Hydrolysis (/haɪˈdrɒlɪsɪs/; from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water', and lysis 'to unbind') is a chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution, elimination, and solvation reactions in which water is the nucleophile.[1] In lignocellulosic biomass, the cellulose and hemicellulose breaks down into individual sugars, where hemicellulose is easier to hydrolyse than cellulose.[2] The result of hydrolysing hemicellulose and cellulose is sugars (glucose, xylose, mannose, and galactose) and organic acids (formic acid and acetic acid).[3]

Process and technologies

Acid

Acid hydrolysis is a hydrolysis process in which a protic acid is used to catalyze the hydrolysis reaction. A Dilute acid pretreatment only hydrolyses the hemi-cellulose, which makes the cellulose more susceptible for enzymatic conversions. The biowaste is immersed in a diluted form of strong acids, such as sulphuric acid, at elevated temperatures.[4]

Alkali

Alkaline hydrolysis refers to types of nucleophilic substitution reactions in which the attacking nucleophile is a hydroxide ion.

Salt

Hydrolysis can be further improved by the addition of salts.

Metals salts

Acid hydrolysis can be stimulated by the addition of metal chlorides. Metals such as aluminium, calcium, copper, iron, and zinc can be used to increase the sugar yield.[4]

Solvent

Solvents can be added to improve the hydrolysis process.

Organosolv

In an organosolv hydrolysis organic solvents are added to the process. For example, in acid-acetone pre-treatment biowaste is treated with an acid such as phophoric acid and then mixed with pre-cooled acetone to allow for a cold shock.[4]
