This paper describes the elution behavior of metals during hydrothermal decomposition of rice hulls at 200
0
C using a percolation type reactor. Through that treatment, the rice hulls were converted to solubilized products at 45.9wt% yield. The solubilized products were mainly arabinose,
xylose, and xylooligosaccharides derived仕omhemicellulose. While, cellulose was not decomposed
in this treatment Results showed that the elution behavior of metals with hydrothermal treatment is cJassifiable into two patterns. First, alkali metals, phosphorus, boron, and aluminum elution did not depend upon the temperature, but rather on the treatment time. On the other hand, elution of heavy metals, alkaline earth metals, and arsenic depends upon temperature. That is to say, raising the purity of organic matter might be possible by lengthening the time of the 1st fraction and inducing full elution to obtain high-quality organic matter with few metals in the 4th and the 5th仕action.Key words: biomass, hydrothermal treatment, metals, hemicellulose, saccharification
1. Introduction
From viewpoints of global environmental problems and
diminishing fossil-fuel resources, renewable and carbon-
neutrallignocellulosic biomass has been drawing attention
as an environmentally friendly resource. For that reason,
we have been studying application of hydrothermal reac-
tions for utilization of lignocellulosic biomass [1-9].
Hydrothermal treatn'lent of lignocellulosic biomass has
been examined in many studies. Bobleter [10,111. a pio-
neer of this field, cJarified about the hydrothermolysis
mechanism using cellobiose as a model component of bio-
mass. Early studies revealed that hydrothermolysis was
not dependent on pH, at least in the range of pH 3-7.
τnen, Adchiri [12] and Sasaki [13, 14] et al. examined
hydrothermolysis of cellulose and glucose in supercritical
water (SCW). However, for such SCW reactions, the rapid
reaction rate made control of the reaction difficult.
For that reason, we started to study hydrothermolysis
of biomass in hot-compressed water (HCW), which has a
lower pressure (-10 MPa) and temperature (-3000
C)

than SCw. We have already reported about hydrothermal decom-
position behavior ot organic matter (cellulose [1,2,71. hemicellulose [4,5,9] and lignin [5,6]) in biomass.
Results of those studies demonstrated that components
of hemicellulose and cellulose are recoverable as fractions
of mainly various oligosaccharides by treating the biomass
with a stepwise increase of HCW temperature using a per-
colator type reactor [3,8]. Specifically, the separation
method comprises the following steps: removal of easily
soluble components such as tannin and free saccharides
through treatment at 130oC; separation via solubilization of
hemicellulose as a企action,mainly of oligosaccharides, by
treatment at 140-220oC; and separation via solubilization
of cellulose as a fraction, mainly of oligosaccharides, at a
temperature higher than 230oC. Obtained saccharides can
be used as functiona1 foods and feedstocks for fermentation.
We have already reported saccharification behavior of
rice hulls, which are a main agricultural residue in ]apan
[8]. Rice hulls have a high ash content varying from very
13.2-21.0% [15]. However, elution behavior of metals
from biomass has not been elucidated. Elution of metals
might engender various problems such as harm for
humans [16, 171. fermentation inhibition [18, 191. and
sca1e for equipment. Therefore, it is important to investi-

in the each effluent was removed by heated at 1050
C and
the solubilized products were obtained.τbe residue in the
reactor was dried at 1050
C. The products yield was ca1cu-
lated on the feed dry base as follows;
Solubilized products yield (w出)= (amount of solubi-
lized products/amount of feed dry sample) X 100
Residual yield (wt幼=(amount of residue/amount of
feed dry sample) X 100
A half of each effluent was treated with lN HCl solution
at 1000
C for 1 h; then, it was filtrated. Each fil仕atesample
was then analyzed for some metals of four groups (alkali
metals-K and Na; alkaline earths-Mg and Ca; heavy met-
als-Cd, Pb, Zn and Cu; semi-metals-As and B) using an
inductively coupled plasma atomic-emission spectrometer
(SPS 1200AR; Seiko Instruments Inc., ]apan).
gate elution behavior of metals from biomass.
In this study, elution behavior of metals together with
organic matter from rice hulls was investigated at 2000
C
using a percolator type reactor. At 200oC, hemicellulose
was solubilized, whereas cellulose was not solubilized [5]
That is to say, it is possible to企actionatehemicellulose
and cellulose under this temperature condition. For that
reason, treatment at this temperature was adopted in this
study.
Experimental
2.1 Materials
Rice hulls from Saga prefecture Gapan) were used in
this experiment.τbe rice hulls were pulverized using a
mill (rotor speed mill P-4; Fritsch GmbH); they were
sieved before the experiment to obtain 24-60 mesh.

Results and Discussion
3.1 Solubilization and saccharification behavior
Fig. 2 shows solubilization behavior of rice hulls. For 4
min after the start of flow at room temperature, generation
of solubilized products was hardly observed. During the
next 8 min, when the temperature of HCW reached about
200oC, the accumulated yield of solubilized products was
7.1w仇Afterthe temperature reached 200oC, the genera-
tion of solubilized products became markedly rapid.
During the subsequent 4 min, the cumulated yield was
33.3wt%. When processed for 20 min (including cooling
step: 4 min), the accumulated yield reached 45.9wt%.
Overall mass balances were 45.9wt% for solubilized prod-

2.2 Hydrothermal treatment
One gram of rice hull powder (24-60 mesh) was
charged in a percolator type reactor (10.2 mm i.d. X 46.7
mm length, 3.8 mL). Both ends of the reactor were capped
with sintered filters (average pore size: 5μm).百len,it
was connected with HCW flow type equipment. A sche-
matic diagram of the equipment is depicted in Fig. 1. The
equipment consists of a deionized-water tank, high-pres-
sure pump, heater, reactoにcooler,backpressure regulator,
and reservoir. Details of the operation method are identi-
cal to that explained in a previous paper [8].
τbe hydrothermal treatment experiment was carried
out for 32 min (including a room temperature step of 4
min, a temperature increase step of 6 min, and a cooling
step of 4 min) at 2000
C (3.0 MPa, 10 mL/min). Effluents
were collected at 4-min intervals. A pH of each effl血uent

3.2 Elution behavior of metals
Elution behavior of metals during hydrothermal treat-
ment is c1assifiable into two patterns. Figure 6 shows the
time course of metal (p, A!, K, Na and B) concentration in
the process of hydrothermal treatment. These metals did
not depend upon the temperature, but rather on the treat-
ment time.

ucts and 53.8wt% for residues.
Fig. 3 shows the change in the solubilized products
yield and the pH of effluent in each fraction. The yield
tended to increase as the treatment temperature became
higher. At the 4th仕action,the highest yield (26.2w出)was
indicated. It subsequently decreased.
The pH was high during the first 8 min. Then it
decreased as the concentration of solubilized products Figure 7 shows the time course of metal (Cd, Cu, Pb,
Zn, As, Ca and Mg) concentration in the process of hydro-
therma1 treatment of rice hulls. First, for heavy metals,
alkaline earth metals and arsenic depend upon the tem-
perature.ln the 1st fraction, metals adsorbed on the sur-
face and contaminated from soil might be eluted.
However, the amount of elution was very small. Then, in
4th fraction, when the temperature reached 2000
C, great
amounts of metals were eluted again. This behavior
resembles the decomposition behavior of rice hulls (Fig.

increased to pH 4 in the 3rd-5th fraction. The cause of the
decreased pH was considered to be released acetyl groups
from hemicellulose and organic acids produced by sec-
ondary decomposition of monosaccharides [8, 20]. After
that, pH increased gradually as the concentration of solu-
bilized products decreased in each fraction.
Figure 4 shows saccharification behavior of rice hulls.
In the 1st and 2nd fraction, saccharides were not obtained.
Then, after the 3rd fraction, when the temperature of
HCW reached over 1400
C, hydrolyzed products of hemi-
cellulose (arabinoxylan) were started to obtain, such as
xyloseαyl), arabinose (Ara), xylobioseα2), and xylotri-
oseα3). After the temperature reached 2000
C (in 4th and
5th fraction), these saccharides markedly produced.
However, after 6th fraction, these saccharides were not
obtained.
Furthermore, polymers of greater degree of polymeriza-
tion than xylotriose were also obtained, as shown in Fig. 5.
While, as for glucose and cellooligosaccharides, they were
hardly obtained in this treatment condition, meaning that
cellulose is not decomposed. Obtained solubilized saccha-
rides can use for food additives, functional foods and feed-
stocks for fermentation.

2) and pH of effluent (Fig. 3). As mentioned above, the
decomposition product at 2000
C could be used for food
additives and functional foods. Hence, the removal of the
poisonous metals should be taken into consideration,
when rice hulls polluted by poisonous metals are used as
raw materials.
τne former metals (P, A!, K, Na and B) may simply exist
in the cell: consequently, these metals as eluted without
decomposition of cell wall. On the other hand, the latter
metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Ca and Mg) may exist in the
cell wall as materials combined with organics chemically
or physically. As a result, it was necessary to decompose
the hemicellulose fraction to elute these metals.
That is to say, raising the purity of organic matter might
be possible by lengthening the time of the 1st仕actionand
inducing full elution to obtain high-quality organic matter
with few metals in the 4th and the 5th企actions.
4. Conclusions
The following results were noted in relation to the elu-
tion behavior of metals in the hydrothermal treatment pro-
cess at 200oC.
1) Concentration of solubilized products tended to
increase as the treatment temperature became higher.
The maximum yield of the solubilized products was the
4th仕action,when the HCW temperature reached 200oC.
Hemicellulose was hydrolyzed and solubilized mainly as
oligosaccharides.

2) Although the pH of the initial effluents maintained
about pH 6, it decreased rapidly to pH 4 in the latter frac-
tions.τne cause of the pH decrease was considered to be
released acetyl groups from hemicellulose and produced
organic acids by secondary decomposition of monosac-
charides derived from hemicellulose.
3) Elution of heavy metals, alkaline earth metals, and arse-
nic depended upon the temperature. In contrast, alkali
metals, phosphorus, boron, and aluminum did not depend
upon the temperature, but rather on the treatment time.
