Abstract
Production of a chemical feedstock as a secondary product from a commercial nuclear reactor can increase the economic viability of the reactor and enable the deployment of nuclear energy as part of the low-carbon energy grid. Currently, commercial nuclear reactors produce underutilized energy in the form of neutrons and gamma photons. This excess energy can be exploited to drive chemical reactions, increasing the fraction of utilized energy in reactors and providing a valuable secondary product from the reactor. Gamma degradation of cellulosic biomass has been studied previously. However, real-time, on-line monitoring of the breakdown of biomass materials under gamma radiation has not been demonstrated. Here, we demonstrate on-line monitoring of the reaction of cellobiose with hydrogen peroxide under gamma radiation using Raman spectroscopy, providing in situ quantification of organic and inorganic system components.

Abstract
The review discusses various aspects of renewable plant biomass conversion and production of the second-generation biofuels, including the types of plant biomass, its composition and reaction ability in the enzymatic hydrolysis, and various pretreatment methods for increasing the biomass reactivity. Conversion of plant biomass into sugars requires the use of a complex of enzymes, the composition of which should be adapted to the biomass type and the pretreatment method. The efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis can be increased by optimizing the composition of the enzymatic complex and by increasing the catalytic activity and operational stability of its constituent enzymes. The availability of active enzyme producers also plays an important role. Examples of practical implementation and scaling of processes for the production of second-generation biofuels are presented together with the cost analysis of bioethanol production.

Abstract
The process of pretreatment is considered as an indispensable unit operation in the field of lignocellulosic conversion. The traditional pretreatment operations of lignocellulosic biomass are observed as inefficient to meet the demand for an industrial adaptation. In view of that, numerous investigations are reported on various conventional pretreatment methods but very limited information's are available on the advanced technologies. The present review article provides an exclusive discussion on various emerging and environment-friendly pretreatment methods applied on a number of different feedstock materials. Further, an insight on the reaction mechanism involved with each of the technologies such as microwave, ultrasound, deep eutectic solvent, irradiation, and high force assisted pretreatment methods are elucidated for an effective valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. Hence, in a single article, the readers of this paper will get to know all important aspects of the emerging pretreatment techniques of lignocellulosic biomass including the advancements, and the mechanistic insight which will be highly beneficial towards the selection of an efficient pretreatment method for large scale of commercial implementation in a lignocellulosic biorefinery.

Abstract
Wet explosion pretreatment of hybrid poplar sawdust (PSD) for the production of fermentable sugar was carried out in the pilot-scale. The effects of pretreatment conditions, such as temperature (170-190 °C), oxygen dosage (0.5-7.5% of dry matter (DM), w/w), residence time (10-30 min), on cellulose and hemicellulose digestibility after enzymatic hydrolysis were ascertained with a central composite design of the experiment. Further, enzymatic hydrolysis was optimized in terms of temperature, pH, and a mixture of CTec2 and HTec2 enzymes (Novozymes). Predictive modeling showed that cellulose and hemicellulose digestibility of 75.1% and 83.1%, respectively, could be achieved with a pretreatment at 177 °C with 7.5% O2 and a retention time of 30 min. An increased cellulose digestibility of 87.1% ± 0.1 could be achieved by pretreating at 190 °C; however, the hemicellulose yield would be significantly reduced. It was evident that more severe conditions were required for maximal cellulose digestibility than that of hemicellulose digestibility and that an optimal sugar yield demanded a set of conditions, which overall resulted in the maximum sugar yield.

Abstract
In lignocellulosic biomass biotransformation technology, pretreatment is the most important step to increase the conversion efficiency and reduce cost. The electron beam irradiation (EBI) pretreatment method was discussed in this study. First, the effects of a 0-1200 kGy irradiation dose on saccharification efficiency of lignocellulose biomass (birch) and analytically pure cellulose were studied. Then, the pretreated samples were tested for composition, X-ray diffraction, degree of polymerization, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Finally, the mechanism of the EBI pretreatment was analyzed from the aspects of lignin content, cellulose crystallinity, cellulose polymerization degree, and cellulose molecular structure. The results show that the EBI pretreatment can significantly improve the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis by degrading the lignin in lignocellulose, reducing the crystallinity and polymerization degree of cellulose, and destroying the cellulose molecules. It also obtained that the pretreatment of cellulose and lignocellulose with irradiation has a different trend in enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency with irradiation dose. This indicates that there is a difference in irradiation effects between pure cellulose and lignocellulose. And a possible degradation pathway of cellulose was proposed. This study has important guide for the application and development of EBI pretreatment methods.

Choosing Physical, Physicochemical and Chemical Methods of Pre-Treating Lignocellulosic Wastes to Repurpose into Solid Fuels. SUSTAINABILITY 2019.

Abstract
Various methods of physical, chemical and combined physicochemical pre-treatments for lignocellulosic biomass waste valorisation to value-added feedstock/solid fuels for downstream processes in chemical industries have been reviewed. The relevant literature was scrutinized for lignocellulosic waste applicability in advanced thermochemical treatments for either energy or liquid fuels. By altering the overall naturally occurring bio-polymeric matrix of lignocellulosic biomass waste, individual components such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin can be accessed for numerous downstream processes such as pyrolysis, gasification and catalytic upgrading to value-added products such as low carbon energy. Assessing the appropriate lignocellulosic pre-treatment technology is critical to suit the downstream process of both small- and large-scale operations. The cost to operate the process (temperature, pressure or energy constraints), the physical and chemical structure of the feedstock after pre-treatment (decomposition/degradation, removal of inorganic components or organic solubilization) or the ability to scale up the pre-treating process must be considered so that the true value in the use of bio-renewable waste can be revealed.

Pretreatment of wheat straw leads to structural changes and improved enzymatic hydrolysis. Sci Rep 2018; 8:1321.

Abstract
Wheat straw (WS) is a potential biomass for production of monomeric sugars. However, the enzymatic hydrolysis ratio of cellulose in WS is relatively low due to the presence of lignin and hemicellulose. To enhance the enzymatic conversion of WS, we tested the impact of three different pretreatments, e.g. sulfuric acid (H2SO4), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and hot water pretreatments to the enzymatic digestions. Among the three pretreatments, the highest cellulose conversion rate was obtained with the 4% NaOH pretreatment at 121 °C (87.2%). In addition, NaOH pretreatment was mainly effective in removing lignin, whereas the H2SO4 pretreatment efficiently removed hemicellulose. To investigate results of pretreated process for enhancement of enzyme-hydolysis to the WS, we used scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to analyze structural changes of raw and treated materials. The structural analysis indicated that after H2SO4 and NaOH pretreatments, most of the amorphous cellulose and partial crystalline cellulose were hydrolyzed during enzymatic hydrolysis. The findings of the present study indicate that WS could be ideal materials for production of monomeric sugars with proper pretreatments and effective enzymatic base hydrolysis.

Abstract
In order to improve the enzymatic saccharification of hybrid poplar sawdust, gamma irradiation pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis in the presence of sludge protein were investigated. The cellulose crystallinity index were significantly decreased after irradiation pretreatment, and adding sludge protein improved enzyme activity and increased the reducing sugar yield. The conditions of irradiation pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis in the presence of sludge protein were systematically examined. The maximum reducing sugar yield was 519mg/g under an irradiation dose of 300kGy, a sludge protein dosage of 2mg/mL, an enzymatic hydrolysis temperature of 45°C, an enzymatic hydrolysis time of 84h, and a 90FPU/g enzyme loading. This work indicated that the combined method of gamma irradiation pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis in the presence of sludge protein was a promising potential for the saccharification of hybrid poplar sawdust.
