Problems solved by technology

Bio-based polar aprotic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and furfural are themselves biomass hydrolysis products, replacing part of the water is beneficial to improve the mass transfer characteristics of the system and the solubility of lignin, and solve the problem of high-temperature liquid water pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass Medium hemicellulose cannot be further hydrolyzed, and the removal rate of lignin is low, which hinders the subsequent dehydrolysis of cellulase and cellulose, and also solves the problem of high water consumption and high dosage of cellulase

Embodiment 1

[0018] Embodiment 1: High temperature liquid water / tetrahydrofuran system

[0019] Using switchgrass as a raw material, pulverize it to 100-200 mesh, put it into an intermittently stirred high-pressure reaction tank, add a tetrahydrofuran / water mixed solution with a volume concentration of 1% according to the substrate mass concentration of 10%, and seal the reaction system. Heat to 165-175°C and stir at 500rpm, feed carbon dioxide to keep the reaction pressure at 3Mpa and hydrolyze for 40min. The removal rate was 74.5%, and the direct distillation of the liquid phase reclaimed tetrahydrofuran and was recycled as the next reaction solution. The remaining water phase was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, and the recovery rate of total xylose (comprising xylose and xylooligosaccharides) was 81.8%. %, which is about 3 times that of the case without adding tetrahydrofuran (the high-temperature liquid water treatment conditions are the same). The solid phase resi...

[0020] Embodiment 2: high temperature liquid water / tetrahydrofuran system

[0021] Using rice straw as raw material, pulverize it to 100-200 mesh, put it into the intermittent stirring high-pressure reaction tank, add tetrahydrofuran / water mixed solution with a volume concentration of 70% according to the substrate mass concentration of 15%, and seal the reaction system. Heating to 175-185°C with a stirring speed of 500rpm, feeding nitrogen to maintain the reaction pressure at 4Mpa and hydrolyzing for 30min, after the reaction, collecting the reactants for solid-liquid separation, solid-phase composition analysis shows that the retention rate of cellulose is 94.4%, lignin The removal rate was 82.3%, and the direct distillation of the liquid phase reclaimed tetrahydrofuran and was recycled as the next reaction solution. The remaining water phase was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, and the recovery rate of total xylose (comprising xylose and xylooligosaccharid...

[0022] Embodiment 3: high temperature liquid water / furfural system

[0023] Use poplar sawdust as raw material, crush it to 100-200 mesh, put it into a high-pressure reaction tank, add furfural / water mixture with a volume concentration of 50% according to the substrate mass concentration of 20%, seal the reaction system, and heat to 185-195°C, the stirring speed is 500rpm, and sulfur dioxide is introduced to keep the reaction pressure at 5Mpa to hydrolyze for 50 minutes. After the reaction, the solid-liquid separation is carried out directly. The water layer is mainly sugar products, and the furfural layer is mainly sugar degradation products and lignin degradation. Product, the aqueous phase is analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography, and the recovery rate of total xylose (including xylose and xylo-oligosaccharides) is 75.7%, which is about 5 times that of the situation without adding furfural (the high-temperature liquid water treatment conditions are the same).

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for pretreating lignocellulose biomasses by using modified high-temperature liquid water. According to the method, a bio-based polar aprotic solvent is added in the hydrolytic process, and one part of water is replaced by the bio-based polar aprotic solvent, so that a heat mass transfer effect of the system is improved, and lignin and surface lignin in the biomass can be dissolved; and therefore, high-efficiency hydrolysis of hemicellulose and high-efficiency removal of lignin can be realized, the water amount is reduced, and the solvent can be recycled. Moreover, the bio-based polar aprotic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, furfural and the like are biomass hydrolysis products, replace one part of water and contribute to improving the mass transfer characteristics and lignin solubility of the system, the problems in the method for pretreating lignocellulose biomasses by high-temperature liquid water that the hemicellulose cannot be further hydrolyzed, the lignin removal rate is low and hydrolysis relief of subsequent cellulase and cellulose is obstructed are solved, and the problems that the water consumption is high and the amount of cellulase is high are also solved.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of converting biomass into new energy, in particular to an improved method for pretreating lignocellulosic biomass with high-temperature liquid water. Background technique: [0002] The use of lignocellulosic biomass for biorefinery to produce energy and high value-added chemicals plays a positive role in ensuring national energy and economic security, and is also of great practical significance in slowing down the increasingly serious environmental pollution. Hydrolyze the sugar-based polymers in lignocellulosic biomasshemicellulose and cellulose into fermentable sugars, which are used to produce energy and chemical products such as cellulosic ethanol, butanol, and biogasoline, and then realize biorefinery necessary basis. However, the compact three-dimensional structure of cellulose-hemicellulose-lignin constitutes a natural anti-transformation barrier for lignocellulosic biomass. The pretreatment techn...
