Abstract: | We developed a new pretreatment process for producing high-efficiency bioethanol from a lignocellulosic biomass. Barley straw was pretreated with sodium hydroxide in a twin-screw extruder for continuous pretreatment. The biomass to ethanol ratio (BTER) for optimal pretreatment conditions was evaluated by response surface methodology. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was conducted to investigate the BTER with 30 FPU/g cellulose of enzyme and 7% (v/v) yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae CHY 1011) using 10% (w/v) pretreated biomass under various pretreatment conditions. The maximum BTER was 73.00% under optimal pretreatment conditions (86.61 °C, 0.58 M, and 84.79 mL/min for temperature, sodium hydroxide concentration, and solution flow rate, respectively) and the experimental BTER was 70.01 ± 0.59%. SSF was performed to investigate the optimal enzyme and biomass dosage. As a result, maximum ethanol concentration and ethanol yield were 46.00 g/L and 77.36% at a loading pretreated biomass of 20% with 30 FPU/g cellulose of the enzyme dosage for barley straw to bioethanol. These results are a significant contribution to the production of bioethanol from barley straw. |
