Abstract
The choice of silage additives is an important factor for the storage of silage. One standard ensiling method and two enhanced ensiling methods (using natural silage, silage with mixed lactic acid bacteria, and silage with acetic acid, respectively) were carried out on Miscanthus sinensis. To determine the effects of these different methods, the biochemical methane potential (BMP) was determined. The results revealed that ensiling with acetic acid was the best method among the three ensiling methods. Acetic acid could quickly reduce the pH of the system to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. The rate of loss of dry matter was 0.92% when acetic acid was added, and the cumulative methane production was 149.6 mL·g-1 volatile solids. From an analysis of correlations between the properties and BMP of silage, the contents of acetic acid and total volatile fatty acids were significantly correlated with the BMP. This study provides a theoretical basis for improving the BMP of M. sinensis and achieving better effects of silage.

Delignification of miscanthus using ethylenediamine (EDA) with or without ammonia and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis to sugars. 3 Biotech 2016; 6:23. [PMID: 28330098 PMCID: PMC4711287 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-015-0344-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2015] [Accepted: 08/03/2015] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Pretreatment of miscanthus is essential for efficient enzymatic
production of cellulosic ethanol. This study reports a possible pretreatment method
for miscanthus using aqueous ethylenediamine (EDA) for 30 min at 180 °C with or
without ammonia. The mass ratio of miscanthus to EDA was varied from 1:3, 1:1, and
1:0.5, keeping the mass ratio of miscanthus to liquid (EDA + Water) constant at 1:8.
The ammonia-to-miscanthus ratio was 1:0.25. After pretreatment with a ratio of 1:3
miscanthus to EDA, about 75 % of the lignin was removed from the raw miscanthus with
90 % retention of cellulose and 50 % of hemicellulose in the recovered solid.
Enzymatic hydrolysis of the recovered solid miscanthus gave 63 % glucose and 62 %
xylose conversion after 72 h. EDA provides an effective pretreatment for miscanthus,
achieving good delignification and enhanced sugar yield by enzyme hydrolysis.
Results using aqueous EDA with or without ammonia are much better than those using
hot water and compare favorably with those using aqueous ammonia. The
delignification efficiency of EDA pretreatment is high compared to that for
hot-water pretreatment and is nearly as efficient as that obtained for
aqueous-ammonia pretreatment.

BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS 2015; 8:174.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is essential to increase the cellulase accessibility for bioconversion of lignocelluloses by breaking down the biomass recalcitrance. In this work, a novel pretreatment method using ethylenediamine (EDA) was presented as a simple process to achieve high enzymatic digestibility of corn stover (CS) by heating the biomass-EDA mixture with high solid-to-liquid ratio at ambient pressure. The effect of EDA pretreatment on lignocellulose was further studied. RESULTS High enzymatic digestibility of CS was achieved at broad pretreatment temperature range (40-180 °C) during EDA pretreatment. Herein, X-ray diffractogram analysis indicated that cellulose I changed to cellulose III and amorphous cellulose after EDA pretreatment, and cellulose III content increased along with the decrease of drying temperature and the increase of EDA loading. Lignin degradation was also affected by drying temperature and EDA loading. Images from scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope indicated that lignin coalesced and deposited on the biomass surface during EDA pretreatment, which led to the delamination of cell wall. HSQC NMR analysis showed that ester bonds of p-coumarate and ferulate units in lignin were partially ammonolyzed and ether bonds linking the phenolic monomers were broken during pretreatment. In addition, EDA-pretreated CS exhibited good fermentability for simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation process. CONCLUSIONS EDA pretreatment improves the enzymatic digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass significantly, and the improvement was caused by the transformation of cellulose allomorph, lignin degradation and relocalization in EDA pretreatment.

Abstract
We present a review on the multifunctional use of ionic liquids with respect to lignin processing. In a biorefinery context, lignocellulosics could be used to provide sustainable sources of fuels such as bioethanol, and feedstock molecules for the chemical industry such as phenols and other aromatics. However, separation of lignin from cellulose and hemicellulose is a vital step. Ionic liquids can dissolve extensive quantities of biomass, and even be designed to be multifunctional solvents. We highlight the use of ionic liquids in selectively or non-selectively dissolving lignin, the depolymerization reactions that have been attempted on lignin in ionic liquids, and the effect ionic liquids have been observed to have on such processes. Finally, we present some of the challenges and issues that must be addressed before the informed and large-scale application of ionic liquids can be realized for lignin processing.
