Wang S, Hou X, Sun J, Sun D, Gao Z. Efficacy and Functional Mechanisms of a Two-Stage Pretreatment Approach Based on Alkali and Ionic Liquid for Bioconversion of Waste Medium-Density Fiberboard. Molecules 2024; 29:2153. [PMID: 38731644 PMCID: PMC11085654 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29092153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
A novel pretreatment strategy utilizing a combination of NaOH and 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl) was proposed to enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis of abandoned Medium-density fiberboard (MDF). The synergistic effect of NaOH and [Bmim]Cl pretreatment significantly improved the glucose yield, reaching 445.8 mg/g within 72 h, which was 5.04 times higher than that of the untreated samples. The working mechanism was elucidated according to chemical composition, as well as FTIR, 13C NMR, XRD, and SEM analyses. The combined effects of NaOH and [Bmim]Cl led to lignin degradation, hemicellulose removal, the destruction and erosion of crystalline regions, pores, and an irregular microscopic morphology. In addition, by comparing the enzymatic hydrolysis sugar yield and elemental nitrogen content of untreated MDF samples, eucalyptus, and hot mill fibers (HMF), it was demonstrated that the presence of adhesives and additives in waste MDF significantly influences its hydrolysis process. The sugar yield of untreated MDF samples (88.5 mg/g) was compared with those subjected to hydrothermal pretreatment (183.2 mg/g), Ionic liquid (IL) pretreatment (406.1 mg/g), and microwave-assisted ionic liquid pretreatment (MWI) (281.3 mg/g). A long water bath pretreatment can reduce the effect of adhesives and additives on the enzymatic hydrolysis of waste MDF. The sugar yield produced by the combined pretreatment proposed in this study and the removal ability of adhesives and additives highlight the great potential of our pretreatment technology in the recycling of waste fiberboard.

Abstract
There are several methods to isolate near-native lignins, including milled-wood lignin, enzymatic lignin, cellulolytic enzyme lignin, and enzymatic mild-acidolysis lignin. Which one is the most representative of the native lignin? Herein, near-native lignins were isolated from different plant groups and structurally analyzed to determine how well these lignins represented their native lignin counterparts. Analytical methods were applied to understand the molecular weight, monomer composition, and distribution of interunit linkages in the structure of the lignins. The results indicated that either enzymatic lignin or cellulolytic enzyme lignin may be used to represent native lignin in softwoods and hardwoods. None of the lignins, however, appeared to represent native lignins in grasses (monocot plants) because of substantial syringyl/guaiacyl differences. Complicating the understanding of grass lignin structure, large amounts of hydroxycinnamates acylate their polysaccharides and, when released, are often conflated with actual lignin monomers.

Abstract
Lignin is the most abundant natural phenolic polymer. However, the severe condensations of industrial lignin resulted in an undesirable apparent morphology and darker color, which hindered its application in the field of daily chemicals. Therefore, a ternary deep eutectic solvent is used to obtain lignin with light-color and low condensations from softwood. The results showed that the brightness value of lignin extracted from aluminum chloride-1,4-butanediol-choline chloride at 100 °C and 1.0 h was 77.9, and the lignin yield was 32.2 ± 0.6%. It is important that 95.8% of β-O-4 linkages (β-O-4 and β-O-4') was retained. Lignin is used to prepare sunscreens and is added to physical sunscreens at 5%, with SPF up to 26.95 ± 4.20. Meanwhile, enzyme hydrolysis experiments and reaction liquid composition tests were also conducted. In conclusion, a systematic understanding of this efficient process could facilitate high-value utilization of lignocellulosic biomass in industrial processes.

Abstract
A green and effective method is proposed for the pretreatment of eucalyptus by freeze-thaw assisted maleic acid tactic, wherein the effects of freeze-thaw, maleic acid concentration, reaction time, and temperature on the fractionation were examined. Results showed that under optimal conditions (60% maleic acid, 120 °C, and 2 h), a remarkable removal of 74.5% lignin and 95.2% hemicellulose was achieved after freeze-thaw treatment. The resulting cellulose-rich solid residues were further processed with maleic acid to prepare cellulose nanocrystals, which displayed uniform sized rod-like structures and high crystallinity (62.51%). Moreover, maleic acid pretreatment resulted in lignin with low molecular weight (2110-2530) and excellent homogeneity (PDI ≤ 1.86), while maintaining a relatively intact structure. The lignin had high β-O-4 aryl ether bond contents (≥77.5%) and abundant phenolic hydroxyl contents (2.33-3.63 mmol/g). Overall, the process exhibits notable benefits in effectively separating lignocellulose for high valorization.

Abstract
This work proposed a promising biorefinery method for the deconstruction of moso bamboo by using p-toluenesulfonic acid (P-TsOH) pretreatment to product high-purity cellulose (dissolving pulp). The cellulose pulp with high α-cellulose content (82.36 %) was successfully prepared for 60 min at low pretreatment temperature (90 °C) and atmospheric pressure. After the simple bleaching and cold caustic extraction (CCE) processes, the properties of cellulose pulp, such as α-cellulose content, polymerization, ISO brightness, all met the standard of dissolving pulp. In general, the cooking method through P-TsOH pretreatment can shorten the preparation time, which can effectively reduce energy consumption and chemical consumption. Therefore, this work may provide a new perspective for the green preparation of dissolving pulp that can be used to produce lyocell fiber after ash and metal ion treatment.

Abstract
A new cutting-edge lignocellulose fractionation technology for the co-production of glucose, native-like lignin, and furfural was introduced using mannitol (MT)-assisted p-toluenesulfonic acid/pentanol pretreatment, as an eco-friendly process. The addition of optimized 5% MT in pretreatment enhanced the delignification rate by 29% and enlarged the surface area and biomass porosity by 1.07-1.80 folds. This increased the glucose yield by 45% (from 65.34 to 94.54%) after enzymatic hydrolysis relative to those without MT. The extracted lignin in the organic phase of pretreatment exhibited β-O-4 bonds (61.54/100 Ar) properties of native cellulosic enzyme lignin. Lignin characterization and molecular docking analyses revealed that the hydroxyl tails of MT were incorporated with lignin and formed etherified lignin, which preserved high lignin integrity. The solubilized hemicellulose (96%) in the liquid phase of pretreatment was converted into furfural with a yield of 83.99%. The MT-assisted pretreatment could contribute to a waste-free biorefinery pathway toward a circular bioeconomy.

Abstract
Demonstrated to be highly effective for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment, deep eutectic solvent (DES) has attracted increasing attention owing to its advantages of simple synthesis, relatively low chemical cost, and better biocompatibility as compared to certain ionic liquids. Here we provide a critical review of the status of the design/selection of DES for the pretreatment of biomass feedstocks with an emphasis on the process intensification strategies: 1) integration of microwave, ultrasound, and high solid extrusion for pretreating biomass, 2) one-pot DES pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation, 3) strategies for DES recycling and product recovery; and 4) recent progress on molecular simulations toward understanding the interactions between DES and biomass compounds such as lignin and cellulose. Lastly, we provide perspectives toward cost-effective, continuous, high-solid, environmental-benign, and industrial-relevant applications and point to future research directions to address the challenges associated with DES pretreatment.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass raw materials are renewable resources with abundant reserves in nature, and have many advantages, such as being green, biodegradable and cheap. Lignin, one of the three significant components of lignocellulose, possesses a chemical structure rich in phenylpropane and is a primary aromatic resource for the bio-based economy. For the extraction and degradation of lignin, the most common method is the pretreatment of lignocellulose with deep eutectic solvents (DES), which have similar physicochemical properties to ionic liquids (ILs) but address the disadvantages associated with ILs (DES have the advantages of low cost, low toxicity, and non-flammability). In lignocellulose pretreatment, a large amount of solvent is generally required to achieve the desired effect. However, after treatment, a substantial volume of solvent will be wasted, and thus, the problem of the recovery and reuse of DES solution needs to be adequately solved. The methods and mechanisms of perfect DES regeneration will be discussed from the perspective of the elemental composition and features of DESs in this review, which will also outline the present DES recovery methods, such as rotary evaporation, membrane separation, freeze-drying, electrodialysis, etc. The detailed process and the advantages and disadvantages of each method since 2018 are introduced in detail. Future DES recovery methods have been prospected, and the optimization of the functional properties of DESs after recovery is discussed. It is expected to find a convenient and efficient application method for DES extraction or degradation of lignin with low energy and low cost.
