Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for liquefaction and saccharification of polysaccharide containing biomasses, having a relatively high dry matter content. The present invention combines enzymatic hydrolysis with a type of mixing relying on the principle of gravity ensuring that the biomasses are subjected to mechanical forces, primarily shear and tear forces. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the further utilization of such processed biomasses, e.g. for subsequent fermentation into bio-ethanol, bio-gas, specialty carbohydrates for food and fees as well as carbon feedstock for processing into plastics and chemicals.

Abstract: Disclosed are processes for liquefaction and saccharification of polysacharide containing biomasses having high dry matter content (>20%) and preferably possessing large average particle size. The polysaccharide containing biomasses are subject to enzymatic hydrolysis in a mixer that utilizes “free fall” mixing. “Free fall” mixing provides mechanical degradation of the biomass during hydrolysis and, in the case of lignocellulosic biomass, promotes movement of cellulase enzymes along cellulose chains, which improves enzymatic hydrolysis at high dry matter.

Abstract: A process for producing paper materials having improved wet strength. This process involves (a) preparing a suspension of unbleached or semi-bleached chemical or semichemical pulp or pulp from recycled fibers; (b) treating the pulp with a phenol-oxidizing enzyme and a mediator; and (c) de-watering the treated pulp in a paper making machine to remove process water and produce the paper material. Preferably, the paper material is heated after the completion of step (c). By the process of the invention, the wet strength of paper materials can be improved without using wet strength resins which makes the product more easily re-used. Further disclosed is a process for producing corrugated paperboard or corrugated containers.

Abstract: A process for production of a lignocellulosic material modified by conjugation thereto of a phenolic substance comprising a substituent which, in the conjugated form of the phenolic substance, is, or may become, negatively or positively charged, respectively, comprises: reacting a lignocellulosic fibre material and the phenolic substance with an oxidizing agent in the presence of an enzyme capable of catalyzing the oxidation of phenolic groups by the oxidizing agent; and reacting together the products of the reactions; with the proviso that the phenolic substance is not a phenolic polysaccharide. A strengthened lignocellulose-based product (e.g. a paper product) may be prepared by a procedure wherein a product produced in accordance with the latter process is treated with a strengthening agent having an ionic charge of sign opposite to that which is conferred on the modified lignocellulosic material by the charge-conferring substituent.
