Deconstruction of biomass enabled by local demixing of cosolvents at cellulose and lignin surfaces.
A particularly promising approach to deconstructing and fractionating lignocellulosic biomass to produce green renewable fuels and high-value chemicals pretreats the biomass with organic solvents in aqueous solution. Here, neutron scattering and molecular-dynamics simulations reveal the temperature-dependent morphological changes in poplar wood biomass during tetrahydrofuran (THF):water pretreatment and provide a mechanism by which the solvent components drive efficient biomass breakdown. Whereas lignin dissociates over a wide temperature range (>25 °C) cellulose disruption occurs only above 150 °C. Neutron scattering with contrast variation provides direct evidence for the formation of THF-rich nanoclusters (R Topics: Bacterial Proteins; Biomass; Biotechnology; Cellulase; Furans; Gluconacetobacter xylinus; Hydrolysis; Lignin; Populus; Solvents; Surface-Active Agents; Wood | 2020 |
