Mechanical pretreatments of lignocellulosic biomass: towards facile and environmentally sound technologies for biofuels production

Abstract: The transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels represents an interesting and sustainable alternative to fossil fuel for the near future. However, one still faces some major challenges for the technology to be fully realized including feedstock costs, novel pretreatment processes, production, transportation, and environmental impact of the full chain. The development of new technologies focused to increase the efficiency of cellulose conversion to biofuels determines successful implementation. Mech… Show more

“…Many studies are done using fine particle size of lignocellulosic waste materials for biogas production supported with the theory that size reduction will increase the available specific area for activity of microorganism and ruin the crystallinity of lignocellulosic material and make biomass more bio-degradable for biogas production [42].…”

“…The residue was filtered using sieve with mesh number 35 (500 µm); this part was labelled as "Fine RS" (250-500 µm). The common industrial name of this lignocellulosic biomass particles size is known as intermediate micronized particles [42]. Using a sieve with mesh number 10 (2mm), particles smaller than 2mm and larger than 500 µm was separated and labelled as "Medium RS"(500 µm-2mm); in industrial scale this size of particles are result of coarse milling process.…”

“…Lignolytic microorganisms include fungi, actinomycetes, yeast, bacteria, and algae, all of which can produce enzymes responsible for lignocellulose degradation (Bajpai and Bajpai 1994; Annachatre and Gheewala 1996). Enzymatic treatment can be applied as a single step or with other physical and chemical methods, as extensively reviewed by Chen et al (2010), Saritha et al (2012), andBarakat et al (2014).…”

Enzymatic treatment can be applied as a single step or with other physical and chemical methods, as extensively reviewed by Chen et al (2010), Saritha et al (2012), andBarakat et al (2014).Fungal enzymes, collectively termed as ligninases or lignin-modifying enzymes (LMEs), can degrade lignin into simple sugars and starch (Bocchini et al 2005;Dashtban et al 2010;Chopra and Singh 2012). Ligninases can be classified as phenol oxidases (laccase) or heme peroxidases (Martínez et al 2005).…”

“…Dry fractionation processes, could be seen as an interesting alternative to expensive hydo-chemical processes which induce a degradation of the native functionalities of the constituents and are known to have a detrimental environmental impact. These processes usually combine different unit operations of pre-treatment, grinding and physical separation to gradually de-structure and fractionate the plant materials at tissue (100 µm) or subcellular scale (10 µm) [2]. Among all the separation processes, the electrostatic separation emerged as an eco-friendly technology since it allows the preparation of fractions enriched in the constituents of interest from biomass particles ranging between 10 and 500 µm.…”
