Adding tetrahydrofuran to dilute acid pretreatment provides new insights into substrate changes that greatly enhance biomass deconstruction by Clostridium thermocellum and fungal enzymes
Background Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) by anaerobes, such as Clostridium thermocellum, which combine enzyme production, hydrolysis, and fermentation are promising alternatives to historical economic challenges of using fungal enzymes for biological conversion of lignocellulosic biomass. However, limited research has integrated CBP with real pretreated biomass, and understanding how pretrea...
متن کاملDirected plant cell-wall accumulation of iron: embedding co-catalyst for efficient biomass conversion
BACKGROUND Plant lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant, renewable feedstock for the production of biobased fuels and chemicals. Previously, we showed that iron can act as a co-catalyst to improve the deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass. However, directly adding iron catalysts into biomass prior to pretreatment is diffusion limited, and increases the cost of biorefinery operations. Recent...
متن کاملConversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Nanocellulose: Structure and Chemical Process
Lignocellulosic biomass is a complex biopolymer that is primary composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The presence of cellulose in biomass is able to depolymerise into nanodimension biomaterial, with exceptional mechanical properties for biocomposites, pharmaceutical carriers, and electronic substrate's application. However, the entangled biomass ultrastructure consists of inherent ...
متن کاملTechno-economic Analysis of Small Scale Electricity Generation from the Lignocellulosic Biomass
In this study, the techno-economic analysis of lignocellulosic biomass conversion to electricity in a small scale power plant was conducted. The proposed process is based on the thermal pathway of electricity production from a carbon content feed. Woods, forest and agricultural residues were considered as the biomass feed, which are available extensively in Iran. Besides, the process benefits n...
متن کاملElectron and Helium Ion Imaging of Arabidopsis Affected by Genetic Mutation and Thermochemical Treatment for Biofuel Applications
Lignocellulosic biomass holds unlocked potential as biofuel feedstock. By enzymatic digestion or by pyrolysis, the biopolymers that compose plant cell walls are converted into liquid biofuels at the industrial scale. One strategy to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of these conversion processes is the use of genetically modified plants that produce biomass that is more amenable cataly...
