[PMID: 38966379 PMCID: PMC11220608 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc01265h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024] Open
Abstract
The ever-growing atmospheric CO2 concentration threatening the environmental sustainability of humankind makes the reduction of CO2 to chemicals or fuels an ideal solution. Two priorities are anticipated for the conversion technology, high efficiency and net carbon benefit, to ensure the mitigation of the CO2 problem both promptly and sustainably. Until now, catalytic hydrogenation or solar/electro-chemical CO2 conversion have achieved CO2 reduction promisingly while, to some extent, compromising to fulfill the two rules, and thus alternative approaches for CO2 reduction are necessary. Natural geochemical processes as abiotic CO2 reductions give hints for efficient CO2 reduction by building hydrothermal reaction systems, and this type of reaction atmosphere provides room for introducing renewable substances as reductants, which offers the possibility to achieve CO2 reduction with net carbon benefit. While the progress in CO2 reduction has been abundantly summarized, reviews on hydrothermal CO2 reduction are relatively scarce and, more importantly, few have focused on CO2 reduction with renewable reductants with the consideration of both scale of efficiency and sustainability. This review provides a fundamental and critical review of metal, biomass and polymer waste as reducing agents for hydrothermal CO2 reduction. Various products including formic acid, methanol, methane and multi-carbon chemicals can be formed, and effects of operational parameters such as temperature, batch holding time, pH value and water filing as well as detailed reaction mechanisms are illustrated. Particularly, the critical roles of high temperature and pressure water as reaction promotor and catalyst in hydrothermal CO2 conversion are discussed at the mechanistic level. More importantly, this review compares hydrothermal CO2 reduction with other methods such as catalytic hydrogenation and photo/electrocatalysis, evaluating their efficiency and potential for net carbon benefit. The aim of this review is to promote the understanding of CO2 activation under a hydrothermal environment and provide insights into the efficient and sustainable strategy of hydrothermal CO2 conversion for future fundamental research and industrial applications.

Sustainable biorefinery approach by utilizing xylose fraction of lignocellulosic biomass. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131290. [PMID: 38569993 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) has been a lucrative feedstock for developing biochemical products due to its rich organic content, low carbon footprint and abundant accessibility. The recalcitrant nature of this feedstock is a foremost bottleneck. It needs suitable pretreatment techniques to achieve a high yield of sugar fractions such as glucose and xylose with low inhibitory components. Cellulosic sugars are commonly used for the bio-manufacturing process, and the xylose sugar, which is predominant in the hemicellulosic fraction, is rejected as most cell factories lack the five‑carbon metabolic pathways. In the present review, more emphasis was placed on the efficient pretreatment techniques developed for disintegrating LCB and enhancing xylose sugars. Further, the transformation of the xylose to value-added products through chemo-catalytic routes was highlighted. In addition, the review also recapitulates the sustainable production of biochemicals by native xylose assimilating microbes and engineering the metabolic pathway to ameliorate biomanufacturing using xylose as the sole carbon source. Overall, this review will give an edge on the bioprocessing of microbial metabolism for the efficient utilization of xylose in the LCB.

Abstract
The biorefining process of lignocellulosic biomass has recently emerged as one of the most profitable biofuel production options. However, pretreatment is required to improve the recalcitrant lignocellulose's enzymatic conversion efficiency. Among biomass pretreatment methods, the steam explosion is an eco-friendly, inexpensive, and effective approach to pretreating biomass, significantly promoting biofuel production efficiency and yield. This review paper critically presents the steam explosion's reaction mechanism and technological characteristics for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment. Indeed, the principles of steam explosion technology for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment were scrutinized. Moreover, the impacts of process factors on pretreatment efficiency and sugar recovery for the following biofuel production were also discussed in detail. Finally, the limitations and prospects of steam explosion pretreatment were mentioned. Generally, steam explosion technology applications could bring great potential in pretreating biomass, although deeper studies are needed to deploy this method on industrial scales.

Abstract
An integrated process by coupling hydrothermal reactions, including CO2 reduction and H2O dissociation with metals, is proposed. The hydrogen could be rapidly produced under hydrothermal conditions, owing to the special characteristics of high temperature water, generating metal hydrides as intermediates. Hydrogen production from the H2O dissociation under hydrothermal conditions is one of the most ideal processes due to its environmentally friendly impact. Recent experimental and theoretical studies on the hydrothermal reduction of CO2 to value-added products by in situ generated metal hydrides are introduced, including the production of formic acid, methanol, methane, and long-chain hydrocarbons. These results indicate that this process holds promise in respect to the conversion of CO2 to useful chemicals and fuels, and for hydrogen storage, which could help alleviate the problems of climate change and energy shortage.

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
Hydrothermal conversion of biomass is a promising technology for the conversion of biomass into biofuels and biobased chemicals. This chapter is focused on the waste biomass conversion for production of biofuels and chemicals by applying sub- and supercritical fluids. One of the biggest disadvantages in biomass conversion by SCF is the extremely high energy requirement for heating the media above the water critical point (374 °C, 221 bar). The idea behind the recent research is to reduce the operating temperature and energy requirements by processing biomass with water at much higher pressures. The importance of knowledge on behavior of multicomponent systems at elevated pressures and temperatures is underlined. Methods, developed by the authors of this chapter for determination of thermodynamic and transport properties for multicomponent systems of different solid compounds and supercritical fluid under extreme conditions are described. Future perspective of hydrothermal technology as a tool to obtain advanced materials and the possible scope for future research is also discussed.

Abstract
At extremely low reaction times (0.02 s), cellulose was hydrolyzed in supercritical water (T=400 °C and P=25 MPa) to obtain a sugar yield higher than 95 wt%, whereas the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) yield was lower than 0.01 wt %. If the reaction time was increased to 1 s, the main product was glycolaldehyde (60 wt%). Independently of the reaction time, the yield of 5-HMF was always lower than 0.01 wt%. To evaluate the reaction mechanism of biomass hydrolysis in pressurized water, several parameters (temperature, pressure, reaction time, and reaction medium) were studied for different biomasses (cellulose, glucose, fructose, and wheat bran). It was found that the H(+) and OH(-) ion concentration in the reaction medium as a result of water dissociation is the determining factor in the selectivity. The reaction of glucose isomerization to fructose and the further dehydration to 5-HMF are highly dependent on the ion concentration. By an increase in the pOH/pH value, these reactions were minimized to allow control of 5-HMF production. Under these conditions, the retroaldol condensation pathway was enhanced, instead of the isomerization/dehydration pathway.
