Subagyo R, Diakana AR, Anindika GR, Akhlus S, Juwono H, Zhang L, Arramel, Kusumawati Y. Modification of Sugar Cane Bagasse with CTAB and ZnO for Methyl Orange and Methylene Blue Removal. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:25251-25264. [PMID: 38882161 PMCID: PMC11170691 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c02938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Sugar cane bagasse (SB) was modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), followed by impregnation with zinc oxide (ZnO) to create a synergistic adsorption and photocatalytic system for methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) removal. The presence of CTAB and ZnO was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, and energy dispersive X-ray (for Zn and O). Modification of SB with CTAB (CSB) generated more positive sites on the surface of SB, which enhanced MO removal compared with that of pristine SB. ZnO impregnation induces a decrease in MO removal due to the ZnO presence on the CSB surface, which might reduce the positive sites on the CSB. In addition, the positive sites on CSB can interact with Zn2+ and O2- to form ZnO and lead to a decrease in MO removal. In contrast, the presence of ZnO facilitated good removal of MB compared to CSB, indicating that the photocatalytic process plays a greater role in removing MB. However, the addition of H2O2 can improve MO and MB removal under irradiation due to the formation of external •OH. The photocatalytic performance of MO and MB was also observed to be favored under acidic and alkaline conditions, respectively.

Abstract
The hydrolysis and biotransformation of lignocellulose, i.e., biorefinery, can provide human beings with biofuels, bio-based chemicals, and materials, and is an important technology to solve the fossil energy crisis and promote global sustainable development. Biorefinery involves steps such as pretreatment, saccharification, and fermentation, and researchers have developed a variety of biorefinery strategies to optimize the process and reduce process costs in recent years. Lignocellulosic hydrolysates are platforms that connect the saccharification process and downstream fermentation. The hydrolysate composition is closely related to biomass raw materials, the pretreatment process, and the choice of biorefining strategies, and provides not only nutrients but also possible inhibitors for downstream fermentation. In this review, we summarized the effects of each stage of lignocellulosic biorefinery on nutrients and possible inhibitors, analyzed the huge differences in nutrient retention and inhibitor generation among various biorefinery strategies, and emphasized that all steps in lignocellulose biorefinery need to be considered comprehensively to achieve maximum nutrient retention and optimal control of inhibitors at low cost, to provide a reference for the development of biomass energy and chemicals.

Abstract
Globally, the demands for sustainably sourced functional foods like prebiotic oligosaccharides have been constantly increasing. This study assessed the potential of pineapple leaves (PL) as lignocellulosic feedstock for sustainable production of cellulose and hemicellulose-derived oligosaccharides through its hydrothermal pretreatment (HT) followed by controlled enzymatic hydrolysis. PL was subjected to HT at 160, 175, and 190 °C for 20, 30, 60, and 90 min without any catalyst for xylooligosaccharide (XOS) production, whereas, the resulting solid content after HT was subjected to controlled enzymatic hydrolysis by commercial cellulase using conduritol B epoxide (0.5-5 mM) for glucooligosaccharides (GOS) production. HT at 160 °C for 60 min resulted in maximum yield of XOS and GOS at 23.7 and 18.3 %, respectively, in the liquid phase. Controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of HT treated (160 °C) PL solids for 20 and 30 min yielded ∼ 174 mg cellobiose/g dry biomass within 24 h, indicating overall high oligosaccharide production.

Abstract
It is believed that hemicellulose plays a crucial role in binding cellulose and lignin in plant cells. It may provide significant implications through figuring out the interaction between hemicellulose and microfibers and gaining insights how the structure of hemicellulose affects its association with cellulose nanofibers. Herein, the hemicellulose and nanocellulose fractions from pulps obtained by controlling the H-factors of kraft pulping process were quantitatively evaluated for their adsorption behavior using QCM-D. The results showed that harsher cooking (corresponding to high H-factor) significantly affected the chemical composition of hemicellulose, leading to a decrease of its molecular weight and gradually turning it into a linear structure. Hemicellulose possesses a strong natural affinity for CNC-coated sensors. The hemicellulose from the pulp cooked by high H-factor process decreases its ability to adsorb onto nanocellulose, the adsorption rate also slows down, and the conformation of the adsorbed layer changes which makes the binding weak and reversible. In conclusion, the pulping process in high H-factor significantly changed the structure of hemicellulose, leading to a variation in the strength of its interaction with nanocellulose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemicellulose extraction from lignocellulosic biomasses has gained interest over the years, and hydrothermal treatment is one of the most common methods employed for this purpose. This work aimed to deeply study hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) shells as a new source of dietary fibre, evaluating the effect of hydrothermal treatment temperatures on the type and structure of fibre extracted, but also on the formation of side-products derived from lignocellulose degradation. RESULTS Different process temperatures led to diverse polysaccharides in the hydrothermal extract. Pectin was identified for the first time in hazelnut shells when experimenting with extraction at 125 °C, whereas at 150 °C a heterogeneous mixture of pectin, xylan, and xylo-oligosaccharides was present. The highest yield in terms of total fibre was gained at 150 and 175 °C, and then decreased again at 200 °C. Finally, more than 500 compounds from different chemical classes were putatively identified and they appeared to be present in the extracted fibre with a different distribution and relative amount, depending on the heat treatment severity. A generally high content of phenols, phenyls, oligosaccharides, dehydro-sugars, and furans was observed. CONCLUSIONS Modulation of the hydrothermal treatment temperature allows fibre extracts with very different compositions, and therefore different potential end uses, to be obtained from hazelnut shells. A sequential temperature-based fractionation approach, as a function of the severity of the extraction parameters, can also be considered. Nevertheless, the study of the side-compounds formed from lignocellulosic matrix degradation, as a function of the applied temperature, needs to be fully addressed for a safe introduction of the fibre extract within the food chain. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Urbanization has driven the demand for fossil fuels, however, the overly exploited resource has caused severe damage on environmental pollution. Biorefining using abundant lignocellulosic biomass is an emerging strategy to replace traditional fossil fuels. Value-added lignin biomass reduces the waste pollution in the environment and provides a green path of conversion to obtain renewable resources. The technology is designed to produce biofuels, biomaterials and value-added products from lignocellulosic biomass. In the biorefinery process, the pretreatment step is required to reduce the recalcitrant structure of lignocellulose biomass and improve the enzymatic digestion. There is still a gap in the full and deep understanding of the biorefinery process including the pretreatment process, thus it is necessary to provide optimized and adapted biorefinery solutions to cope with the conversion process in different biorefineries to further provide efficiency in industrial applications. Current research progress on value-added applications of lignocellulosic biomass still stagnates at the biofuel phase, and there is a lack of comprehensive discussion of emerging potential applications. This review article explores the advantages, disadvantages and properties of pretreatment methods including physical, chemical, physico-chemical and biological pretreatment methods. Value-added bioproducts produced from lignocellulosic biomass were comprehensively evaluated in terms of encompassing biochemical products , cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, potent functional materials from cellulose and lignin, waste management alternatives, multifunctional carbon materials and eco-friendly products. This review article critically identifies research-related to sustainability of lignocellulosic biomass to promote the development of green chemistry and to facilitate the refinement of high-value, environmentally-friendly materials. In addition, to align commercialized practice of lignocellulosic biomass application towards the 21st century, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of lignocellulosic biomass biorefining and the utilization of biorefinery green technologies is further analyzed as being considered sustainable, including having potential benefits in terms of environmental, economic and social impacts. This facilitates sustainability options for biorefinery processes by providing policy makers with intuitive evaluation and guidance.

Abstract
Glycoconjugates are the ubiquitous components of mammalian cells, mainly synthesized by covalent bonds of carbohydrates to other biomolecules such as proteins and lipids, with a wide range of potential applications in novel vaccines, therapeutic peptides and antibodies (Ab). Considering the emerging developments in glycoscience, renewable production of glycoconjugates is of importance and lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is a potential source of carbohydrates to produce synthetic glycoconjugates in a sustainable pathway. In this review, recent advances in glycobiology aiming on glycoconjugates production is presented together with the recent and cutting-edge advances in the therapeutic properties and application of glycoconjugates, including therapeutic glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and nutraceuticals, emphasizing the integral role of glycosylation in their function and efficacy. Special emphasis is given towards the potential exploration of carbon neutral feedstocks, in which LCB has an emerging role. Techniques for extraction and recovery of mono- and oligosaccharides from LCB are critically discussed and influence of the heterogeneous nature of the feedstocks and different methods for recovery of these sugars in the development of the customized glycoconjugates is explored. Although reports on the use of LCB for the production of glycoconjugates are scarce, this review sets clear that the potential of LCB as a source for the production of valuable glycoconjugates cannot be underestimated and encourages that future research should focus on refining the existing methodologies and exploring new approaches to fully realize the potential of LCB in glycoconjugate production.

Abstract
The transition to renewable energy sources is crucial to ensure a sustainable future. Although the sugar and ethanol industries benefit from this transition, there are untapped opportunities to utilize the waste generated from the sugar and ethanol process chains through two-stage anaerobic digestion (TSAD). This review comprehensively discusses the utilization of various sugarcane-based industrial wastes by TSAD for sequential biohydrogen and methane production. Factors influencing TSAD process performance, including pH, temperature, hydraulic retention time, volatile fatty acids and alkalinity, nutrient imbalance, microbial population, and inhibitors, were discussed in detail. The potential of TSAD to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases is demonstrated. Recent findings, implications, and promising future research related to TSAD, including the integration of meta-omics approaches, gene manipulation and bioaugmentation, and application of artificial intelligence, are highlighted. The review can serve as important literature for the implementation, improvement, and advancements in TSAD research.

Sugarcane wastes as microbial feedstocks: A review of the biorefinery framework from resource recovery to production of value-added products. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 376:128879.

Abstract
Sugarcane industry is a major agricultural sector capable of producing sugars with byproducts including straw, bagasse, and molasses. Sugarcane byproducts are no longer wastes since they can be converted into carbon-rich resources for biorefinery if pretreatment of these is well established. Considerable efforts have been devoted to effective pretreatment techniques for each sugarcane byproduct to supply feedstocks in microbial fermentation to produce value-added fuels, chemicals, and polymers. These value-added chains, which start with low-value industrial wastes and end with high-value products, can make sugarcane-based biorefinery a more viable option for the modern chemical industry. In this review, recent advances in sugarcane valorization techniques are presented, ranging from sugarcane processing, pretreatment, and microbial production of value-added products. Three lucrative products, ethanol, 2,3-butanediol, and polyhydroxyalkanoates, whose production from sugarcane wastes has been widely researched, are being explored. Future studies and development in sugarcane waste biorefinery are discussed to overcome the challenges remaining.

Abstract
Due to cotton's declining sustainability, more lignocellulosic materials are being used to produce dissolving pulp for textile applications. Pre-hydrolysis kraft is one of the main processes used to produce this material. Pre-hydrolysis under conventional conditions removes most of the hemicelluloses, but the majority end up as xylose and furfural, traditionally burned in a recovery boiler. The xylooligosaccharides (XOS), derived from hemicelluloses are a specialty product and can be recovered but requires adapted operative conditions. Thus, the objective was to recover XOS and evaluate the effect of pre-hydrolysis conditions on the final pulp characteristics. A flow-through reactor (FTR) was used to study the pre-hydrolysis, which allowed for modification of the retention time of the xylan in the free liquor after extraction from wood. The results have shown that by changing the fluid retention time in the pre-hydrolysis, the proportion of XOS/xylose/furfural recovered can be strongly changed. The hemicellulose content of the dissolving pulp decreased from 6.8% to about 2.6% using the FTR pretreatment.

Abstract
Relatively few studies have addressed the characterization of sugarcane straw (SCS) for production of fermentable sugars through enzyme hydrolysis. Straw is a major co-product of the sugarcane harvest in Brazil that has potential to sustainably increase cellulosic feedstocks in Brazil by 50%. Pretreatment of 10% w/v straw with liquid hot water (LHW) at 180 °C for 50 min (severity, So, of 4.05), solubilizes hemicellulose, preserves glucan, and generates 4.49 g/L soluble phenolic compounds in the resulting liquid. Extracts from washing pretreated solids with excess hot water followed by acetone resulted in 1.10 and 0.83 g/L phenolics, respectively. Acetone-derived extracts were more inhibitory and decreased glucose yield for enzyme hydrolysis of Solka Floc (a lignin-free cellulose) by 42%. In comparison, pretreated straw washed with hot water or acetone was readily hydrolyzed to 92% and 97% by cellulase enzyme. Hydrothermally treated SCS has the potential to provide a valuable and added source of fermentable sugars suitable for bioprocessing into biofuels and bioproducts when cellulase enzyme inhibitors are removed after pretreatment.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH. PART A, TOXIC/HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING 2023; 58:116-126. [PMID: 36760213 DOI: 10.1080/10934529.2023.2176092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Energy recovery from biowaste is of high significance for a sustainable society. Herein, hydrothermal treatment (HT) was applied to valorize pig manure digestate. The effects of hydrothermal operational parameters, including temperature (130-250 °C), residence time (15-90 min), and total solid (TS) concentration (10%-20%), on reducing sugar yield were investigated in this study. Among them, hydrothermal temperature was identified as the most important factor influencing reducing sugar yield, followed by the TS concentration and time. The optimal hydrothermal conditions for the pig manure digestate were 175.6 °C, 35.4 min and a TS concentration of 10% with a reduced sugar yield of 9.81 mg gTS-1. The addition of hydrolysate could enhance methane production by 21.6-50.4% from the anaerobic digestion of pig manure than that without the hydrolysate addition. After HT, the hygienic quality, including fecal coliform number and ascaris egg mortality, was improved in the residual digestate. Antibiotics such as sulfamonomethoxine, oxytetracycline, doxycycline and sulfaclodazine in the pig manure digestate were decomposed during HT and decreased environmental risk. These findings indicated that the hydrothermal process might be an effective technique to recover energy from the digestate of livestock and poultry manure and to improve the residual digestate for subsequent utilization.

Abstract
Biomass pretreatment is an essential strategy to overcome biomass recalcitrance and promote lignocellulosic bioconversion. Here, a reusable organic solvent system (formic acid-methanesulfonic acid) was explored to pretreat poplar under a mild temperature (below 100 °C). The results showed that the co-solvent system could extract basically complete hemicelluloses and part of lignin with original cellulose retained in the pretreated substrates. Meanwhile, sulfonic acid groups were introduced into lignin structure remained in the substrates. The glucose conversion yield of the substrates with a higher concentration of sulfonic acid groups (13.2 mmol/kg) reached 45.9 % by reducing the hydrophobic interaction between lignin and cellulase, showing 89.3 % improvement compared with that of the substrates treated with single formic acid. This progressive study aimed to develop a new strategy to realize sulfonation and promote enzymatic hydrolysis of substrates by using mild organic solvent pretreatment.

Abstract
Recently, the world is experiencing a shift from petroleum refineries to biorefineries due to fossil fuel depletion and environmental concerns. To achieve sustainable development of biorefineries and other components of the biofuel production process, eco-friendly and cost-effective approaches are necessary. Therefore, lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) must be exploited in biorefineries for the generation of a broad spectrum of products. The complex structure of LCB prevents its direct saccharification by enzymatic means, so pretreatment is necessary. There are several pretreatment technologies for disrupting the lignocellulosic structure, but hydrothermal pretreatment is the leading pretreatment technology for recovering hemicellulose fraction with a low number of inhibitors and an increased amount of cellulose. The severity of hydrothermal pretreatment plays a principal role in affecting cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin structure. A detailed account of microwave-assisted hydrothermal pretreatment technologies and the cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and upcoming challenges of this technology for commercialization with the probable solution is presented.

Abstract
The competitive reactions of lignocellulose hydrolysis and monosaccharide degradation in the subcritical water (SCW) hydrolysis of coconut husk were investigated to optimize the reducing sugar yield. Optimization analysis was performed by response surface methodology (RSM) and kinetics studies. Parameters of process optimization were varied at 130-170 °C for 15-45 min. The reducing sugars were measured using the Dinitro salicylic acid method. The sugar yield increased when the temperature increased from 130 °C to 170 °C. The highest reduction sugar yield of 4.946 g/L was obtained at 183.6 °C for 4.8 min and 23.4 liquid/solid ratio (LSR). Kinetics studies were carried out at temperature variations of 150, 170, and 190 °C and pressures of 60, 80, and 100 bar for 5 to 60 min. The yield of reducing sugar decreased with increasing temperature. The kinetic model 2B is the best method to explain the competitive reaction kinetics of coconut husk hydrolysis. This research is an innovation to increase the reducing sugar to make the process more commercially viable. Copyright © 2022 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract
The depletion of fossil fuels is resulting in an increased energy crisis, which is leading the paradigm shift towards alternative energy resources to overcome the issue. Lignocellulosic biomass or agricultural residue could be utilized to produce energy fuel (bioethanol) as it can resolve the issue of energy crisis and reduce environmental pollution that occurs due to waste generation from agriculture and food industries. A huge amount of sorghum distillery residue (SDR) is produced during the Kaoliang liquor production process, which may cause environmental problems. Therefore, the SDR generated can be utilized to produce bioethanol to meet current energy demands and resolve environmental problems. Using a central composite experimental design, the SDR was subjected to hydrothermal pretreatment. The conditions selected for hydrothermal pretreatment are 155 °C, 170 °C, and 185 °C for 10, 30, and 50 min, respectively. Based on the analysis, 150 °C for 30 min conditions for SDR hydrothermal pretreatment were selected as no dehydration product (Furfural and HMF) was detected in the liquid phase. Therefore, the pretreated slurry obtained using hydrothermal pretreatment at 150 °C for 30 min was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis at 5% solid loading and 15 FPU/gds. The saccharification yield obtained at 72 h was 75.05 ± 0.5%, and 5.33 g/L glucose concentration. This non-conventional way of enzymatic hydrolysis eliminates the separation and detoxification process, favoring the concept of an economical and easy operational strategy in terms of biorefinery.

Exploring the Valorization of Buckwheat Waste: A Two-Stage Thermo-Chemical Process for the Production of Saccharides and Biochar. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
To realize the utilization of the valorization of buckwheat waste (BW), a two-stage thermal-chemical process was explored and evaluated to produce saccharides and biochar. During the first stage, BW underwent a hydrothermal extraction (HTE) of varying severity to explore the feasibility of saccharides production; then, the sum of saccharides yields in the liquid sample were compared. A higher sum of saccharides yields of 4.10% was obtained at a relatively lower severity factor (SF) of 3.24 with a byproducts yield of 1.92 %. During the second stage, the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin were analyzed in the residue after HTE. Enzymatic hydrolysis from the residue of HTE was inhibited. Thus, enzymatic hydrolysis for saccharides is not suitable for utilizing the residue after HTE of BW. These residues with an SF of 3.24 were treated by pyrolysis to produce biochar, providing a higher biochar yield of 34.45 % and a higher adsorption ability (based on methyl orange) of 31.11 % compared with pyrolysis of the raw BW. Meanwhile, the surface morphology and biomass conversion were analyzed in this study. These results demonstrate that the two-stage thermal-chemical process is efficient for treating BW and producing saccharides and biochar. This work lays a foundation for the industrial application of BW, and for improving the economic benefits of buckwheat cultivation.

Abstract
Lignin-containing nanocelluloses (LNCs) have attracted tremendous research interest in recent years due to less complex extraction processes and more abundant functionality compared to lignin-free nanocelluloses. On the other hand, traditional defibrillation primarily based on bleached pulp would not be readily applied to lignin-containing pulps due to their complex compositions. This study was focused on LNC extraction from lignin-containing pulp via 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation. Three types of switchgrass pulp with varying composition were prepared using different acid-catalyzed pretreatments. The pulps contained as high as 45.76% lignin but minor/no hemicellulose, corresponding to up to 23.72% lignin removal and 63.75-100% hemicellulose removal. TEMPO-mediated oxidation yielded 52.9-81.9% LNCs from respective pulps. The as-produced LNCs possessed aspect ratios as high as 416.5, and carboxyl contents of 0.442-0.743 mmol g-1 along with ζ-potential of -50.4 to -38.3 mV. The TEMPO-oxidized LNCs were further modified by polyethylenimine (PEI), which endowed the LNCs with positive charges plus antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Specifically, the PEI-modified LNCs almost fully scavenged 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radicals at 50 mg L-1 and suppressed the growth of Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus at 250 μg mL-1.

Abstract
This study investigated the production of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) from sugarcane straw (SCS) using steam explosion (SE) pretreatment at pilot-scale, as well as co-production of fermentable sugars and lignin-rich residues for bioethanol and bioenergy, respectively. SE conditions 200 °C; 15 bar; 10 min led to 1) soluble XOS yields of up to 35 % (w/w) of initial xylan with ∼50 % of the recovered XOS corresponding to xylobiose and xylotriose, considered the most valuable sugars for prebiotic applications; 2) fermentable glucose yields from the enzymatic hydrolysis of SE-pretreated SCS of up to ∼78 %; 3) increase in the energy content of saccharified SCS residues (16 %) compared to the untreated material. From an integrated biorefinery perspective, it demonstrated the potential use of SCS for the production of value-added XOS ingredients as well as liquid and solid biofuel products.

Abstract
This work presents a dynamic view of the enzymatic degradation of maize cell walls, and sheds new light on the recalcitrance of hot water pretreated maize stem internodes. Infra-red microspectrometry, mass spectrometry, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and fluorescence imaging were combined to investigate enzymatic hydrolysis at the cell scale. Depending on their polymer composition and organisation, cell types exhibits different extent and rate of enzymatic degradation. Enzymes act sequentially from the cell walls rich in accessible cellulose to the most recalcitrant cells. This phenomenon can be linked to the heterogeneous distribution of enzymes in the liquid medium and the adsorption/desorption mechanisms that differ with the type of cell.

Abstract
Effective fractionation of lignocellulosic biocomponents of lignocellulosic biomass can increase its utilization in anaerobic digestion for high yield biomethane production. A hydrothermal process was optimized and integrated with a deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment to preferentially fractionate hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin in rice straw. The optimized hydrothermal process resulted in 96% hemicellulose solubilization at moderately low combined pretreatment severity (log S = 2.26), allowing increased hemicellulosic sugar recovery with minimal formation of inhibitory byproducts. Subsequent DES pretreatment resulted in highly bioaccessible cellulosic pulp, removing 81.3% of lignin that can be recovered and converted into value-added products. Anaerobic digestion of hemicellulosic fraction and cellulosic pulp using a microbial methanogenic consortium seed acclimatized to the lignocellulosic inhibitors resulted in a 33.4% higher yield of methane (467.84 mL g-1 VSinitial) than with anaerobic digester sludge seed. This integrated approach can facilitate and maximize the targeted utilization of different biocomponents through sustainable biorefining.

Abstract
The high dependence on crude oil for energy utilization leads to a necessity of finding alternative sustainable resources. Solvents are often employed in valorizing the biomass into bioproducts and other value-added chemicals during treatment stages. Unfortunately, despite the effectiveness of conventional solvents, hindrances such as expensive solvents, unfavourable environmental ramifications, and complicated downstream separation systems often occur. Therefore, the scientific community has been actively investigating more cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternatives and possess the excellent dissolving capability for biomass processing. Generally, 'green' solvents are attractive due to their low toxicity, economic value, and biodegradability. Nonetheless, green solvents are not without disadvantages due to their complicated product recovery, recyclability, and high operational cost. This review summarizes and evaluates the recent contributions, including potential advantages, challenges, and drawbacks of green solvents, namely ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, water, biomass-derived solvents and carbon dioxide in transforming the lignocellulosic biomass into high-value products. Moreover, research opportunities for future developments and potential upscale implementation of green solvents are also critically discussed.

Abstract
Biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to advanced biofuels and other bio-based commodities typically includes physical diminution, hydrothermal pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, and valorization of sugars and hydrolysis lignin. This approach is also known as a sugar-platform process. The goal of the pretreatment is to facilitate the ensuing enzymatic saccharification of cellulose, which is otherwise impractical due to the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic feedstocks. This review focuses on hydrothermal pretreatment in comparison to alternative pretreatment methods, biomass properties and recalcitrance, reaction conditions and chemistry of hydrothermal pretreatment, methodology for characterization of pretreatment processes and pretreated materials, and how pretreatment affects subsequent process steps, such as enzymatic saccharification and microbial fermentation. Biochemical conversion based on hydrothermal pretreatment of lignocellulosic feedstocks has emerged as a technology of high industrial relevance and as an area where advances in modern industrial biotechnology become useful for reducing environmental problems and the dependence on fossil resources.

Abstract
During the traditional autohydrolysis, formation and deposition of "pseudo-lignin" and lignin droplets on the surface of biomass had a detrimental effect on the subsequent biomass conversion. In this study, isothermal phase separation was introduced into autohydrolysis, and the effects of isothermal phase separation on the dissolution of components and enzymatic hydrolysis of bamboo were studied. The research showed that isothermal phase separation after autohydrolysis without cooling had an effective reduction in the deposition of "pseudo-lignin" and lignin droplets on the residues surface. After isothermal phase separation, the contents of sugar (14.05 g/L) and lignin (6.16 g/L) in pre-hydrolysates increased by 20% and 19% compared with control, respectively. Moreover, the efficient removal of "pseudo-lignin" and lignin droplets from cell wall surface could further promote the biological conversion of pretreated biomass (22% higher than that of control) during the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis.

Abstract
The development of lignocellulosic biorefineries requires a first stage of pretreatment which enables the efficient valorization of all fractions present in this renewable material. In this sense, this review aims to show the main advantages of hydrothermal treatment as a first step of a biorefinery infrastructure using hardwood as raw material, as well as, main drawback to overcome. Hydrothermal treatment of hardwood highlights for its high selectivity for hemicelluloses solubilization as xylooligosaccharides (XOS). Nevertheless, the suitable conditions for XOS production are inadequate to achieve an elevate cellulose to glucose conversion. Hence, several strategies namely the combination of hydrothermal treatment with delignification process, in situ modification of lignin and the mixture with another renewable resources (concretely, seaweeds, and by-products generated in the food industry with high sugar content) were pinpointed as promising alternative to increase the final ethanol concentration coupled with XOS recovery in the hydrolysate.

Abstract
Biologists and engineers are making tremendous efforts in contributing to a sustainable and green society. To that end, there is growing interest in waste management and valorisation. Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is the most abundant material on the earth and an inevitable waste predominantly originating from agricultural residues, forest biomass and municipal solid waste streams. LCB serves as the renewable feedstock for clean and sustainable processes and products with low carbon emission. Cellulose and hemicellulose constitute the polymeric structure of LCB, which on depolymerisation liberates oligomeric or monomeric glucose and xylose, respectively. The preferential utilization of glucose and/or absence of the xylose metabolic pathway in microbial systems cause xylose valorization to be alienated and abandoned, a major bottleneck in the commercial viability of LCB-based biorefineries. Xylose is the second most abundant sugar in LCB, but a non-conventional industrial substrate unlike glucose. The current review seeks to summarize the recent developments in the biological conversion of xylose into a myriad of sustainable products and associated challenges. The review discusses the microbiology, genetics, and biochemistry of xylose metabolism with hurdles requiring debottlenecking for efficient xylose assimilation. It further describes the product formation by microbial cell factories which can assimilate xylose naturally and rewiring of metabolic networks to ameliorate xylose-based bioproduction in native as well as non-native strains. The review also includes a case study that provides an argument on a suitable pathway for optimal cell growth and succinic acid (SA) production from xylose through elementary flux mode analysis. Finally, a product portfolio from xylose bioconversion has been evaluated along with significant developments made through enzyme, metabolic and process engineering approaches, to maximize the product titers and yield, eventually empowering LCB-based biorefineries. Towards the end, the review is wrapped up with current challenges, concluding remarks, and prospects with an argument for intense future research into xylose-based biorefineries.

Abstract
The hemicellulosic fraction recovery is of interest for integrated processes in biorefineries, considering the possibility of high economic value products produced from their structural compounds of this polysaccharide. However, to perform an efficient recovery, it is necessary to use biomass fractionation techniques, and hydrothermal pretreatment is highlighted as a valuable technique in the hemicellulose recovery by applying high temperatures and pressure, causing dissolution of the structure. Considering the possibility of this pretreatment technique for current approaches to hemicellulose recovery, this article aimed to explore the relevance of hydrothermal pretreatment techniques (sub and supercritical water) as a strategy for recovering the hemicellulosic fraction from lignocellulosic biomass. Discussions about potential products to be generated, current market profile, and perspectives and challenges of applying the technique are also addressed.

Abstract
A two-stage dilute acid and steam explosion (SE) pretreatment process was developed and evaluated at pilot scale for ethanol production from cotton gin trash (CGT). Optimal conditions for CGT processing were defined as 1:6 solids to liquids ratio with 9% H2SO4 wt. on solids at 180 °C for 15 min. during stage 1 with ensuing pressed fibres successively exposed to SE at 200 °C for 5 min during stage 2. SE fibres were highly acquiescent to enzyme hydrolysis (76%) in the presence of PEG 6000, yielding 381 g glucose kg-1 fibre. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) trials validated the selected process option and additional fed-batch SSFs confirmed titres above the minimum 4% ww-1 benchmark for economically viable distillation. The practicality of converting CGT to ethanol was demonstrated at pilot scale with titres above 4% ww-1 and a conversion efficiency of 60% t-1 dry GCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomass recalcitrance is governed by various molecular and structural factors but the interplay between these multiscale factors remains unclear. In this study, hot water pretreatment (HWP) was applied to maize stem internodes to highlight the impact of the ultrastructure of the polymers and their interactions on the accessibility and recalcitrance of the lignocellulosic biomass. The impact of HWP was analysed at different scales, from the polymer ultrastructure or water mobility to the cell wall organisation by combining complementary compositional, spectral and NMR analyses. RESULTS HWP increased the kinetics and yield of saccharification. Chemical characterisation showed that HWP altered cell wall composition with a loss of hemicelluloses (up to 45% in the 40-min HWP) and of ferulic acid cross-linking associated with lignin enrichment. The lignin structure was also altered (up to 35% reduction in β-O-4 bonds), associated with slight depolymerisation/repolymerisation depending on the length of treatment. The increase in [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and specific surface area (SSA) showed that the cellulose environment was looser after pretreatment. These changes were linked to the increased accessibility of more constrained water to the cellulose in the 5-15 nm pore size range. CONCLUSION The loss of hemicelluloses and changes in polymer structural features caused by HWP led to reorganisation of the lignocellulose matrix. These modifications increased the SSA and redistributed the water thereby increasing the accessibility of cellulases and enhancing hydrolysis. Interestingly, lignin content did not have a negative impact on enzymatic hydrolysis but a higher lignin condensed state appeared to promote saccharification. The environment and organisation of lignin is thus more important than its concentration in explaining cellulose accessibility. Elucidating the interactions between polymers is the key to understanding LB recalcitrance and to identifying the best severity conditions to optimise HWP in sustainable biorefineries.

Abstract
It is well established that pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is required to achieve an effective enzymatic saccharification process. At the present time, most of the touted pre-treatment technologies would cause environmental pollution and unsustainable water use for the pretreated material prior to enzymatic saccharification. To address these shortcomings, the pretreatment technology which combines the supercritical CO2, SC-CO2 (a green solvent), acetic acid, and steam explosion was used to assess the pretreatment of wheat straw for enzymatic saccharification. The effects of solvent concentration, impregnation temperature and time, pre-treatment time, and temperature, as well as SC-CO2 pressure, contact time, and temperature, were evaluated. The results identified that at the optimum SC-CO2 pressure of 18 MPa, the highest amount of reducing sugars (RS) was produced from the cellulosic pulp using Acetic acid/Steam/SC-CO2 at 200 °C for 30 min, a value 20% more than the pulp produced with the Water/Steam/SC-CO2. The effectiveness of the pretreatment process was attributed not only to delignification and defibrillation but also to the exposure of the cellulose structure evidenced from the proportion of the β-glycosidic linkages as shown by FTIR. Passing SC-CO2 after the pretreatment reduces the amounts of fermentation inhibitors and eliminates the use of wash water.

Abstract
Hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP) (Hot water extraction (HWE) and steam pretreatment) and pyrolysis have the potential to liquefy lignocellulosic biomass. HTP produces hydrolysate, consisting mainly of solubilized hemicellulose, while pyrolysis produces aqueous pyrolysis liquid (APL). The liquid products, either as main products or by-product, can be used as anaerobic digestion (AD) feeds, overcoming shortcomings of solid-state AD (SS-AD). This paper reviews HWE, steam pretreatment, and pyrolysis pretreatment methods used to liquefy lignocellulosic biomass, AD of liquefied products, effects of inhibition from intermediate by-products such as furan and phenolic compounds, and pretreatment tuning to increase methane yield. HTP, focusing on methane production, produces less inhibitory compounds when carried out at moderate temperatures. APL is a challenging feed for AD due to its complexity, including various inhibitory substances. Pre-treatment of biomass before pyrolysis, adaptation of microorganism to inhibitors, and additives, such as biochar, may help the AD cultures cope with inhibitors in APL.

Abstract
Sugarcane straw (SCS) was pretreated with dilute sulfuric acid assisted by microwave to magnify fermentable sugars and to minimize the concentration of inhibitors in the hydrolysates. The optimum conditions for maximum recovery of sugars were 162 °C and 0.6% (w/v) H2SO4. The low level of inhibitors, such as acetate (2.9 g/L) and total phenolics (1.4 g/L), in the SCS slurry from the pretreatment stage allowed the enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation steps to occur without detoxification. Besides consuming the total sugar content (31.0 g/L), Clostridium beijerinckii Br21 was able to use acetate from the SCS hydrolysate, to give butyric acid at high conversion factor (0.49 g of butyric acid /g of sugar). The optimized pretreatment conditions spared acid, time, and the detoxification stage, making bio-butyric acid production from SCS extremely attractive.

Abstract
One of the key issues in the development of biofuels using lignocellulosic feedstocks is to increase the yield of fermented sugar, and simultaneously decrease the generation of fermentation inhibitors. Therefore, it is essential to understand the degradation mechanism of xylan during hot-water pretreatment. We analyzed the hydrothermal degradation products of xylan and xylose under different conditions. Results showed that furfural and formic acid formed from xylose reached a maximum value of 32.56 % and 35.14 %, respectively. By increasing the initial pH of the xylan solution, the furfural concentration can be reduced effectively to 2% and the formation of formic acid was preferred under alkaline conditions. On this basis, we proposed a new hydrothermal degradation pathway of xylan in alkaline solution. The in-depth understanding of xlyan degradation during hot water pre-treatment will be beneficial for improving the efficiency of biofuel production.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic crops are attractive bioresources for energy and chemicals production within a sustainable, carbon circular society. Miscanthus is one of the perennial grasses that exhibits great potential as a dedicated feedstock for conversion to biobased products in integrated biorefineries. The current biorefinery strategies are primarily focused on polysaccharide valorization and require severe pretreatments to overcome the lignin barrier. The need for such pretreatments represents an economic burden and impacts the overall sustainability of the biorefinery. Hence, increasing its efficiency has been a topic of great interest. Inversely, though pretreatment will remain an essential step, there is room to reduce its severity by optimizing the biomass composition rendering it more exploitable. Extensive studies have examined the miscanthus cell wall structures in great detail, and pinpointed those components that affect biomass digestibility under various pretreatments. Although lignin content has been identified as the most important factor limiting cell wall deconstruction, the effect of polysaccharides and interaction between the different constituents play an important role as well. The natural variation that is available within different miscanthus species and increased understanding of biosynthetic cell wall pathways have specified the potential to create novel accessions with improved digestibility through breeding or genetic modification. This review discusses the contribution of the main cell wall components on biomass degradation in relation to hydrothermal, dilute acid and alkaline pretreatments. Furthermore, traits worth advancing through breeding will be discussed in light of past, present and future breeding efforts.

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
The combination of different pretreatment methods can effectively overcome recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass to ensure its highly efficient conversion into bio-based products. In this study, the combined pretreatments of chemical methods (hydrothermal treatment and Fenton treatment) with mechanical refining were used to improve the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of poplar branches. The results indicated that hydrothermal pretreatment and Fenton pretreatment can effectively improve the enzymatic hydrolysis of poplar substrates, e.g., the maximum glucose conversion yield and glucose concentration reached 92.4% and 20.8 g/L, respectively. The pre-hydrolysates contained some valuable components such as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, acetic acid, furfural, and hydroxymethylfurfural. The main characteristics (specific surface area, water retention value, fines content, and surface lignin concentration) of poplar substrates were obviously changed by the combined pretreatment, which benefit the enzymatic hydrolysis.

Abstract
Sugarcane straw (SS) is a widely available agricultural processing feedstock with the potential to produce 2nd generation bioethanol and bioproducts, in addition to the more conventional use for heat and/or electrical power generation. In this study, we investigated the operational parameters to maximize the production of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) using mild deacetylation, followed by hydrothermal pretreatment. From the laboratory to the pilot-scale, the optimized two-stage pretreatment promoted 81.5% and 70.5% hemicellulose solubilization and led to XOS yields up to 9.8% and 9.1% (w/w of initial straw), respectively. Moreover, different fungal xylanases were also tested to hydrolyze XOS into xylobiose (X2) and xylotriose (X3). GH10 from Aspergillus nidulans performed better than GH11 xylanases and the ratio of the desired products (X2 + X3) increased to 72% due to minimal monomeric sugar formation. Furthermore, a cellulose-rich fraction was obtained, which can be used in other high value-added applications, such as for the production of cello-oligomers.

Abstract
In the present work, bioethanol was produced by sugar fermentation obtained from water hyacinth using a novelty hybrid method composed of steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis, using hydrolytic enzymes produced by solid-state fermentation and water hyacinth as substrate. The highest activity, 42 U for xylanase and 2 U for cellulase per gram of dry matter, respectively, was obtained. Steam explosion pretreatment was performed at 190 ℃ for 1, 5, and 10 min, using water hyacinth sampled from the Maria Lizamba Lagoon, the Arroyo Hondo and the Amapa River. The highest amounts of reducing sugars of water hyacinth were obtained form the samples from the lagoon (5.4 g/50 g of dry matter) after 10 min of treatment. Steamed biomass was hydrolysed using the enzymes obtained by solid-state fermentation, obtained reducing sugars (maximum 15.5 g/L); the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis was 0.51 g of reducing sugars per gram of water hyacinth. Finally, reducing sugars were fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae for conversion to ethanol, with the highest ethanol concentration (7.13 g/L) and an ethanol yield of 0.23 g/g of dry matter.

Abstract
Raspberry extrudate residue has bioactive compounds in its matrix that are considered high-added value compounds. In the present study, different hydrothermal treatments were carried out using different operational systems, temperatures and times to solubilize raspberry extrudate in order to obtain these bioactive compounds (i.e., sugars and phenolic compounds). Hydrothermal treatment conditions were assessed in the range of 60 °C to 210 °C, with increments of 30 °C. The hydrothermal treatment at 210 °C for 5 min with direct steam and decompression was the most efficient process based on the solubilization of sugars and phenols, as well as on the antioxidant capacity of the products recovered in the liquid phase after treatment. Under these conditions, the concentration of soluble phenols was more than double the concentration in the raw raspberry extrudate, with more than 5000 mg phenols per kilogram of raspberry extrudate. The obtained values demonstrate the potential of applying this treatment for recovering valuable bioactive compounds from raspberry extrudate.

Abstract
The ability to produce second-generation itaconic acid by Aspergillus terreus, and the inhibitory effects of hydrolysis by-products on the fermentation were evaluated by cultivation in a synthetic medium containing components usually present in a real hydrolysate broth from lignocellulosic biomasses. The results showed that A. terreus NRRL 1960 can produce itaconic acid and consume xylose completely, but the conversion is less than the fermentation using only glucose. In addition, compared to fermentation of glucose, or even xylose, the mix of both sugars resulted in a lower itaconic acid yield. In the inhibitory test, the final itaconic acid titer was reduced by acetic acid, furfural, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural concentrations of, respectively, 188, 175, and 700 mg L-1. However, the presence of any amount of acetic acid proved to be detrimental to itaconic acid production. This research sheds some light on doubts about the biorefinery implementation of itaconic acid production.

Abstract
How to propel an efficient exploitation of waste streams is a pivotal tache for the long-range augment of hydrothermal biomass valorization. A facile approach was proposed to simultaneously produce carbon dots (CDs), fermentable sugar, and cellulose enzymatic lignin from agricultural straw with the aid of ionic liquid (IL, 1-aminoethyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate, [C2NH2MIm][NO3]) catalyzed hydrothermal treatment. The graphite N-doped CDs with bright-blue fluorescence, which was mainly derived from the incorporation of hemicellulose (e.g. xylooligosaccharides), lignin and [C2NH2MIm][NO3], exhibited an average-diameter of 8.14 nm. The exfoliation of amorphous parts and robust fibers was formed to improve cellulose digestibility from 14.7 to 81.6%. The efficient recovery and checkup of lignin pave a way for its potential depolymerization into arenes. This protocol offers a significant benefit for large-scale hydrothermal biorefinery where reduction of process waste is a prime concern, and leads to high-value products (i.e., CDs and lignin) that also fosters the feasibility of bioethanol.

Experimental optimization and techno-economic analysis of bioethanol production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process using sugarcane straw. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 297:122494. [PMID: 31813817 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2019.122494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2019] [Revised: 11/22/2019] [Accepted: 11/23/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The present work aims to determine a suitable yield-productivity balance in bioethanol production from hydrothermally pretreated sugarcane straw via pre-saccharification (PS) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). PS experiments were carried out evaluating effects of enzymatic dosage, biomass loading, and PS time. The performance of the whole process (PSSSF) was evaluated based on overall ethanol yield and productivity considering a simultaneous optimization (desirability function) of both variables. The multi-criteria optimization enabled to reach 5.7% w/w ethanol concentration yielding 290 L of ethanol per ton of pretreated sugarcane straw within 45 h of total processing time. Furthermore, a techno-economic analysis was performed under optimized conditions (14.5 FPU/gcellulose, 19.3% w/v biomass loading and 33 h PS time). This process was integrated into a first-generation plant. Although the economic evaluation exhibited a negative performance, a sensitivity analysis indicated that a decrease of 23.3% in operational expenditure would be enough to achieve feasibility.

Abstract
MgO/N-doped active carbon (Mg/N-C) derived from sugarcane bagasse was prepared for the removal of methyl orange (MO). Mg/N-C composites presented the better adsorption capacity than that of active carbon and N-doped active carbon, of which the maximum adsorption capacity of 2-Mg/N-C-b2 for the MO removal is 384.61 mg g-1. The effects of MgO dosage, N-doped content, pyrolysis temperature, pH value, inorganic ions and solution temperature on the adsorption performance of Mg/N-C composites in the MO removal were investigated in detail. The pseudo-second order model and Langmuir isotherm model fitted well with the adsorption kinetics and isotherms of Mg/N-C. The rate-determining step was the boundary diffusion and intra-particle diffusion. The adsorption process of 2-Mg/N-C-b2 was a spontaneous and physisorption process.
