    摘要: The presently disclosed subject matter related to methods of converting lignocellulosic materials to alcohol that include increasing the fiber consistency of enzymatic hydrolysis mixtures. More particularly, the methods involve contacting lignocellulosic biomass with an enzyme composition for a period of time, and then thickening the mixture and further hydrolyzing the thickened mixture. The thickening can be performed by filtration, optionally reusing the filtrate and/or any enzymes contained therein during the lignocellulose conversion process to increase the efficiency of the process. Hydrolysis of the thickened mixture provides a fermentable sugar mixture having a higher concentration of sugar than fermentable sugar mixtures provided from less concentrated biomass/enzyme mixtures. Compositions comprising alcohol prepared according to the presently disclosed methods are also provided.

    摘要: A method of producing an alcohol from lignocellulosic biomass is provided wherein the lignocellulosic biomass is pretreated with an alkaline mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate, i.e., green liquor, prior to enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. Pretreatment with the green liquor increases the efficiency of the enzymatic hydrolysis. Both the alcohol produced from the fermentation and the lignin that dissolves into the green liquor during pretreatment can also be used as fuels.

    摘要: Cellulosic fibers are removed from seed hulls such as cottonseed hulls by a process including (a) in the absence of mechanical action sufficient to cause degradation of fiber properties, contacting the seed hulls which comprise both cellulosic fibers (linters and hull fibers) and non-fibrous hull components with an alkaline solution and an oxygen-containing gas until the cellulosic fibers are substantially free of the non-fibrous hull components, and (b) recovering the cellulosic fibers from the non-fibrous hull components so as to produce readily washable cellulosic fibers having substantially unimpaired mechanical properties. The cellulosic fibers may then be washed and separated according to known fiber fractionation procedures. The cellulosic fibers produced according to this improved process have substantially unimpaired mechanical properties and contain substantially no polyphenolic materials or extraneous color components. The process provides a more selective and complete removal of polyphenolic materials and extraneous color material requiring less alkali and resulting in higher carbohydrate yields than prior art processes. The process eliminates or significantly alleviates the noise and respiratory dangers of certain known mechanical delinting processes.Other seed hull commodities may also be obtained. These other seed hull commodities include hull residue containing xylan which may be further treated to produce xylose and xylitol. Xylose is produced by hydrolyzing the xylan such as by dilute sulfuric acid treatment. Xylitol may be produced by catalytically hydrogenating xylose hydrolyzate solution and then crystallizing xylitol directly from the hydrogenated hydrolyzate solution.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of removing ink from xerographically printed paper. The method comprises pulping said printed paper in an aqueous slurry at a non-acidic pH to a consistency of about 8% or less. Next, added to the pulp slurry is a sufficient amount of long chain alcohol, the long chain alcohol having a melting point above room temperature, for a time sufficient with heating at a temperature sufficient, whereby an agglomeration of long chain alcohol and ink particles is formed. Next, the heating is stopped whereby the agglomeration solidifies into particles that settle to the bottom of the pulp slurry. Then, the agglomeration of solidified particles is removed from the pulp slurry thereby leaving a remaining slurry of deinked paper fiber and water. Optionally, the remaining slurry is subjected to flotation to remove substantially any remaining minute ink left particles behind after the agglomeration.
