  • From Cellulose Dissolution and Regeneration to Added Value Applications — Synergism Between Molecular Understanding and Material Development
    Chapter 1 From Cellulose Dissolution and Regeneration to Added Value Applications — Synergism Between Molecular Understanding and Material Development Poonam Singh, Hugo Duarte, Luís Alves, Filipe Antunes, Nicolas Le Moigne, Jan Dormanns, Benoît Duchemin, Mark P. Staiger and Bruno Medronho Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/61402 Abstract Modern society is now demanding “greener” materials due to depleting fossil fuels and increasing environmental awareness. In the near future, industries will need to become more resource-conscious by making greater use of available renewable and sustainable raw materials. In this context, agro-forestry and related industries can in‐ deed contribute to solve many resource challenges for society and suppliers in the near future. Thus, cellulose can be predicted to become an important resource for ma‐ terials due to its abundance and versatility as a biopolymer. Cellulose is found in many different forms and applications. However, the dissolution and regeneration of cellulose are key (and challenging) aspects in many potential applications. This chap‐ ter is divided into two parts: (i) achievements in the field of dissolution and regenera‐ tion of cellulose including solvents and underlying mechanisms of dissolution; and (ii) state-of-the-art production of value-added materials and their applications includ‐ ing manmade textile fibers, hydrogels, aerogels, and all-cellulose composites, where the latter is given special attention. Keywords: Cellulose, dissolution and regeneration, fiber, hydrogels, all-cellulose composites 1. Introduction Cellulose was isolated for the first time by the French chemist Anselme Payen in 1838 [1], who extracted it from green plants and reported its elemental composition four years later [2].

  • Evaluation of Feedstocks for Cellulosic Ethanol and Bioproducts Production in the Northwest
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Wesley C. Miller for the degree of Master of Science in Biological and Ecological Engineering presented on December 22, 2010 Title: Evaluation of Feedstocks for Cellulosic Ethanol and Bioproducts Production in the Northwest Abstract approved: _____________________________ Ganti S. Murthy Cellulosic ethanol production for transportation fuel is one source to help satisfy the increasing worldwide demand for energy and depletion of the fossil fuel supply. Evaluating potential production from plants and waste in Oregon, Washington and Idaho is the purpose of this study. Reed Canary grass, Annual Ryegrass, wheat straw, corn cobs, corn pericarp, gorse and waste newspaper are studied. Except for the newspaper (an analogue of municipal solid waste), these are common agricultural crops or invasive plants which are adapted to this area, and most of the United States. This paper estimates the potential for production of ethanol from these feedstocks through an investigation of available cropland combined with laboratory research into ethanol yield from these materials. Laboratory data for the various feedstocks ranged up to 237kg/Mg (72 gallons/ton) of ethanol produced. Total Northwest cropland is 7,502,272 hectares (18,538,517 acres) with 2,638,955 hectares (6,520,793 acres) of that under irrigation. (2007 Census of Agriculture - County Data, 2008). Common gorse, Ulex europaeus L., was examined for amounts of ether, hexane, ethanol and steam extracts and cellulosic ethanol yield at different times of the year. The highest seasonal amount of each component was approximately double that of the lowest. © Copyright by Wesley C.

    k 1 1 From the Onset to the First Large-Scale Industrial Processes 1.1 Origin of the Catalytic Era Chemists have always known, even before becoming scientists in the modern term (i.e., during the long alchemist era), how to increase reaction rates by rais- ing the temperature. Only much later on, they realized that the addition to the reaction of a third chemical substance, the catalyst, could give rise to the same effect. Formerly the word “affinity” was used in chemical language to indicate the driving force for a reaction, but this concept had no direct connection with the k understanding of reaction rates at a molecular level. k The first known processes involving reactions in solution accelerated by the addition of small amounts of acids are normally defined today as homoge- neous catalysis. Experimental evidence for such processes dates back to the sixteenth century, when the German physician and botanist Valerius Cordus published posthumously in 1549 his lecture notes with the title Annotations on Dioscorides. Valerius Cordus (1515–1544), born in Erfurt, Germany, organized the first official pharmacopoeia (oo..´) in Germany. He wrote a booklet that described names and properties of medicaments, completing and improving the famous pharmacopoeia written by the Roman natural philosopher Pliny the Elder and listing all known drugs and medicaments. In 1527, he enrolled at the University of Leipzig where he obtained his bachelor’s degree in 1531. During these years, he was strongly influenced by his father Euricius, author in 1534 of aCOPYRIGHTED systematic treatise on botany (Botanologicon MATERIAL). Valerius Cordus, after completing his training in the pharmacy of his uncle at Leipzig, moved in 1539 to Wittenberg University.
