    摘要: An improved continuous process for producing ethanol from cellulosic materials employs an intermittently agitated, perpetually fed, solids retaining reactor vessel. Cellulosic substrate, catalysts and fermentation agents are introduced into a reaction vessel to form a slurry. The slurry is agitated for a first selected time interval under conditions sufficient to initiate and maintain a fermentation reaction and then allowed to settle during a second selected time interval. At the end of the second selected time interval an ethanol-containing effluent is removed from the vessel. Thereafter, additional cellulosic material, catalysts and fermentation agents are added to the reactor vessel. This operating cycle is repeated virtually perpetually to effect the ethanol production. It can be implemented using a single bioreactor or a cascade of bioreactors.

    摘要: An improved and highly productive method of continuously producing ethanol from lignocellulosic substrates is provided. The method involves providing a suitable microbial system within a reaction vessel and adding fermentable substrate to the reactor to form a reaction mixture. The fermentation reaction is allowed to proceed while a quiescent state is maintained within the reactor. During the fermentation, soluble substrate is differentially retained relative to the feed slurry and reaction biocatalysts are retained and internally recycled within the system. Further, while fermenting substrate is retained within the system, it forms a stratified zone within the reactor such that the concentration of actively fermenting substrate is highest at upper portions of the reaction zone and is lowest, near zero, at a lower portion of the reaction zone. Insoluble, fully reacted substrate may be withdrawn from a region near the bottom of the reactor.

    摘要: A process for the treatment of biomass to render structural carbohydrates more accessible and/or digestible using concentrated ammonium hydroxide with or without anhydrous ammonia addition, is described. The process preferably uses steam to strip ammonia from the biomass for recycling. The process yields of monosaccharides from the structural carbohydrates are good, particularly as measured by the enzymatic hydrolysis of the structural carbohydrates. The monosaccharides are used as animal feeds and energy sources for ethanol production.
