UD's one - step technology integrates the pretreatment step and the
hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose in one pot and operates at considerably low temperature (85 °C) and short reaction
time (one hour), which makes the method energy efficient.
In this study, an OSU team that included graduate students Lauren Fullmer, Sara Goberna - Ferron and Lev Zakharov overcame the need for ligands with a three - pronged strategy: pH - driven
hydrolysis by oxidative dissolution of zinc; metal nitrate concentrations 10
times higher than conventional syntheses; and azeotropic evaporation for driving simultaneous cluster assembly and crystallization at the surface of the solution.
The Micellar Whey Molecule is double the size of a normal whey molecule, which slows the rate of
hydrolysis over
time, while still providing high levels of key amino acids like Leucine.
That's the essential promise of CBP — by having a magic bug that will extract sugars from biomass, and at the same
time ferment those sugars into ethanol, you have a smaller, more consolidated design — compared to systems that have
hydrolysis, and then move the sugary broth to a fermenter system to convert into ethanol.
