Latest Patent Applications
Hisashi Miyafuji's notable patent application is titled "METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RATE OF LOWERING MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF POLYSACCHARIDES CONTAINED IN CELLULOSIC BIOMASS, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUGAR, ALCOHOL, OR ORGANIC ACID." The objective of this invention is to provide a method for controlling the rate at which the molecular weight of polysaccharides is lowered by mixing cellulosic biomass with ionic liquid. This method involves creating an atmosphere with a partial pressure ratio that differs from that of air. By adjusting the oxygen partial pressure, the rate of molecular weight reduction can be increased, while higher nitrogen or carbon dioxide partial pressures, or a reduced-pressure atmosphere, can decrease this rate.
Conclusion
Hisashi Miyafuji's work represents a significant advancement in the field of biomass processing, with the potential to improve the production of sugars, alcohols, and organic acids from cellulosic materials. His innovative methods could pave the way for more efficient and sustainable biomass utilization.
