The microbial conversion of organic matter into biofuels holds potential as a renewable energy source. Among biofuel sources, microalgae are recognized as a highly efficient and adaptable feedstock for biodiesel production, owing to their rapid biomass accumulation, elevated lipid productivity, and capacity to proliferate in diverse aquatic systems, including freshwater, marine, and wastewater habitats. Unlike terrestrial crops, microalgae do not compete for land and can achieve significantly...

Area of Science:

  • Biomass Pretreatment
  • Green Chemistry
  • Lignin Valorization

Background:

  • Efficient lignocellulosic biomass fractionation is key for sustainable chemical production.
  • Lignin stabilization and carbohydrate recovery are critical challenges in biomass processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a reusable ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES) system for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment.
  • To optimize DES conditions for efficient hemicellulose and lignin removal while preserving cellulose.
  • To characterize the recovered lignin and assess its potential applications.

Main Methods:

  • A ternary deep eutectic solvent system (ChCl:MT:p-TsOH) was employed for biomass pretreatment.
  • Optimal conditions (1:1:0.5 ratio, 120°C, 60 min) were determined.
  • Cellulose-rich residue underwent enzymatic hydrolysis for glucose yield determination.
  • Recovered lignin was analyzed for molecular weight, purity, phenolic hydroxyl content, and polydispersity.

Main Results:

  • The DES system achieved high removal rates: 94.66% hemicellulose and 95.74% lignin.
  • Cellulose was well-preserved (84.50% retention), leading to an 87.12% glucose yield via enzymatic hydrolysis.
  • The DES system effectively inhibited lignin condensation through dual mechanisms.
  • Recovered lignin showed low molecular weight, high purity (93.02%), high phenolic hydroxyl content, and low polydispersity.

Conclusions:

  • The developed DES system offers an efficient and reusable method for lignocellulosic biomass fractionation.
  • The recovered lignin possesses valuable properties, including antioxidant and UV-shielding capabilities, indicating significant potential for new applications.
  • This approach advances sustainable biomass valorization by enabling the effective utilization of both carbohydrate and lignin fractions.
