Detoxification of Steam-Exploded Corn Stover Prehydrolyzate with Organobentonite Enhances Ethanol Fermentation by Pichia stipitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inhibitors derived from degradation of lignocellulose have adverse impacts on fermentation, which is considered to be a fundamental problem in bioethanol production. Fermentation of steam-exploded corn stover prehydrolyzate by Pichia stipitis showed that phenolic compounds had much higher inhibitory effects than weak acids and furan at high fermentation pH. Two types of organobentonite (cetyltrimethylammonium (CTMA)and benzyltrimethylammonium (BTMA)-modified bentonite) were used to remove phenolic compounds in prehydrolyzate. The effectiveness of organobentonite treatment was evaluated by ethanol fermentation, which indicated that the organobentonite treatment improved the fermentability substantially, even though a noticeable difference was found in the phenol removal by the two organobentonites. Without organobentonite treatment, the sugar utilization ratio was only 68.1%, and the produced ethanol was 15.36 g/L. After CTMAand BTMA-bentonite treatment, the sugar utilization ratios were beyond 95%; meanwhile, the ethanol production increased by 45.5% and 42.8%, respectively. This indicated that organobentonite treatment was a potential detoxification method.

BACKGROUND Due to the unsustainable consumption of fossil resources, great efforts have been made to convert lignocellulose into bioethanol and commodity organic compounds through biological methods. The conversion of cellulose is impeded by the compactness of plant cell wall matrix and crystalline structure of the native cellulose. Therefore, appropriate pretreatment and even post-treatment ar...
متن کاملAn improvement in Pichia stipitis fermentation of acid-hydrolysed hemicellulose achieved by overliming (calcium hydroxide treatment) and strain adaptation.
The fermentability of a corn cob, acid-hydrolysed hemicellulose by Pichia stipitis was considerably improved by pre-treatment with Ca(OH)2. The total sugars utilized and ethanol yield for the untreated hydrolysate were 18% and 0.21 g/g, respectively, compared with 82% and 0.32 g/g respectively for the treated material. Adaptation of the yeast to the hydrolysate resulted in a significantly highe...
