Abstract
Agriculture biomass is a kind of renewable resource for renewable energy production. Current lignocellulose pretreatment methods face challenges in balancing efficient fermentation with lignin valorization. In this study, SPORL pretreatment for enhancing wheat straw fermentation and the valorization of residual lignin through pyrolysis was investigated. The results suggested that the SPORL pretreated wheat straw has a high glucose conversion rate of about 94.5 % at a pH of 5.5–6.0 after 72 h of enzymolysis, and the maximum H2 fermentation yield was 100.42 mL/g. The residual lignin was characterized and subjected to pyrolysis, and the results showed that the maximum weight loss temperature and residual carbon rate of lignin decreased with the increase of sulfite dose. Following pyrolysis at 600 °C for 30 min, the lignin yielded approximately 22 % bio-oil and 33 % biochar. GC-MS analysis of the bio-oil showed that it contained abundant acetic acid (36 %) and phenolic compounds (20 %), indicating the potential for high-value product conversion. This study provides a comprehensive method for the conversion of wheat straw into bioenergy products, showcasing the economic and ecological benefits of integrated biomass utilization.
期刊介绍:
Industrial Crops and Products is an International Journal publishing academic and industrial research on industrial (defined as non-food/non-feed) crops and products. Papers concern both crop-oriented and bio-based materials from crops-oriented research, and should be of interest to an international audience, hypothesis driven, and where comparisons are made statistics performed.
