Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when using conventional techniques, high solids concentrations (highly concentrated matrix conditions) can negatively impact due to insufficient mixing, resulting in low sugar conversion
Specifically, in order to obtain sufficient mixing under high-concentration substrate conditions, special stirring methods must be applied, and in this case, high power consumption is required
Furthermore, biomass slurries in such high matrix conditions have to be conveyed through various unit processes during the process, and at high solids concentrations these mixing and conveying issues become difficult because the slurries are thick and pasty
Therefore, the fluidity and fluidity of biomass slurry under high-concentration matrix conditions have a great influence on the equipment used (such as reactors, pumps), and it is the main factor for the increase in investment costs
[0005] Furthermore, in the case of herbaceous biomass, at solids (biomass) concentrations of 10% or higher, the moisture content relative to the biomass volume is extremely limited due to the significantly low feedstock density characteristics; i.e., because the solvent Biomass cannot be fully wetted, and chemical pretreatment reactions cannot proceed

Embodiment 1

[0054] Example 1: Preparation of Compositions for Physical Pretreatment of Herbaceous Biomass

[0055] To prepare physically pretreated herbal biomass compositions, the following experiments were performed.

[0056] Specifically, five types of herbaceous biomass including corn stover, wheat straw, grass, rice straw, and bagasse were physically pretreated by double-disc milling, grinder milling, hammer milling, or cutter milling. . Double-disk grinding was performed at 300 rpm for 10 minutes using a double-disc grinder (KHAM-30S, Hankook Mineral Powder, Co., Ltd.). In addition, grinder milling, hammer milling, and cutter milling were performed using a multipurpose grinder (Multi Mill, RD1-15, グローENGINEERING). Cutter milling and hammer milling used 2 mm sieves, and grinder milling was processed by adjusting the gap to 50 μm.

Embodiment 2

[0057] Example 2: Particle Size and Density Measurements and Compositional Analysis of Comminuted Biomass Compositions

[0058] The following experiments were performed to determine the particle size, density and composition of physically pretreated herbal biomass compositions.

[0059] Specifically, after tapping for 1 minute using 10 g of the physically pretreated composition prepared in Example 1 above, the density was measured by determining its volume (Table 1), and by using a particle size analyzer (Particle sizeAnalysis , LS I3 220, BECKMAN COULTER TM ) dry analysis measured the average particle size of the physical pretreatment composition (Table 2). In addition, the components of biomass processed by double disc milling were analyzed by the method of NREL Procedures LAP-002 (Table 3).

[0060] As a result, when processed by double disc milling, the average particle size was 50 μm or less, and the density was 0.5 g / ml or more, showing significant differences in ave...

Embodiment 3

[0070] Example 3: Evaluation of the Mixing Properties of Physically Pretreated Biomass Compositions and Solvents

[0071] In order to examine the mixing properties of solvents at 20% (w / w), which is a high concentration matrix condition for physically pretreated herbaceous biomass, 20 g of water was added to 5 g of ground treated biomass and stirred ( figure 1 ). As a result, in the case of physical pretreatments other than twin-disc milling, because due to the significantly low raw material density, with figure 1The moisture content is extremely limited compared to the biomass volume shown in , so at 20% (w / w) there is a phenomenon that the solvent does not wet the biomass sufficiently. However, when processed by twin disc milling, it was confirmed that mixing and flow was easy at a substrate concentration of 20% (w / w) due to smooth agitation.

Abstract

The present application relates to a physically pretreated biomass composition that enables chemical treatment in a biomass composition comprising a high concentration of biomass substrate, and a method for producing same. The physically pretreated biomass composition has fluidity / flowability even at a substrate concentration of biomass of 20 % (w / w) (biomass:solvent=1:4) or higher through specific physical pretreatment (attrition milling) of herbaceous biomass, so that pretreatment costs can be reduced, and thus is very useful in the biomass treatment process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to physically pretreated biomass compositions comprising a high concentration of biomass substrates for enabling chemical treatment and methods of making the same. Background technique [0002] Lignocellulosic biomass consists of non-degradable structures of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. In order to use lignocellulosic biomass as a sustainable source of supply for biofuels and biochemicals, it must be economically converted into useful intermediates such as sugars. Lignocellulosic biomass can be converted to fermentable sugars after physical, chemical, and biological pretreatments appropriate to its properties. [0003] The above-mentioned pretreatment processes are necessary steps to convert lignocellulosic biomass into sugars, but they have the highest operating costs of all the processes. One of the most important ways to reduce the cost of such pretreatments is to increase the biomass loading and minimize th...
