The deconstruction of renewable biomass feedstocks into soluble sugars at low cost is a critical component the biochemical conversion to fuels and chemicals. Providing high concentration sugar syrups with levels chemicals toxic inhibitors, process yields essential for platform processes using pretreatment enzymatic hydrolysis. In this work, we utilize consisting deacetylation, followed by mechanical refining in disc refiner (DDR) concentrations without conventional chemical step. new...
Lignocellulosic biorefineries will produce a substantial pool of lignin-enriched residues, which are currently slated to be burned for heat and power. Going forward, however, valorization strategies residual solid lignin essential the economic viability modern biorefineries. To achieve these strategies, effective depolymerization processes required that can convert specific biorefinery substrates into products sufficient value market size. Base-catalyzed (BCD) using sodium hydroxide other...
Distilling and purifying ethanol is resource intensive.
A New Lignin BioJet: Jet fuel-range hydrocarbons (C<sub>7</sub>–C<sub>18</sub>) can be produced directly from biomass-derived lignin by selective C–O–C bond cleavage and simultaneous hydrodeoxygenation using combinations of noble metal catalysts (Ru/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) acidic zeolites (H<sup>+</sup>-Y) in the aqueous phase.
Dilute acid pretreatment is a promising technology for the biochemical production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. During dilute pretreatment, xylan depolymerizes to form soluble xylose monomers and oligomers. Because found in nature highly acetylated, formation requires two steps: 1) cleavage xylosidic bonds, 2) covalently bonded acetyl ester groups.In this study, we show that latter may be rate limiting step monomer formation. Furthermore, groups are also cause biomass...
Conversion of biomass derived lignin to liquid fuels has the promising potential significantly improve carbon utilization and economic competitiveness refineries. In this study, an aqueous phase catalytic process was developed selectively depolymerize polymeric framework remove oxygen via hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reactions. Efficient methods (ethanol dilute alkali extraction) for producing reactive oligomers with high yields from corn stover were established. Characteristic structural...
Abstract The synthesis of high‐efficiency and low‐cost catalysts for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) waste lignin to advanced biofuels is crucial enhancing current biorefinery processes. Inexpensive transition metals, including Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, were severally co‐loaded with Ru on HY zeolite form bimetallic bifunctional catalysts. These subsequently tested HDO conversion softwood several model compounds. Results indicated that the inexpensive earth‐abundant metals could modulate hydrogenolysis...
Industrial biotechnology that is able to provide environmentally friendly bio-based products has attracted more attention in replacing petroleum-based industries. Currently, most of the carbon sources used for fermentation-based bioprocesses are obtained from agricultural commodities as foodstuff human beings. Lignocellulose-derived sugars non-food, green, and sustainable alternative have great potential avoid this dilemma producing renewable, hydrocarbon fuel precursors, such microbial...
To develop pathways for advanced biofuel production, and to understand the impact of host metabolism environmental conditions on heterologous pathway engineering economic biofuels production from biomass, we seek redirect carbon flow model ethanologen Zymomonas mobilis produce desirable hydrocarbon intermediate 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO). 2,3-BDO is a bulk chemical building block, can be upgraded in high yields gasoline, diesel, jet fuel.2,3-BDO biosynthesis various bacterial species were...

Many real-world scenarios involve interfaces, particularly liquid–liquid that can fundamentally alter the dynamics of colloids. This is poorly understood for chemically active colloids release chemicals into their environment. We report here surprising discovery chemical micromotors─colloids convert fuels self-propulsion─move significantly faster at an oil–water interface than on a glass substrate. Typical speed increases ranged from 3 to 6 times up order magnitude and were observed...
The effect of mechanical refining on the enzymatic digestibility pretreated corn stover (PCS) was investigated. Low severity, dilute sulfuric acid PCS subjected to using a bench-scale food processor blender, PFI mill, 12-inch laboratory disk refiner, and 25 mm co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Glucose yields from hydrolysis were improved by 10-15% after blending refining, while extrusion showed glucose yield improvement 16-20%. A pilot scale test Szego mill performed approximately 10%...
