Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the treatment . of a lignocellulosic biomass with concentrated ammonium hydroxide and preferably with ammonia gas to increase the availability of structural carbohydrates
- polysaccharides Preferably, steam under pressure is used to strip ammonia from the biomass for recycling.
- the present invention relates to a process which enables the efficient conversion of the polysaccharides to monosaccharides preferably by enzymatic hydrolysis.
- ammonia fiber explosion represents a unique and effective pretreatment for biologically converting lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol (Dale, B. E., 1986. U.S. Patent 5,037,663; Dale, B.E., 1991. U.S. Patent 4,600,590; Alizadeh, H., F. Teymouri, T.I. Gilbert, B. E. Dale, 2005. Pretreatment of Switchgrass by Ammonia Fiber Explosion. Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 121-124:1133-1141; Dale, B. E., 1991. U.S. Patent 4,600,590; Dale, B. E., 1986. U.S. Patent 5,037,663).
- AFEX pretreatment lignocellulosic biomass is exposed to concentrated ammonia at elevated pressures sufficient to maintain ammonia in liquid phase and moderate temperatures (e.g. around 100 0 C) . Residence times in the AFEX reactor are generally less than 30 minutes. To terminate the AFEX reaction, the pretreated biomass is depressurized (flashed) .
- the AFEX process is not limited to anhydrous ammonia with AFEX. Some water is added to the biomass, so that any- anhydrous ammonia is immediately converted into a concentrated ammonia water mixture on beginning the AFEX treatment . [0009] Recovery of ammonia used in AFEX pretreatment is a key objective when integrating AFEX into a broader biomass conversion process design.
- the existing ammonia recovery design (Eggeman, T. 2001. Ammonia Fiber Explosion Pretreatment for Bioethanol Production, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Subcontract No. LCO-1-31055-01) , which is depicted in Figure 1, calls for compressing ammonia, which is vaporized as a result of the flash operation, and separating liquid ammonia that remains in contact with the pretreated solids via evaporation in a dryer. The resulting vapor, which also contains water, is then delivered to a distillation column to purify the ammonia. The ammonia from the column is pumped up to pressure and, together with the compressed flash ammonia, is recycled to the AFEX reactor.
- Figure 1 shows the existing ammonia recovery approach.
- FIG 1 shows the prior art system 10 including a closed AFEX reactor vessel 12 into which biomass, water and ammonia are introduced under pressure. Valve V 1 is used to release pressure from the vessel 12. The treated biomass is transferred to a heated dryer 14. The dried biomass is transferred out of the dryer 14 for subsequent treatment. Ammonia from the dryer 14 is condensed by condenser 22 and sent to slurry column 16. Water is removed and condensed by condenser 18. Ammonia is condensed in condenser 20 and recycled to the vessel 12. Ammonia gas is pressurized in a compressor . 24, condensed and recycled into vessel 12. [0011] The problem is that the processes either produce low yields of the monosaccharides and/or require large amounts of liquid ammonia or ammonium hydroxide solutions.
- the present invention relates to a process for the treatment of structural carbohydrates in lignocellulosic biomass which comprises: (a) reacting the biomass with a heated aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution having a concentration greater than about 30% by weight ammonia in a closed vessel at 50 0 C or above at an elevated pressure from atmospheric pressure while simultaneously manipulating the temperature, a mass ratio of ammonia to a dry biomass and a mass ratio of water to the dry biomass to increase the digestibility and/or accessibility of the structural carbohydrates; (b) rapidly releasing the pressure in the vessel; (c) recovering at least some of the ammonia and ammonium hydroxide from the biomass and the solution; and (d) optionally further processing the treated biomass via enzymes, microbial conversion or animal digestive processes.
- the structural carbohydrates are recovered as a mixture of glucose, xylose, arabinose and other sugars in step
- the structural carbohydrates made available by the further treatment which is the microbial conversion which produces organic acids, alcohols, and other byproducts.
- the carbohydrates made available by the process are utilized by the animal digestive processes in either ruminant or non-ruminant animal diets.
- the temperature of the mixture of ammonia, biomass and water in the closed vessel is at a temperature between about 50 0 C and 120 0 C.
- the pressure in the closed vessel is between about 4 and 50 atm.
- ammonia gas is added to the vessel to fill any void space in the vessel . The ammonia treatment does not directly solubilize very much of the biomass.
- hemicellulose xylan polymer primarily
- glucan structural polysaccharides cellulose
- the present invention also relates to a process for the treatment of a lignocellulosic containing plant biomass comprising structural carbohydrates with water naturally present in the biomass to produce more digestible or accessible structural carbohydrates which comprises: (a) reacting the biomass with a heated aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution in an amount greater than about 30% by weight ammonia in the aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution in a closed vessel at an elevated pressure and at an elevated temperature without degrading the lignocellulose to remove the structural carbohydrates from the biomass into the solution, wherein an amount of water provided with the biomass is greater than 1% by weight and less than 50% by weight of the biomass; (b) releasing the pressure in the biomass in the vessel; (c) removing a slurry of the biomass with the structural carbohydrates from the vessel; and (d) stripping the ammonium hydroxide solution and ammonia from the slurry to provide the structural carbohydrates in the slurry, wherein greater than 85% of the available glucose in the structural carbohydrates can be recovered as a result
- the ammonia is recycled.
- the sugars comprise a mixture of xylose and glucose .
- a temperature of the mixture of ammonia, biomass and water in the closed vessel is between about 50 and 120 0 C.
- ammonia gas is added to fill any void space in the vessel.
- the pressure is released rapidly.
- the pressure is between about 6.9 and 20.7 atm.
- the present invention further relates to a process for recovery of ammonia from an ammonia fiber explosion (AFEX) treatment of a lignocellulosic biomass which comprises: (a) treating the biomass with an aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide in a closed reaction vessel under pressure to form a slurry; (b) releasing the pressure in the vessel of the reaction vessel and pumping the slurry to a stripping column,- (c) stripping ammonia from an upper portion of the stripping column, using steam under pressure with removal of a stripped slurry from a bottom portion of the column,- (d) introducing the stripped ammonia from the upper portion of the column into a mixer and adding water under pressure to the mixer to form a diluted aqueous ammonia solution; (e) cooling the diluted aqueous ammonia solution from the mixer; and (f) introducing the cooled aqueous ammonia solution into the reaction vessel along with the additional biomass under pressure.
- the reaction is continuous.
- Figure 1 is a process flow diagram for a prior art AFEX pretreatment with ammonia recovery and recycling.
- Figure 2 is a process flow diagram for the present invention for AFEX pretreatment with an efficient ammonia recovery.
- Cellulosic biomass contains large amounts of structural carbohydrates or polysaccharides (cellulose, hemicellulose, and the like) that can provide much less expensive single sugars for fermentation or non-biological transformation to a variety of products or as improved animal feeds.
- polysaccharides are difficult to access.
- the present invention provides pretreatment process using concentrated ammonium hydroxide under pressure to improve the accessibility/digestibility, of the polysaccharides from a cellulosic biomass .
- the present invention preferably uses combinations of anhydrous ammonia and concentrated ammonium hydroxide solutions to obtain results that are not obtained by either dilute ammonium hydroxide or anhydrous ammonia acting alone .
- the lignocellulosic material is treated with concentrated ammonium hydroxide in an amount greater than 30% by weight in an ammonium hydroxide solution.
- the process can be performed in a continuous reactor or a batch reactor as in the Examples.
- the biomass contains water which is naturally present. Typically this natural water represents about 1% to 20% by weight of the biomass-: In general this natural . water tends to be bound in the biomass and thus the water which is primarily relied upon is that added with the ammonium hydroxide solution. Water can also be added to the biomass and, if so, then this mixes with the ammonium hydroxide to provide the ammonium hydroxide solution. Up to 50% of the biomass can be added water.
- lignocellulosic biomass means a naturally derived lignin and cellulose based material. Such materials are, for instance, alfalfa, wheat straw, corn stover, wood fibers, and the like. Preferably the materials are comminuted into particles in a longest dimension.
- structural carbohydrates means the polysaccharide materials containing monosaccharide moieties available by hydrolysis .
- the mass ratio of a lignocellulose biomass to ammonia is preferably 1 to 1.
- the reaction temperature is preferably 90 C C; however the temperature can be between 50 0 C and 120 0 C.
- the pressure is preferably between 100 psia and 300 psi (6.9 to 20.7 atm) ; however, pressures between 4 and 50 atm can be used.
- Hot ammonium hydroxide/water solutions or hot ammonia/water vapors can be added to ground lignocellulosic biomass in a contained vessel to obtain final mixture temperatures of 50 0 C or above, preferably 90 0 C.
- a preferred ammonia to dry biomass mass weight ratio was about 0.2 to 1.0.
- a preferred water to dry biomass mass ratio was about 0.4 to
- Figure 2 shows the improved system 100 with AFEX reactor vessel .
- the slurry is sent directly to the stripping column 104 and condenser in condenser 106 and is sent to mixer
- High pressure steam is used in the stripping column 104 to remove the ammonia from the slurry.
- Condensers 110 and 112 are used to cool the water and ammonia mixture which is recycled into the vessel
- a 300 ml pressure vessel 102 was first filled with a given mass of corn stover wetted to the desired moisture level as indicated in Table 1 and the vessel 102 was sealed. Then a concentrated ammonium hydroxide mixture was prepared by mixing the right proportions of anhydrous ammonia and water in another pressure vessel and this mixture was added to the corn stover in the 300 mi reactor vessel 102 to achieve the desired final level of ammonia and water.
- the target was 1 kg of ammonia per kg of dry biomass and 0.6 kg of water per kg of dry biomass.
- the mixture of ammonia, water and biomass was then heated to 90 0 C, held at that temperature for 5 minutes and the pressure rapidly released.
- the resulting solid was hydrolyzed to mixtures of monosaccharides containing, for example, glucose, xylose and arabinose. .
- Comparative Example 1 shows the AFEX process described in U.S. Patent Nos . 4,600,590 and 5,037,663 to Dale, exemplified by Figure 1. Comparative Examples 16 to 19 (b) show the results at atmospheric pressure with ammonium hydroxide Example 20 (c) shows the process without ammonia.
- Table 1 shows the results for the conversion of corn stover to glucose and xylose following treatment with ammonia and water. The total amount of water, ammonia and biomass and the system temperature is the same in all cases. The biomass was treated with 1 kg of ammonia per 1 dry biomass (the untreated stover has a moisture content of about 15% dry basis) .
- Example 1 The experiments were run at 90 0 C with a five minute holding time at that temperature and the treated material of Example 1 was hydrolyzed with 15 filter paper units of cellulose per gram of cellulose in the stover. From the point of view of the final conditions to which the stover was subjected, these conditions are identical.
- the first two (2) columns of the Table show how this was done.
- the column titled "Ammonia Addition” shows whether the ammonia (as NH3) was added as anhydrous ammonia or as ammonium hydroxide (ammonia in water) .
- ammonia ammonia in water
- all NH3 means that all of the ammonia was added to the biomass as anhydrous liquid ammonia as in Example 1 directly from the pressure tank.
- ALL NH4OH means all of the ammonia was added as aqueous ammonium hydroxide .
- the second column shows whether the water was added to the stover directly or added as part of the ammonium hydroxide.
- Markets that can use this invention include: (1) the U.S. chemical industry which is beginning to move away from petroleum as a source of chemical feedstocks and is interested in inexpensive monosaccharides as platform chemicals for new, sustainable processes; (2) the fermentation industry, especially the fuel ethanol production industry which is also interested in inexpensive sugars from plant biomass; and (3) the animal feed industry which is strongly affected by the cost of available carbohydrates/calories for making animal feeds of various kinds .
- Example 16 describes two (2) design features that reduce process energy requirements relative to existing designs of ammonia recovery for AFEX pretreatment : (1) steam stripping of pretreated material; and (2) water quench condensation of ammonia vapor.
- Figure 2 presents a process flow sheet of these features in the context of the broader AFEX pretreatment design. Steam Stripping of Pretreated Material
- the pretreated material is flashed to a lower pressure, as in the existing design.
- the present invention uses steam-stripping of the resulting pretreated solids to recover residual ammonia. This feature enables the elimination of energy intensive solids drying that is used in the design of Figure 1.
- the processing equipment can be similar to that used for direct steam drying of solids for which there are an increasing number of commercial examples (Kudra, T., A. S. Mujumdar, 2002. Advanced Drying Technologies, New York, NY: Marcel Dekker, Inc.; Pronyk, C, S. Cenkowski, 2003. "Superheating Steam Drying Technologies," ASAE Meeting Presentation, Paper Number RRV03-0014. ) . Water Quench Condensation of Ammonia Vapor
- Ammonia vapor coming from the ammonia recovery steam stripping column is combined with ammonia vapor arising from the post-AFEX flash operation and condensed by first adding water in the mixer and then indirectly cooling the aqueous solution in two steps, first with cooling water, and then with chilled water. The condensed aqueous mixture is then pressurized via liquid pumping and recycled to the AFEX reactor. These steps eliminate the need for ammonia vapor compression that is used in the design of Figure 1. Utility of Invention
