Abstract: | Summary The use of a column cellulose hydrolysis reactor with continuous enzyme recycling was demonstrated by incorporating a continuous ultrafiltration apparatus at the effluent end of the column reactor. Using this setup, over 90% (w/v) cellulose hydrolysis was achieved, resulting in an average sugar concentration of 6.8% (w/v) in the effluent stream. The output of the system was 1.98 g of reducing sugar/l/h with a ratio of 87% (w/v) of the reducing sugars being monomeric sugars. Batch hydrolysis reactors were less effective, resulting in 57% (w/v) of the cellulose being hydrolyzed. The output of the batch reactor was 1.33 g of reducing sugar/l/h with similar product concentrations and percentage of monomeric sugars. The ratio of reducing sugar/filter paper unit of cellulase activity for the column method was 69.1 mg/U as compared to only 21.2 mg/U for the batch reactor. |
