乙醇预处理麦秆的酶解性能研究

采用H2SO4催化和自催化乙醇法对麦秆进行预处理,比较预处理后麦秆的主要化学组成、纤维素酶解性能和半同步糖化发酵生产乙醇特性,并进行物料衡算。结果表明:H2SO4催化和自催化乙醇预处理过程中纤维素固体回收率大于90%。添加非离子表面活性剂吐温20和吐温80没有显著提高H2SO4催化乙醇预处理后纤维素的酶解葡萄糖得率及半同步糖化发酵过程中乙醇的产量,而对自催化乙醇处理后麦秆的酶解和半同步糖化发酵过程有一定程度的促进作用,相应的酶解葡聚糖转化率由72.7%提高到85.0%,而半同步糖化发酵过程中乙醇质量浓度提高了11.4%。物料衡算结果表明:酸催化和自催化乙醇预处理后葡聚糖回收率分别为91.0%和95.4%;半同步糖化发酵生产乙醇的得率分别为10.4和11.6 g(按100 g原料计)。     

木薯纤维素乙醇发酵的纤维素酶成本评价

木薯中的纤维素成分约占木薯干重的10％(W/W).文中以木薯燃料乙醇生产的木薯纤维素酒渣为原料,从纤维素酶成本角度评估了三种利用木薯纤维素组分发酵生产乙醇的方法,包括木薯纤维素酒渣的直接糖化和乙醇发酵、木薯纤维素酒渣预处理后的糖化与乙醇发酵、木薯乙醇发酵中同步淀粉与纤维素糖化以及乙醇发酵.结果表明,前两种方法的纤维素利用效率不高,酶成本分别达到13602、11659元/吨乙醇.第三种方法,即在木薯乙醇发酵过程同时加入糖化酶和纤维素酶,进行同步淀粉与纤维素糖化,进而进行乙醇发酵,木薯纤维素乙醇的收益最高.发酵结束时的乙醇浓度从101.5g/L提高到107.0g/L,纤维素酶成本为3 589元/吨乙醇.此方法利用木薯纤维素与木薯淀粉同时进行,不会带来额外的设备及操作投入,酶成本低于产品乙醇价格,可实现盈利,因此第三种方法为木薯纤维用于乙醇发酵的最适方法,本研究结果将为木薯乙醇产业深度利用木薯纤维提供依据.

常压甘油自催化预处理麦草浓醪发酵纤维素乙醇

目前纤维素乙醇成本偏高的根本原因在于没有达到淀粉质乙醇发酵水平的"三高"(高浓度、高转化率和高效率)指标,提高水解糖液浓度和避免发酵抑制物来实现浓醪发酵,是解决问题的关键。文中以常压甘油自催化预处理麦草为底物,尝试采用不同发酵策略,探讨其浓醪发酵产纤维素乙醇的可行性。在优化培养条件(15%底物浓度,加酶量30 FPU/g干底物,温度37℃,接种量10%)下同步糖化发酵72 h,纤维素乙醇产量为31.2 g/L,转化率为73%,发酵效率0.43 g/(L·h);采用半同步(预酶解24 h)糖化发酵72 h,纤维素乙醇浓度达到33.7 g/L,转化率为79%,发酵效率为0.47 g/(L·h),其中(半)同步糖化发酵中90%以上纤维素已被糖化水解用于发酵;采用分批补料式半同步糖化发酵,补料到基质浓度相当于30%,发酵72 h时纤维素乙醇产量达到51.2 g/L,转化率为62%,发酵效率为0.71 g/(L·h)。在所有浓醪发酵中乙酸不足3 g/L,无糠醛和羟甲基糠醛等发酵抑制物。以上结果表明,常压甘油自催化预处理木质纤维素基质适用于纤维素乙醇发酵;分批补料式半同步糖化发酵策略可用来进行浓醪纤维素乙醇发酵;未来工作中提高基质纯度和强化酶解产糖是浓醪纤维素乙醇达到"三高"指标的关键。

Optimization of fermentation conditions for the production of ethanol from sago starch using response surface methodology

The quantitative effects of temperature, pH and time of fermentation were investigated on simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of ethanol from sago starch with glucoamylase (AMG) and Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 using a Box–Wilson central composite design protocol. The SSF process was studied using free enzyme and free cells and it was found that with sago starch, maximum ethanol concentration of 70.68 g/l was obtained using a starch concentration of 140 g/l, which represents an ethanol yield of 97.08%. The optimum conditions for the above yield were found to be a temperature of 36.74 °C, pH of 5.02 and time of fermentation of 17 h. Thus by using the central composite design, it is possible to determine the accurate values of the fermentation parameters where maximum production of ethanol occurs.     

Production of alcohol from raw wheat flour by Amyloglucosidase and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Ethanol production, by a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process from raw wheat flour, has been performed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a low level of amyloglucosidase enzyme. The fermentation time was about 60 h after a 6 h pre-saccharification, with an amyloglucosidase (AMG) level of 270 AGU. kg(-1) starch, but only 31 h with a simultaneous saccharification fermentation process (SSF). When an AMG level of 540 AGU. kg(-1) starch was used, the time decreased to 21 h, giving an ethanol concentration of 67 g. l(-1). Sugar composition of the wort after the liquefaction may be responsible of the difference between these two process. Maltose, a fermentable sugar, was produced in high concentration during the liquefaction, allowing a shorter process period, counteracting the effect of the slow starch hydrolysis at 35 degrees C (SSF temperature).

Integrated process of starch ethanol and cellulosic lactic acid for ethanol and lactic acid production

The sequential production of bioethanol and lactic acid from starch materials and lignocellulosic materials was investigated as ethanol fermentation broth (EFB) can provide nutrients for lactic acid bacteria. A complete process was developed, and all major operations are discussed, including ethanol fermentation, broth treatment, lactic acid fermentation, and product separation. The effect of process parameters, including ethanol fermentation conditions, treatment methods, and the amount of EFB used in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), is investigated. Under the selected process conditions, the integrated process without additional chemical consumption provides a 1.08 acid/alcohol ratio (the broth containing 22.4 g/L ethanol and 47.6 g/L lactic acid), which corresponds to a polysaccharide utilization ratio of 86.9 %. Starch ethanol can thus promote cellulosic lactic acid by providing important nutrients for lactic acid bacteria, and in turn, cellulosic lactic acid could promote starch ethanol by improving the profit of the ethanol production process. Two process alternatives for the integration of starch ethanol and cellulosic lactic acid are compared, and some suggestions are given regarding the reuse of yeast following the cellulosic SSF step for lactic acid production.     

Optimization of fermentation conditions for the production of ethanol from sago starch by co-immobilized amyloglucosidase and cells of Zymomonas mobilis using response surface methodology

Statistical experimental design was used to optimize the conditions of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), viz. temperature, pH and time of fermentation of ethanol from sago starch with co-immobilized amyloglucosidase (AMG) and Zymomonas mobilis MTCC 92 by submerged fermentation. Maximum ethanol concentration of 55.3 g/l was obtained using a starch concentration of 150 g/l. The optimum conditions were found to be a temperature of 32.4 °C, pH of 4.93 and time of fermentation of 17.24 h. Thus, by using SSF process with co-immobilized AMG and Z. mobilis cells MTCC 92, the central composite design (CCD) was found to be the most favourable strategy investigated with respect to ethanol production and enzyme recovery.     

Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of ground corn stover for the production of fuel ethanol using Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Gloeophyllum trabeum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Escherichia coli K011

Enzymatic saccharification of corn stover using Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Gloeophyllum trabeum and subsequent fermentation of the saccharification products to ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli K011 were achieved. Prior to simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) for ethanol production, solid-state fermentation was performed for four days on ground corn stover using either P. chrysosporium or G. trabeum to induce in situ cellulase production. During SSF with S. cerevisiae or E. coli, ethanol production was the highest on day 4 for all samples. For corn stover treated with P. chrysosporium, the conversion to ethanol was 2.29 g/100 g corn stover with S. cerevisiae as the fermenting organism, whereas for the sample inoculated with E. coli K011, the ethanol production was 4.14 g/100 g corn stover. Corn stover treated with G. trabeum showed a conversion 1.90 and 4.79 g/100 g corn stover with S. cerevisiae and E. coli K011 as the fermenting organisms, respectively. Other fermentation co-products, such as acetic acid and lactic acid, were also monitored. Acetic acid production ranged between 0.45 and 0.78 g/100 g corn stover, while no lactic acid production was detected throughout the 5 days of SSF. The results of our experiment suggest that it is possible to perform SSF of corn stover using P. chrysosporium, G. trabeum, S. cerevisiae and E. coli K011 for the production of fuel ethanol.     

Cellulosic ethanol production on temperature-shift simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using the thermostable yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus CHY1612

In cellulosic ethanol production, use of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) has been suggested as the favorable strategy to reduce process costs. Although SSF has many advantages, a significant discrepancy still exists between the appropriate temperature for saccharification (45-50 °C) and fermentation (30-35 °C). In the present study, the potential of temperature-shift as a tool for SSF optimization for bioethanol production from cellulosic biomass was examined. Cellulosic ethanol production of the temperature-shift SSF (TS-SSF) from 16 w/v% biomass increased from 22.2 g/L to 34.3 g/L following a temperature shift from 45 to 35 °C compared with the constant temperature of 45 °C. The glucose conversion yield and ethanol production yield in the TS-SSF were 89.3% and 90.6%, respectively. At higher biomass loading (18 w/v%), ethanol production increased to 40.2 g/L with temperature-shift time within 24 h. These results demonstrated that the temperature-shift process enhances the saccharification ratio and the ethanol production yield in SSF, and the temperature-shift time for TS-SSF process can be changed according to the fermentation condition within 24 h.     

Ethanol production by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Zymomonas mobilis</Emphasis> CHZ2501 from industrial starch feedstocks

The optimal conditions of ethanol fermentation process by Zymomonas mobilis CHZ2501 were investigated. Brown rice, naked barley, and cassava were selected as representatives of the starch-based raw material commercially available for ethanol production. Considering enzyme used for saccharification of starch, the ethanol productivity with complex enzyme was higher than glucoamylase. With regards to the conditions of saccharification, the final ethanol productions of simultaneous saccharification and pre-saccharified process for 1 h were not significantly different. The result suggested that it is possible for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation as a cost-effective process for ethanol production by eliminating the separate saccharification. Additionally, the fermentation rate in early fermentation stage was generally increased with increase of inoculum volume. As the result, optimal condition for ethanol production was simultaneous saccharification and fermentation with complex enzyme and 5% inoculation. Under the same condition, the volumetric productivities and ethanol yields were attained to 3.26 g/L·h and 93.5% for brown rice, 2.62 g/L·h and 90.4% for naked barley, and 3.28 g/L·h and 93.7% for cassava, respectively.     

Optimization of saccharification and ethanol production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) from seaweed, Saccharina japonica

Ethanol was produced using the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) method with macroalgae polysaccharide from the seaweed Saccharina japonica (Sea tangle, Dasima) as biomass. The seaweed was dried by hot air, ground with a hammer mill and filtered with a 200-mesh sieve prior to pretreatment. Saccharification was carried out by thermal acid hydrolysis with H(2)SO(4) and the industrial enzyme, Termamyl 120 L. To increase the yield of saccharification, isolated marine bacteria were used; the optimal saccharification conditions were 10% (w/v) seaweed slurry, 40 mM H(2)SO(4) and 1 g dcw/L isolated Bacillus sp. JS-1. Using this saccharification procedure, the reducing sugar concentration and viscosity were 45.6 ± 5.0 g/L and 24.9 cp, respectively, and the total yield of the saccharification with optimal conditions and S. japonica was 69.1%. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation was carried out for ethanol production. The highest ethanol concentration, 7.7 g/L (9.8 ml/L) with a theoretical yield of 33.3%, was obtained by SSF with 0.39 g dcw/L Bacillus sp. JS-1 and 0.45 g dcw/L of the yeast, Pichia angophorae KCTC 17574.
