The rate of textile waste generation worldwide has increased dramatically due to a rise in clothing consumption and production. Here, conversion of cotton-based, colored cotton-based, and blended cotton-polyethylene terephthalate (PET) textile waste materials into value-added chemicals (bioethanol, sorbitol, lactic acid, terephthalic acid (TPA), and ethylene glycol (EG)) via enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation was investigated. In order to enhance the efficiency of enzymatic saccharification, effective pretreatment methods for each type of textile waste were developed, respectively. A high glucose yield of 99.1% was obtained from white cotton-based textile waste after NaOH pretreatment. Furthermore, the digestibility of the cellulose in colored cotton-based textile wastes was increased 1.38-1.75 times because of the removal of dye materials by HPAC-NaOH pretreatment. The blended cotton-PET samples showed good hydrolysis efficiency following PET removal via NaOH-ethanol pretreatment, with a glucose yield of 92.49%. The sugar content produced via enzymatic hydrolysis was then converted into key platform chemicals (bioethanol, sorbitol, and lactic acid) via fermentation or hydrogenation. The maximum ethanol yield was achieved with the white T-shirt sample (537 mL/kg substrate), which was 3.2, 2.1, and 2.6 times higher than those obtained with rice straw, pine wood, and oak wood, respectively. Glucose was selectively converted into sorbitol and LA at a yield of 70% and 83.67%, respectively. TPA and EG were produced from blended cotton-PET via NaOH-ethanol pretreatment. The integrated biorefinery process proposed here demonstrates significant potential for valorization of textile waste.
由于服装消费和生产的增加,全球纺织废料的产生率急剧上升。在此,研究了通过酶水解和发酵将棉基、彩色棉基和棉-聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)混合纺织废料转化为增值化学品(生物乙醇、山梨醇、乳酸、对苯二甲酸(TPA)和乙二醇(EG))。为了提高酶促糖化效率,分别开发了针对每种纺织废料的有效预处理方法。经过NaOH预处理后,白色棉基纺织废料获得了99.1%的高葡萄糖产率。此外,由于HPAC-NaOH预处理去除了染料物质,彩色棉基纺织废料中纤维素的消化率提高了1.38-1.75倍。通过NaOH-乙醇预处理去除PET后,棉-PET混合样品显示出良好的水解效率,葡萄糖产率为92.49%。然后,通过酶水解产生的糖含量通过发酵或氢化转化为关键平台化学品(生物乙醇、山梨醇和乳酸)。白色T恤样品的乙醇产量最高(537 mL/kg底物),分别比稻草、松木和橡木的乙醇产量高3.2倍、2.1倍和2.6倍。葡萄糖分别以70%和83.67%的产率选择性转化为山梨醇和LA。通过NaOH-乙醇预处理从棉-PET混合物中生产TPA和EG。本文提出的综合生物炼制工艺显示了纺织废料增值的巨大潜力。
