High concentrations of fermentable sugars are a demand for economical bioethanol production. A single process strategy cannot comprehensively solve the limiting factors in high-solid enzymatic hydrolysis. The multiple intensification strategies in this study achieved the goal of preparing high-concentration fermentable sugars of corn stalk with high solid loading and low enzyme loading. First, steam explosion pretreatment enhanced the hydrophilicity of substrates and enzymatic accessibility. Second, periodic peristalsis was used to improve the mass transfer efficiency and short the liquefaction time. Additionally, fed-batch feeding and enzyme reduced the enzyme loading. Ultimately, the intensification strategies above showed that the highest fermentable sugar content was 313.8 g/L with a solids loading as much as 50% (w/w) and enzyme loading as low as 12.5 FPU/g DM. Thus, these multiple intensification strategies were promising in the high-solid enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded lignocellulose.
高浓度可发酵糖是经济生物乙醇生产的需求。单一的工艺策略不能全面解决高固酶解中的限制因素。本研究中的多种强化策略实现了用高固体负荷和低酶负荷制备高浓度可发酵糖的玉米秸秆的目标。首先,蒸汽爆破预处理提高了底物的亲水性和酶的可及性。其次,周期性蠕动用于提高传质效率并缩短液化时间。此外,分批进料和酶降低了酶的用量。最终,上述强化策略表明,在固体含量高达 50%(w/w)和酶用量低至 12.5 FPU/g DM 的情况下,最高可发酵糖含量为 313.8 g/L。因此,这些多种强化策略在蒸汽爆破木质纤维素的高固体酶解中具有广阔的应用前景。
