Abstract: A method for converting a lignin-derived material into at least one esterified lignin derivative, said method comprising the steps of: providing said lignin-derived material selected from the group consisting of: lignin monomers; lignin depolymerization products; and combinations thereof; providing an acidic composition having a pH of less than 1, said acidic composition comprising: an acid selected from the group consisting of: sulfuric acid; an alkylsulfonic acid; and an arylsulfonic acid; and an alcohol selected from the group consisting of C1-C8 linear alcohol and C3-C8 branched alcohol and mixtures thereof; combining said lignin-derived material with said acidic composition into a reaction mixture; heating up said mixture to a temperature ranging from 25° C. to 120° C.; and allowing sufficient time of reaction to convert at least a portion of said lignin-derived material into said at least one esterified lignin derivative.

Abstract: A process to manufacture nanocrystalline cellulose from cellulose having a low hemicellulose content, said process comprising the steps of:
exposing said cellulose to a microemulsion composition for a first pre-determined period of time, thereby creating a soaked cellulose;
optionally, exposing the soaked cellulose to a sonication step for a second predetermined period of time; and
exposing the resulting mixture to a H2O2 with FeSO4 or CuSO4 under acidic conditions for a third pre-determined period causing hydrolysis of the cellulose;
wherein the nanocrystalline cellulose will have a crystallinity index of more than 50% and an aspect ratio ranging from 10:1 length to width to 50:1 length to width.-

Abstract: A process to delignify biomass, said process comprising the steps of:
providing a vessel;
providing biomass comprising lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose fibers into said vessel;
providing a aqueous acidic composition comprising a sulfuric acid component;
providing a peroxide component;
exposing said biomass to said sulfuric acid component and peroxide component, creating a reaction mass;
allowing said sulfuric acid component and peroxide component to come into contact with said biomass for a period of time sufficient to a delignification reaction to occur and remove over 90 wt % of said lignin and hemicellulose from said biomass; and
controlling the temperature of the delignification reaction to maintain it below 55° C.-

Abstract: A method of obtaining ethanol from a lignocellulosic biomass comprises delignification of a lignocellulosic biomass using a modified Caro's acid. Next a solid portion of the delignification reaction mixture is recovered wherein the solid portion comprises a substantially hemicellulose-free cellulosic component which includes at most, up to 15% w/w hemicellulose. Next, the recovered solid portion of the resulting reaction mixture is exposed to an enzyme mix comprising cellulase enzymes to create a saccharification system that breaks down the cellulose into a saccharified composition such as oligosaccharides. The saccharified composition is then fed to an organism, such as yeast, with the ability to ferment sugars into ethanol.

Abstract: A process to hydrolyze cellulose into cellobiose comprising the following steps:
providing a reaction vessel;
providing a Cellulomonas uda (ATCC 491) inoculum;
exposing said Cellulomonas uda (ATCC 491) bacterium to a source of cellulose having a kappa number of less than 10 in an aqueous medium of pH of about 8 at a temperature ranging from 30° C. to 35° C. for a period of time ranging from 14 to 42 days;
exposing the cellobiose to a bacterium or fungi or yeast, or combination which converts cellobiose to glucose or ethanol.-
