Carbohydrate-aromatic interface and molecular architecture of lignocellulose

Alex Kirui et al.

Summary: In this study, the assembly of lignocellulosic components in plant stems and the interactions between polysaccharides and the aromatic polymer lignin are investigated using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The research shows that the extent of glycan-aromatic association varies in different types of plant stems, and lignin primarily interacts with xylan through non-covalent interactions and partially binds to the junction of xylan and cellulose surface. The unique feature of homogeneous mixing of all molecules in softwoods enables better water retention. These findings provide insights into the principles of polymer interactions underlying the heterogeneous architecture of lignocellulose, which can guide the rational design of more digestible plants and more efficient biomass-conversion pathways.

Prospects of utilizing seawater as a reaction medium for pretreatment and saccharification of rice straw

Binita Dev et al.

Summary: The transition towards a bio-based economy has led to an increasing demand for fresh water, making biofuel a high water footprint product. The depletion of fresh water resources has worsened the situation and requires the exploration of non-potable water for biorefinery purposes. In this study, seawater is used as an alternative reaction medium for pretreatment and saccharification of rice straw. The optimized pretreatment conditions were determined using Response Surface Methodology based on Box-Behnken Design, resulting in high cellulose release and reducing sugar yield. Physico-chemical studies confirmed the efficacy of the pretreatment by showing delignification and changes in surface morphology of the biomass. This finding suggests the potential of utilizing abundantly available seawater as a reaction medium for sustainable biofuel production.

Understanding the impact of different pretreatment methods on the conversion of Casuarina equisetifolia biomass to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and their energy cost assessment

Devi Sri Rajendran et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficiencies of different strategies for saccharification of Casuarina equisetifolia biomass and the synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from the sugars obtained. Alkali and acid treatments were found to be more efficient in converting biomass to sugar syrup, while microwave and ultrasound treatments had lower efficiencies. Alkali treatment was selected as the best method for sugar dehydration, resulting in a 21.9% yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Characterization and Valorization of Humins Produced by HMF Degradation in Ionic Liquids: A Valuable Carbonaceous Material for Antimony Removal

Amir Al Ghatta et al.

Summary: Research has shown that processing biomass in ionic liquids can maximize the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, but the low stability of HMF at high temperatures leads to the formation of humins through side reactions. By gaining a better understanding of humin formation and their potential application in metal extraction, humins show promise as effective adsorbents for water purification.

Facilitating enzymatic hydrolysis with a novel guaiacol-based deep eutectic solvent pretreatment

Chen Huang et al.

Summary: The study shows that the addition of trace AlCl3 during the enzymatic degradation process using DES can significantly enhance the degradation of hemicellulose and lignin, improving the enzymatic digestibility of pretreated plant fibers. Alkali washing is a feasible method to remove the precipitated lignin after degradation, which can significantly increase the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of the materials.
