Current research indicates the ethanol fuel production from lignocellulosic materials, such as residual wood chips from the
cellulose industry, as new emerging technology. This work aimed at evaluating the ethanol production from hemicellulose of
eucalyptus chips by diluted acid pretreatment and the subsequent fermentation of the generated hydrolysate by a flocculating
strain of Pichia stipitis. The remaining solid fraction generated after pretreatment was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis, which was carried out simultaneously
with glucose fermentation [saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process] using a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The acid pretreatment was evaluated using a central composite design for sulfuric acid concentration (1.0–4.0 v/v) and solid to liquid ratio (1:2–1:4, grams to milliliter) as independent variables. A maximum xylose concentration of 50 g/L
was obtained in the hemicellulosic hydrolysate. The fermentation of hemicellulosic hydrolysate and the SSF process were performed
in bioreactors and the final ethanol concentrations of 15.3 g/L and 28.7 g/L were obtained, respectively. 相似文献

The wet oxidation pretreatment (water, oxygen, elevated temperature, and pressure) of softwood (Picea abies) was investigated for enhancing enzymatic hydrolysis. The pretreatment was preliminarily optimized. Six different combinations
of reaction time, temperature, and pH were applied, and the compositions of solid and liquid fractions were analyzed. The
solid fraction after wet oxidation contained 58–64% cellulose, 2–16% hemicellulose, and 24–30% lignin. The pretreatment series
gave information about the roles of lignin and hemicellulose in the enzymatic hydrolysis. The temperature of the pretreatment,
the residual hemicellulose content of the substrate, and the type of the commercial cellulase preparation used were the most
important factors affecting the enzymatic hydrolysis. The highest sugar yield in a 72-h hydrolysis, 79% of theoretical, was
obtained using a pretreatment of 200°C for 10 min at neutral pH. 相似文献

The objective of this work was to determine the optimum conditions of sugarcane bagasse pretreatment with lime to increase
the enzymatic hydrolysis of the polysaccharide component and to study the delignification kinetics. The first stage was an
evaluation of the influence of temperature, reaction time, and lime concentration in the pretreatment performance measured
as glucose release after hydrolysis using a 23 central composite design and response surface methodology. The maximum glucose yield was 228.45 mg/g raw biomass, corresponding
to 409.9 mg/g raw biomass of total reducing sugars, with the pretreatment performed at 90°C, for 90 h, and with a lime loading
of 0.4 g/g dry biomass. The enzymes loading was 5.0 FPU/dry pretreated biomass of cellulase and 1.0 CBU/dry pretreated biomass
of β-glucosidase. Kinetic data of the pretreatment were evaluated at different temperatures (60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C),
and a kinetic model for bagasse delignification with lime as a function of temperature was determined. Bagasse composition
(cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) was measured, and the study has shown that 50% of the original material was solubilized,
lignin and hemicellulose were selectively removed, but cellulose was not affected by lime pretreatment in mild temperatures
(60–90°C). The delignification was highly dependent on temperature and duration of pretreatment. 相似文献

A process was developed to fractionate and isolate the hemicellulose B component of corn fiber generated by corn wet milling.
The process consisted of pretreatment by soaking in aqueous ammonia followed by enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis, during which
the hemicellulose B was solubilized by cleavage into xylo-oligosaccharides and subsequently recovered by precipitation with
ethanol. The pretreatment step resulted in high retention of major sugars and improvement of subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis.
The recovered hemicellulose B was hydrolyzed by a cocktail of enzymes that consisted of β-glucosidase, pectinase, xylanase,
and ferulic acid esterase (FAE). Xylanase alone was ineffective, demonstrating yields of less than 2% of xylose and arabinose.
The greatest xylose and arabinose yields, 44% and 53%, respectively, were obtained by the combination of pectinase and FAE.
A mass balance accounted for 87% of the initially present glucan, 91% of the xylan, and 90% of the arabinan. The developed
process offered a means for production of corn fiber gum as a value-added co-product and C5 sugars, which could be converted
to other valuable co-products through fermentation in a corn wet-milling biorefinery. 相似文献

The overall objective in this European Union-project is to develop cost and energy effective production systems for coproduction
of bioethanol and electricity based on integrated biomass utilization. A pilot plan reactor for hydrothermal pretreatment
(including weak acid hydrolysis, wet oxidation, and steam pretreatment) with a capacity of 100 kg/h was constructed and tested
for pretreatment of wheat straw for ethanol production. Highest hemicellulose (C5 sugar) recovery and extraction of hemicellulose
sugars was obtained at 190°C whereas highest C6 sugar yield was obtained at 200°C. Lowest toxicity of hydrolysates was observed
at 190°C; however, addition of H2O2 improved the fermentability and sugar recoveries at the higher temperatures. The estimated total ethanol production was 223
kg/t straw assuming utilisation of both C6 and C5 during fermentation, and 0.5 g ethanol/g sugar. 相似文献

Selective thinning of forests in the western United States will generate a large, sustainable quantity of softwood residues
that can be an attractive feedstock for fuel ethanol production. The major species available from thinning of forests in northern
California and the eastern Rocky Mountains include white fir (Abies concolor), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa). Douglas fir chips were soaked in 0.4% sulfuric acid solution, then pretreated with steam at 200 – 230°C for 1 – 5 min.
After pretreatment, 90 – 95% of the hemicellulose and as much as 20% of the cellulose was solubilized in water, and 90% of
the remaining cellulose can be hydrolyzed to glucose by cellulase enzyme. The prehydrolysates, at as high as 10% total solid
concentration, can be readily fermented by the unadapted yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae D5A. 相似文献

A batch reactor was employed to steam explode corn fiber at various degrees of severity to evaluate the potential of using
this feedstock as part of an enzymatically mediated cellulose-to-ethanol process. Severity was controlled by altering temperature
(150–230°C), residence time (1–9 min), and SO2 concentration (0–6% [w/w] dry matter). The effects of varying the different parameters were assessed by response surface
modeling. The results indicated that maximum sugar yields (hemicellulose-derived water soluble, and cellulose-derived following
enzymatic hydrolysis) were recovered from corn fiber pretreated at 190°C for 5 minutes after exposure to 3% SO2. Sequential SO2-catalyzed steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis resulted in a conversion efficiency of 81% of the combined original hemicellulose
and cellulose in the corn fiber to monomeric sugars. An additional posthydrolysis step performed on water soluble hemicellulose
stream increased the concentration of sugars available for fermentation by 10%, resulting in the high conversion efficiency
of 91%. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was able to ferment the resultant corn fiber hydrolysates, perhydrolysate, and liquid fraction from the posthydrolysis steps
to 89, 94, and 85% of theoretical ethanol conversion, respectively. It was apparent that all of the parameters investigated
during the steam explosion pretreatment had a significant effect on sugar recovery, inhibitory formation, enzymatic conversion
efficiency, and fermentation capacity of the yeast. 相似文献

Evaluation and Characterization of Forage Sorghum as Feedstock for Fermentable Sugar Production 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Sorghum is a tropical grass grown primarily in semiarid and drier parts of the world, especially areas too dry for corn. Sorghum
production also leaves about 58 million tons of by-products composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The low
lignin content of some forage sorghums such as brown midrib makes them more digestible for ethanol production. Successful
use of biomass for biofuel production depends on not only pretreatment methods and efficient processing conditions but also
physical and chemical properties of the biomass. In this study, four varieties of forage sorghum (stems and leaves) were characterized
and evaluated as feedstock for fermentable sugar production. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction
were used to determine changes in structure and chemical composition of forage sorghum before and after pretreatment and the
enzymatic hydrolysis process. Forage sorghums with a low syringyl/guaiacyl ratio in their lignin structure were easy to hydrolyze
after pretreatment despite the initial lignin content. Enzymatic hydrolysis was also more effective for forage sorghums with
a low crystallinity index and easily transformed crystalline cellulose to amorphous cellulose, despite initial cellulose content.
Up to 72% hexose yield and 94% pentose yield were obtained using modified steam explosion with 2% sulfuric acid at 140 °C
for 30 min and enzymatic hydrolysis with cellulase (15 filter per unit (FPU)/g cellulose) and β-glucosidase (50 cellobiose
units (CBU)/g cellulose). 相似文献

Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of switchgrass was performed following aqueous ammonia pretreatment.
Switchgrass was soaked in aqueous ammonium hydroxide (30%) with different liquid–solid ratios (5 and 10 ml/g) for either 5
or 10 days. The pretreatment was carried out at atmospheric conditions without agitation. A 40–50% delignification (Klason
lignin basis) was achieved, whereas cellulose content remained unchanged and hemicellulose content decreased by approximately
50%. The Sacccharomyces cerevisiae (D5A)-mediated SSF of ammonia-treated switchgrass was investigated at two glucan loadings (3 and 6%) and three enzyme loadings
(26, 38.5, and 77 FPU/g cellulose), using Spezyme CP. The percentage of maximum theoretical ethanol yield achieved was 72.
Liquid–solid ratio and steeping time affected lignin removal slightly, but did not cause a significant change in overall ethanol
conversion yields at sufficiently high enzyme loadings. These results suggest that ammonia steeping may be an effective method
of pretreatment for lignocellulosic feedstocks. 相似文献

Ball Milling Pretreatment of Corn Stover for Enhancing the Efficiency of Enzymatic Hydrolysis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Ethanol can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass with the usage of ball milling pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis
and fermentation. The sugar yields from lignocellulosic feed stocks are critical parameters for ethanol production process.
The research results from this paper indicated that the yields of glucose and xylose were improved by adding any of the following
dilute chemical reagents: H2SO4, HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH, HCOOH, H3PO4, and NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2, NH3·H2O in the ball milling pretreatment of corn stover. The optimal enzymatic hydrolysis efficiencies were obtained under the conditions
of ball milling in the alkali medium that was due to delignification. The data also demonstrated that ball milling pretreatment
was a robust process. From the microscope image of ball milling-pretreated corn stover, it could be observed that the particle
size of material was decreased and the fiber structure was more loosely organized. Meanwhile, the results indicate that the
treatment effect of wet milling is better than that of dry milling. The optimum parameters for the milling process were ball
speed of 350 r/min, solid/liquid ratio of 1:10, raw material particle size with 0.5 mm, and number of balls of 20 (steel ball,
Φ = 10 mm), grinding for 30 min. In comparison with water milling process, alkaline milling treatment could increase the enzymatic
hydrolysis efficiency of corn stover by 110%; and through the digestion process with the combination of xylanase and cellulase
mixture, the hydrolysis efficiency could increase by 160%. 相似文献

The Department of Energy’s Office of the Biomass Program has set goals of making ethanol cost competitive by 2012 and replacing
30% of 2004 transportation supply with biofuels by 2030. Both goals require improvements in conversions of cellulosic biomass
to sugars as well as improvements in fermentation rates and yields. Current best pretreatment processes are reasonably efficient
at making the cellulose/hemicellulose/lignin matrix amenable to enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, but they release a
number of toxic compounds into the hydrolysate which inhibit the growth and ethanol productivity of fermentation organisms.
Conditioning methods designed to reduce the toxicity of hydrolysates are effective, but add to process costs and tend to reduce
sugar yields, thus adding significantly to the final cost of production. Reducing the cost of cellulosic ethanol production
will likely require enhanced understanding of the source and mode of action of hydrolysate toxic compounds, the means by which
some organisms resist the actions of these compounds, and the methodology and mechanisms for conditioning hydrolysate to reduce
toxicity. This review will provide an update on the state of knowledge in these areas and can provide insights useful for
the crafting of hypotheses for improvements in pretreatment, conditioning, and fermentation organisms. 相似文献

Research is needed to allow more efficient processing of lignocellulose from abundant plant biomass resources for production
to fuel ethanol at lower costs. Potential dedicated feedstock species vary in degrees of recalcitrance to ethanol processing.
The standard dilute acid hydrolysis pretreatment followed by simultaneous sacharification and fermentation (SSF) was performed
on leaf and stem material from three grasses: giant reed (Arundo donax L.), napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.), and bermudagrass (Cynodon spp). In a separate study, napiergrass, and bermudagrass whole samples were pretreated with esterase and cellulose before
fermentation. Conversion via SSF was greatest with two bermudagrass cultivars (140 and 122 mg g−1 of biomass) followed by leaves of two napiergrass genotypes (107 and 97 mg g−1) and two giant reed clones (109 and 85 mg g−1). Variability existed among bermudagrass cultivars for conversion to ethanol after esterase and cellulase treatments, with
Tifton 85 (289 mg g) and Coastcross II (284 mg g−1) being superior to Coastal (247 mg g−1) and Tifton 44 (245 mg g−1). Results suggest that ethanol yields vary significantly for feedstocks by species and within species and that genetic breeding
for improved feedstocks should be possible. 相似文献

In this work, the potential of microwave-assisted alkali pretreatment in order to improve the rupture of the recalcitrant
structures of the cashew able bagasse (CAB), lignocellulosic by-product in Brazil with no commercial value, is obtained from
cashew apple process to juice production, was studied. First, biomass composition of CAB was determined, and the percentage
of glucan and lignin was 20.54 ± 0.70% and 33.80 ± 1.30%, respectively. CAB content in terms of cellulose, hemicelluloses,
and lignin, 19.21 ± 0.35%, 12.05 ± 0.37%, and 38.11 ± 0.08%, respectively, was also determined. Results showed that, after
enzymatic hydrolysis, alkali concentration exerted influence on glucose formation, after pretreatment with 0.2 and 1.0 mo L−1 of NaOH (372 ± 12 and 355 ± 37 mg gglucan−1) when 2% (w/v) of cashew apple bagasse pretreated by microwave-assisted alkali pretreatment (CAB-M) was used. On the other hand, pretreatment
time (15–30 min) and microwave power (600–900 W) exerted no significant effect on hydrolysis. On enzymatic hydrolysis step,
improvement on solid percentage (16% w/v) and enzyme load (30 FPU gCAB-M−1) increased glucose concentration to 15 g L−1. The fermentation of the hydrolyzate by Saccharomyces cerevesiae resulted in ethanol concentration and productivity of 5.6 g L−1 and 1.41 g L−1 h−1, respectively. 相似文献

Bagasse, corn husk, and switchgrass were pretreated with ammonia water to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis. The sample (2 g) was
mixed with 1–6 mL ammonia water (25–28% ammonia) and autoclaved at 120°C for 20 min. After treatment, the product was vacuum-dried
to remove ammonia gas. The dried solid could be used immediately in the enzymatic hydrolysis without washing. The enzymatic
hydrolysis was effectively improved with more than 0.5 and 1 mL ammonia water/g for corn husk and bagasse, respectively. In
bagasse, glucose, xylose, and xylobiose were the main products. The adsorption of CMCase and xylanase was related to the initial
rate of enzymatic hydrolysis. In corn husks, arabinoxylan extracted by pretreatment was substantially unhydrolyzed because
of the high ratio of arabinose to xylose (0.6). The carbohydrate yields from cellulose and hemicellulose were 72.9% and 82.4%
in bagasse, and 86.2% and 91.9% in corn husk, respectively. The ammonia/water pretreatment also benefited from switchgrass
(Miscanthus sinensis and Solidago altissima L.) hydrolysis. 相似文献

Xylan is the major component of hemicellulose, which consists of up to one-third of the lignocellulosic biomass. When the
zinc chloride solution was used as a pretreatment agent to facilitate cellulose hydrolysis, hemicellulose was hydrolyzed during
the pretreatment stage. In this study, xylan was used as a model to study the hydrolysis of hemicellulose in zinc chloride
solution. The degradation of xylose that is released from xylan was reduced by the formation of zinc-xylose complex. The xylose
yield was >90% (w/w) at 70°C. The yield and rate of hydrolysis were a function of temperature and the concentration of zinc
chloride. The ratio of zinc chloride can be decreased from 9 to 1.3 (w/w). At this ratio, 76% of xylose yield was obtained.
When wheat straw was pretreated with a concentrated zinc chloride solution, the hemicellulose hydrolysate contained only xylose
and trace amounts of arabinose and oligosaccharides. With this approach, the hemicellulose hydrolysate can be separated from
cellulose residue, which would be hydrolyzed subsequently to glucose by acid or enzymes to produce glucose. This production
scheme provided a method to produce glucose and xylose in different streams, which can be fermented in separated fermenters. 相似文献

Steam treatment of an industrial process stream, denoted starch-free wheat fiber, was investigated to improve the formation
of monomeric sugars in subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis for further bioconversion into ethanol. The solid fraction in the process
stream, derived from a combined starch and ethanol factory, was rich in arabinose (21.1%), xylose (30.1%), and glucose (18.6%),
in the form of polysaccharides. Various conditions of steam pretreatment (170–220°C for 5–30 min) were evaluated, and their
effect was assessed by enzymatic hydrolysis with 2 g of Celluclast + Ultraflo mixture/ 100 g of starch-free fiber (SFF) slurry
at 5% dry matter (DM). The highest overall sugar yield for the combined steam pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, 52g/100
g of DM of SFF, corresponding to 74% of the theoretical, was achieved with pretreatment at 190°C for 10 min followed by enzymatic
hydrolysis. 相似文献

Corn stover is a domestic feedstock that has potential to produce significant quantities of fuel ethanol and other bioenergy
and biobased products. However, comprehensive yield and carbon mass balance information and validated kinetic models for dilute-sulfuric
acid (H2SO4) pretreatment of corn stover have not been available. This has hindered the estimation of process economics and also limited
the ability to perform technoeconomic modeling to guide research. To better characterize pretreatment and assess its kinetics,
we pretreated corn stover in a continuous 1 t/d reactor. Corn stover was pretreated at 20% (w/w) solids concentration over
a range of conditions encompassing residence times of 3–12 min, temperatures of 165–195°C, and H2SO4 concentrations of 0.5–1.4% (w/w). Xylan conversion yield and carbon mass balance data were collected at each run condition.
Performance results were used to estimate kinetic model parameters assuming biphasic hemicellulose hydrolysis and a hydrolysis
mechanism incorporating formation of intermediate xylo-oligomers. In addition, some of the pretreated solids were tested in
a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process to measure the reactivity of their cellulose component to enzymatic
digestion by cellulase enzymes. Monomeric xylose yields of 69–71% and total xylose yields (monomers and oligomers) of 70–77%
were achieved with performance level depending on pretreatment severity. Cellulose conversion yields in SSF of 80–87% were
obtained for some of the most digestible pretreated solids. 相似文献

Processes that produce only ethanol from lignocellulosics display poor economics. This is generally overcome by constructing
large facilities having satisfactory economies of scale, thus making financing onerous and hindering the development of suitable
technologies. Lignol Innovations has developed a biorefining technology that employs an ethanol-based organosolv step to separate
lignin, hemicellulose components, and extractives from the cellulosic fraction of woody biomass. The resultant cellulosic
fraction is highly susceptible to enzymatic hydrolysis, generating very high yields of glucose (>90% in 12–24h) with typical
enzyme loadings of 10–20 FPU (filter paper units)/g. This glucose is readily converted to ethanol, or possibly other sugar
platform chemicals, either by sequential or simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. The liquor from the organosolv
step is processed by well-established unit operations to recover lignin, furfural, xylose, acetic acid, and a lipophylic extractives
fraction. The process ethanol is recovered and recycled back to the process. The resulting recycled process water is of a
very high quality, low BOD5, and suitable for overall system process closure. Significant benefits can be attained in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions,
as per the Kyoto Protocol. Revenues from the multiple products, particularly the lignin, ethanol and xylose fractions, ensure
excellent economics for the process even in plants as small as 100 mtpd (metric tonnes per day) dry woody biomass input—a
scale suitable for processing wood residues produced by a single large sawmill. 相似文献

Iogen Corporation of Ottawa, Canada, has recently built a 50 t/d biomass-to-ethanol demonstration plant adjacent to its enzyme
production facility. Iogen has partnered with the University of Toronto to test the C6/C5 cofermentation performance characteristics
of National Renewable Energy Laboratory's metabolically engineered Zymomonas mobilis using its biomass hydrolysates. In this study, the biomass feedstock was an agricultural waste, namely oat hulls, which was
hydrolyzed in a proprietary two-stage process involving pretreatment with dilute sulfuric acid at 200–250°C, followed by cellulase
hydrolysis. The oat hull hydrolysate (OHH) contained glucose, xylose, and arabinose in a mass ratio of about 8:3:0.5. Fermentation
media, prepared from diluted hydrolysate, were nutritionally amended with 2.5 mL/L of corn steep liquor (50% solids) and 1.2
g/L of diammonium phosphate. The estimated cost for large-scale ethanol production using this minimal level of nutrient supplementation
was 4.4c/gal of ethanol. This work examined the growth and fermentation performance of xyloseutilizing, tetracycline-resistant,
plasmid-bearing, patented, recombinant Z. mobilis cultures: CP4:pZB5, ZM4:pZB5, 39676:pZB4L, and a hardwood prehydrolysate-adapted variant of 39676:pZB4L (designated asthe
“adapted” strain). In pH-stat batch fermentations with unconditioned OHH containing 6% (w/v) glucose, 3% xylose, and 0.75%
acetic acid, rec Zm ZM4:pZB5 gave the best performance with a fermentation time of 30h, followed by CP4:pZB5 at 48h, with
corresponding volumetric productivities of 1.4 and 0.89 g/(L·h), respectively. Based on the available glucose and xylose,
the process ethanol yield for both strains was 0.47 g/g (92% conversion efficiency). At 48 h, the process yield for rec Zm
39676:pZB4L and the adapted strain was 0.32 and 0.34 g/g, respectively. None of the test strains was able to fermentarabinose.
Acetic acid tolerance appeared to be a major determining factor in cofermentation performance. 相似文献
