Processing biomass |
摘要 |
Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems can use feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials, to proceed ethanol and/or butanol, e.g., by fermentation. |

1. A mixture comprising:
(a) a low molecular weight sugar, (b) a treated cellulosic or lignocellulosic material having a porosity of at least 35% and comprising a plurality of saccharide units arranged in a molecular chain, wherein from about 1 out of every 2 to about 1 out of every 250 saccharide units includes a carboxylic acid functional group, (c) water, and (d) a fermenting microorganism, wherein the treated cellulosic or lignocellulosic material comprises a cellulosic or lignocellulosic material that has been irradiated with at least 5 Mrad of electron beam radiation, and the carboxylic acid functional groups act as bonding sites for the microorganism. |
