Design of Wall-Destructive but Membrane-Compatible Solvents
摘要:
We report an extremely biocompatible solvent for plant cell walls based on a polar liquid zwitterion that dissolves cellulose, the most recalcitrant component of the plant cell walls. The polar liquid zwitterion does not affect the viability and activity of Escherichia coli, even at high concentrations. We demonstrate conversion of cell walls to ethanol via a starch-like process, namely successive dissolution, hydrolysis and fermentation in the same reaction pot.

Method and apparatus for enhanced production of sugars and lignin via fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass through ionic liquid pretreatment and mild alkaline treatment. The resulting biomass is easily fractionated and amenable to efficient and rapid enzymatic hydrolysis or acid hydrolysis and catalytic conversion to valuable products with high recovery of the enzymes used in the hydrolysis.
