Abstract
Propionic acid (PA) hydrolysis offers a potential pathway for industrial xylooligosaccharide (XOS) production owing to efficiency and simplicity of the process. However, the cost of XOS production needs to be reduced as PA is expensive. This work proposed a strategy of mixed acids hydrolysis, replacing 20% of PA with formic acid (FA), and combined with xylanase hydrolysis to reduce production costs and increase the production of XOS from corncob. The hydrolysis of corncob using mixed FA and PA in a mass ratio of 2:8 produced 61.8% XOS. Xylanase hydrolysis of corncob residue improved XOS yield to 73.1%. Among them, the X2 + X3 yield was as high as 50.6%. Economic evaluation showed that the combined process reduced the XOS production cost by 10.8% compared to PA hydrolysis. The strategy of using FA instead of 20% PA for hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis, with high XOS and monosaccharide yields from corncob, has potential industrial promise.

Using Amaranthus green proteins as universal biosurfactant and biosorbent for effective enzymatic degradation of diverse lignocellulose residues and efficient multiple trace metals remediation of farming lands. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 406:124727. [PMID: 33310336 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2020] [Revised: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 11/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Improving biomass enzymatic saccharification is effective for crop straw utilization, whereas phytoremediation is efficient for trace metal elimination from polluted agricultural soil. Here, we found that the green proteins extracted from Amaranthus leaf tissue could act as active biosurfactant to remarkably enhance lignocellulose enzymatic saccharification for high bioethanol production examined in eight grassy and woody plants after mild chemical and green-like pretreatments were performed. Notably, this study estimated that total green proteins supply collected from one-hectare-land Amaranth plants could even lead to additional 6400-12,400 tons of bioethanol, being over 10-fold bioethanol yield higher than those of soybean seed proteins and chemical surfactant. Meanwhile, the Amaranth green proteins were characterized as a dominated biosorbent for multiple trace metals (Cd, Pb, As) adsorption, being 2.9-6 folds higher than those of its lignocellulose. The Amaranth plants were also assessed to accumulate much more trace metals than all other plants as previously examined from large-scale contaminated soils. Furthermore, the Amaranth green proteins not only effectively block lignin to release active cellulases for the mostly enhanced biomass hydrolyzes, but also efficiently involve in multiple chemical bindings with Cd, which should thus address critical issues of high-costly biomass waste utilization and low-efficient trace metal remediation.

Abstract
Centrifugation is very common in the production and treatment of lignocellulose for applications like pretreatment for enzymatic hydrolysis, but it is not certain whether it affects applications of lignocellulose and almost no one realizes this problem. This study investigated the effects of centrifugation on the characteristics and enzymatic hydrolysis of poplar fibers with high lignin content. The results showed that centrifugation inhibited the enzymatic hydrolysis of fiber, but fiber characteristics and enzymatic digestibility fluctuated with increasing centrifugation time. Centrifugation for about 15 min had the least effect on fiber properties while centrifugation for 30 min had the least effect on enzymatic hydrolysis. The water retention value was closely related to the enzymatic digestibility, but the pore characteristics and crystallinity index could not reflect the enzymatic accessibility of the fiber. This article will provide useful references for the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose and other high-value applications to improve production efficiency furtherly.

Performance targets defined by retro-techno-economic analysis for the use of soybean protein as saccharification additive in an integrated biorefinery. Sci Rep 2020; 10:7367.

Abstract
The use of additives in the enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass can have positive effects, decreasing the unproductive adsorption of cellulases on lignin and reducing the loss of enzyme activity. Soybean protein stands out as a potential lignin-blocking additive, but the economic impact of its use has not previously been investigated. Here, a systematic evaluation was performed of the process conditions, together with a techno-economic analysis, for the use of soybean protein in the saccharification of hydrothermally pretreated sugarcane bagasse in the context of an integrated 1G-2G ethanol biorefinery. Statistical experimental design methodology was firstly applied as a tool to select the process variable solids loading at 15% (w/w) and soybean protein concentration at 12% (w/w), followed by determination of enzyme dosage at 10 FPU/g and hydrolysis time of 24 h. The saccharification of sugarcane bagasse under these conditions enabled an increase of 26% in the amount of glucose released, compared to the control without additive. The retro-techno-economic analysis (RTEA) technique showed that to make the biorefinery economically feasible, some performance targets should be reached experimentally such as increasing biomass conversion to ideally 80% and reducing enzyme loading to 5.6 FPU/g in the presence of low-cost soybean protein.

Abstract
A novel pretreatment using organic acid synergism with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was developed to the co-production of oligosaccharides, especially for the functional oligosaccharides, and enhancement of corn straws enzymatic saccharification. It was found that lactic acid (Lac) pretreatment combined with choline chloride/Lac system could not only selectively convert the hemicellulose to xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), which account for 89.7% of total xylose in prehydrolysate (the functional XOS (DP < 5) took up about 35%), but also significantly promote the glucose release (33.2 g/100 g material) and well lignin separation (representing 40.9% in whole process), which better than the single organic pretreatment at higher modified severity index (SI). Structural features of various solids were characterized to better comprehend how hemicellulose and lignin removal influenced enzymatic hydrolysis. This work offered the mild and potential method to co-produce fermentable sugars with the effective separation and valorization of lignin.

Abstract
A cost efficient synergistic strategy combining mild alkaline pretreatment (0.5-5% NaOH at 70 °C for 60 min) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) blocking of lignin was evaluated for effective conversion of poplar. The highest glucose yield of 69.2% was obtained for 5% alkaline pretreated sample, which was 4.4 times that of untreated sample. The enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis was attributed to significant hemicelluloses removal with limited delignification. Delignification mainly occurred in secondary wall, leading to more open cell wall structure, thus facilitating better transport of enzyme. Hemicelluloses removal helped split adjacent microfibrils, thus increased the specific sites for cellulase binding. After BSA addition in enzymatic hydrolysis, cellulose conversion further improved to 78.4% with 33% reduction of cellulase dosage due to decreased non-specific adsorption of cellulase on residual lignin. The utilization of synergistic alkaline pretreatment - BSA strategy may improve the overall economics of biomass conversion and successful commercial implementation of biorefineries.

Abstract
A newly synthesized solid acid catalyst SO42-/SnO2-diatomite was prepared for synthesizing furfural from corncob in the presence of homogeneous Brönsted acid. The relationship between pKa of Brönsted acid and turnover frequency (TOF) of co-catalysis with Brönsted acid plus SO42-/SnO2-diatomite was explored on the conversion of corncob to furfural. HCl (pKa = -7.0) (0.5 wt%) plus SO42-/SnO2-diatomite (3.6 wt%) gave the highest furfural yield (40.1%) with TOF value at 2.98 h-1 in the aqueous media. In the γ-valerolactone-water (6:4, v:v) biphasic media containing 15 g/L ZnCl2, one-pot conversion of corncob with co-catalysts gave a furfural yield of 68.9% at 170 °C for 30 min. Additionally, an efficient SO42-/SnO2-diatomite recycling was achieved with a productivity of 15.6 g furfural/(g solid acid·day) after 5 cycles of repeated use. Clearly, this one-pot co-catalysis process has high potential application for furfural production in future.
