Title: Innovations of Sheng-Shieh Chen in Lignocellulosic Processing
Introduction
Sheng-Shieh Chen is a notable inventor based in Taoyuan County, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of lignocellulosic material processing, holding 2 patents that focus on enhancing the efficiency of converting biomass into valuable products.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an "Apparatus for continuously processing lignocellulosic material." This invention discloses a system designed for the continuous processing of lignocellulosic materials through a single-stage or two-stage pretreatment. The apparatus utilizes acid-catalyzed steam explosion processing combined with dilute acid hydrolysis. It operates by adjusting parameters to ensure that the feeding of lignocellulosic material, acid mixing pre-heating, hydrolysis reaction, steam explosion, and solid-liquid separation occur simultaneously and continuously. This innovative approach aims to acquire xylose hydrolyzate by effectively hydrolyzing hemicellulose, thereby enhancing the surface area and porosity of the lignocellulosic material.
Another significant patent is the "Method for increasing the concentration of xylose in lignocellulosic hydrolysate." This method involves extruding lignocellulosic material and mixing it with diluted acid, followed by hot-water extraction. The result is a high concentration of xylose in the hydrolysate, achieving up to 60 g/L, with a yield reaching 90%.
