Compositional Analysis of Lignocellulosic Feedstocks. 1. Review and Description of Methods

摘要: As interest in lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks for conversion into transportation fuels grows, the summative compositional analysis of biomass, or plant-derived material, becomes ever more important. The sulfuric acid hydrolysis has been used to measure lignin and structural carbohydrate content than 100 years. Researchers have applied these methods contents woody materials, estimate nutritional value animal feed, analyze dietary fiber human food, compare potential biofuels feedstocks, efficiency biomass-to-biofuels processes. purpose this paper is review history lineage based on a hydrolysis. These become de facto procedure analysis. traces changes through time currently at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). current suite laboratory analytical procedures (LAPs) offered by NREL described, including an overview methodologies some common pitfalls. Suggestions are made continuing improvement analyses.
