Patent number: 10927388Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. The method of the present invention is capable of: minimizing the impurity content of an enzymatic saccharification raw material, by extracting biomass using hot water, before pretreatment, and removing extractable substances such as inorganic salts; suppressing, to the greatest extent, the production of overdecomposition products of sugar, by pretreating the biomass, from which the hot water extractable substances have been removed, in a condition for maximizing xylan yield; preparing fermentable sugar at a low cost, without washing a pretreated solid obtained from subsequent solid-liquid separation, but by only concentrating a sugar solution obtained after enzymatic saccharification, using a separation film; and preparing bioethanol therefrom in high yield.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Korea Research Institute of Chemical TechnologyInventors: Ju Hyun Yu, Chan Duck Jung, In Yong Eom, Seung Hwan Lee, Kyung Sik Hong, In-Chul Kim, Jong Geon Jegal, Bong Keun Song

Patent number: 10597688Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing, from wood-based biomass, a high concentration of fermentable sugar which can be effectively used in culturing various industrial fermented bacteria. According to the method of the present invention, biomass can be extracted by hot water prior to a pre-treatment so as to remove extractible substances such as mineral salts to thus minimize the content of impurities in raw materials for an enzymatic saccharification. The biomass from which substances extractible by hot water are removed is pre-treated in the condition where xylan yield rate is maximized, thus achieving maximum inhibition of the generation of over-decomposed products of sugar.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2013Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Korea Research Institute of Chemical TechnologyInventors: Ju Hyun Yu, Chan Duck Jung, Seung Hwan Lee, In-Chul Kim, Kyung Sik Hong, In Yong Eom, Jong Geon Jegal, Bong Keun Song
