Ionic liquid pretreatment of cellulosic biomass: Enzymatic hydrolysis and ionic liquid recycle

Abstract

Ionic liquids (ILs) are promising solvents for the pretreatment of biomass as certain ILs are able to completely solubilize lignocellulose. The cellulose can readily be precipitated with an anti‐solvent for further hydrolysis to glucose, but the anti‐solvent must be removed for the IL to be recovered and recycled. We describe the use of aqueous kosmotropic salt solutions to form a three‐phase system that precipitates the biomass, forming IL‐rich and salt‐rich phases. The phase behavior of [Emim][Ac] and aqueous phosphate salt systems is presented, together with a process for recycling the [Emim][Ac] and enzymatically hydrolyzing the cellulose. This process reduces the amount of water to be evaporated from recycled IL, permitting efficient recycle of the IL. Material balances on the process, with multiple recycles of the [Emim][Ac], quantify the major components from a Miscanthus feedstock through the pretreatment, separation, and enzymatic hydrolysis steps. A more rapid and higher yielding conversion of cellulose to glucose is obtained by use of the three‐phase system as compared to the cellulose obtained from biomass pretreated with IL and precipitated with water. The addition of a kosmotropic salt during the precipitation results in partial delignification of the biomass, which makes the substrate more accessible, enhancing the enzymatic hydrolysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
