Kashitani Y, Nakamura Y, Asada C. Pressurized microwave-assisted hydrothermal treatment with various salts for efficient production of monosaccharides from rice straw. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 362:142660. [PMID: 38901700 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
This study proposed a two-stage pressurized microwave hydrothermal treatment with a catalyst, followed by enzymatic saccharification, as a pretreatment method for efficiently converting cellulose and hemicellulose from rice straw into glucose and xylose. The use of various inorganic salts and dilute sulfuric acid as catalysts enhances sugar production. Using 1 wt% sulfuric acid as a catalyst at 150 °C for 5 min for the first-stage and then 180 °C for 5 min for the second-stage yielded the highest sugar production from rice straw compared with other inorganic salts tested. The filtrate and enzymatic saccharification solution contained a total sugar of 0.434 g/g-untreated rice straw (i.e. 0.302 g-glucose/g-untreated rice straw and 0.132 g-xylose/g-untreated rice straw). When inorganic salts such as NaCl, MgCl2, CaCl2, and FeCl3 were used as catalysts, the highest sugar yield of 0.414 g/g-untreated rice straw (i.e. 0.310 g-glucose/g-untreated rice straw and 0.104 g-xylose/g-untreated rice straw) was obtained when using 1 wt% FeCl3 at 170 °C for 5 min in the first-stage and 190 °C for 5 min in the second-stage, with a value close to that of 1 wt% sulfuric acid. These findings suggest that two-stage treatment with a catalyst is a suitable pretreatment method for the production of glucose and xylose from rice straw owing to the different hydrolysis temperatures of cellulose and hemicellulose.

Abstract
Gracilaria verrucosa is red algae (Rhodophyta) that is particularly significant because of its potential for bioenergy production as a sustainable and environmentally friendly marine bioresource. This study focuses on the production of levulinic acid from G. verrucosa using hydrothermal conversion with an ionic resin Purolite CT269DR as the catalyst. By optimization of the conversion condition, a 30.3 % (22.58 g/L) yield of levulinic acid (LA) (based on carbohydrate content) was obtained at 200 °C for 90 min with 12.5 % biomass and 50 % catalyst loading of biomass quantity. Simultaneously, formic acid yielded 14.0 % (10.42 g/L). The LA yield increased with increasing combined severity (CS) levels under tested ranges. Furthermore, the relationship between CS and LA synthesis was effectively fitted to the nonlinear sigmoidal equation. However, as the yield of sugar decreased, LA yield was linearly increased. Thus, the use of ionic resin as a heterogeneous catalyst presents significant potential for the manufacture of platform chemicals, specifically LA, through the conversion of renewable marine macroalgae.

Abstract
Lignocellulose biorefinery depended on effective pretreatment strategies is of great significance for solving the current global crisis of ecosystem and energy security. This study proposes a novel approach combining seawater hydrothermal pretreatment (SHP) and microwave-assisted deep eutectic solvent (MD) pretreatment to achieve an effective fractionation of Pinus massoniana into high value-added products. The results indicated that complex ions (Mg2+, Ca2+, and Cl-) in natural seawater served as Lewis acids and dramatically promoted the depolymerization of mannose and xylan into oligosaccharides with 40.17 % and 75.43 % yields, respectively. Subsequent MD treatment realized a rapid and effective lignin fractionation (~90 %) while retaining cellulose. As a result, the integrated pretreatment yielded ~85 % of enzymatic glucose, indicating an eightfold increase compared with untreated pine. Because of the increased hydrophobicity induced by the formation of acyl groups during MD treatment, uniform lignin nanospheres were successfully recovered from the DES. It exhibited low dispersibility (PDI = 2.23), small molecular weight (1889 g/mol), and excellent oxidation resistance (RSI = 5.94), demonstrating promising applications in functional materials. The mechanism of lignin depolymerization was comprehensively elucidated via FTIR, 2D-HSQC NMR, and GPC analyses. Overall, this study provides a novel and environmentally friendly strategy for lignocellulose biorefinery and lignin valorization.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) presents a promising feedstock for carbon management due to enormous potential for achieving carbon neutrality and delivering substantial environmental and economic benefit. Bioenergy derived from LCB accounts for about 10.3 % of the global total energy supply. The generation of bioenergy through anaerobic digestion (AD) in combination with carbon capture and storage, particularly for methane production, provides a cost-effective solution to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, while concurrently facilitating bioenergy production and the recovery of high-value products during LCB conversion. However, the inherent recalcitrant polymer crystal structure of lignocellulose impedes the accessibility of anaerobic bacteria, necessitating lignocellulosic residue pretreatment before AD or microbial chain elongation. This paper seeks to explore recent advances in pretreatment methods for LCB biogas production, including pulsed electric field (PEF), electron beam irradiation (EBI), freezing-thawing pretreatment, microaerobic pretreatment, and nanomaterials-based pretreatment, and provide a comprehensive overview of the performance, benefits, and drawbacks of the traditional and improved treatment methods. In particular, physical-chemical pretreatment emerges as a flexible and effective option for methane production from straw wastes. The burgeoning field of nanomaterials has provoked progress in the development of artificial enzyme mimetics and enzyme immobilization techniques, compensating for the intrinsic defect of natural enzyme. However, various complex factors, such as economic effectiveness, environmental impact, and operational feasibility, influence the implementation of LCB pretreatment processes. Techno-economic analysis (TEA), life cycle assessment (LCA), and artificial intelligence technologies provide efficient means for evaluating and selecting pretreatment methods. This paper addresses current issues and development priorities for the achievement of the appropriate and sustainable utilization of LCB in light of evolving economic and environmentally friendly social development demands, thereby providing theoretical basis and technical guidance for improving LCB biogas production of AD systems.

Abstract
Lignocellulose is resistant to degradation and requires pretreatment before hydrolytic enzymes can release fermentable sugars. Sulfuric acid has been widely used for biomass pretreatment, but high amount of degradation products usually occurred when using this method. To enhance accessibility to cellulose, we studied the performances of several dilute organic acid pretreatments of sugarcane bagasse and oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber. The results revealed that pretreatment with maleic acid yields the highest xylose and glucose release among other organic acids. The effects of concentration, duration of heating and heating temperature were further studied. Dilute maleic acid 1 % (w/w) pretreatment at 180 °C was the key to its viability as a substitute for sulfuric acid. Moreover, maleic acid did not seem to highly promote the formation of either furfural or 5-HMF in the liquid hydrolysate after pretreatment.

Abstract
Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish an improved pretreatment and fermentation method i.e. immobilized cells for high recovery of fermentable sugars from PKC and its effects on fermentability performance by Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z in the conversion of lactic acid. The effects of oxalic acid concentrations (1–6% w/v) and residence times (1–5 h) on the sugar recovery were initially investigated and it was found that the highest mannose concentration was 25.1 g/L at the optimum hydrolysis conditions of 4 h and 3% (w/v) oxalic acid. The subsequent enzymatic saccharification of the pretreated PKC afforded the highest enzymatic digestibility with the recovered sugars amounting to 25.18 g/L and 9.14 g/L of mannose and glucose, respectively. Subsequently, the fermentability performance of PKC hydrolysate was evaluated and compared in terms of cultivation phases (i.e. mono and dual-phases), carbonate loadings (i.e. magnesium and sodium carbonates), and types of sugars (i.e. glucose and mannose). The highest titer of 19.4 g/L lactic acid was obtained from the fermentation involving A. succinogenes 130Z in dual-phase cultivation supplemented with 30 g/L of magnesium carbonate. Lactic acid production was further enhanced by using immobilized cells with coconut shell-activated carbon (CSAC) of different sizes (A, B, C, and D) in the repeated batch cultivation of dual-phase fermentation producing 31.64 g/L of lactic acid. This work sheds light on the possibilities to enhance the utilization of PKC for lactic acid production via immobilized A. succinogenes 130Z.

Abstract
Succinic acid (SA) is an intermediate product of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and is one of the most significant platform chemicals for the production of various derivatives with high added value. Due to the depletion of fossil raw materials and the demand for eco-friendly energy sources, SA biosynthesis from renewable energy sources is gaining attention for its environmental friendliness. This review comprehensively analyzes strategies for the bioconversion of lignocellulose to SA based on the lignocellulose pretreatment processes and cellulose hydrolysis and fermentation principles and highlights the research progress on acid production and SA utilization under different microbial culture conditions. In addition, the fermentation efficiency of different microbial strains for the production of SA and the main challenges were analyzed. The future application directions of SA derivatives were pointed out. It is expected that this research will provide a reference for the optimization of SA production from lignocellulose.

Abstract
Due to processing activity, fruits and vegetables generate notable amounts of wastes at the processing, retail, and consumption level. Following the European goals for reducing food wastes and achieving a circular economy of resources, these biowastes should be valorized. In this work, hydrothermal hydrolysis at different conditions (temperatures, times, waste/water ratio, pH values) were tested to treat for first time; biowastes composed of mixed overripe fruits or vegetables to maximize the extraction of fermentable sugars that can be used as substrates in bioprocesses. Experimental data were fitted by a model based on irreversible first-order reactions, and kinetic constants were obtained. When hydrolysis of fruit wastes was carried out at 135 °C and pH 5 during 40 min, more than 40 g of reducing sugars per 100 g of waste (dry weight) could be obtained (represents an extraction of 97% of total carbohydrates). Concentrations of inhibitor compounds (HMF, furfural, acetic acid) in the hydrolysates were very low and, as example, a fermentation to obtain bioethanol was successfully carried out with an efficiency above 95%. Additionally, the production by hydrothermal treatment of bioactive compounds was investigated and the best results obtained were 92% DPPH inhibition and 12 mg GAE/g (dry weight) for antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds, respectively. These values are similar or even higher than those reported in literature using specific parts of fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
Food waste-based biorefineries are considered an essential concept for the implementation of a sustainable circular economy. In this study, cheese whey powder (CWP), a dairy industry waste, was utilized to produce cyclosporin A (CsA). As it is difficult to valorize CWP because its components vary depending on the origin, a process for sugar conversion via acid hydrolysis was designed to obtain reproducible results using refined whey powder (WP) of a consistent quality. Acid hydrolysis was carried out using 2% (w/w) HCl and biomass loading of 50 g/L at 121 °C for 20 min. CWP hydrolysates were utilized to ferment Tolypocladium inflatum ATCC 34921. CsA production was found to be 51.3 mg/L at 12 days, a 1.4-fold increase compared to the control (commercial glucose, 36.3 mg/L). Our results showed that 100 g CWP can be converted to 81.8 mg of CsA. This finding demonstrated that CWP can be used as a sustainable feedstock for biorefineries.

Abstract
As a clean and efficient method of lignocellulosic biomass separation, organic acid pretreatment has attracted extensive research. Hemicellulose or lignin is selectively isolated and the cellulose structure is preserved. Effective fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass is achieved. The separation characteristics of hemicellulose or lignin by different organic acids were summarized. The organic acids of hemicellulose were separated into hydrogen ionized, autocatalytic and α-hydroxy acids according to the separation mechanism. The separation of lignin depends on the dissolution mechanism and spatial effect of organic acids. In addition, the challenges and prospects of organic acid pretreatment were analyzed. The separation of hemicellulose and enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose were significantly affected by the polycondensation of lignin, which is effectively inhibited by the addition of green additives such as ketones or alcohols. Lignin separation was improved by developing a deep eutectic solvent treatment based on organic acid pretreatment. This work provides support for efficient cleaning of carbohydrate polymers and lignin to promote global carbon neutrality.

Abstract
The native peels of two cheap, locally available adsorbents, watermelon (PWM) and water chestnuts (PWC), were chemically processed with different chemicals as modifying agents for the determination and assessment of their adsorption ability for the removal and clearance of harmful, venomous, and pernicious Congo red (CGR), as an acidic nature anionic dye, from the aqueous system. In successive batch experiments, the citric acid-treated peels CPWM and CPWC have shown more promising adsorption performance than their raw and untreated peel counterparts due to the availability of additional adsorption active binding sites evidenced through FT-IR and SEM characterizations. In the Langmuir and Temkin models, the correlation coefficients (
) for the adsorptive removal of CGR on CPWM, PWM, CPWC, and PWC are very close to unity, 0.99 for each case of adsorption performance. Furthermore, the
nonlinear statistical results for the elimination of CGR on citric acid-treated adsorbents (CPWM and CPWC) are 8.3 and 7.95 mg/g whereas for their unmodified forms (PWM and PWC) are 2.23 and 4.32 mg/g, respectively, reflecting homogenous and monolayer adsorption mechanism. The greater values of
1.4 and 1.3 J/mole, for adsorptive removal of dye on CPWM and CPWC, respectively, as compared to their unmodified forms PWM and PWC which are 0.53 and 0.55 J/mole, respectively, indicate the stronger adsorbate-adsorbent associations. The mechanism follows the pseudo second order in the better mode, while thermodynamic statics for ΔH0,ΔG0, ΔS0, and ΔE0, indicate spontaneous and exothermic behavior of adsorption. This study tends to suggest that citric acid-modified adsorbents CPWM and CPWC may indeed be exploited efficiently to eliminate Congo red dye from wastewater.

Production of Prebiotic Xylooligosaccharides via Dilute Maleic Acid-Mediated Xylan Hydrolysis Using an RSM-Model-Based Optimization Strategy. Front Nutr 2022; 9:909283. [PMID: 35619949 PMCID: PMC9127663 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.909283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are functional feed additives that are attracting growing commercial interest owing to their excellent ability to modulate the composition of the gut microbiota. The acid hydrolysis-based processing of xylan-containing materials has been proposed to represent a cost-effective approach to XOS preparation, with organic acids being preferable in this context. As such, in the present study, maleic acid was selected as a mild, edible organic acid for use in the hydrolysis of xylan to produce XOS. A response surface methodology (RSM) approach with a central composite design was employed to optimize maleic acid-mediated XOS production, resulting in a yield of 50.3% following a 15 min treatment with 0.08% maleic acid at 168°C. Under these conditions, the desired XOS degree of polymerization (2-3) was successfully achieved, demonstrating the viability of this using a low acid dose and a high reaction temperature to expedite the production of desired functional products. Moreover, as maleic acid is a relatively stable carboxylic acid, it has the potential to be recycled. These results suggest that dilute maleic acid-based thermal treatment of corncob-derived xylan can achieve satisfactory XOS yields, highlighting a promising and cost-effective approach to XOS production.

Abstract
Although densified wood pellets are an attractive biomass feedstock for bioenergy and biofuels production, partly due to their ease of transport, their friability and hygroscopic nature (attraction of moisture) have proven problematic in terms of storage and handling. Pre-steaming the biomass was shown to reduce the need for size reduction, significantly increasing pellet durability by relocating the plant cell wall lignin to the fibre surface and consequently enhancing binding between particles. Although steam pretreatment has been shown to facilitate enzyme-mediated hydrolysis of biomass, by increasing cellulose accessibility, drying and pelletization partially impeded enzymatic hydrolysis. However, the incorporation of alkaline deacetylation or neutral sulfonation step prior to pre-steaming was shown to mitigate many of the negative effects of drying. Although drying and pelletization did not significantly impact the redistribution of lignin, a mild mechanical refining step was shown to further enhance the hydrolysis of the cellulose component of the pelletized biomass.

Abstract
The pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass enhances the conversion efficiency to produce biofuels and value-added chemicals, which have the potential to replace fossil fuels. Compared to physicochemical and other pretreatment techniques, the hydrothermal methods are considered eco-friendly and cost-effective. This paper reviews the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of steam explosion and subcritical water hydrolysis as the two promising hydrothermal technologies for the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass. Although the principle of the steam explosion in depolymerizing the lignin and exposing the cellulose fibers for bioconversion to liquid fuels is well known, its underlying mechanism for solid biofuel production is less identified. Therefore, this review provides an insight into different operating conditions of steam explosion and subcritical water hydrolysis for a wide variety of feedstocks. The mechanisms of subcritical water hydrolysis including dehydration, decarboxylation and carbonization of waste biomass are comprehensively described. Finally, the role of microwave heating in the hydrothermal pretreatment of biomass is elucidated.

Abstract
Agricultural wastes rich in lignocellulosic biomass have been used in the production of poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) through separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF), but this process is complicated and generates a lot of wastes. In order to find a simpler and greener way to produce γ-PGA using agricultural wastes, this study attempted to establish simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) with citric acid-pretreated corn straw. The possibility of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens JX-6 using corn straw as substrate to synthesize γ-PGA was validated, and the results showed that increasing the proportion of glucose in the substrate could improve the γ-PGA yield. Based on these preliminary results, the corn straw was pretreated using citric acid. Then, the liquid fraction (xylan-rich) was used for cultivation of seed culture, and the solid fraction (glucan-rich) was used as the substrate for SSF. In a 10-L fermenter, the maximum cumulative γ-PGA concentration in batch and fed-batch SSF were 5.08 ± 0.78 g/L and 10.78 ± 0.32 g/L, respectively. Moreover, the product from SSF without γ-PGA extraction was used as a fertilizer synergist, increasing the yield of pepper by 13.46% (P < 0.05). Our study greatly simplified the production steps of γ-PGA, and each step achieved zero emission as far as possible. The SSF process for γ-PGA production provided a simple and green way for lignocellulose biorefinery and sustainable cultivation in agriculture.

Abstract
This study aims to valorize wheat straw for xylose and glucose recovery using maleic acid in the pretreatment. The process conditions of maleic acid hydrolysis of wheat straw for xylose recovery were optimized by response surface methodology, through which the maximum xylose recovery of 77.12% versus minimum furfural yield of 1.61% were achieved using 70 g/L solid-to-liquid ratio and 0.1 mol/L maleic acid for 40 min at 150 °C. Moreover, 88.58% cellulose conversion was achieved by enzymatic hydrolysis of maleic acid-pretreated wheat straw. Results showed that maleic acid was an effective pretreatment solvent for sugars recovery: 19.88 g xylose and 30.89 g glucose were respectively obtained from 100 g wheat straw due to acidic and enzymatic hydrolysis, with only 0.37 g furfural produced. This study provides a strategy for hydrolyzing wheat straw to produce fermentable sugars with low amount of degradation product.

Abstract
The effect of oxidative and reductive delignification processes on the hydrolysis of pine sawdust at mild conditions (200-1000 ppm of HCl and 140-220 °C) is studied in this work. Dimers and reduced sugars are the main products obtained with the fresh sawdust (>82%), reaching a maximum liquid phase yield of 17% after 8 h, at the strongest conditions. This conversion increases up to almost 40% with the pretreated sawdust, obtaining selectivities higher than 87% of levulinic acid and a well-defined distribution of the relevant platform molecules (sugars, HMF, furfural, levulinic acid) as function of the severity of the reaction, decreasing the humins formation and being possible to define different conditions to maximize each yield. These conclusions were corroborated by the kinetic analysis, obtaining a clear decrease in the energy activation for all the individual steps involved in this process.

Abstract
Preventing the further degradation of monomeric or oligomeric sugar into by-product during biomass conversion is one of the challenges for fermentable sugar production. In this study, the performance of subcritical water (SCW) and enzymatic hydrolysis of coconut husk toward reducing sugar production was investigated using a severity factor (SF) approach. Furthermore, the optimal condition of SCW was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM), where the composition changes of lignocellulose and sugar yield as responses. From the results, at low SF of SCW, sugar yield escalated as increasing SF value. In the enzymatic hydrolysis process, the effect of SCW pressure is a significant factor enhancing sugar yield. A maximum total sugar yield was attained on the mild SF condition of 2.86. From this work, it was known that the SF approach is sufficient parameter to evaluate the SCW and enzymatic hydrolysis of coconut husk. Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract
In order to minimize waste liquor, save resources, and reduce costs, the effects of alkali recycling and ozone recycling on enzymatic conversion in alkali combined with ozone pretreatment of corn stover and the mechanism were studied. The results showed that as the number of cycles of alkali/ozone filtrate increased, the enzymatic conversion and the loss of reducing sugars showed a downward trend. It was indicated that the ability of alkali to damage lignocellulosic decreased with an increasing number of alkali circulation and the accumulation of lignin degradation products generated during ozonolysis inhibited enzymatic conversion. When the ozone filtrate was recovered and used for hydrolysis directly, the enzymatic conversion rates were basically the same compared with the first self-circulation of ozone filtrate, and no sewage was discharged. In conclusion, the optimal circulating pretreatment was four times alkali circulation and ozone filtrate was used as an enzymolysis liquid directly, and the conversion rates of cellulose and hemicellulose were 85.96% and 34.26%, respectively, saving 44% alkali consumption at the same time. This paper provided the theoretical basis for the development of lignocellulose pretreatment technology with low cost, high efficiency, and high conversion rate.

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
Degradation of saccharides is relevant to the design of catalytic therapeutics, the production of biofuels, inhibition of biofilms, as well as other applications in chemical biology. Herein, we report the design of multinuclear Cu complexes that enable cleavage of saccharides under physiological conditions. Reactivity studies with para-nitrophenyl (pNP)-conjugated carbohydrates show that dinuclear Cu complexes exhibit a synergistic effect and promote faster and more robust cleavage of saccharide substrates, relative to the mononuclear Cu complex, while no further enhancement is observed for the tetranuclear Cu complex. The use of scavengers for reactive oxygen species confirms that saccharide cleavage is promoted by the formation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals through CuII/I redox chemistry, similar to that observed for native copper-containing lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LMPOs). Differences in selectivity for di- and tetranuclear Cu complexes are modest. However, these are the first reported small multinuclear Cu complexes that show selectivity and reactivity against mono- and disaccharide substrates and form a basis for further development of metalloglycosidases for applications in chemical biology.

Abstract
Background Plants with high biomass can be manipulated for their reducing sugar content which ultimately upon fermentation produces ethanol. This concept was used to enhance the production of reducing sugar from cattail (Typha latifolia) by oxalic acid (OAA) pre-treatment followed by enzymatic saccharification. Result The optimum condition of total reducing sugar released from OAA pre-treatment was found to be 22.32 mg/ml (OAA—1.2%; substrate concentration (SC)—6%; reaction time (RT)—20 min) using one variable at a time (OVAT). Enzymatic saccharification yielded 45.21 mg/ml of reducing sugar (substrate concentration (SC)—2.4%; enzymatic dosage—50 IU/g; pH 7.0; temp—50 °C) using response surface methodology (RSM). Conclusion We conclude that Typha can be used as a potential substrate for large-scale biofuel production, employing economical bioprocessing strategies.

Abstract
The effects of micro-aeration on the performance of anaerobic sequencing batch reactors (ASBR) for blackwater treatment were investigated in this study. Different micro-aeration rates, 0, 5, 10, 50, and 150 mg O2/L-reactor/cycle, and their effect on the hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and methanogenesis of blackwater were evaluated and compared at ambient temperature. Source-diverted blackwater (toilet water) contains high organic contents which can be recovered as biogas. Previous studies have found that anaerobic digestion of blackwater without micro-aeration can only recover upwards of less than 40% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) to methane at room temperature due to the low hydrolysis rate of biomass content in blackwater. This study achieved increases in blackwater hydrolysis (from 34.7% to 48.7%) and methane production (from 39.6% to 50.7%) with controlled micro-aeration (5 mg O2/L-reactor/cycle). The microbial analysis results showed that hydrolytic/fermentative bacteria and acetoclastic methanogens (e.g. Methanosaeta) were in higher abundances in low-dose micro-aeration reactors (5 and 10 mg O2/L-reactor/cycle), which facilitated syntrophic interactions between microorganisms. The relative abundance of oxygen-tolerant methanogen such as Methanosarcina greatly increased (from 1.5% to 11.4%) after oxygen injection. High oxygen dosages (50 and 150 mg O2/L-reactor/cycle) led to reduced methane production and higher accumulation of volatile fatty acids, largely due to the oxygen inhibition on methanogens and degradation of organic matters by aerobic growth and respiration, as indicated by the predicted metagenome functions. By combining reactor performance results and microbial community analyses, this study demonstrated that low-dose micro-aeration improves blackwater biomethane recovery by enhancing hydrolysis efficiency and promoting the development of a functional microbial population, while medium to high-dose micro-aeration reduced the activities of certain anaerobes. It was also observed that medium-dose micro-aeration maximizes VFA accumulation, which may be used in two-stage anaerobic digesters.

Abstract
Microalgal biomass sequestrates CO2 and is regarded as a promising renewable feedstock for anaerobic digestion because of its adequate carbohydrate content and lignin-free structure. This study optimizes the dilute-acid pretreatment of Chlorella sp. and subsequent biomethane production using response surface methodology and central composite design with temperature, pretreatment time and solid-to-liquid ratio as variables. A temperature of 64.1 °C, pretreatment time of 1.2 h, and a solid to liquid ratio of 0.29 were the optimal pretreatment conditions and resulted in a methane yield of 302.22 mL CH4/g COD and methane production rate of 110.04 mL CH4/g VSS-d. The severity factor of 1.5-1.6 was adequate to render the Chlorella sp. bioavailable for high methane recovery. The results obtained from the experiments conformed to those predicted by the model. This study effectively utilizes algal biomass for biomethane production and enables the possibility of scaled-up studies using a closed-loop approach.

Comparative Evaluation of Organic Acid Pretreatment of Eucalyptus for Kraft Dissolving Pulp Production. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13020361.

Abstract
Pretreatment is an essential process for the extensive utilization of lignocellulose materials. The effect of four common organic acid pretreatments for Kraft dissolving pulp production was comparatively investigated. It was found that under acidic conditions, hemicellulose can be effectively removed and more reducing sugars can be recovered. During acetic acid pretreatment, lignin that was dissolved in acetic acid could form a lignin-related film which would alleviate cellulose hydrolysis, while other organic acids caused severe cellulose degradation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) were used to characterize the pretreated chips in the process. Lignin droplets were attached to the surface of the treated wood chips according to the SEM results. The FTIR spectrum showed that the lignin peak signal becomes stronger, and the hemicellulose peak signal becomes weaker with acid pretreatment. The XRD spectrum demonstrated that the crystallinity index of the wood chips increased. The acetic acid pretreatment process-assisted Kraft process achieved higher yield (31.66%) and higher α-cellulose (98.28%) than any other organic acid pretreatment. Furthermore, extensive utilization of biomass was evaluated with the acetic acid pretreatment-assisted Kraft process. 43.8% polysaccharide (12.14% reducing sugar and 31.66% dissolving pulp) and 22.24% lignin (0.29% acetic acid lignin and 21.95% sulfate lignin) were recovered during the process. Biomass utilization could reach 66.04%. Acetic acid pretreatment is a promising process for extensive biomass utilization.

Abstract
Sewage sludge dewatering is an efficient approach to reduce the volume of sludge for the subsequent disposal. In this study, a novel one-step acidification sludge dewatering method was developed with using oxalic acid as a conditioner. In laboratory-scale experiments with the dosage of 200 mg/g dry solid (DS), the normalized capillary suction time and the specific resistance to filtration were respectively decreased by 78.7% and 60.0% after 30 min of oxalic acid conditioning, much more efficient than those conditioned with sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid at the same pH value. This superior dewatering performance was attributed to two factors. One was that oxalic acid could more efficiently promote the hydrolysis of polysaccharide, especially pectins, to release bound water. The other was that OA could dissolve more Fe3+ and Al3+, as well as form precipitate with Ca2+ in sludge, which may act as flocculants or co-precipitator for the subsequent sludge particles coagulation. In pilot-scale experiments, the water content of oxalic acid conditioned sludge cake was reduced to 60% under the optimum conditions, while the reagent cost was as low as 110.0 USD/t DS. This work provides a cost-effective and easy-operated sewage sludge disposal technique, and also sheds light on the potential of oxalic acid in environmental waste treatment.

Abstract
Lignocellulose biomass can be transformed into sustainable chemicals, materials and energy but its natural recalcitrance requires the use of pretreatment to enhance subsequent catalytic steps. Dilute acid pretreatment is one of the most common and efficient ones, however its impact has not yet been investigated simultaneously at nano- and cellular-scales. Poplar samples have been pretreated by dilute acid at different controlled severities, then characterized by combined structural and spectral techniques (scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, autofluorescence, fluorescence lifetime, Raman). Results show that pretreatment favours lignin depolymerization until severity of 2.4-2.5 while at severity of 2.7 lignin seems to repolymerize as revealed by broadening of autofluorescence spectrum and strong decrease in fluorescence lifetime. Importantly, both nano-scale and cellular-scale markers can predict hydrolysis yield of pretreated samples, highlighting some connections in the multiscale recalcitrance of lignocellulose.

Abstract
Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), a potential fibre crop with a desirably high growth rate, could serve as a sustainable feedstock in the production of xylitol. In this work, the extraction of soluble products of kenaf through dilute nitric-acid hydrolysis was elucidated with respect to three parameters, namely temperature, residence time, and acid concentration. The study will assist in evaluating the performance in terms of xylose recovery. The result point out that the maximum xylose yield of 30.7 g per 100 g of dry kenaf was attained from 2% (v/v) HNO3 at 130 °C for 60 min. The detoxified hydrolysate was incorporated as the primary carbon source for subsequent fermentation by recombinant Escherichia coli and the performance of strain on five different semi-synthetic media on xylitol production were evaluated herein. Among these media, batch cultivation in a basal salt medium (BSM) afforded the highest xylitol yield of 0.35 g/g based on xylose consumption, which corresponded to 92.8% substrate utilization after 38 h. Subsequently, fermentation by E. coli in the xylose-based kenaf hydrolysate supplemented with BSM resulting in 6.8 g/L xylitol which corresponding to xylitol yield of 0.38 g/g. These findings suggested that the use of kenaf as the fermentation feedstock could be advantageous for the development of sustainable xylitol production.

Abstract
Microalgal biomass was hydrolyzed using a solid acid catalyst with the aid of liquid acid. The use of solid acid as the main catalyst instead of liquid acid was to omit subsequent neutralization and/or desalination steps, which are commonly required in using the resulting hydrolysates for microbial fermentation. The hydrolysis of 10 g/L of lipid-extracted Chlorella vulgaris containing 12.2% carbohydrates using 7.6 g/L Amberlyst 36 and 0.0075 N nitric acid at 150°C resulted in 1.08 g/L of mono-sugars with a yield of 88.5%. For hydrolysis of higher concentrations of the biomass over 10 g/L, the amount of Amberlyst 36 needed to be increased in proportion to the biomass concentration to maintain similar levels of hydrolysis performance. Increasing the solid acid concentration protected the surface of the solid acid from being severely covered by cell debris during the reaction. A hydrolysate of lipid-extracted C. vulgaris 50 g/L was used, with no post-treatment of desalination, for the cultivation of Klebsiella oxytoca producing 2,3-butanediol. Cell growth in the hydrolysate was found to be almost the same as in the conventional medium with the same monosaccharide composition, confirming its fermentation compatibility. It was noticeable that the yield of 2,3-butanediol with the hydrolysate was observed to be 2.6 times higher than that with the conventional medium. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
A sequential production of levulinic acid (LA) and porous carbon material (CM) from cellulose was conducted by a two-step process. The cellulose was first acid hydrolyzed, and the preferred reaction conditions required a severity factor of 4.0⁻4.5, in which the yields of LA, formic acid, and solid residue were 38 ± 3 wt%, 17 ± 3 wt%, and 15 ± 3 wt%, respectively. The solid residue was further used for CM preparation through pyrolysis, with or without ZnCl₂ activation. The ZnCl₂ activation promoted the formation of CMs with improved thermal stability, high surface area (1184⁻2510 m²/g), and excellent phenol adsorption capacity (136⁻172 mg/g). The used CM can be easily regenerated by a simple methanol Soxhlet extraction process, and a comparable phenol adsorption capacity of 97 mg/g was maintained for the 5th reusing. Finally, 100 g cellulose produced 40.5 g LA, 18.9 g formic acid and 8.5 g porous CM, with a total carbon utilization ratio reaching 74.4%.

Abstract
In this study, enzyme adsorption properties were investigated as a function of the structural change of lignin in dilute acid pretreated biomass using oxalic and sulfuric acid catalysts under the same reaction conditions. Although the contents of glucan and lignin in the dilute acid pretreated biomass were similar regardless of the catalysts used, the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency and degree of enzyme adsorption differed considerably. The highest efficiencies were 87.79% and 96.49% for the oxalic acid and sulfuric acid catalysts, respectively. The reasons for this observation were investigated by low vacuum-scanning electron microscopy and the structural analysis of lignin. In the oxalic acid pretreated biomass, the enzyme was irreversibly adsorbed onto the lignin. The oxalic acid pretreated biomass possessed a higher content of G-type lignin than did the sulfuric acid pretreated biomass. This type of lignin has a high affinity for the enzyme, inducing irreversible enzyme adsorption onto the biomass.

Microwave-Assisted Oxalic Acid Pretreatment for the Enhancing of Enzyme Hydrolysis in the Production of Xylose and Arabinose from Bagasse. Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23040862. [PMID: 29642578 PMCID: PMC6017411 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23040862] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2018] [Revised: 03/31/2018] [Accepted: 04/04/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, highly-efficient hydrolysis of bagasse into xylose and arabinose sugars (C5 sugars) was developed by microwave-assisted oxalic acid pretreatment under mild reaction conditions. The effects of acid and hydrolysis conditions on the C5 sugar yields were discussed. The results showed that oxalic acid performed better than hydrochloric acid and maleic acid, and was a promising alternative to sulfuric acid for xylose production at the same acid concentration. The maximum yields of xylose (95.7%) and arabinose (91.5%) were achieved via the microwave-assisted oxalic acid pretreatment (120 °C, 10 min, 0.4 mol/L, solid–liquid ratio of 1:50 g/mL), indicating that almost all xylan-type hemicelluloses were released from the cell wall and hydrolyzed into C5 sugars. After pretreatment, more than 90% of the cellulose in the residual bagasse was converted to glucose (92.2%) by enzymatic hydrolysis. This approach could realize the highly-efficient hydrolysis of xylan from bagasse into C5 sugars, which would enhance the enzyme hydrolysis of treated bagasse into glucose.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic feedstock materials are the most abundant renewable bioresource material available on earth. It is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which are strongly associated with each other. Pretreatment processes are mainly involved in effective separation of these complex interlinked fractions and increase the accessibility of each individual component, thereby becoming an essential step in a broad range of applications particularly for biomass valorization. However, a major hurdle is the removal of sturdy and rugged lignin component which is highly resistant to solubilization and is also a major inhibitor for hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose. Moreover, other factors such as lignin content, crystalline, and rigid nature of cellulose, production of post-pretreatment inhibitory products and size of feed stock particle limit the digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass. This has led to extensive research in the development of various pretreatment processes. The major pretreatment methods include physical, chemical, and biological approaches. The selection of pretreatment process depends exclusively on the application. As compared to the conventional single pretreatment process, integrated processes combining two or more pretreatment techniques is beneficial in reducing the number of process operational steps besides minimizing the production of undesirable inhibitors. However, an extensive research is still required for the development of new and more efficient pretreatment processes for lignocellulosic feedstocks yielding promising results.

Study of Chemical and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulosic Material to Obtain Fermentable Sugars. J CHEM-NY 2017.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis using a factorial experimental design (23) in order to obtain fermentable sugars from cellulose-based material (CBM) usually used as pet litter. In assessing chemical hydrolysis, we studied the effect of temperature, in addition to H2SO4 concentration and reaction time, on the production of total sugars, reducing sugars, soluble lignin, carbohydrate profile, furfural (F), and hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF). We performed a response surface analysis and found that, at 100°C, 1% acid concentration, and 60 min reaction time, the yields of 0.0033 g reducing sugar/g biomass and 0.0852 g total sugars/g biomass were obtained. Under the above conditions, F is not generated, while HMF is generated in such a concentration that does not inhibit fermentation. We pretreated the CBM with H2SO4, NaOH, CaO, or ozonolysis, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the enzymatic hydrolysis from the pretreated biomass, using an enzymatic cocktail. Results showed that CBM with acid was susceptible to enzymatic attack, obtaining a concentration of 0.1570 g reducing sugars/g biomass and 0.3798 g total sugars/g biomass. We concluded that acid pretreatment was the best to obtain fermentable sugars from CBM.
