Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for the production of pentose and hexose from a cellulosic material containing pentosans by -> 5 acid hydrolysis, said process comprising the step of heating the cel ⁇ lulosic material to an elevated temperature in the presence of a ? strong acid .
  • glucose can be prepared from various cellulosic materials, such as straw, sawdust, wood waste and sugar 10 cane bagasse, by heating the cellulosic material to an elevated tempe ⁇ rature in the presence of sulphuric acid .
  • Methods of this type have lately attracted considerable interest, partly because ' cellulosic raw materials are available in very large amounts and partly because there is a growing need for providing cheap glucose for use as a 15 starting material in the production of ethanol by fermentation .
  • hydrolysis of the pentosans to form xylose should also be carefully controlled in order to avoid that the hydrolysate, viz. xylose, is further converted into furfural .
  • the hydrolysis is effected at a tempe ⁇ rature of between 210 and 250°C for a period of between 5 and 90 seconds and in the presence of an acid having a concentration of from 0.2 to 2.0 % by weight.
  • the invention is based on the discovery that when using for example straw as starting material and by performing the hydro ⁇ lysis under the above mentioned operational conditions, it is possible to obtain a yield of xylose of about 50% (based on the amount of pentosans present in the starting material) together with a yield of glucose of above 50% (based on the amount of cellulose in the starting material).
  • the highest yields of xylose and glucose are obtained by effecting the hydrolysis at a temperature of from 225 to 235°C for a period of 30-60 seconds.
  • the reaction temperature and the reaction time should be carefully controlled and in a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention the acid hydrolysis is effected under pressure, e.g. at a pressure of 2-5 MPa in a tubular reactor and by heating the start ⁇ ing material by steam injection .
  • the reaction mixture can be rapidly heated and a corresponding rapid cooling can be effected by pressure relief, e. g . to atmospheric pressure.
  • the pressure- relieved product Is preferably further cooled or is neutral- ized by addition of base, such as Ca(OH) , in order to raise the pH value to 3 or above so as to stop the decomposition of glucose and xylose.
  • the neutralized product may then be filtered so as to form a filtrate containing xylose and glucose and a filter cake which option ⁇ ally after being dried is suitable as a solid fuel.
  • a filter cake which option ⁇ ally after being dried is suitable as a solid fuel.
  • the use of the filter cake as a solid fuel decreases the energy consumption of the process.
  • the filtrate may be separated into a xylose fraction and a glucose fraction but it is preferred to subject the filtrate to a fer ⁇ mentation before xylose is separated.
  • xylose is subse- quently separated, optionally in connection with part of the fermen ⁇ tation medium which is also suitable as animal feed together with the xylose.
  • the straw When using straw as starting material the straw is prefer ⁇ ably cut into pieces having a length of about 1-10 cm. When using other naturally occurring cellulosic materials containing pentosans, these should preferably be comminuted before the acid hydrolysis is started.
  • Examples of other suitable starting materials are sawdust, paper waste, bagasse, oat shells, corncobs and beet pulp.
  • the acid used is preferably a strong mineral acid, such as sulphuric acid, but also other mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acid are suitable.
  • Example 1 Barley straw was cut into lengths of about 1 cm and slurr ⁇ ed in a sulphuric acid solution .
  • the slurry thus obtained was pumped into a tubular reactor under a pressure of 3.2-4 MPa.
  • the temperature was raised to 230°C by direct injection of steam. After the injection of steam the acid concentration was 0.75%.
  • the tempera ⁇ ture was maintained for 30 seconds and then the pressure was sud ⁇ denly relieved to atmospheric pressure. As a result of said pressure relief a steam phase and an aqueous phase having a temperature of 100 C were formed .
  • the aqueous phase containing xylose and glucose was cooled to below 70°C.
  • Xylose was separated from the cooled aqueous phase in a yield of 63% (based on the weight of the pentosans present in the straw) and glucose was separated in a yield of 35% (based on the weight of the cellulose present in the straw) .
  • Example 3 The same procedure as described in Example 1 was used except that the reaction time was 41 seconds. The yield of xylose was 53% and the yield of glucose 41%.
  • Example 4 The same procedure as described in Example 1 was used, except that the concentration of the sulphuric acid solution was 0.63% and the reaction time was 45 seconds. The yield of xylose was 55% and the yield of glucose 48%.
  • Example 5 Barley straw was cut into lengths of about 3 cm and was pumped into a reactor under a pressure of 3.2-4 MPa. To the straw was added a sulfurlc acid solution of a temperature of 180 C and the mixture thus obtained was immediately heated to a temperature of 230 C by direct injection of steam . After the injection of steam the acid concentration was 0.8%. The temperature was maintained for 59 seconds and then the pressure was suddenly relieved to atmospheric pressure. As a result of said pressure relief a steam phase and an aqueous phase having a temperature of 100 C were formed . The aqueous phase containing xylose and glucose was cooled to below 70°C .
  • Xylose was recovered from the cooled aqueous phase in a yield of 18% (based on the weight of the pentosans present in the straw) and glucose was recovered in a yield of 53% (based on the weight of the cellulose present in the straw) .
