“…Among all the pre-treatments (dilute) acid hydrolysis is found to be most effective and inexpensive so far (Mamman, Lee et al 2008); so this paper concentrates on technologies comprising this pretreatment technology, with the exception of an excurs on organosolv which also ensures an acid pretreatment environment.…”

At Delft University of Technology theoretical and experimental research is carried out towards selective production of furfural from renewable biomass. Furfural is an interesting molecule that has been identified as a platform chemical for a multitude of chemical products and fuel (additives).Acidic biomass hydrolysis and subsequent dehydration of the obtained C 5 sugar xylose leads to furfural. The reaction selectivity is a point of concern for reactor design, as furfural can further react to loss products. The residue of this process mainly consists of the remaining main biomass constituents, cellulose and lignin. Mineral matter is to a large extent extracted to the acid in the primary hydrolysis. This implies that the residue has the potential to be a better feedstock for thermo-chemical conversion, as e.g. alkali and chlorine species-now extracted-potentially cause different types of problems (slagging, fouling, agglomeration etc.).An interesting option for example might be to convert this improved feedstock into synthesis gas via a gasification process, which then needs to be conditioned and upgraded for the production of green transportation fuels. In this line, a new biorefinery generation is created, which selectively uses the hemi-cellulose part of biomass.

“…One of the greatest inhibitors in the pretreatment process is 2-furaldehyde or furfural ( Figure 1) [14] which is generally derived from C 5 polysaccharides -pentosans (Figure 2), mainly xylose and arabinose, that are contained in the hemicellulose of lignocellulosic materials [15], [16], [17], [18]. However furfural itself has been identified as one of the top 30 high-value, bio-based chemicals.…”

-Furfural is a biomass derived-chemical that can be used to replace petrochemicals. In this study, dilute sulphuric acid hydrolysis was used for hemicelluloses secession from birch wood. The reaction was investigated at different biomass treatment times (10-90 min, increasing it by 10 min). We found that the greatest amount of furfural 1.4-2.6%, which is 9.7-17.7% from theoretical possible yield, was formed in the first 30 min of the beginning of birch wood pentoses monosaccharide dehydration, but the greatest yield of furfural 10.3%, which is 70.0% from the theoretical yield, can be obtained after 90 min. Given that furfural yield generally does not exceed 50% from the theoretical amount, the result can be considered as very good.

“…For example, xylose is a major source of pentosans for the furfural-based industry, used for a wide range of applications in oil refining, plastics, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries (Mamman et al, 2008). From the process application standpoint, these results indicate that A. donax crops specifically dedicated to lignocellulosic ethanol should be assisted with irrigation in the establishment year to reduce early growth lag.…”

A large expansion in renewable energy production is underway with an increasing focus on sustainable second-generation biofuels. Fast growing rhizomatous perennial grasses are leading candidates for lignocellulosic feedstock thanks to their positive energy balance, and low ecological/agro-management demands. Biomass accumulation is favored by the efficient use of available resources. The aim of this study was to identify which accumulation processes were most affected in the establishment year of a giant reed (Arundo donax L.) field crop grown under water and N deficiencies. The relative plasticity of growth of A. donax in response to various levels of resource availability was evaluated. A field scale experiment was carried out, and treatments were arranged as a randomized complete block, strip-plot design with irrigation treatments as the main plot factor and pre-planting N rate as the sub-plot factor. Biometric relationships between variables were assessed to understand how agro-management factors influence the above ground biomass of giant reed, as well as yield over time. Evidence is presented indicating that growth is strongly enhanced by water availability (+97% dry weight biomass). Changes in composition were not significant within or among fixed treatments, rather changes were observed over time. A high content of glucans and xylans were detected from early stage, and as the mobilization of minerals increased, lignin content significantly increased as well (from 12% to 36% w/w). These results suggest that an increase in the growth of A. donax in the establishment year is accomplished by a limited use of the water input.
