Abstract
Disclosed is a method of pre-treating and saccharifying an algae biomass, by dehydrating the algae biomass to have a water content of about 10% to about 70% by weight, cutting the algae biomass having a water content of about 10% to about 70% by weight to a predetermined size, and saccharifying the cut algae biomass using a hydrolysis catalyst and/or a hydrolase to yield a monosaccharide.
Claims14
A method of pre-treating and saccharifying an algae biomass, comprising:
- dehydrating the algae biomass to have a water content of about 10% to about 70% by weight;
- cutting the algae biomass having a water content of about 10% to about 70% by weight to a predetermined size;
- and
- saccharifying the cut algae biomass using a solid acid to yield a monosaccharide, wherein the solid acid is added to the dehydrated algae biomass having a water content of about 10% to about 70% by weight.
