Pretreatment of partially delignified hybrid poplar for biofuels production: Characterization of organosolv hemicelluloses

In this study, extraction of hemicelluloses from the carbohydrate-enriched residues was successfully carried out with organic solvent and the residue was used for bio-based energy production. The chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of six hemicelluloses released were elucidated by a combination of sugar analysis, molecular determination, Fourier transform infrared, and ¹H, ¹³C and 2D-HSQC NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that the successful treatments resulted in a fractionation of the native hemicelluloses. The sugar analysis indicated that xylose (47.14-56.91%) was found to be the major sugar components and small amounts of glucose (14.1-19.06%) and mannose (12.41-18.09%) were also observed in these hemicellulosic fractions. Further studies by NMR spectroscopy exhibited that the acetylated hemicellulosic fraction had a main structure of (1 → 4)-linked β-d-xylopyranosyl backbone with 4-O-methyl-α-d-glucuronic acid as a side chain and a minor structure of linear β-(1 → 4)-linked glucomannans. Furthermore, these hemicelluloses possessed a low substituted degree which was beneficial for enzymatic saccharification.

Thermal transitions of the amorphous polymers in wheat straw

The thermal transitions of the amorphous polymers in wheat straw were investigated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The study included both natural and solvent extracted wheat straw, in moist (8-9% water content) and dry conditions, and was compared to spruce samples. Under these conditions two transitions arising from the glass transition of lignin and hemicelluloses have been identified. Key transitions attributed to softening of lignin were found at 53, 63 and 91 °C for moist samples of wheat straw, extracted straw and spruce, respectively. Transitions for hemicelluloses were determined at 2, −1 and 5 °C, respectively. Differences are likely due to different compositions of lignin and hemicelluloses from straw and spruce and structural differences between the raw materials. The high wax content in wheat straw resulted in a transition at about 40 °C which was absent in solvent extracted wheat straw samples and spruce. This specific transition was further investigated and confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of extracted wheat straw wax. Information about the thermal transitions is of great importance for the utilization of wheat straw in pelletizing, briquetting and fiber board manufacturing.     

龙竹微波水热法制备低聚木糖的研究

将龙竹粉在160、170、180、190和200℃下分别进行微波辅助水热处理与高温高压水热处理以制备低聚木糖,反应时间为45min,反应所用固液质量比为1∶10。2种反应均在180℃时获得最大低聚木糖产率,分别为31.4%(微波辅助法)和27.8%(水热法)。而微波辅助法相较于传统水热法具有低聚木糖得率高、反应加热效率快等优点,且产生的单糖和糖的降解产物较少,有利于低聚木糖的应用,表明微波水热法是一种快速、高效的制备低聚木糖的方法。     

Structural characterization and isolation of lignin and hemicelluloses from barley straw

Structural characterization and isolation of lignin and hemicelluloses from crops are very important for industrial utilization. In this paper, the sequential treatments of barley straw using 90% dioxane, 80% acidic dioxane, 100% dimethyl sulfoxide, and 8% NaOH released total 93% of original lignin and 87% of original hemicelluloses. The extractions with acidic dioxane and dimethyl sulfoxide produced the original hemicelluloses and high-condensed lignin mainly from the middle lamella. FT-IR and NMR analyses show that the hemicelluloses of barley straw contain acidic arabinxylans as the major polysaccharides, which are substituted by α-l-arabinofuranose, 4-O-methyl-glucuronic acid, acetyl group (DS = 0.13), and xylose at O-3 and/or O-2 of xylan, and lignin contains β-O-4′ as a predominant interunit linkage with high amounts of β-5′ and β-1′. The guaiacyl and syringyl units are more etherified, and the proportion of erythro-β-O-4′ is slightly higher than that of threo-β-O-4′ in the lignin of barley straw.     

Gorse (Ulex europæus) as a possible source of xylans by hydrothermal treatment

Autocatalytic hydrothermal process conditions were used to study Ulex europæus (Gorse) as a source of xylan compounds. The aim was to study the possibilities for using this unutilised biomass material to produce xylans. Ulex is an evergreen shrub that grows in the northwest of Spain and has no economic value. Therefore, Ulex is considered a promising candidate as a biomass source. Ulex showed a total xylose content of 12%, thus qualifying it as a suitable material to extract xylan-derived compounds. Autohydrolysis was applied to extract xylans from Ulex. To find the best conditions for xylan extraction, samples of Ulex were subjected to different temperatures and time conditions. Results indicate that autohydrolysis is a suitable method to selectively extract xylans at temperatures between 160 and 190 °C for 5-30 min, reaching a maximum xylan recovery of almost 63% of the initial xylan at 180 °C for 30 min, with only small effects on cellulose and lignin contents.     

Biorefinery of Cannabis sativa using one- and two-step steam treatments for the production of high quality fibres

Among the sources of lignocellulosic biomass that could be considered as a feedstock for a biorefinery, hemp (Cannabis sativa) is known for the quality and relative abundance of its fibre. In this work, two variations of the Feedstock Impregnation Rapid and Sequential Steam Treatment (FIRSST) process are compared for the production of both fibres and biomolecules (including liquid fuels) as the valorization of the entire carbon content of biomass is needed to reach economical viability. In the first variation, the fibres were isolated via two specific and sequential steam treatments while in the second variation, fibres were isolated using only one steam treatment. Both processes allowed the isolation of a fibre that was comparable to kraft pulp while reducing the amounts of ashes along the process. Compositions of the residual solid fibre at different steps of the treatment were evaluated using ASTM and TAPPI standard methods. Carbohydrates were identified and quantified using HPLC with an anion exchange stationary phase. The qualities of the FIRSST and Kraft pulp produced were compared using standard ATPPC methods. Both pulps showed similar indexes. The two-steps FIRSST process has leaded to direct isolation of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin that could be suitable for the production of energy (biofuels) and high value chemicals, with small investments in terms of chemicals and energy.
