    摘要: The present invention relates to method for a microbial fermentation process involving fermentation of a fermentation media derived from biomass to a target fermentation product. The method comprising: providing a reference curve defined by a predetermined weight ratio of galactose to xylose as a function of acetic acid concentration present in the fermentation media; providing a first biomass-based stream and a second biomass-based stream different to the first biomass-based stream, comprising galactose and xylose; mixing the first and second biomass-based streams; providing a fermentation media by treating the mixed first and second biomass-based streams, or treating the first and second biomass-based streams separately prior to the mixing, wherein the mixing of the first and second biomass-based streams results in a weight ratio of galactose to xylose in the fermentation media closer to the reference curve compared to at least one of the first and second biomass-based streams; and fermenting the fermentation media by means of fermentation microorganisms being a yeast able to ferment xylose, such that the xylose and galactose are simultaneously fermented into the same target fermentation product.

    摘要: A composition as described herein for treating an exposed area for dust control and soil erosion stabilization is provided, the composition comprising: (i) about 30 to about 80% dissolved biopolymer solution by volume; (ii) about 10 to about 20% dissolved carbohydrate solution by volume; (iii) about 0.02 to about 0.25% nonionic surfactant solution by volume; and (iv) water that makes up a remaining volume to 100% wherein the composition is effectively free from magnesium chloride and calcium chloride. In one aspect, the composition as described herein may be free, substantially free, or effectively free from oil-based and hydrophobic content. A method for using the composition to treat an exposed surface for dust control and soil erosion stabilization is also provided.

    摘要: Fermented grain (11), such as brewer's grain or wet cake, which contains both hemicellulose and cellulose, is processed to provide sugars. The grain is first treated (14) with hot water to hydrolyse hemicellulose; and an aqueous phase (26) containing the products of the hydrolysis of hemicellulose is separated from particulate material. The particulate material is then fed (18) into a flow of steam at above 450°C along a reactor duct (20, 32) to form a flowing mixture of particles and vapours, the mass flow of steam being at least 3 times the mass flow of particulate matter, such that the particulate material is heated rapidly; and after no more than 3 seconds at least 75% (by mass) of the particles are separated (21) from the flowing mixture. The vapours of the flowing mixture are then condensed (22). The result is a sugar solution (25). Steady feeding of the particulate material may be achieved with an eductor (32) that includes a nozzle (36) for entry of the steam, and a sloping deflector plate (40) above it.

    摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a method for control of a microbial fermentation process involving fermentation of sugars from lignocellulosic biomass to fermentation products. The method comprising the steps of: providing a fermentation media comprising at least xylose and glucose; fermenting the fermentation media by means of fermentation microorganisms of yeast; and intentionally increasing the concentration of ethanol present during the fermentation to an elevated ethanol concentration by the addition of ethanol or an ethanol-producing substance.

    摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a method for treatment of a lignocellulosic biomass. The method comprises the steps of pretreating the lignocellulosic biomass material in a pretreatment arrangement to form a pretreated biomass slurry; optionally hydrolysing the pretreated biomass slurry in a hydrolysis unit; retrieving gaseous SO2 from the pretreatment arrangement to provide an SO2 gas stream; treating the SO2 gas stream with an alkaline solution to provide a sulfite/bisulfite solution; supplying at least a part of the sulfite/bisulfite solution to at least one of: a) the lignocellulosic biomass material prior to pretreating the lignocellulosic biomass material in the pretreatment arrangement; b) the lignocellulosic biomass material in the pretreatment arrangement; c) the pretreated biomass slurry discharged from the reactor vessel; d) the hydrolysate or fermentable sugars of the hydrolysate.
