Abstract

The present invention relates generally to the field of industrial biotechnology and particularly to an improved hydrolysis method for increasing sugar production from a high solids concentration of lignocellulosic biomass, especially one derived from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) by enzymatic hydrolysis of a lignocellulosic biomass to obtain a slurry, wherein the hydrolysis comprises aliquot additions of enzyme and lignocellulosic biomass; and removal of sugars from the slurry and washing of the residual lignocellulosic biomass.

IPC Classes  ?

• C12P 19/14 - Preparation of compounds containing saccharide radicals produced by the action of a carbohydrase, e.g. by alpha-amylase
• C12N 9/42 - Hydrolases (3.) acting on glycosyl compounds (3.2) acting on beta-1, 4-glucosidic bonds, e.g. cellulase
• C12P 7/16 - Butanols
• C12P 7/46 - Dicarboxylic acids having four or less carbon atoms, e.g. fumaric acid, maleic acid
• C12P 7/56 - Lactic acid
• C12P 19/02 - Monosaccharides
• C12P 7/10 - Ethanol, i.e. non-beverage produced as by-product or from waste or cellulosic material substrate substrate containing cellulosic material

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to the field of waste processing. The method comprises separating waste into at least two parts, comprising: (i) mainly food waste (fines) and (ii) mainly paper and other recyclable material (overs). The overs are pulped and washed to obtain a cellulose-rich biomass and the fines are optionally processed separately to recover a cellulose-rich biomass and the cellulose-rich biomass from both the fines and the overs may be combined.

IPC Classes  ?

• D21B 1/02 - Pretreatment of the raw materials by physical or chemical means
• B03B 9/06 - General arrangement of separating plant, e.g. flow sheets specially adapted for refuse
• C05F 9/00 - Fertilisers from household or town refuse
• C10L 5/48 - Solid fuels essentially based on materials of non-mineral origin on industrial residues or waste materials
• B29B 17/02 - Separating plastics from other materials
• D21C 5/02 - Working-up waste paper
• B29B 17/00 - Recovery of plastics or other constituents of waste material containing plastics
• B09B 3/00 - Destroying solid waste or transforming solid waste into something useful or harmless
• B09B 5/00 - Operations not covered by a single other subclass or by a single other group in this subclass
• B09B 3/80 - Destroying solid waste or transforming solid waste into something useful or harmless involving an extraction step
• C10L 5/36 - Shape
• C10L 5/40 - Solid fuels essentially based on materials of non-mineral origin
• C10L 5/46 - Solid fuels essentially based on materials of non-mineral origin on sewage, house, or town refuse
