In static container to the continuous preliminary treatment of living beings
In the method for the invention, continuously with living beings to pretreated static container feed to produce pretreated biomass product.An embodiment of the static container preprocess method of continuous-feeding is shown in Figure 1.The aspect of method described below illustration in Fig. 1, hereinafter coding such as Fig. 1 are given.
Import the first end of described container with living beings, or entrance 10 and move through container 11 and arrive the reverse the second end of these containers or export 12.Use continuous-feeding device 13 (such as extruder, industrial baling press or concrete pumps) with described living beings feed in described container.Living beings can enter the gravity current of continuous-feeding device or energy input method (such as conveying worm) and move into feed hopper be used to this continuous-feeding device of packing into by driving raw material.
Because the power that applies of this charging gear, the living beings of importing this static state pretreating containers continuously move to this outlet of container from the entrance of this container.The scale ratio width of the entrance that this container has-outlet axle is bigger; For example, described container can be cylinder or pipeline (as Fig. 1).Be fed into the downstream of stomion in living beings, can use vapor seal to prevent that pretreating agent (comprising ammonia or steam) from escaping in the upstream and leave this entrance.This can pass through, for example, described living beings inlet point and ammonia/and the steam decanting point between obtain sufficient living beings swelling and realize to stop vapor escape to leave this entrance.In one embodiment, two kinds of different biomass materials become series to add, and, are mainly switchgrass or corn ear that is, have the iblet of grinding or the alternate area band of starch, and described starch is standing under the situation that hot water divides swelling and sealing.
The pipeline type container can comprise the expandable part 14 of one or more expansions to be realized providing the sufficient time of staying for preliminary treatment above the pipe diameter of the raising of entrance end diameter simultaneously in order to reduce whole container length.Contrast longer constant diameter pipeline, the diameter of described raising will reduce total frictional force.The diameter of described raising also will limit the living beings of feed towards the reverse movement of this feed entrance.
Can comprise in this container that one or more revolutions 15 reduce the overall dimension of described method.Described container can on the whole or have ever-increasing height 16 and promote described living beings on the one partial-length, thereby pretreated biomass product is left away near the inlet point place that holds container 17 in downstream or its, and the described container that holds can be saccharifier 18.This has eliminated bucket, conveying worm, lift or has been used for that pretreated biomass product is loaded into this saccharifier or other holds other need for equipment of container.
In the one or more positions along this container length, entrance 19 is used for the input pretreating agent, it comprises anhydrous ammonia and steam.As indicated above, these entrances are in the downstream of living beings feed entrance, with its apart from having reduced the escape of medicament by this living beings feed entrance.Pretreating agent is imported this container, and be subjected to pretreated living beings and be communicated with, its ratio is enough to as described below the living beings of packing into be carried out preliminary treatment.In addition, by directly injecting steam to this container or coming to provide heating to living beings by using the chuck that comprises heat medium (such as steam or deep fat) around this container to heat this container.
The end of container 20 is can right and wrong heat insulation, or is subjected to initiatively cooling, such as by using reactor jacket to carry out, thereby has realized that the temperature before living beings are discharged this container reduces.Can accelerate cooling to the direct sterilized water that injects in this process.
Pretreated biomass product is discharged this container in the exit.Described outlet can be the valve of leaving away, and such as articulated slab 21, it uses in swing check-valves.The controlled active force opposite with this stream can be used for controlling outlet pressure.
Excessive reagent (such as ammonia) can be caught and recirculation in described preprocess method.Ammonia and steam gas can be discharged in described pretreating containers, hold container 17 or hopper although these steams together discharge to enter with described pretreated living beings usually.Hold in the container described, described steam is inflatable and rise to be separated with described treated living beings, and is discharged from 22 and enter described preprocessing process along passage to be used for recirculating usually.
Alternatively, the ammonia of adding can be limited to essential stoichiometric ammonia, adds permissible ammonia remnants, thereby has avoided catching and the demand of the excess reagent that recirculates.
Use the preprocess method of ammonia steam
In the method for the invention, in the system of relatively dry, use anhydrous ammonia that the living beings (when it moves through this container) of the continuous-feeding of the static container of packing into are handled.When described system relatively dry, ammonia can thoroughly diffuse in the described living beings with the steam attitude, thereby need not mechanical mixture.Thereby by the moisture that keeps moisture in the reactor lowly to make being present in this reactor in conjunction with living beings and the void space of not packing into keep and make biological particles that vapor ammonia passes through or the open void space between the sheet piece.Therefore, the moisture in the described container is also non-constant, and this is because moisture higher at the interface at biological particles or sheet piece, and lower in the void space between biological particles or sheet piece.
Whole total moisture content in the described container keeps below in the gross mass 40 weight % in this container, and described gross mass comprises any other component of living beings, anhydrous ammonia and this container of adding, such as steam.Show according to this paper, in the method for the invention, just but the ammonia steam can penetrate described living beings without mechanical mixture carries out effective preliminary treatment to produce the biomass product of saccharification, and it is measured according to the sugared yield that produces as subsequent saccharification.Can between saccharificatinn period, produce the sugar of high-load at the sample of ammonia load point different distance place collection relatively.The sugar that produces in this paper example is in the scope of 57-68% of monomer wood sugar theoretical yield and in the scope of the 80-90% of monomer glucose theoretical yield.
In being used for the container of preprocess method of the present invention, need not mixed organization; It is static container.Described container can be Any shape, such as cylindrical, but and level or vertically towards, or comprise level or vertical part.Described container has one or more interfaces to be used for packing into living beings, ammonia and steam.Described container can move under the pressure between atmospheric pressure (gauge pressure 0) and 20 atmospheric pressure through making up being used for.Described container can have the device of direct its temperature of lifting, such as heating jacket.Described container is to be designed for the material that bears the ammonia steam, and can be the reactor of packed bed type.
The living beings of this container of packing into are generally lignocellulose biomass, and have the dry matter content at least about 60%.The percentage dry weight of described living beings can be about 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or higher.For example, the maize straw of new harvesting is generally about 70% dry weight, and living beings can be subjected to the dry dry that reaches higher percentage of handling, such as the air drying.In addition, living beings can reduce size before the container of packing into.Before container that living beings are packed into, mechanically it is reduced size usually, such as by cutting, cut or grinding.
By in the container that comprises living beings, packing anhydrous ammonia and make it penetrate described living beings with the living beings in container contacts anhydrous ammonia into.In the method, the major part of the living beings in the described container is contacted with anhydrous ammonia.Living beings above 50% are contacted with anhydrous ammonia.At least 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% living beings are contacted with anhydrous ammonia.
Add anhydrous ammonia with the amount (based on the living beings dry weight basis in the described container) at least about 4%.The concentration range of employed anhydrous ammonia is between about 4% and about 20%.Shown in the example 3 of this paper, compare with the effect of 3% anhydrous ammonia, use 6% ammonia to improve wood sugar yield from the anhydrous ammonia preprocessing biomass saccharification that produces.The introducing of anhydrous ammonia has improved the temperature of holding the container endogenous substance.
Can before adding anhydrous ammonia, improve the temperature of described reactor and/or living beings.Temperature can improve by any method directly or indirectly, and described method comprises by this container being executed heat (such as using heating jacket or heater coil), or by in this reaction vessel, introducing hot gas or steam, such as steam.Can inject steam with superheated steam or dry saturated steam form and avoid introducing moisture, in order to the total moisture content in the described container is kept 40 weight % of the gross mass that is lower than in this container.Moisture in the described container may mainly come from the gas of living beings and adding.When handling very dry living beings (such as the living beings that have less than about 15% moisture), then drying-free steam is kept 40% low total moisture content.Yet, all according to appointment 35% if living beings have higher moisture, use dry saturated steam.Desired temperature is generally in about 70 ℃ to 190 ℃ scope.Described temperature is usually between about 90 ℃ and 150 ℃.
In addition, can improve container inner pressure.Can use steam to inject to improve pressure.During pre-processing, pressure is kept between gauge pressure 0 atmospheric pressure and between less than 20 atmospheric pressure.Time of staying when living beings are passed through pretreating containers is between about 10 minutes to 5 hours.The described time of staying can be included in first section after living beings are packed into, and wherein said living beings moved into this container before running into for the entrance that injects pretreating agent (such as steam and ammonia).Usually second section in the time of staying injects steam and ammonia to contact described living beings and carries out preliminary treatment.This second section can be about 5 minutes to several hours.Pressure and temperature keeping during this period in the described container penetrates the condition of the void space between described biological particles or the sheet piece so that the ammonia that makes the steam attitude to be provided.Can there be the 3rd section (when described living beings approach outlet) in the time of staying, has wherein reduced temperature as mentioned above.
Last in the required time of staying, under the promotion that is subjected to the power that charging gear applies as mentioned above, pretreated biomass product is discharged described container by outlet.Described pretreated biomass product is in drying regime.It can be packed in next container by mechanical means or by gravity.
As noted above, but relevant pretreating agent recirculation.For the method for commericially feasible, recycle of ammonia is preferred.Can for example use ammonia steam control system recycle of ammonia steam by method known to those skilled in the art, the ammonia steam can carry out condensation and as ammoniacal liquor recirculation.Alternatively, the ammonia steam can be mainly with anhydrous state recirculation.
