NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides essential chemical components that drive innovation in sustainable energy production. Magnesium Bisulfite (CAS 13774-25-9) plays a significant role in the field of biomass pretreatment, a critical stage in the conversion of lignocellulosic materials into biofuels.

The process of converting biomass into biofuels typically involves breaking down its complex structure to make cellulose more accessible for enzymatic hydrolysis. This is where Magnesium Bisulfite Pretreatment (MBSP) comes into play. By treating biomass with a Magnesium Bisulfite solution, often at elevated temperatures and specific pH levels, the lignin and hemicellulose components can be effectively solubilized and removed. This action significantly enhances the accessibility of cellulose to enzymes, leading to improved yields of fermentable sugars.

The effectiveness of MBSP is highly dependent on process parameters, with pH being a particularly crucial factor. Research indicates that a relatively neutral pH range is optimal for Magnesium Bisulfite pretreatment, facilitating the removal of both hemicellulose and lignin. At this optimal pH, a substantial portion of these recalcitrant components can be removed, allowing for higher enzymatic hydrolysis yields. For example, studies on corn stover and wheat straw have demonstrated that optimized MBSP conditions can lead to cellulose conversion rates exceeding 90%.

Furthermore, the spent liquor from MBSP contains valuable components, such as xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), which have applications as prebiotics in the food industry. Efficiently recovering these co-products adds economic value to the biorefinery process. The ability of Magnesium Bisulfite to facilitate both enhanced cellulose accessibility and the recovery of valuable co-products underscores its importance in advancing biorefinery technologies.
