Biphasic pretreatment excels over conventional sulfuric acid in pinewood biorefinery: An environmental analysis. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 248:118286. [PMID: 38280524 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118286] [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: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
This study assesses the environmental impact of pine chip-based biorefinery processes, focusing on bioethanol, xylonic acid, and lignin production. A cradle-to-gate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is employed, comparing a novel biphasic pretreatment method (p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH)/pentanol, Sc-1) with conventional sulfuric acid pretreatment (H2SO4, Sc-2). The analysis spans biomass handling, pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, yeast fermentation, and distillation. Sc-1 yielded an environmental impact of 1.45E+01 kPt, predominantly affecting human health (96.55%), followed by ecosystems (3.07%) and resources (0.38%). Bioethanol, xylonic acid, and lignin contributed 32.61%, 29.28%, and 38.11% to the total environmental burdens, respectively. Sc-2 resulted in an environmental burden of 1.64E+01 kPt, with a primary impact on human health (96.56%) and smaller roles for ecosystems (3.07%) and resources (0.38%). Bioethanol, xylonic acid, and lignin contributed differently at 22.59%, 12.5%, and 64.91%, respectively. Electricity generation was predominant in both scenarios, accounting for 99.05% of the environmental impact, primarily driven by its extensive usage in biomass handling and pretreatment processes. Sc-1 demonstrated a 13.05% lower environmental impact than Sc-2 due to decreased electricity consumption and increased bioethanol and xylonic acid outputs. This study highlights the pivotal role of pretreatment methods in wood-based biorefineries and underscores the urgency of sustainable alternatives like TsOH/pentanol. Additionally, adopting greener electricity generation, advanced technologies, and process optimization are crucial for reducing the environmental footprint of waste-based biorefineries while preserving valuable bioproduct production.

Abstract
In this study, a gene encoding for acetylxylan esterase was cloned and expressed in E. coli. A single uniform band with molecular weight of 31.2 kDa was observed in SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Served as the substrate, p-nitrophenol butyrate was employed to detect the recombinant enzyme activity. It exhibited activity at a wide temperature range (30-100 °C) and pH (5.0-9.0) with the optimal temperature of 70 °C and pH 8.0. Acetylxylan esterase showed two substrates' specificities with the highest Vmax of 177.2 U/mg and Km of 20.98 mM against p-nitrophenol butyrate. Meanwhile, the Vmax of p-nitrophenol acetate was 137.0 U/mg and Km 12.16 mM. The acetic acid yield of 0.39 g/g was obtained (70 °C and pH 8.0) from wheat bran pretreated using amylase and papain. This study showed the highest yield up to date and developed a promising strategy for acetic acid production using wheat bran.

Abstract
Biomass is the ideal substitute for petrochemical resources because of its renewable and abundant sources. p-Toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) can effectively separate lignin from biomass under mild conditions, so it is highly expected in biomass fractionation to improve the utilization efficiency. In this study, we investigated the effect of p-TsOH differentiated fractionation of poplar sawdust, eucalyptus sawdust, and rice straw below 100 °C. According to the experimental results, upon pretreatment by p-TsOH of the three kinds of raw biomass, most of the lignin and hemicellulose of poplar sawdust and eucalyptus sawdust were removed, whereas the cellulose was retained, but most of the hemicellulose and cellulose of rice straw were kept, whereas the lignin was removed at similar conditions. The structures and compositions of pretreatment residues, lignin, and hemicellulose extracted from raw biomass were characterized by XRD, FTIR, HSQC-NMR, XPS, and SEM. The differentiated fractionation mechanism of biomass was analyzed. A better recognition and understanding of the factors affecting biomatrix opening and fractionation will allow for the identification of new pretreatment strategies that improve biomass utilization and permit the rational enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose.

Abstract
To date, an efficient process for manufacturing valuable furan compounds from available renewable resources has gained great attention via a chemoenzymatic route. In this study, a sulfonated tin-loaded heterogeneous catalyst CLUST-Sn-LS using lobster shell as biobased carrier was prepared to convert corncob (75.0 g/L) into furfural (122.5 mM) at 170 °C for 30 min in methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK)-H2O biphasic system (2:1, v/v). To improve furfurylamine yield, a novel recombinant E. coli TFTS harboring robust mutant Aspergillus terreus ω-transaminase [hydrophilic threonine (T) at position 130 was site-directed mutated to hydrophobic phenylalanine (F)] was constructed to transform 300-500 mM furfural into furfurylamine (90.1-93.6 % yield) at 30 °C and pH 7.5 in MIBK-H2O. Corncob was converted to furfurylamine in MIBK-H2O with a high productivity of 0.461 g furfurylamine/(g xylan). This constructed chemoenzymatic method coupling bio-based chemocatalyst CLUST-Sn-LS and mutant ω-transaminase biocatalyst in a biphasic system could efficiently convert lignocellulose into furfurylamine.

Abstract
Furfural is a vital biomass-derived platform molecule, which can be used to synthesize a wide range of value-added chemicals. Furfural and its derivatives are promising alternatives to conventional petroleum chemicals. However, recent industrial production of furfural existed some thorny problems, including low efficiency, energy waste, and environmental pollution. Therefore, tremendous and continuous efforts have been made by researchers to develop novel furfural production processes with high economic viability, production efficiency, and sustainability. This review summarized the merits and shortcomings of disparate catalytic systems for the synthesis of furfural from biomass and biomass pretreatment hydrolysate on the basis of recently published literature. Furthermore, the suggestions for furfural production research were put forward.

Abstract
Hemicelluloses were effectively separated using p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) treatment at high temperature. High temperature and pressure promoted hydrolysis of hemicellulose, which limited its value upon recovery. In this study, bagasse hemicellulose was separated and extracted by p-TsOH treatment at atmospheric pressure. The effects of temperature, p-TsOH concentration, and time on hemicellulose separation and extraction were investigated. The optimal conditions were 80 °C, 3.0% p-TsOH, and 120 min. The separation and extraction yield of hemicellulose was 73.23% and 36.02%, respectively. Extraction hemicellulose with 95.60% purity was obtained. In addition, the dissolution mechanism of hemicellulose was analyzed. Degradation of β-glycosidic bonds was inhibited. Benzyl ether bond between carbohydrates and lignin was selectively cleaved. The skeleton structure of xylan in hemicellulose was protected while the functional groups of branch chain were severely damaged. It provides a valuable theoretical basis for the efficient separation and extraction of hemicellulose.

Abstract
The effect of heat exchange area on the componential evolutions of biomass pyrolysis vapors was visualized through an innovative combining method of bio-oil composition inversion and function fitting. As the maximal diameter of condenser at 340 K increased from 35 mm to 55 mm, the fitted heat maps showed that the recovery of organics increased in the top of condenser and remained steady in the bottom, whereas the water recovery only increased in the top but decreased in the bottom. The recovery proportion of furfural and phenolic compounds increased by 20-40% with unvaried water recovery, and the content enrichment of high value-added components increased by 30-45% at 37 wt% of bio-oil yield. Heat exchange area exhibited a finer regulation effect on the condensation of pyrolysis vapors than traditional condensing adjustment methods, which first provided a remarkable promotion for the recovery and enrichment of organic components without improving water recovery.

Abstract
In recent years, lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as one of the most versatile energy sources among the research community for the production of biofuels and value-added chemicals. However, biomass pretreatment plays an important role in reducing the recalcitrant properties of lignocellulose, leading to superior quality of target products in bioenergy production. Among existing pretreatment techniques, liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment has several outstanding advantages compared to others including minimum formation of monomeric sugars, significant removal of hemicellulose, and positive environmental impacts; however, several constraints of LHW pretreatment should be clarified. This contribution aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of reaction mechanism, reactor characteristics, influencing factors, techno-economic aspects, challenges, and prospects for LHW-based biomass pretreatment. Generally, LHW pretreatment could be widely employed in bioenergy processing from biomass, but circular economy-based advanced pretreatment techniques should be further studied in the future to achieve maximum efficiency, and minimum cost and drawbacks.

Abstract
A novel experimental method based on the combination of bio-oil composition inversion and function fitting was purposed and verified for describing the componential evolution curves during the liquefaction of biomass pyrolysis vapors. The evolution curves of representative condensable components were fitted by linear and Slogistic function in the short, middle and long three condensing fields. Linear function exhibited a significant effectiveness for the description and prediction of low-boiling water and furfural and the relative deviations were no more than 5% between actual values in long condenser and predictive values from the elongation of curves in short and middle condensers. For high-boiling phenolic compounds, linear function failed to fit their evolutions in long condenser but Slogistic fitting remained effective despite the relative deviation increasing to about 10%. This investigation provided a unique and effective prediction method for the vapor evolution in industrial shell and tube heat exchanger according to laboratory-scale experiment.

Abstract
Nickel(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy, high resolution mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The complexes were evaluated as pre-catalysts in the direct hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. The pre-catalysts C1 and C4 gave higher furfural conversion (97% and 96%, respectively), as a result, they were also evaluated in the transfer hydrogenation of furfural using formic acid as the hydrogen source where higher furfural conversion (93%) was obtained and selectivity (100%) toward the formation of furfuryl alcohol at 4 h. The catalyst C1 was recycled three times with and it was observed that the catalytic activity might be due to a mixture of both molecular catalysis and nanoparticles, as evidenced by the decrease in activity in mercury poisoning experiments. The hydrogenation reactions were also extended to alpha-β unsaturated substrates and were selective toward saturation of the carbonyl functionality over alkene groups.

Abstract
Pyrolysis of furfural residue (FR) was performed at 450-850 °C by employing a fluidized bed pyrolyzer (FBP). Addition of Kaolin and Ca-bentonite to FR considerably increased the condensate yields. The highest condensate yield (24.96 wt%) was obtained at 650 °C when Ca-bentonite was added. Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectrum of pyrolysis oil (PO) indicated that catalysts promoted generation of alkene, amine, sulfate, sulfonyl chloride and oxime during pyrolysis. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) demonstrated that catalysts significantly increased the content of furfural and phenol in PO and the maximum phenol content (15.36%) was achieved in PO650-3 for CaO. The quite low relative proportion (RP) of ammonia nitrogen in liquid indicated that the dominant form of nitrogen in liquid was not ammonia nitrogen. CaO had the ability to reduce H2S release, indicating significant sulfur retention capacity. The maximum RP (99.29%) of chlorine in bio-char (BC) was observed with the addition of CaO, showing its strong chlorine retention capacity.

Abstract
In this work, we investigated the role of solid-state dealumination by (NH4)2SiF6 (25% Al removal and 13% Si insertion), the impregnation of niobium (10, 18, and 25 wt. %) on dealuminated *BEA (DB) zeolite and their catalytic properties in ethanol and xylose transformations. Among all the studied catalysts, 18%Nb-DB showed increased mesoporosity and external areas. A leveling effect in the number and strength of the proposed two sites (Brønsted and Lewis) present in the catalyst (n1 = 0.24 mmol g-1, -ΔH1 = 49 kJ mol-1, and n2 = 0.20 mmol g-1, -ΔH2 = 42 kJ mol-1) in the catalyst 18%Nb-DB, might be responsible for its good activity. This catalyst presented the highest selectivity for diethyl ether, DEE (97%) with 61% conversion after 50 ethanol pulses at 230 °C (turnover number, TON DEE = 1.15). These features allowed catalytically fruitful bonding of the ethanol molecules to the neighboring sites on the channels, facilitating bimolecular ether formation through a possible SN2 mechanism. The same catalyst was active and selective for transformation of xylose at 180 °C, showing 64% conversion and 51% selectivity for furfural (TON Furfural = 24.7) using water as a green solvent.

Abstract
Biovalorization of pulp and paper activated sludge to value-added products could be an effective alternative to traditional sludge management methods, which tend to pose serious environmental issues. Since pulp and paper activated sludge consists of microbial biomass, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin and thus, could be subjected to different hydrolysis methods to solubilize sludge solids and release simple sugars to form value-added products by the microbial fermentation process. Hence, different sludge hydrolysis methods have been summarized in this review paper. However, hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials generates variety of toxic compounds during hydrolysis and causes detrimental effects. Therefore, different toxic compounds and their impact on microorganisms, cellulolytic enzymes and fermentation process have been discussed in detail and recent strategies to counteract the problems of inhibitors have also been briefly explained.

Abstract
As a by-product of lignocellulosic depolymerization for furfural production, furfural residue (FR) is composed of residual cellulose, lignin, humic acid, and other small amounts of materials, which have high reuse value. However, due to the limitation of furfural production scale and production technology, the treatment of FR has many problems such as high yield, concentrated stacking, strong acidity, and difficult degradation. This leads to the limited treatment methods and high treatment cost of furfural residue. At present, most of the furfural enterprises can only be piled up at will, buried in soil, or directly burned. The air, soil, and rivers are polluted and the ecological balance is destroyed. Therefore, how to deal with furfural residue reasonably needs to be solved. In this review, value-added products for furfural residue conversion are described in detail in the fields of soil culture, catalytic hydrolysis, thermal decomposition, and porous adsorption. The future studies reporting the FR to convert value-added products could find guidance from this review to achieve specific goals.

Abstract
Efficient conversion of dilute-oxalic acid pretreated bagasse hydrolysate to furfural was developed using recyclable ironic phosphates (FePO4) catalysts in the modified heterogeneous system. The effects of reaction conditions on the furfural yields were investigated, and the stability and water solubility of catalysts were evaluated. Results showed that the maximum furfural yield of 88.7% was obtained in the modified biphasic system by FePO4 catalysts at 190 °C for 120 min. The catalyst could be recycled and reused in conversion of the xylose-rich hydrolysate into furfural due to the unique feature that the catalyst showed solid state at room temperature and could be gradually dissolved into the aqueous phase upon increasing the reaction temperature and time. The experiments of five-time recycles showed that the FePO4 catalyst exhibited excellent stability and catalytic performances.

Abstract
The effect of condensing temperature on composition of bio-oil obtained via fractional condensation was investigated by pyrolysis-condensation experiments of walnut shells at condensing temperatures from 290 K to 370 K. The condensing efficiency of the first stage condenser decreased from 0.59 to 0.12 with increasing temperature. Moisture of bio-oil decreased from 40% to 5%, but the C/O ratio increased from 0.50 to 1.50. Compared with contents observed at the lowest condensation temperature, the maximum content of each component increased by 50%-500%. Combined with variations in condensing efficiency and composition content, the optimum condensing temperature range for declining water in bio-oil was 340-350 K. The condensing temperature associated with the enrichment of acetic acid and furfural was 345 K. The 355 K optimum condensing temperature could be selected to achieve the maximum enrichment of guaiacol and its derivatives.

Abstract
This study provided a detailed observation on hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of Chinese fan palm. The heating value and chemical exergy was calculated. As the reaction severity increased, both heating value (18.84-27.61 MJ/kg) and chemical exergy (21.07-29.06 MJ/kg) had increase trend. The effect of temperature on HTC process was more significant than residence time. Due to the dehydration and decarboxylation, the O/C and H/C atomic ratios decreased gradually. However, the N/C ratio was not linear change. When the temperature was 240 °C, and reaction time was above 60 min, the fuel properties of hydrochar were close to lignite. The water uptake rate (7.22-3.59%) also had very decreased trend. The SEM and XRD analysis showed the surface morphology of hydrochar treated at 240 °C much differed from that of raw sample, the structure is partially destructed. Combustion characteristics of CFP and hydrochar was detected, the 180-60 had optimal combustion characteristics.

Abstract
A transformation route was developed for the conversion of raw corncob into furfural by a Clbearing solid acid catalyst (HSCSO3H) prepared by the hydrothermal carbonization and sulfonation of sucralose. The catalytic performances of HSCSO3H in selected solvents were demonstrated and optimized, where a furfural yield of 90.8 mol% (20.9 wt%) was achieved at 448 K in 30 min in γ-valerolactone/water system. Interestingly, significant furfural yields were also obtained from cellulose. The effect of elevated temperature on furfural yield from high initial feedstock loading was also investigated. HSCSO3H with COOH, phenolicOH, and Cl as binding sites and SO3H as the catalytic site on its surface presents a bifunctional catalyst, and synergic effects of these functional groups, reaction solvent property and temperature are made responsible for the good catalytic performances. The catalytic strategy proposed in this study demonstrated an effective transformation of corncob into furfural with a high yield.

Abstract
The need to pre-treat lignocellulosic biomass prior to dark fermentation results primarily from the composition of lignocellulose because lignin hinders the processing of hard wood towards useful products. Hence, in this work a two-step approach for the pre-treatment of energy poplar, including alkaline pre-treatment and enzymatic saccharification followed by fermentation has been studied. Monoethanolamine (MEA) was used as the alkaline catalyst and diatomite immobilized bed enzymes were used during saccharification. The response surface methodology (RSM) method was used to determine the optimal alkaline pre-treatment conditions resulting in the highest values of both total released sugars (TRS) yield and degree of lignin removal. Three variable parameters (temperature, MEA concentration, time) were selected to optimize the alkaline pre-treatment conditions. The research was carried out using the Box-Behnken design. Additionally, the possibility of the re-use of both alkaline as well as enzymatic reagents was investigated. Obtained hydrolysates were subjected to dark fermentation in batch reactors performed by Enterobacter aerogenes ATCC 13048 with a final result of 22.99 mL H₂/g energy poplar (0.6 mol H₂/mol TRS).

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable resource that potentially contains large amounts of energy. It is an interesting alternative for fossil fuels, allowing the production of biofuels and other organic compounds. In this paper, a review devoted to the processing of lignocellulosic materials as substrates for fermentation processes is presented. The review focuses on physical, chemical, physicochemical, enzymatic, and microbiologic methods of biomass pretreatment. In addition to the evaluation of the mentioned methods, the aim of the paper is to understand the possibilities of the biomass pretreatment and their influence on the efficiency of biofuels and organic compounds production. The effects of different pretreatment methods on the lignocellulosic biomass structure are described along with a discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of each method, including the potential generation of inhibitory compounds for enzymatic hydrolysis, the effect on cellulose digestibility, the generation of compounds that are toxic for the environment, and energy and economic demand. The results of the investigations imply that only the stepwise pretreatment procedure may ensure effective fermentation of the lignocellulosic biomass. Pretreatment step is still a challenge for obtaining cost-effective and competitive technology for large-scale conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars with low inhibitory concentration.

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.

Abstract
In this study, chemo-enzymatic synthesis of furfuralcohol from biomass-derived xylose was successfully demonstrated by a sequential acid-catalyzed dehydration under microwave and whole-cells reduction. After dry dewaxed chestnut shells (CNS, 75 g/L) was acid-hydrolyzed with dilute oxalic acid (0.5 wt%) at 140 °C for 40 min, the obtained CNS-derived xylose (17.9 g/L xylose) could be converted to furfural at 78.8% yield with solid acid SO42-/SnO2-Attapulgite (2.0 wt% catalyst loading) in the dibutyl phthalate-water (1:1, v:v) under microwave (600 W) at 180 °C for 10 min. In the dibutyl phthalate-water (1:1, v/v) media at 30 °C and pH 6.5, the furfural liquor (47.0 mM furfural) was biologically converted to furfuralcohol by recombinant Escherichia coli CCZU-Y10 whole-cells harboring an NADH-dependent reductase (PgCR) without extra addition of NAD+ and glucose, and furfural was completely converted to furfuralcohol after 2.5 h. Clearly, this one-pot synthesis strategy can be effectively used for furfuralcohol production.

Abstract
High yields of furfural (>90 %) were achieved from xylose dehydration in a sustainable solvent system composed of γ-valerolactone (GVL), a biomass derived solvent, and water. It is identified that high reaction temperatures (e.g., 498 K) are required to achieve high furfural yield. Additionally, it is shown that the furfural yield at these temperatures is independent of the initial xylose concentration, and high furfural yield is obtained for industrially relevant xylose concentrations (10 wt %). A reaction kinetics model is developed to describe the experimental data obtained with solvent system composed of 80 wt % GVL and 20 wt % water across the range of reaction conditions studied (473-523 K, 1-10 mm acid catalyst, 66-660 mm xylose concentration). The kinetic model demonstrates that furfural loss owing to bimolecular condensation of xylose and furfural is minimized at elevated temperature, whereas carbon loss owing to xylose degradation increases with increasing temperature. Accordingly, the optimal temperature range for xylose dehydration to furfural in the GVL/H2 O solvent system is identified to be from 480 to 500 K. Under these reaction conditions, furfural yield of 93 % is achieved at 97 % xylan conversion from lignocellulosic biomass (maple wood).

Abstract
Biochar samples with controllable specific surface area and mesopore ratio were self-activated from furfural residues by recycled pyrolysis gas. The objective of this study was to develop a new cyclic utilization method for the gas produced by pyrolysis. The influences of preparation parameters on the resulting biochar were studied by varying the pyrolysis-gas flow rate, activation time and temperature. Structural characterization of the produced biochar was performed by analysis of nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The pyrolysis gas compositions before and after activation were determined by a gas chromatograph. The results indicated that the surface area of the biochar was increased from 167 m2/g to 567 m2/g, the total pore volume increased from 0.121 cm3/g to 0.380 cm3/g, and the ratio of the mesopore pore volume to the total pore volume increased 17-39.7%. The CO volume fraction of the pyrolysis gas changed from 34.66 to 62.29% and the CO2 volume fraction decreased from 48.26% to 12.17% under different conditions of pyrolysis-gas flow rate, activation time and temperature. The calorific values of pyrolysis gas changed from 8.82 J/cm3 to 14.00 J/cm3, which were higher than those of conventional pyrolysis gases. The slower pyrolysis-gas flow rate and higher activation time increased the efficiency of the reaction between carbon and pyrolysis gas. These results demonstrated the feasibility of treatment of the furfural residues to produce microporous and mesoporous biochar. The pyrolysis gas that results from the activation process could be used as fuel. Overall, this new self-activation method meets the development requirements of cyclic economy and cleaner production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dilute oxalic acid pretreatment has drawn much attention because it could selectively hydrolyse the hemicellulose fraction during lignocellulose pretreatment. However, there are few studies focusing on the recovery of oxalic acid. Here, we reported a new approach to recycle oxalic acid used in pretreatment via ethanol extraction. RESULTS The highest xylose content in hydrolysate was 266.70 mg xylose per 1 g corncob (85.0% yield), which was achieved using 150 mmol/L oxalic acid under the optimized treatment condition (140 °C, 2.5 h). These pretreatment conditions were employed to the subsequent pretreatment using recycled oxalic acid. Oxalic acid in the hydrolysate could be recycled according to the following steps: (1) water was removed via evaporation and vacuum drying, (2) ethanol was used to extract oxalic acid in the remaining mixture, and (3) oxalic acid and ethanol were separated by reduced pressure evaporation. The total xylose yields could be stabilized by intermittent adding oxalic acid, and the yields were in range of 46.7-64.3% in this experiment. CONCLUSIONS This sustainable approach of recycling and reuse of oxalic acid has a significant potential application for replacing traditional dilute mineral acid pretreatment of lignocellulose, which could contribute to reduce CO2 emissions and the cost of the pretreatment.
