan hydrolysis of miscanthus straw for biofuels production. It was observed that increasing the pretreatment temperature decreased the remaining solid, increased the enzymatic digestibility, and increased the xylan removal. When 0.2-5.0% NH(4)Cl and MgCl(2) were employed in pretreatments, increasing the inorganic salt concentration slightly diminished the remaining solid, though the enzymatic digestibility was enhanced. Under the higher-than-2% condition, no xylan remained in the solid residues after pretreatment. With pretreatment time, the remaining solid slightly decreased, but the enzymatic digestibility was increased. Moreover, xylan removal was linearly increased to 15 min, after which it was completely hydrolyzed. Overall, these results indicated that pretreatment by 2% NH(4)Cl or MgCl(2) at 185 °C for 15 min completely hydrolyzes the xylan of miscanthus straw. In scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, the physical surface of the miscanthus straw showed an apparently damaged surface area and exposure of the internal structure after pretreatment with NH(4)Cl and MgCl(2) by SEM.

Abstract
Pretreatment is necessary for lignocellulose to achieve a highly efficient enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. However, coincident with pretreatment, compounds inhibiting microorganism growth are formed. Some tissues or cells, such as thin-walled cells that easily hydrolyze, will be excessively degraded because of the structural heterogeneity of lignocellulose, and some inhibitors will be generated under the same pretreatment conditions. Results showed, compared with one-step steam explosion (1.2 MPa/8 min), two-step steam explosion with an intermediate separation of fiber cells (ISFC) (1.1 Mpa/4 min-ISFC-1.2 MPa/4 min) can increase enzymatic hydrolyzation by 12.82%, reduce inhibitor conversion by 33%, and increase fermentation product (2,3-butanediol) conversion by 209%. Thus, the two-step steam explosion with ISFC process is proposed to optimize the hydrolysis process of lignocellulose by modifying the raw material from the origin. This novel process reduces the inhibitor content, promotes the biotransformation of lignocellulose, and simplifies the process of excluding the detoxification unit operation.

Abstract
Plant chitinases, a class of glycosyl hydrolases, participate in various aspects of normal plant growth and development, including cell wall metabolism and disease resistance. The rice (Oryza sativa) genome encodes 37 putative chitinases and chitinase-like proteins. However, none of them has been characterized at the genetic level. In this study, we report the isolation of a brittle culm mutant, bc15, and the map-based cloning of the BC15/OsCTL1 (for chitinase-like1) gene affected in the mutant. The gene encodes the rice chitinase-like protein BC15/OsCTL1. Mutation of BC15/OsCTL1 causes reduced cellulose content and mechanical strength without obvious alterations in plant growth. Bioinformatic analyses indicated that BC15/OsCTL1 is a class II chitinase-like protein that is devoid of both an amino-terminal cysteine-rich domain and the chitinase activity motif H-E-T-T but possesses an amino-terminal transmembrane domain. Biochemical assays demonstrated that BC15/OsCTL1 is a Golgi-localized type II membrane protein that lacks classical chitinase activity. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and β-glucuronidase activity analyses indicated that BC15/OsCTL1 is ubiquitously expressed. Investigation of the global expression profile of wild-type and bc15 plants, using Illumina RNA sequencing, further suggested a possible mechanism by which BC15/OsCTL1 mediates cellulose biosynthesis and cell wall remodeling. Our findings provide genetic evidence of a role for plant chitinases in cellulose biosynthesis in rice, which appears to differ from their roles as revealed by analysis of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

Abstract
The chemical composition, hydrolysis products, and kinetics during liquid hot water pretreatment of sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) and eucalyptus wood chips (EWC) were investigated. Under optimal conditions, a total xylose recovery of 79.6% and 55.6% for SSB and of 74.9% and 84.4% for EWC was achieved after pretreatments in a step-change flow rate reactor (184 °C, 20 ml/min, 8 min, and 10 ml/min, 10 min) and batch stirred reactor (184 °C, 5%w/v, 18 min), respectively. More than 90% of the xylose was recovered as oligomers from SSB, independent of the type of reactor employed. The activation energies of xylan decomposition of SSB in the step-change flow rate reactor was 6.5-fold greater than that of EWC in the batch stirred reactor due to accumulation of acidic products. These findings show that sugar recovery is dependent on the reactor configuration for specific substrates.

Abstract
A laboratory set-up was designed to carry out high consistency enzymatic saccharification of sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) which was pretreated by liquid hot water (LHW). The effects of two impellers on enzymatic hydrolysis of SSB were investigated. Compared with the double-curved-blade impeller (DCBI), the plate-and-frame impeller (PFI) could improve glucose production by 10%. Tween80 and fed-batch hydrolysis method adopted in this study produced total sugar of 17.06 g/L more than batch hydrolysis and raised the substrate consistency to 30%. At the final substrate loading of 30%, the concentrations of cellobiose, glucose and xylose reached to 15.01 g/L, 88.95 g/L and 9.80 g/L, respectively, and the ethanol concentration reached to 43.36 g/L in the case of cellobiose and xylose were not fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y2034. This study is an attempt at improvement of enzyme hydrolyzing LHW-pretreated material at high consistency.
