Bioremediation

22.6K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Fates of Pyruvate

11.3K
Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis, where glucose is oxidized to pyruvate, simultaneously reducing NAD+ to NADH. Two molecules of ATP are also produced by substrate-level phosphorylation.
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...

Area of Science:

  • Biomass Valorization
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Sustainable Chemistry

Background:

  • Lignin, a major component of lignocellulosic biomass, is largely underutilized due to its recalcitrant nature.
  • Current biorefinery processes often treat lignin as a waste stream, representing a significant loss of energy and carbon resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and investigate the feasibility of a lignin biorefinery concept utilizing Kraft lignin.
  • To explore the fragmentation of Kraft lignin into valuable aromatic sub-units for industrial applications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing Kraft lignin, sourced from Kraft pulping black liquor, as the primary feedstock.
  • Employing fragmentation techniques such as fast pyrolysis and selective catalysis.
  • Implementing post-refining steps including additional cleavage reactions and separation/purification processes.

Main Results:

  • Kraft lignin can be fragmented into aromatic sub-units.
  • Potential exists for creating a commodity aromatics pool for the chemical industry.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed lignin biorefinery scenario offers a promising pathway for valorizing Kraft lignin.
  • Further research is essential to optimize fragmentation and purification methods for industrial-scale implementation.
