High-yielding method for chemical hydrolysis of lignocellulose into monosaccharides. The process of the invention can additionally be applied to cellulose, xylan and related biomass polysaccharides, such as galactan, mannan, or arabinan. The method is employed for hydrolysis of a biomass polysaccharide substrate. The process is carried out in an ionic liquid in which cellulose is soluble in the presence of catalytic acid at a temperature sufficiently high to initiate hydrolysis. Water is added to the reaction mixture after initiation of hydrolysis at a rate controlled to avoid precipitation yet avoid undesired sugar dehydration products such ad HMF. Hydrolysis product is useful as feedstock for fermentations including fermentation processes for ethanol, butanol and other fuels.
将木质纤维素化学水解成单糖的高产方法。本发明的过程还可应用于纤维素、木聚糖和相关生物质多糖,如半乳聚糖、甘露聚糖或阿拉伯聚糖。该方法用于水解生物质多糖底物。该过程在离子液体中进行,其中纤维素在存在催化酸的情况下可溶解,温度足够高以启动水解。在水解启动后,向反应混合物中控制添加水,以避免沉淀但避免不希望的糖脱水产物如HMF。水解产物可用作发酵的原料,包括乙醇、丁醇和其他燃料的发酵过程。
