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.
