The isoelectric point (pI) of lignin-based surfactant is an important factor in the enhancement on the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose. In this work, lignin carboxylate (LC) and quaternary ammonium lignin carboxylates (LCQ-x, x%: the mass ratio of quaternizing agent to enzymatic hydrolysis lignin) with different isoelectric points were synthesized. LC or LCQ-x with pI significantly lower or higher than 4.8 reduced the non-productive adsorption of cellulase on lignin, but for the significant inhibitory effect on cellulase activity, their enhancements on the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose were not remarkable. However, LCQ-x with pI around 4.8 preserved the cellulase activity, and significantly reduced the non-productive adsorption of cellulase, therefore remarkably enhanced the enzymatic hydrolysis. 2 g/L LC, LCQ-40 (pI = 5.0) and LCQ-100 (pI = 9.2) increased the enzymatic digestibility of pretreated eucalyptus from 35.2% to 53.4%, 95.3% and 60.4% respectively. In addition, for the excellent pH-response performance, LCQ could be efficiently recovered after enzymatic saccharification.
木质素基表面活性剂的等电点(pI)是增强木质纤维素酶水解的一个重要因素。在这项工作中,合成了等电点(pI)分别显著低于和高于 4.8 的木质素羧酸盐(LC)和季铵化木质素羧酸盐(LCQ-x,x%:季铵化试剂与酶解木质素的质量比)。pI 显著低于或高于 4.8 的 LC 或 LCQ-x 降低了纤维素酶对木质素的非生产性吸附,但对纤维素酶活性有显著抑制作用,因此对木质纤维素的酶水解增强作用不显著。然而,pI 约为 4.8 的 LCQ-x 保留了纤维素酶活性,显著降低了纤维素酶的非生产性吸附,因此显著增强了酶水解。2 g/L 的 LC、LCQ-40(pI=5.0)和 LCQ-100(pI=9.2)分别将预处理桉树的酶解消化率从 35.2%提高到 53.4%、95.3%和 60.4%。此外,由于具有优异的 pH 响应性能,LCQ 在酶糖化后可有效回收。
