Enhanced Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Lignin Extraction of Wheat Straw by Triethylbenzyl Ammonium Chloride/Lactic Acid-Based Deep Eutectic Solvent Pretreatment.

ABSTRACT: Efficient and feasible pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass waste is an important prerequisite step to promote subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis and enhance the economics of biofuels production. This study focuses on the pretreatment of wheat straw (WS) with triethylbenzyl ammonium chloride/lactic acid (TEBAC/LA)-based deep eutectic solvents to enhance biomass fractionation and lignin extraction. Effects of pretreatment time, temperature, and TEBAC/LA molar ratio on pretreatment were evaluated systematically. Results suggested that 89.06 ± 1.05% of cellulose and 71.00 ± 1.03% of xylan were hydrolyzed with enzyme loadings of 35 FPU cellulase and 82 CBU ?-glucosidase (per gram of dry biomass) after pretreatment by TEBAC/LA (1:9) at 373 K for 10 h. A total monosaccharide yield of 0.550 g/g WS (91.27% of the theoretical yield) was achieved with 79.73 ± 0.93% of lignin removal. Furthermore, the 1H-13C two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum correlation (2D-HSQC) NMR spectroscopy showed that the regenerated lignin (75.69 ± 1.32% purity) was mainly composed of the syringyl units and the guaiacyl units. Overall, the results in this study provide an effective and facile pretreatment method for lignocellulosic biomass waste to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis saccharification.

Project description:Background:The efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production has received increasing attention. Previous studies have investigated the pretreatment process of biomass, but the detailed enzymatic hydrolysis process of pretreated biomass remains largely unclear. Thus, this study investigated the pretreatment efficiency of dilute alkali, acid, hydrogen peroxide and its ultimate effects on enzymatic hydrolysis. Furthermore, to better understand the enzymatic digestion process of alkali-pretreated sweet sorghum straw (SSS), multimodal microscopy techniques were used to visualize the enzymatic hydrolysis process. Result:After pretreatment with alkali, an enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of 86.44% was obtained, which increased by 99.54% compared to the untreated straw (43.23%). The FTIR, XRD and SEM characterization revealed a sequence of microstructural changes occurring in plant cell walls after pretreatment, including the destruction of lignin-polysaccharide interactions, the increase of porosity and crystallinity, and reduction of recalcitrance. During the course of hydrolysis, the cellulase dissolved the cell walls in the same manner and the digestion firstly occurred from the middle of cell walls and then toward the cell wall corners. The CLSM coupled with fluorescent labeling demonstrated that the sclerenchyma cells and vascular bundles in natural SSS were highly lignified, which caused the nonproductive bindings of cellulase on lignin. However, the efficient delignification significantly increased the accessibility and digestibility of cellulase to biomass, thereby improving the saccharification efficiency. Conclusion:This work will be helpful in investigating the biomass pretreatment and its structural characterization. In addition, the visualization results of the enzymatic hydrolysis process of pretreated lignocellulose could be used for guidance to explore the lignocellulosic biomass processing and large-scale biofuel production.
