Definitions
- the present invention provides methods and apparatus for the production of biofuel from plant materials. More specifically, the present invention provides an integrated process for the production of plant biomass such as Salix spp. and its conversion to ethanol and other valuable products.
- Woody biomass can be employed as a sustainable source of energy and is a valuable alternative to fossil fuels. More specifically, the biorefining of lignocellulosic material into fuel ethanol and lignin materials has the potential to displace a portion of petrol and oil based materials. It is likely that, with the depletion of global oil reserves and increasing awareness of the environmental and national security issues associated with dependence on fossil fuel, biomass will become a key resource for the production of transport fuel in much of the world. The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into fuel ethanol may offer the ideal solution given the rapid growth of short rotation crops such as shrub willow (Salix spp.).
- Two of the main components of wood, cellulose and hemicellulose, are polymers of simple sugars that can be converted into ethanol and/or other chemicals by fermentation.
- This ethanol can be used as a transportation fuel either on its own or as an ethanol-gasoline blend.
- Ethanol-gasoline blends of up to 10% ethanol can be used without any engine modification or loss in engine performance (Hunt, V.D. (1981) The Gasohol Handbook, New York, Industrial Press).
- Lignin the third main component of wood, is a potential raw material for the production of plastics, adhesives and resins (Lora and Glasser (2002) J. Polymers Environ. 10:39-47).
- Lignocellulose is a complex substrate composed of a mixture of carbohydrate polymers (namely cellulose and hemicellulose) and lignin.
- carbohydrate polymers namely cellulose and hemicellulose
- lignin carbohydrate polymers
- the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into ethanol relies mainly on the efficient separation of these cell wall components to allow the hydrolysis of the carbohydrates polymer into fermentable sugars.
- Most of the processes using high temperature or pressure with acid, caustic or organic solvent are able to provide a cellulose substrate that can be chemically or enzymatically converted into fermentable glucose (Wyman et al. (2005) Bioresource Technology 96:2026-2032; Mosier et al. (2005) Bioresource Technology 96:673-86).
- the efficient removal of lignin under mild conditions can be achieved using the OrganoSolvTM process.
- This type of pre-treatment involves the use of an aqueous organic solvent, usually ethanol, to achieve the simultaneous removal of the hemicellulose sugar and lignin in separated streams.
- the cost associated with the use of an ethanol solvent is reduced by producing the ethanol on site and efficiently recycling it, as taught, for example, by US Patent 5,788,812.
- the conversion rate of the cellulose solid fraction provided by aqueous ethanol pre-treatment is mainly affected by the . inefficient removal of the hemicellulose sugar when lower water/solvent ratios are used to maximize the lignin recovery (Holtzapple and Humphrey (1984) Biotechnol. Bioeng.
- the bioconversion of the pentose fraction presents a challenge.
- a lot of attention has therefore been focused on genetically engineering strains that can efficiently utilize pentose and convert them to useful compounds, such as ethanol (reviewed in: Aristidou and Penttila (2000) Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 11:187-198).
- the pentose fraction which is predominantly xylose in hardwood species such as Salix, can be recovered from the water stream and converted to xylitol for use as a valuable food product additive.
- By-product streams from this process may also be fractionated subject to market price.
- Furfural the easiest by-product to market, can be obtained by distillation from the same fraction.
- the acetic acid may also be recovered to produce peroxyacetic acid for pulp.
- Ethanol-soluble lignin is considered to be of higher value because of its ease of recovery and its suitability for a wide range of industrial applications compared with water-soluble lignin, such as that recovered from the Kraft process often employed by the pulp and paper industry. Extraction of Kraft lignin requires high volumes of solvent and has a narrower range of applications (Funaoka et al. (1995) Biotechnol. Bioeng.
- OrganoSolv lignin has a molecular weight of 700 to 1550 g/mol, low polydispersity, a glass transition temperature of 70 to 17O 0 C, a high relative amount of phenolic hydroxyl groups, and a low degree of chemical modification (Lora and Glasser (2002) Ibid; Kubo and Kadla (2004) Ibid; Lawoko et al. (2005) Ibid).
- This lignin can be used in the manufacture of molding compounds, urethane epoxy and formaldehyde resins, antioxidants and controlled-release agents.
- Ethanol-soluble lignin from hardwoods is recovered by diluting the aqueous ethanol pre-treatment effluent -with water and acid to form a solution with a pH of 1.5 to 2.7 and an alcohol content of 30% (v/v) (or a ratio of aqueous-ethanol effluent to the acid water of 0.35 to 0.70). After drying, the precipitated lignin is obtained in the form of a powder (US Patent 5,788,812).
- Acid catalyzed OrganoSolvTM pulping was originally developed by Theodor Kleinert as an environmentally preferred alternative to Kraft pulping (US Patent 3,585,104). It was later found that a variation of the operating conditions could very efficiently convert the lignocellulosic material to sugars and lignin. In the 1980s, a 16 liter continuous flow reactor pilot plant that processed bagasse to sugars was built (Dedini, Brazil). A concentrated solution of acetone with a small amount of acid was used to solubilize the lignocellulosic component of the bagasse (US Patent 4,409,032).
- the present invention provides an integrated process that allows for rapid production of high volumes of biomass, and the efficient and cost-effective use of plant biomass for production of ethanol, natural lignin, xylose and other co-products.
- the process employs an optimized pre-treatment that allows efficient fractionation of lignin and hemicelluloses without compromising ethanol yield. Due to the high cost associated with biomass production, the optimum utilization of all lignocellulosic components of the feedstock as marketable products is essential in order to obtain ethanol at a commercially competitive price. Due to the complex nature of the lignocellulosic components and the technical difficulties associated with their separation and conversion, a compromise in the recovery of all valuable components is required to reduce the cost of producing sugars from woody biomass.
- the pre-treatment process which is based on a combination of an OrganoSolvTM, or ethanol/water (for example 50% to 80% ethanol in water), treatment and a hot water wash, is optimized for the fractionation of Salix, and improves the overall biomass utilization by maximizing the lignin recovery, as well as the overall carbohydrate recovery, without compromising cellulose/glucose conversion.
- Product recovery under mild conditions is further improved by applying the pre-treatment in a continuous manner (Nagle et al. (2002) Biotechnol. Prog. 18:734-738; Yang and Wyman (2004) Ibid; Wyman et al. (2005) Ibid; Liu and Wyman (2005) Bioresour. Technol. 96:1978-1985).
- the economy of the inventive pre-treatment process is improved by avoiding the addition of chemical catalysts which are expensive, require neutralization of solid fractions, chemically modify and reduce the value of the recoverable lignin, and are costly to remove from the liquid stream.
- the inventive process employs hardwood, preferably Salix spp, although other plant materials, such as wheat straw, may also be effectively processed using the methods disclosed herein.
- Salix spp. offer the advantages of requiring low energy input in relation to the biomass produced, being easy to propagate from unrooted cuttings, having genetic diversity and a short breeding cycle, having good winter standing, being inexpensive to harvest and chip, and vigorously re-sprouting after each harvest.
- Salix In addition, growing of Salix requires significantly fewer pesticides than traditional agriculture, uses fewer herbicides than many crops and may be grown for ecosystem restoration (Kuzovkina and Quigley (2005) Water, Air, and Soil Pollution 162:183-204). Because Salix can grow with ease on marginal land, it is particularly suitable for restoration of used desert farming land (Wilkinson (1999) Biomass Bioenergy 16:263-275). Salix culture can contribute to the reduction of nutrient leaching, soil acidification and erosion, and has been shown to improve the nitrogen balance and increase soil fertility (Hasselgren (1998) Biomass Bioenergy 15:71-74; Borjesson (1999) Biomass Bioenergy 16:137-154; Roygard et al. (2001) J Environ. Qual. 29:1419-1432). Furthermore, like most woody crops, Salix production is carbon dioxide neutral, and is therefore strategically important in efforts to reduce global warming (Lemus and LaI (2005) Crit. Rev. Plant ScL 24:1-21).
- the process employs a low boiling solvent, preferably ethanol, for easy lignin recovery and solvent recycling.
- Ethanol also offers the advantage that it is a product of the processing of cellulose and therefore can be readily recycled as part of the biorefining process.
- Ethanol pretreatment without the use of an acid catalyst is preferred to achieve high recovery of chemically unmodified natural lignin with higher potential revenues and also to increase the recovery and integrity of the xylan polymer in the subsequent hot water treatment.
- the disclosed process which in certain embodiments uses continuous processing, also reduces the recondensation of lignin often seen in a batch reactor by allowing removal of solvent while still at temperatures well above the normal boiling point of the solvent.
- the process disclosed herein includes the following steps:
- the resulting glucose may then be fermented to produce ethanol, which is in turn recovered by way of distillation and dewatered by technologies such as use of a molecular sieve.
- the ethanol pretreatment (step (a)) may be carried out substantially in the absence of an acid catalyst.
- the reaction mixture may contain less than
- the ethanol pretreatment is carried out at a pH in the range of 3 to 9.5.
- the hot water treatment (step (c)) is carried out at a pH in the range of 2 to 7.

- the present invention provides an economically-viable integrated process for the biorefining of lignocellulosic material from plants, such as Salix spp., to produce ethanol and natural lignin.
- feedstock that may be effectively employed in the disclosed process include dedicated short rotation woody or herbaceous biomass (for example, Miscanthus, switchgrass), woody and agricultural waste (e.g., wheat straw, rice straw, corn stover or sugar cane bagasse) and dedicated energy crops
- the plant material is selected from the group consisting of: Salix, Poplar, Eucalyptus, switch grass, miscanthus, sugar cane bagasse, soybean stover, corn stover, rice straw, barley straw, wheat straw, corn fiber, wood fiber, and combinations thereof.
- the process employs a continuous flow counter-current or co-current digestor.
- a continuous flow counter-current or co-current digestor results in faster processing rates, increased throughput and increased efficiency.
- digestors run continuously, they require less maintenance and less labor than batch digestors.
- displacement wood pulping is more efficient than batch processes and differential reaction times are possible.
- Salix particles of approximately 5 mm to 5 cm in size are employed in the process disclosed herein.
- the first stage of the process disclosed herein is an OrganoSolvTM, or ethanol, extraction (illustrated schematically in Fig. 1). This involves continuous contacting of the wood chips with a counter-current flow of a solution of up to 70% ethanol hi water, undertaken at a temperature of approximately 170°C to 210°C and a pressure of 19-30 barg.
- the digestor is a screw contactor operating with wood chips being fed and discharged via cup and cone pressure plugs or feed screws. Solvent passes against the flow of solids so that chips exiting the machine are exposed to fresh (solute free) ethanol solution, while chips entering the digestor, which have the highest extractable content, are exposed to the most solute laden solvent solution.
- Solvent entering the digestor is pressure pumped to maintain the operating pressure therein and to provide the hydraulic drive to pass against the flow of chips.
- Solvent from within the digestor is re-circulated through external heaters, for example steam heaters, on a continuous basis to bring the wood chips up to the operating temperature quickly and to maintain the temperature.
- Operating conditions (such as time, temperature profile, pressure and solid/liquid ratio) within the digestor are optimized to provide maximum removal of water insoluble lignin from the wood chips. As the wood chips pass from the digestor and are exposed to lower pressures, a portion of the solvent content therein will evaporate, resulting in cooling of the wood chips.
- the wood chips are displaced in the digestor using gravity in a downward gradient. Solvent entering the digestor is pumped upward passing against the flow of solid.
- Chips discharged from this first stage of the process will still contain some ethanol which must be removed prior to the subsequent water extraction. This is achieved by means of a steam stripping operation.
- the vapors are recovered from both this operation and from the flash evaporation of depressurized solids, noted above, and are re-used directly with the fresh solvent stream. In this way the latent heat content of the vapors is recovered.
- the de-solventized and lignin-depleted chips then pass into a second stage of extraction (illustrated schematically in Fig.
- What remains of the initial wood chips after two stages of extraction will be primarily cellulose in a hydrolyzable pulp.
- This material is transferred to one of a series of batch SSF (simultaneous saccharification and fermentation) vessels, together with temperature-tolerant yeast, yeast growth media, cellulase, ⁇ -glucosidase, buffer and water to dilute the solids to the required solid/liquid ratio (illustrated schematically in Fig. 3).
- the cellulose is hydrolyzed to produce glucose, which is in turn fermented to produce ethanol.
- Low levels of ethanol are maintained in the fermentor by continuous removal of the produced ethanol to avoid fermentation inhibition.
- the process is optimized for maximum cellulose hydrolysis and fermentation to ethanol.
- the vessel contents at the end of the batch fermentation will be discharged via a filter and the retained solids will be recovered for disposal as cattle feed. Residual components in this fraction may also be recovered.
- the filtrate consisting primarily of ethanol and water, is concentrated to produce hydrous and/or anhydrous ethanol as desired, using methods well known to those of skill in the art.
- a portion of the hydrous ethanol product is re-utilized in the first, ethanol extraction, stage.
- the black liquor (ethanol/water/lignin solution) exiting the ethanol digester in the first stage is depressurized before passing to a flash cooling vessel in which the solvent (primarily ethanol) is evaporated. Further ethanol is then steam-stripped from the liquor prior to transfer to one of a series of batch vessels in which precipitation of lignin from the liquor is promoted through dilution (3 to 10 times) with water and lowering of pH ( ⁇ 3) by acid addition. The resulting lignin precipitate is then separated by filtration and dried as a crude product stream. The aqueous filtrate is combined with the hot water stream for xylose and water soluble product recovery.
- the hot water extraction product stream from the second stage containing primarily xylose (with some low molecular weight lignin, some glucose, and other C5 and C6 sugars) is depressurized before cooling by flash evaporation of water. As the temperature is dropped, the low molecular weight compounds and molecules precipitate from solution. These are then separated by filtration.
- the filtrate from the low molecular weight filtration contains the xylose fraction as well as a range of other components including furfural, acetic acid, para- hydroxybenzoic acid and vanillin.
- An additional module carries out concentration, decolorization, deionization and chromatography steps, and produces pure xylose.
- the ethanol and water streams can be recycled through the pulp biomass to increase product concentration, or processed for product recovery.
- These fractions from the ethanol/water distillation can be concentrated and recovered using methods well known in the art.
- Lignin concentrations were determined after chemical hydrolysis of the Salix chips (4 hours with 72% sulfuric acid at 102°C). Acid soluble lignin was measured by densitometry at 320 nm and the concentration of the non-acid soluble lignin was measured by weight minus ash. The percentage of glucan and xylan present in the samples were determined after chemical hydrolysis (4 hours with 72% sulfuric acid at 102 0 C). Acid soluble sugar was measured by HPLC using the appropriate range of xylose and glucose standards.
- the pre-treatment of Salix chips was tested in 100 ml experimental digestor and 3 1 packed-bed experimental digestor that were able to process 6 g and 300 g of dry wood chips, respectively.
- the design of these two digestors is illustrated in Fig. 5 (100 ml digestor) and Fig. 6 (3 1 packed-bed digestor).
- a 40 1 digestor was also designed and tested for the recovery of natural lignin from Salix biomass at larger scale (Fig. 7). This 40 1 digestor is able to process 6 kg of dry biomass.
- the 100 ml capacity experimental pre-treatment digestor 1 consisted of a one inch tube 10 with an externally coiled heating coil 11 and fiberglass insulation 19.
- Tube 10 was connected to a SwagelokTM end-cap 12 which in turn was connected to a welded pressure transducer 13 by means of a 1 A inch tube 14 and to a thermocouple port 15.
- the other end of tube 10 was connected to a one inch integral bonnet needle valve 16 connected to a collection tube 17 of the same length, which in turn was connected to a 1 A inch integral bonnet needle valve 20.
- the temperature was controlled by a thermocouple 18 wedged underneath the heating coil and connected to a controller 21. This configuration facilitated the removal of solvent at a temperature well above the boiling point of the solvent.
- the digestor of Fig. 5 was loaded with 6.54 g of dried wood chips and 83.5 ml of ethanol (50 to 70%). The digestor was sealed at all SwagelokTM fittings and the bonnet needle valve closed. The digestor was then heated to the selected process temperature (170°C -195 0 C) while being agitated manually to ensure that the process reached equilibrium quickly. Once the desired temperature was reached, the reaction was allowed to proceed for 60 minutes with periodic manual agitation. At the end of the reaction time, the digestor was inverted and the bonnet needle valve opened to allow the solvent to drain into the collection tube. A fine mesh, positioned in the digestor against the valve, retained the solid fraction in the reaction vessel. The content of the digestor was cooled down and the solvent was removed from the collection tube.
- the digestor was filled with 90 ml of wash water, sealed and heated to a specified temperature in the range of 180 to 22O 0 C. After the desired incubation time at the target temperature, the hot water was removed using the same method as described for solvent removal. The remaining pulp was dried and submitted to hydrolysis.
- the 3 1 packed-bed digestor 23 shown in Fig. 6 consisted of a stainless steel digestion chamber 25 housing a wire mesh sample basket 27 and sealed with SwagelokTM end cap fittings 26. There were four outlets and two inlets from the digestion chamber 25.
- a 1 A" tube outlet 24 connected the digestion chamber 25 to a pressure transducer 32.
- a 1 A" tube pressure relief valve outlet 28 housed a pressure thermocouple 39 measuring the pressure in digestion chamber 25, and was connected to a 50 barg pressure relief valve 38 and a water tank inlet 54.
- a 3 A" tube circulating fluid inlet 33 allowed re-circulation of fluids into digestion chamber 25 and application of pressure from a pressurized nitrogen cylinder through a nitrogen cylinder connector 44.
- a l" tube circulating fluid outlet 40 allowed re-circulation of circulating fluids out of digestion chamber 25 and a 1/8" tube thermocouple inlet 55 measured the temperature inside the digestion chamber 25.
- a thermocouple 56 connected to a circulating fluid tube 45 measured the temperature of the circulating fluid in the circulating fluid tube.
- a motor 34 rotated a shaft 46 housed in a 2" tube 48 that was connected to a variable speed drive pump 31 containing four propellers 47 and sealed using several ECOFLON 2 rotary seals.
- Pump shaft T pieces 49 held the 2" tube 48 in place.
- shaft 46 is rotated at a speed of 1,400-2,800 rpm, fluid is forced through pump 31 and circulated through heating loop 29 containing a heater construction 35, and through the digestion chamber 25 to enable co- or counter-current continuous flow.
- a recycle line T piece 51 was connected to a needle valve 36 and a 10 ml bottle 37 to enable taking of circulating fluid samples when the digestor is operating.
- valve 36 was opened and bottle 37 filled. The valve 36 was then closed, and bottle 37 was cooled and removed for sample analysis.
- the heater construction 35 consisted of a 3 A" heating tube 52 with six electrical heating elements 53 sealed onto it with conductive cement.
- the heating elements 53 were connected to a controller 41, which was connected to a control thermocouple 42 measuring the temperature of the circulating fluid in the middle of heating loop 29, and an over-temperature controller 43 set at 250°C and measuring the temperature of the circulating fluid near an outlet SO of heating loop 29.
- the heating tube 52 was insulated with fiberglass.
- the 3 1 packed-bed digestor shown in Fig. 6 functioned under the same principle as the 100 ml digestor with the exception that the digestion chamber 25 contained the biomass within wire mesh sample basket 27 and the solvent was circulated within the heating loop 29 by way of variable speed drive pump 31. The solvent was heated electrically to ensure that the target temperature for digestion was reached. The kinetics of the extraction process was determined by collecting samples of the mobile solvent by way of needle valve 36 and 10 ml bottle 37 situated downstream of the pump.
- the chipped wood feedstock (up to 300 g) was placed in the wire mesh sample basket 27, which fitted tightly inside the vessel.
- the vessel with the sample basket was filled with up to 3 1 of solvent, and the reactor was sealed tightly with SwagelokTM fittings.
- the recycle loop was filled with liquid by adding water through the water tank inlet 54. When the reactor was sealed completely, the circulator and temperature controllers were switched on.
- the pressure transducer 32, thermocouples 39 and 55 in the reactor, and thermocouple 56 on the tube surface 61 were monitored using a PicoLog Recorder (Pico Technology, Cambridge, UK).
- the 40 1 packed-bed digestor shown in Fig. 7 was fabricated from a section of 210 mm high-pressure mild steel tubing which formed a reactor vessel 64.
- a surrounding 300 mm tube formed a heating coil 63 which was partitioned by a spiral steel baffle into a spiral flow channel.
- the reactor vessel 64 and heating coil 63 were surrounded by glass fiber insulation 62.
- the heating coil 63 was connected to an oil heating circuit 76 and oil inside the oil heating circuit 76 was heated by a heater 69 driven by 6 kW of electrical heating elements.
- the oil was circulated through the oil heating circuit 76 by a pump 68, and could also be diverted by two loop valves 71 to a cooling loop 72 immersed in a water bath 77 to enable faster cooling of the reactor vessel 64.
- the heater and pump were controlled by a thermostat 70 and a process controller 67.
- An oil reservoir 73 connected to the oil heating circuit 76 was used to accommodate thermal expansion of the oil.
- the reactor vessel 64 was filled with about 6 kg of Salix biomass and 30 to 40 liters of 70% ethanol via a funnel 57 and an upper ball valve 58.
- the reactor vessel 64 was then sealed and heated, taking 3 to 4 hours to reach operating temperature (185°C).
- the temperature was monitored by a temperature probe 61 and the pressure by a pressure gauge 59.
- the pressure gauge was connected to a pressure relief valve 60.
- a sampling port 66 was attached to a lower ball valve 65 in the reactor vessel 64.
- a liquid sampling valve (not shown) can be attached to the sampling port 66.
- oil circulation was switched to the cooling loop 72 by means of the loop valves 71 and the reactor vessel 64 allowed to cool.
- the treated biomass in the form of lignin-containing black liquor was drained from the reactor vessel 64 by means of the lower ball valve 65 and sampling port 66, and washed with 70% ethanol and water to remove additional lignin.
- a steam explosion valve (not shown) to the sampling port 66 enabled a steam explosion step to be performed on the biomass while still at high temperature and pressure.
- Salix biomass was fractionated into two fractions: 1) an ethanol and/or water soluble fraction (hydrolysate, Hyd.), and 2) a solid fraction (pulp).
- the mass in the hydrolysate represents the dry mass (DM) recovered after evaporation of hydrolysate, and the mass in the pulp fraction corresponded to the DM of the residual insoluble material yielded after each pre-treatment.
- Fig. 10 presents the average amount of DM removed (expressed as a percentage of the initial DM loaded) in a set of five experiments performed in the 3 1 packed-bed digestor with 70% ethanol for 60 to 480 minutes at a temperature varying between 175 0 C and 195 0 C.
- This set of data obtained from the pre-treatment of 250 g of dry Salix chips, was compared with the percentage of mass removed with 70% ethanol using the smaller (100 ml; 6.54 g) or larger (40 1 batch; 30 to 40 kg) digestors at various times.
- Fig. 8 shows that a three times longer incubation was required using the 3 1 packed-bed digestor to remove comparable amounts of dry matter as the smaller, 100 ml digestor in 60 min. Therefore, incubation times varying between 200 and 400 minutes were assayed for optimum mass removal in the larger 40 1 digestor. As shown in Fig. 8, in this range of incubation time, 20 to 30% of the input DM was efficiently removed with 70% ethanol at the 40 1 scale.
- Fig. 9 illustrates the ratio of dry matter and lignin removed by the 70% ethanol as the percentage of the DM loaded, with the results for the 3 1 digestor being shown in Fig. 9 A and the results for the 40 1 batch digestor being shown in Fig. 9B.
- the average DM removed in 22 extractions with 70% ethanol in the 40 1 batch digestor was 25 % ⁇ 3 in a running time varying between 200 and 400 minutes at an initial liquid loading ratio (iLLR; 1 solvent per kg iDM).
- Fig. 10 presents the ratio of DM removed when untreated Salix dry chips and Salix dry chips pre-treated with 70% ethanol were treated with hot water (170°C to 195 0 C) in the 100 ml and 3 1 digestors. As seen earlier with the 70% ethanol treatment, the ratio of DM remove removed was lower when using the 3 1 packed-bed as compared with the smaller 100 ml digestor. Fig. 10 also shows that an increased incubation time of the untreated chips in the hot water did not result in an increase of DM removed as it did for longer incubation in 70% ethanol (shown in Fig. 8). As in the 100 ml digestor, when the hot water treatment of Salix chips that were pre-treated with 70% ethanol was performed in the 3 1 packed-bed digestor, an additional 10% of DM removal was achieved.
- Table 3 shows the representative composition of the hydrolysate and pulp fraction obtained after sequential treatment of 6.54 g, 250 g or 35 kg of Salix chips with 70% ethanol at 175 0 C to 195 0 C for 60 to 345 minutes followed by water treatment at 17O 0 C to 195 0 C for 30 to 375 minutes.
- the composition of the comparative untreated Salix was the average of the analysis of untreated Salix varieties described in Table 1.
- the concentration of lignin in the hydrolysate sample was determined after aqueous acid precipitation of the lignin, separation and drying and weighting of the precipitate lignin. This weight measurement of lignin concentration was shown to correlate with measurement obtained by size exclusion chromatography of the same precipitated lignin and interpretation of the retention time with reference to appropriate pre-run peptide standards.
- the glucose and xylan concentration in the hydrolysate was directly measured by HPLC using the appropriate range of standards.
- the composition of the pulp was assessed as described earlier for the untreated Salix chips.
- the sequential 70% ethanol and hot water treatment resulted in the removal of over 30% of the total lignin content of the untreated chips (Table 3 below).
- the majority of the lignin (28 to 32%) was solubilized during the primary treatment with 70% ethanol solvent and an additional 3 to 8 % of the initial lignin was removed in the subsequent water treatment.
- the ratio of lignin to DM removed by the 70% ethanol treatment reached 35% in the first hour of treatment at a temperature of 170°C to 19O 0 C using the 100 ml and the 3 1 packed-bed digestors.
- Fig. 11 also shows that, in the 40 1 batch digestor, the ratio of lignin to DM removed varied between 30 to 48% when Salix dry chips were treated with 70% ethanol solvent.
- Fig. 12 illustrates the proportion of the total lignin content in the untreated chips that was recovered in the 70% ethanol solvent using each of the three digesters. The higher recovery of lignin (32% ⁇ 3) in 60 minutes, using the smaller 100 ml digestor, reflects the higher rate of DM removal achieved with this digestor.
- the amount of lignin recovered using the 40 1 batch digestor varied between 22 and 44% of the initial lignin content of the Salix chips corresponding to 6 to 13 % of the initially DM loaded.
- Fig. 13 shows the ratio of DM and lignin removed by hot water treatment using the 100 ml and 3 1 packed-bed digesters, expressed as a percentage of the DM loaded.
- the lignin precipitated from the ethanol hydrolysate by addition of acidic water had an average molecular weight of approximately 2,000 Daltons and was estimated to be small pentameric to decameric polymers with a guaiacybsyringyl unit ration of 1 :4 as shown by NMR spectroscopy analysis. NMR analysis also showed that the Salix lignin underwent little modification under the optimum pre-treatment conditions (70% ethanol at 195 0 C for 60 minutes).
- Table 3 shows the composition of treated Salix wood chips after pre-treatment with 70% ethanol at 175°C to 195 0 C (60 min in 100 ml digestor, 180 min in the 3 1 packed-bed digestor and 345 min in the 40 1 batch digestor) followed by water treatment at 170°C to 19O 0 C (30 min in the 100 ml digestor, 180 min in the 3 1 packed-bed digestor and 375 min in the 40 1 batch digestor), compared with untreated Salix wood chips.
- Table 3 shows the composition of treated Salix wood chips after pre-treatment with 70% ethanol at 175°C to 195 0 C (60 min in 100 ml digestor, 180 min in the 3 1 packed-bed digestor and 345 min in the 40 1 batch digestor) followed by water treatment at 170°C to 19O 0 C (30 min in the 100 ml digestor, 180 min in the 3 1 packed-bed digestor and 375 min in the 40 1 batch digestor), compared with untreated Salix wood chips.
- Table 3 shows the
- Glucose recovery and fermentation to ethanol Pre-treatment of S ⁇ lix chips yielded most of the cellulose in the pulp as shown by the recovery of more than 98% of the total input glucan in this fraction at each of the digestor scales tested (100 ml, 3 1 or 40 1 digestors, Table 3). As shown in Fig.
- Glucose was fermented to ethanol using 64 ml hydrolysate and 4.5 ml Still Spirits Temperature Tolerant Turbo Yeast (Brewcraft USA, Portland, OR) in 6.4 ml 10x YP medium (YP medium: 100 g/1 yeast extract and 200 g/1 peptone). The reaction was allowed to proceed at 40°C with agitation at 200 rpm until the growth curve of the yeast had reached a plateau, determined by measuring the OD 600 of hourly samples. The amount of ethanol and remaining glucose in the medium was determined by HPLC.
- Fig. 15 shows the level of accumulation of xylose and furfural in the hot water applied after the 70% ethanol pre-treatment in the 3 1 packed-bed digestor.
- the level of xylose peaked at 2.4 % of the DM loaded (24% of the total xylose available) after 120 min, at which time the level of furfural production increased, indicating further degradation of the xylose yielded through efficient hydrolysis of hemicellulose sugar.
- the cellulose pulp that was produced after the 70% ethanol pre-treatment and longer hot water treatment contained greatly reduced levels of xylose (Table 3, ⁇ 0.1% of DM loaded).
- Fig. 15 Another indication of efficient hemicellulose hydrolysis during the hot water treatment was the formation of acetic acid as a consequence of the deacetylation of the acetylated moiety of hemicellulose (Fig. 15). Fig. 15 also shows that the amount of glucose was maintained at a low level during all times, indicating that the hot water treatment did not result in cellulose hydrolysis.
- Table 5 shows the mass composition of untreated wheat straw and the composition of the hydrolysates and pulp produced during ethanol-water pre- treatment of the same wheat straw.
- the pre-treatment was applied as described above for the ethanol-water pre-treatment of the Salix chips in the 40 1 batch digestor.
- Example 3 Micropropagation of Salix spp. The technique of micropropagation was used to rapidly develop large numbers of clonal Salix spp. plantlets at low cost. Planting stakes of S. viminalis and S. Whyii 'Kinuyanagi' were produced via micropropagation as follows.
- micro-cuttings were placed into MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium (Sigma, St Louis MO; Murashige and Skoog, Physiol. Plant. 15:473-497, 1962) or M c Cown Woody Plant medium (Duchefa, Haarlem, Netherlands; Lloyd and McCown, Proc. Int. Plant Prop. Soc. 30:421-427, 1981) supplemented with 0.1 to l.O mg/1 BA (benzyladenine) and 0.1 to 1.0 g/1 activated charcoal, and incubated in a plant growth room at 24°C with a 16-hour photoperiod. Four weeks later, a shoot (2-4 cm long) and several roots were produced from each micro-cutting to form a plantlet. The plantlets were cut again into micro- cuttings and cultured in M c Cown Woody Plant medium to increase the number of plantlets. This process may be repeated every four weeks. Plantlets were transplanted into potting mix in 25 ml cells.
- plantlets Following transfer in soil, plantlets were kept in growth chamber containing 100% humidity for one week before being exposed to normal humidity conditions. Four weeks after transfer into potting mix, plantlets of 10-15 cm high were cut into 3- 5 cm segments (containing a least 2 nodes) that were re-planted in potting mix in 25 ml cells to further increase the number of plantlets. Alternatively, the plantlets can be transplanted into the field seven weeks after initial transfer from culture media to potting mix, or after three weeks when the plantlet was produced from another plantlet in potting mix.
- Nicotinic acid 0.50 mg/1
- Salix viminalis a male clone
- Salix schwerinii 'Kinuyanagi' an infertile male clone
- These cultivars were initially selected on the basis that commercial nurseries considered them to be high yielding and resistant to insect pests such as sawfly.
- the trials were established using 20 to 33 cm dormant stem cuttings planted at a stocking often to twelve thousand stem per hectare. Parameters that were evaluated for the optimum biomass production included planting density, stake length, soil preparation methods, fertilization regime, insect and weed management, and harvesting method.
- the trial consisted of 32 plots (16 per species), testing site preparation of ripping compared with no ripping and cutting length. Cutting lengths of 20, 25 and 33 cm were tested. Weed control using Gardoprim (Orion Crop Protection Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand) was applied to all plots. No fertilizer was applied due to the need to benchmark soil and foliage analysis in the first year. The designated measurement plot of forty trees was assessed in May 2006. Height of the dominant shoot, number of leaders greater than 50 cm from each cutting and the number of live cuttings converted to a stocking (stems/ha) was recorded (Table 6).
