摘要: An integrated approach for utilizing waste products of 2G bio-refineries to fractionate the lignin of high purity. The present invention also provides a method of recycling of two waste products (2-G ethanol residue as the substrate (LRBR) and fusel oil/synthetic fusel oil (SFO) as one of the solvent) of the biorefineries in a beneficial manner to fractionate the lignin of high purity. The present method of separating high purity lignin comprises fractioning extractive-free lignin rich residue with a solvent, wherein the solvent is a mixture of SFO/Fusel oil and Formic acid. An optimized ratio of waste fusel oil and formic acid gave more than >85% yields of high purity lignin.

摘要: The present invention relates to a novel integrated process to extract and purify levulinic acid (LA) produced from the technical lignin waste (2-G residue) generated after second generation (2-G) ethanol production from biomass. In this process, liquid-liquid extraction was carried out using fusel oil as an organic extractant to yield a LA rich organic phase and an acidic aqueous phase (raffinate). In addition, selected amines improved the LA yields by acting synergistically. Further fractional distillation was carried out to purify LA. The acidic raffinate is recycled back to the reaction in multiple times, which reduce the use of additional catalyst and make the overall process cost effective. The process is very simple and suitable to remove any colour and humins (soluble tar), which would otherwise form a problem in subsequent process step, particularly in distillation. At optimized process conditions 95% LA is recovered with 98% purity.

摘要: The present invention provides an improved process for high titer lactic acid production using simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation process using acid treated lignocellulosic biomass. The process comprises of pretreating lignocellulosic biomass comprising C5 and C6 sugars with dilute acid and superheated steam at a temperature ranging from 150-210° C.; neutralizing the pretreated lignocellulosic biomass of step (i) with NaOH pellets; and adding cellulase enzyme in the range of 1.5 to 10 FPU/g, bacteria, nutrients and buffering agent to the neutralized slurry obtained in step (ii) for hydrolysis and co-fermentation of C5 and C6 sugars at a temperature ranging from 40-45° C. for a period of 120-144 hours to obtain lactic acid. The process of the present invention requires simple nutrients and results in high titer lactic acid production within shortest duration of time.

摘要: An advantageous process for pre-treating lignocellulosic biomass to hydrolysable polysaccharide enriched biomass with reduced amount of inhibitors of catalysis comprising steps of: providing a feedstock comprising cellulosic biomass; chopping of cellulosic biomass to have a cellulosic biomass feed material of uniform size; feeding of uniform sized feed material to a horizontal counter current extraction unit; removing excess of water from the feed material obtained from the extraction unit; soaking the extruded feed material obtained from the extraction unit; optionally removing excess of water from the feed material obtained after acid soaking; steam pre-treating the feed material obtained after removing excess of water from the acid soaked feed material; neutralizing the slurry obtained from the steam pre-treating; and optionally saccharifying the neutralized slurry.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a process for producing levulinic acid from the technical lignin. The technical lignin is rich in lignin and ash and do not have any other use and usually incinerated as a waste management strategy. During the incineration process, the cellulose also gets burnt and wasted. In the present disclosure, there is provided an economical and environmentally friendly process to produce levulinic acid from the technical lignin by using a synergistic combination of catalysts for high yields and high titer with acid recycling in a cost-effective manner

摘要: The present invention relates to a method based on proton NMR technique to differentiate genuine and spurious Hand-rub formulations. This method identifies and estimates all four components present in WHO-recommended Hand-rub formulations. Further, this method also identifies the presence of non-recommended/additional components present in WHO-recommended Hand-rub formulations. The method described in this invention utilizes experimental parameters and derived equations to quantify all four components in just fifteen minutes without using any organic solvents.
