Emerging role of nanobiocatalysts in hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass leading to sustainable bioethanol production

Catalytic conversion (hydrolysis) of carbohydrate polymers present in the lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars is a key step in the production of bioethanol. Although, acid and enzymatic catalysts are conventionally used for the catalysis of various lignocellulosic biomass, recently application of immobilized enzymes (biocatalysts) have been considered as the most promising approach. Immobilization of different biocatalysts such as cellulase, β-glucosidase, cellobiose, xylanase, laccase, etc. on support materials including nanomaterials to form nanobiocatalyst increases catalytic efficacy and stability of enzymes. Moreover, immobilization of biocatalysts on magnetic nanoparticles (magnetic nanobiocatalysts) facilitates easy recovery and reuse of biocatalysts. Therefore, utilization of nanobiocatalysts for catalysis of lignocellulosic biomass is helpful for the development of cost-effective and ecofriendly approach. In this review, we have discussed various conventional methods of hydrolysis and their limitations. Special emphasis has been made on nanobiocatalysts used for hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. Moreover, the other most important aspects, like nanofiltration of biomass, conversion of lignocellulose to nanocellulose, and toxicological issues associated with application of nanomaterials are also discussed.     

Second-generation ethanol production from steam exploded barley straw by Kluyveromyces marxianus CECT 10875

Barley straw is nowadays being considered a potential lignocellulosic raw material for fuel-ethanol production as an alternative to starch- or sugar-containing feedstock. In this work, several configuration strategies for ethanol production from steam-exploded barley straw by Kluyveromyces marxianus CECT 10875 have been studied with the aim of obtaining higher ethanol concentrations.Different substrate loading (2-15%, w/v) were studied during enzymatic hydrolysis. The xylanase contribution on glucose production and glucan conversion at different substrate loading was also investigated. In addition, three different process configurations, separate hydrolysis and fermentation, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and presaccharification and simultaneous saccharification, were compared at different water insoluble solids concentration (5%, 10% and 15%). The influence of xylanase addition on the ethanol yield was studied as well.Results show that endo-xylanases improved glucan conversion and ethanol yield compared with a standard enzymatic mixture, markedly at low substrate concentration. The positive effect of added xylanase was most evident at early stages of enzymatic hydrolysis. Regarding process configurations for the period of 72 h, SSF with endo-xylanases provided the best ethanol yield, nearly 70%, for 10% WIS. Nonetheless, the higher ethanol concentration, 29.4 g/l, was obtained at 15% WIS.

FAME Production and Fatty Acid Profiles from Moist Chlorella sp. and Nannochloropsis oculata Biomass

In the present study, we investigated the production of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from moist Chlorella sp. and Nannochloropsis oculata biomass using a hydrolysis–esterification process. Additionally, we evaluated for the first time the fatty acid profile before and after this process. Hydrolysis of the lipid fraction was performed on a moist biomass in the presence of differing amounts of an acid catalyst in both 50 and 100 % w/w water relative to the biomass. The esterification of the crude extracts of the free fatty acids (FFA) was then investigated. The experiments show that in the presence of 50 % w/w water relative to the biomass, the hydrolysis–esterification process results in higher FFA and FAME yields. The analysis of the fatty ester profiles did not reveal any degradation of the FFA from the microalgae biomass under the hydrolysis–esterification conditions. The results were compared with both extraction–transesterification and direct transesterification processes using dry biomass. The extraction–transesterification and hydrolysis–esterification processes resulted in similar FAME yields and similar profiles of the fatty esters from dry and moist biomass materials, respectively.

Pretreatment of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Helianthus tuberosus</Emphasis> residue by flow-through process for production of fermentable sugar

The pretreatment of Helianthus tuberosus residue was studied for fermentable sugar production. The pretreatment was performed by varying the temperature, type of chemical solution, and concentration. Two different catalytic pretreatments using sulfuric acid and aqueous ammonia were operated and compared in a flow-through column reactor system. The flow-through process was required to increase the sugar production yield of biomass. To selectively remove the lignin of biomass and achieve fractionation of hemicellulose in the liquid phase to produce pentose, the flow-through process could be controlled by the pretreatment conditions. Furthermore, the remaining solid underwent enzymatic hydrolysis for hexose production. The mass balances of biomass pretreated with aqueous ammonia and sulfuric acid solution were compared in terms of production of fermentable sugars. The glucose recovery compared to the initial biomass was 71.2% in the pretreatment using aqueous ammonia at 170 °C, and pretreatment using sulfuric acid solution at 150 °C was 52.3%.

Simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation of pulp mill primary clarifier sludge

Bioconversion of sludge from the primary clarifier of a sulphite pulping operation to ethanol offers a number of advantages over conventional disposal options. The amount of material which must be disposed of is reduced while, at the same time, salable and environmentally friendly fuel-ethanol is produced. In this study, primary clarifier sludge (PCS) was shown to be hydrolysed to produce fermentable sugars at a rate proportional to enzyme loading. Initial (1 hour) hydrolysis rates as high as 12.6 g reducing sugar/L · h were observed at an initial enzyme loading of 10 filter paper units (FPU)/g. Hydrolysis was inhibited by spent sulphite liquor (SSL), an inhibition which could be completely overcome by fermenting the SSL to remove sugars. Surfactants were found to only marginally improve the production of sugars. To reduce the deleterious effects of end product inhibition, single stage simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) was carried out using cellulase enzymes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Levulinic acid is considered as a promising green platform chemical derived from biomass. The kinetics of levulinic acid accumulation in the hydrolysis process of wheat straw was investigated in the study. Using dilute sulfuric acid as a catalyst, the ki-netic experiments were performed in a temperature range of 190-230&#61616;C and an acid concentration range of 1%-5% (by mass). A simple model of first-order series reactions was developed, which provided a satisfactory interpretation of the experimental results. The kinetics of main intermediates including sugar and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) were also established. The kinetic pa-rameters provided useful information for understanding the hydrolysis process.     

Catalysis in biomass processing

Biomass has in recent years been considered as a raw material for the production of fuels and chemicals. This work discusses the reasons for the increased interest in mainly lignocellulosic biomass. Gasification, pyrolysis, and depolymerization by hydrolysis are analyzed as key biomass technology. We also discuss which of the sugars obtained via depolymerization by hydrolysis can be processed into fuel or key intermediates of the chemical industry. Lignocellulosic biomass contains such extractants as fatty acids and terpenes, and we therefore describe the catalytic reactions of these substances for the synthesis of fuels and chemicals. Some typical reactions of biomass processing (oxidation, hydrogenation, cracking, etc.) are conceptually close to the process widely known in the refining and chemical industries. There are, however, other considerations due to, e.g., the large number of functional (hydroxyl and other) groups, and the processing of biomass components therefore requires dehydration, aldol condensation, ketonization, decarboxylation, etc. We cover the fundamentals of the approaches to selecting catalysts for these reactions.

Separation and recovery of the constituents from lignocellulosic biomass by using ionic liquids and acetic acid as co-solvents for mild hydrolysis

Previously, ionic liquids were found to partially dissolve lignocellulosic biomass. Here, it is reported that the biomass itself does not dissolve directly, but that it is hydrolyzed first before the constituents (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) dissolve into the ionic liquid. By addition of an acidic catalyst, this hydrolysis step can take place at milder conditions. Acetic acid is chosen as a suitable acidic catalyst, because it is already present in lignocellulosic biomass in the form of acetyl groups on the hemicellulose. Here, it is shown that acetic acid also works as co-solvent, increasing the solubility of the constituents of lignocellulosic biomass in the ionic liquid. The milder conditions for hydrolysis result in a higher degree of utilization of the lignocellulosic biomass, whereby all constituents can be fully recovered and further processed and the ionic liquid can be reused.

Model for Continual Depolymerization of Biomass Catalyzed by Dilute Sulfuric Acid

Ethanol fuel from biomass is conventionally produced via the hydrolysis of biomass catalyzed by acid. In this paper, it is understood that the degree of polymerization of cellulose is randomly distributed and that the rupture of β‐1,4‐glucosidic bonds during acidic hydrolysis of cellulose is a process of continual depolymerization. From this perception, a model is established for the continual depolymerization of cellulose catalyzed by acid. Meanwhile, analog computation resulted in the activation energy and the reaction rate constant related to the rupture of β‐1,4‐glucosidic bonds. The established model is highly validated by test runs and thus assumed as a model that can be used to describe the depolymerization route taken in acidic hydrolysis of cellulose. The calculated activation energy and rate constant for the rupture of β‐1,4‐glucosidic bonds correspond to the rule of acidic hydrolysis of cellulose. Investigation of the model is of great significance in further studies on the hydrolysis mechanism of cellulose.
