Nota: Os líquidos iónicos próticos utilizados no processo são sintetizados no nosso laboratório, embora alguns possam ser ou tornar-se comercialmente disponíveis. Os líquidos iônicos resultantes são ácidas e provavelmente irritantes da pele / olho (dependendo da amina utilizada) corrosivo e, pelo que deve ser manuseado com cuidado usando EPI adequado (bata de laboratório, óculos de segurança, luvas resistentes). 1.

A técnica para o fraccionamento da biomassa lenhocelulica aqui apresentado produz uma polpa ricos em celulose e lignina. A maioria das hemiceluloses são dissolvidos no líquido iónico e hidrolisada, mas não recuperados. Se acares hemicelulicos são desejados, uma hemicelulose passo de pré-extracção antes da deslignificação Ionosolv pode ser necessário. Tem sido até agora impossível de fechar completamente o balanço de massa para a biomassa, uma vez que não é possível identificar e quantificar os produtos...

a demanda de energia da humanidade Reunião de forma sustentável é um dos maiores desafios que a nossa civilização enfrenta. O uso de energia está prevista para dobrar nos próximos 50 anos, colocando maior pressão sobre os recursos de combustíveis fósseis. 1 O acúmulo de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) na atmosfera através da generalizada uso de combustíveis fósseis é particularmente problemática, como o CO 2 gerado a partir da combustão de combustíveis fósseis é responsável por 50% do efeito de estufa antropogénico. 2 Portanto, a aplicação em grande escala de tecnologias neutras renováveis ​​e de carbono é essencial para satisfazer as maiores necessidades de energia e materiais das gerações futuras. 1, 3 biomassa de plantas é o recurso renovável mais versátil, uma vez que pode ser utilizado para produzir calor, electricidade, bem como produtos químicos à base de carbono, e materiais combustíveis. principais vantagens da biomassa lignocelulósica em relação a outros tipos de biomassa são sua abundância, potencial para altos rendimentos peárea de r de terra e frequentemente muito mais elevada poupança de emissões de CO 2, que inclui alta retenção de carbono no solo. 4, 5 Adicional benefícios da utilização da biomassa incluem a disponibilidade local, baixos requisitos de capital para converter biomassa em energia, ea prevenção da erosão do solo. 8 Grandes produtores de matérias-primas lignocelulósicas são a indústria florestal e no sector agrícola, bem como a gestão de resíduos urbanos. 6 produção de lignocelulose tem o potencial para ser expandida, com uma mente para limitar o desmatamento e evitar a substituição de culturas alimentares e liberação de potenciais poluentes. 7 para biomassa renovável para se tornar uma fonte generalizada viável de transporte de combustíveis líquidos e produtos químicos, seu processamento deve tornar-se economicamente competitiva com as tecnologias de conversão de combustíveis fósseis. 9, 10 a chave para alcançar este objetivo é aumentar a produtividade ea qualidade dos produtos intermédios derivados de biomassa, reduzindo custo. &lt;/ P&gt; Lignocelulose contém uma elevada proporção de açúcares que podem ser convertidos em combustíveis e produtos químicos através de conversões catalíticas e microbianas. 11 Estes açúcares estão presentes em lignocelulose em forma polimérica como celulose e hemicelulose. Eles podem ser hidrolisados ​​em glucose e outros açúcares monómeros e, em seguida, utilizado para a produção de etanol e outros produtos químicos derivados de bio e solventes. 12 Para acessar os açúcares celulósicos, o pré-tratamento da biomassa é necessário através de processos combinados físicos, químicos, ou 4. O pré-tratamento é sem dúvida o passo mais caro na valorização da biomassa lignocelulósica. Daí a investigação de processos de pré-tratamento melhorados é imperativo. Várias tecnologias de pré-tratamento estão disponíveis. De particular interesse são aqueles que separar a lenhina da celulose (pré-tratamento fractionative). A lignina, o terceiro componente principal emlignocelulose, limita o acesso de agentes para a celulose e hemicelulose hidrolisar e reduz o rendimento de açúcar por tonelada de matéria-prima. 11 A lignina separada pode ser utilizada como um biorrefinaria adicional intermédia se é isolado na qualidade adequada. 13 Um processo fractionative é o processo de Kraft que é o pré-tratamento mais comum para a produção de papel / celulose. No cozimento kraft, as aparas de madeira são colocados numa mistura de hidróxido de sódio e sulfeto de sódio e aqueceu-se a temperaturas elevadas de cerca de 170 ° C e sob alta pressão. 14 As reacções alcalinas remover hemicelulose e lignina, quebrando os polímeros de baixo para pequenos fragmentos via nucleofilica e catálise básica, e dissolvendo os fragmentos de lenhina por meio de-protonação de grupos hidroxilo / álcool fenólicos. Outro processo de deslignif icação comum é o processo Organosolv que também fragmentos e dissolve a lenhina e hemicelulose. Em vez de utilizar um aqueo alcalinonos solução, solventes orgânicos tais como etanol e ácido acético são utilizados a temperaturas elevadas variando entre 160-200 ° C e pressões de 5-30 bar. Organossolve pré-tratamento tem algumas vantagens sobre processos kraft na medida em que produz menos poluição do ar e da água. 15 Ambos os processos possuem alguns desafios económicos, se usado para a produção de produtos químicos e combustíveis, em vez de celulose. 16 O pré-tratamento Ionosolv usa líquidos iônicos, que são sais que têm pontos de fusão inferiores a 100 ° C e, como um resultado das suas interacções de Coulomb fortes, as pressões de vapor muito baixa. 17 Isto elimina a poluição do ar no processo de pré-tratamento, e permite o processamento em ou próximo da pressão atmosférica. Enquanto a maioria dos LIs são criados em trabalhoso, sínteses de várias etapas, a ILS próticos podem ser sintetizadas num processo de um-passo a partir de produtos químicos de base, o que os torna menos dispendioso; estima-se que cerca de LIs pode ser produzido em grandes quantidades para uma escalapreço de $ 1,24 por kg, que é comparável com solventes orgânicos comuns, tais como acetona e tolueno. 18 A capacidade de reciclar e reutilizar estes LIs personalização num processo que opera a temperaturas relativamente baixas e pressões torna esta uma alternativa mais benigna e um candidato economicamente atraente para biorefinação. Este protocolo de vídeo detalhada demonstra uma versão em escala laboratorial do processo Ionosolv para a deslignificação de biomassa lignocelulósica e a eventual sacarificação enzimática da celulose ricos em celulose, bem como a recuperação de um lignina livre de odor de alta pureza 19.

pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass with low-cost ionic liquids

A number of ionic liquids (ILs) with economically attractive production costs have recently received growing interest as media for the delignification of a variety of lignocellulosic feedstocks. Here we demonstrate the use of these low-cost protic ILs in the deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass (Ionosolv pretreatment), yielding cellulose and a purified lignin. In the most generic process, the protic ionic liquid is synthesized by accurate combination of aqueous acid and amine base. The water content is adjusted subsequently. For the delignification, the biomass is placed into a vessel with IL solution at elevated temperatures to dissolve the lignin and hemicellulose, leaving a cellulose-rich pulp ready for saccharification (hydrolysis to fermentable sugars). The lignin is later precipitated from the IL by the addition of water and recovered as a solid. The removal of the added water regenerates the ionic liquid, which can be reused multiple times. This protocol is useful to investigate the significant potential of protic ILs for use in commercial biomass pretreatment/lignin fractionation for producing biofuels or renewable chemicals and materials.

A quantidade exacta de remoção de lignina e a precipitação de lignina, celulose e recuperado um rendimento de glicose dependem do tipo de biomassa utilizada, a temperatura à qual o tratamento é administrado e a duração do tratamento. tempos de pré-tratamento curtos e baixas temperaturas conduzir a pré-tratamento incompleto, enquanto a temperaturas mais elevadas a celulose torna-se instável no líquido iónico, levando a hidrólise e a degradação. O líquido iónico seleccion...
