Abstract
Delayed fed-batch simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of lime-pretreated wheat straw was carried out with a wild type yeast (i.e., Candida shehatae) to produce high titer ethanol. Calcium ions in lime-pretreated wheat straw were precipitated by pH controlling agent (i.e., sulfuric acid) to reduce inhibition of inorganic ions on yeast fermentation. It was found that ethanol concentration (∼35 g L−1) did not increase as solid loading of substrate increased from 15 % to 20 % in batch SSF. However, in delayed fed-batch SSF, the feeding time of substrate (96 h) was postponed until after the inoculation time (18 h) resulting in a 74 % reduction in residual xylose concentration and a 54.3 % increase in ethanol concentration (54 g L−1). Compared to batch SSF, separation energy of ethanol was decreased by 32.3 % to 977.3 MJ/ton wheat straw in delayed fed-batch SSF, and net energy gain was increased by 20.1 % to 3525.7 MJ/ton wheat straw.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
