Study of phenoxyethanol-citric acid biphasic pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse for enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis
In this study, a green, lignin-selective, and recyclable solvent of phenoxyethanol (EPH) combined with citric acid (CA) was employed as a biphasic pretreatment system to effectively deconstruct the recalcitrant structure of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) to enhance its enzymatic digestibility. The results showed that the removal of lignin was 81.9 % and the enzymatic hydrolysis yield of SCB reached 73.9 % under the pretreatment at 170 °C with 10.0 % CA. The physicochemical changes of the SCB after the pretreatment showed that the lignin removal, hemicellulose removal, the hydrophobicity, and accessibility of the pretreated SCB were positively correlated. The interactions between lignin and other components in the phenoxyethanol-citric acid (PECA) system were analyzed through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It is found that the lignin molecule can interact with EPH and water to preferentially solubilize in the EPH phase due to the formed high interaction energy and increased hydrogen bond formation. In the lignin-EPH system, the addition of CA increased the number of hydrogen bonds and enhanced the interaction between lignin and the three components, which was conducive to achieving a higher degree of delignification for improved enzymatic hydrolysis.
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.
