【Technical Information】What is the amorphization of cellulose?
By breaking down the strong crystal structure, the reactivity of enzymes and chemicals is increased!
Cellulose is the main component of wood and grass, and it has a very strong crystalline structure. This makes wood useful as a construction material. However, when upcycling biomass, this durability becomes a hurdle for processing. This is because enzymes and chemicals have difficulty acting on the strong crystalline structure. Therefore, to convert cellulose-based biomass into plastics or fuels, pretreatment is necessary to increase the conversion efficiency. A representative example of pretreatment is breaking down the crystalline structure, that is, amorphization. By breaking down the strong crystalline structure, the reactivity of enzymes and chemicals is enhanced. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
