“…For miscanthus, only pores below 10 nm correlated strongly with hydrolysis, which proved that there is no generic pore size allowing an enhancement of hydrolysis yield and that diffusion of enzymes within the plant cell wall is specific to each biomass species (Herbaut et al, 2018). Other reports found that there is no correlation between pore size and hydrolysis yield, for dilute acid pre-treated corn stover (Ishizawa et al, 2007), pre-treated pine (Kruyeniski et al, 2019), and dilute acid pre-treated and delignified sugarcane (Santos et al, 2018). Moreover, Stoffel et al (2014) and Vaidya et al (2016) also showed that the increase of pore volume when lignin contents does not exceed 15% has a negligible effect on enzymatic digestibility of pre-treated pine.…”

“…Hemicelluloses act as a physical barrier limiting the accessibility of enzymes. It has been reported that removal of hemicelluloses by dilute acid or steam explosion pre-treatment could increase cellulose conversion by improving the accessibility of enzymes to cellulose (Auxenfans et al, 2017a;Herbaut et al, 2018;Santos et al, 2018). Kruyeniski et al (2019) reported that the removal of hemicelluloses on pre-treated pine improved the fibers porosity and the area available for enzymes.…”

Lignocellulosic Biomass: Understanding Recalcitrance and Predicting Hydrolysis

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Lignocellulosic biomass (LB) is an abundant and renewable resource from plants mainly composed of polysaccharides (cellulose and hemicelluloses) and an aromatic polymer (lignin). LB has a high potential as an alternative to fossil resources to produce second-generation biofuels and biosourced chemicals and materials without compromising global food security. One of the major limitations to LB valorisation is its recalcitrance to enzymatic hydrolysis caused by the heterogeneous multi-scale structure of plant cell walls. Factors affecting LB recalcitrance are strongly interconnected and difficult to dissociate. They can be divided into structural factors (cellulose specific surface area, cellulose crystallinity, degree of polymerization, pore size and volume) and chemical factors (composition and content in lignin, hemicelluloses, acetyl groups). Goal of this review is to propose an up-to-date survey of the relative impact of chemical and structural factors on biomass recalcitrance and of the most advanced techniques to evaluate these factors. Also, recent spectral and water-related measurements accurately predicting hydrolysis are presented. Overall, combination of relevant factors and specific measurements gathering simultaneously structural and chemical information should help to develop robust and efficient LB conversion processes into bioproducts.

“…These hemicelluloses represent a physical barrier limiting accessibility of the cellulosic fiber. Their removal during the pretreatment can enhance the conversion of cellulose by improving the accessibility of cellulose to enzymes [7,8]. Moreover, in nature, hemicellulose occurs esterified with acetyl groups [9,10].…”

Background: Biomass recalcitrance towards pretreatment and further processing can be related to the compositional and structural features of the biomass. However, the exact role and relative importance to those structural attributes has still to be further evaluated. Herein, ten different types of biomass currently considered to be important raw materials for biorefineries were chosen to be processed by the recently developed, acid-catalyzed OrganoCat pretreatment to produce cellulose-enriched pulp, sugars, and lignin with different amounts and qualities. Using wet chemistry analysis and NMR spectroscopy, the generic factors of lignocellulose recalcitrance towards OrganoCat were determined. Results: The different materials were processed applying different conditions (e.g., type of acid catalyst and temperature), and fractions with different qualities were obtained. Raw materials and products were characterized in terms of their compositional and structural features. For the first time, generic correlation coefficients were calculated between the measured chemical and structural features and the different OrganoCat product yields and qualities. Especially lignin-related factors displayed a detrimental role for enzymatic pulp hydrolysis, as well as sugar and lignin yield exhibiting inverse correlation coefficients. Hemicellulose appeared to have less impact, not being as detrimental as lignin factors, but xylan-O-acetylation was inversely correlated with product yield and qualities. Conclusion: These results illustrate the role of generic features of lignocellulosic recalcitrance towards acidic pretreatments and fractionation, exemplified in the OrganoCat strategy. Discriminating between types of lignocellulosic biomass and highlighting important compositional variables, the improved understanding of how these parameters affect OrganoCat products will ameliorate bioeconomic concepts from agricultural production to chemical products. Herein, a methodological approach is proposed.

“…And the higher temperatures led to the higher maximum solid removal at the same pH. This is mainly due to the increase of pH and temperature, which promote the dissociation of glycosidic bonds and β-aryl ether bonds [35]. The degradation and dissolution of hemicellulose and lignin were promoted.…”

To confirm the prospects for application of pre-corrected pH hydrothermal pretreatment in biorefineries, the effects of pH on the dissolution and degradation efficiency of carbohydrates were studied. The species composition of the hydrolysate was analyzed using high efficiency anion exchange chromatography and UV spectroscopy. The result showed that the greatest balance between the residual solid and total dissolved solids was obtained at pH 4 and 170 • C. Maximum recovery rates of cellulose and lignin were as expected, whereas hemicellulose had the least recovery rate. The hemicellulose extraction rate was 42.19%, and the oligomer form accounted for 93.39% of the product. The physicochemical properties of bamboo with or without pretreatment was characterized. Compared with the traditional hydrothermal pretreatment, the new pretreatment bamboo has higher fiber crystallinity and thermal stability. In the pretreatment process, the fracture of β-aryl ether bond was inhibited and the structural dissociation of lignin was reduced. The physicochemical properties of bamboo was protected while the hemicellulose was extracted efficiently. It provides theoretical support for the efficient utilization of all components of woody biomass.Polymers 2020, 12, 612 2 of 16 environmentally benign process that has been widely used for lignocellulose biomass pretreatment [15]. At present, the research on hydrothermal pretreatment focuses not only on wood materials, but also on bamboo and other non-wood materials [16,17]. The hemicellulose of bamboo was extracted in large quantities during the pretreatment, which effectively promoted the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency [18]. However, during the hydrothermal pretreatment of bamboo, the degradation of cellulose increased with the dissolution of hemicellulose [17]. Many factors considerably influence the hydrothermal pretreatment of biomass, such as the physical properties of the biomass and the physical and chemical properties [19]. Other factors include the type of reactor and the catalyst. The hydroxyaldehyde condensation reaction can be easily achieved under alkaline conditions [20,21]. Acidic conditions were found to be suitable for dehydration [22]. Sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide have been used to change the acid-base environment of the reaction. By adjusting the pH, the reaction direction can affect the direction to effective products [23]. High value utilization of woody biomass was promoted by hydrothermal pretreatment. For example, the separation and purification of cellulose were enhanced. The nanocellulose was prepared by oxidation of cellulose [24,25]. The application of nanocomposites was promoted by surface modification/surfactant polymerization of nanocellulose [26,27].A novel, pre-corrected pH hydrothermal pretreatment was performed to integrate pH control without additional steps or equipment, resulting in the best balance between the residual solid and dissolved solid [3]. A buffer system was established by pre-correcting the pH value of the extraction solution. It...
