Comparative Kinetic Analysis of Enzyme Hydrolysis of Steam-exploded Wheat Straw
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work represents a comparative kinetic analysis of enzyme hydrolysis, using two kinetic variables to describe both reducing sugars and glucose. The preliminary treatment of wheat straw by steam explosion was followed by enzyme hydrolysis using the NS 50013 and β-glucosidase NS 50010 enzyme cellulase complex. The hydrolysis has been described by an exponential kinetic equation valid for processes developed on uniformly inhomogeneous surfaces. The wheat straw–enzyme system has been observed to behave as an energetically homogeneous one. The preexponential factor decreased with the increase of the hydrolysis degree, some kind of compensation effect between the change of activation energy and the preexponential factor being derived. The isokinetic temperature at which a complete compensation was observed was calculated, the rates of reducing sugars and glucose formation being equal.

Optimization of a synthetic mixture composed of major Trichoderma reesei enzymes for the hydrolysis of steam-exploded wheat straw
BACKGROUND An efficient hydrolysis of lignocellulosic substrates to soluble sugars for biofuel production necessitates the interplay and synergistic interaction of multiple enzymes. An optimized enzyme mixture is crucial for reduced cost of the enzymatic hydrolysis step in a bioethanol production process and its composition will depend on the substrate and type of pretreatment used. In the pres...

In this work we compared the efficiency of a laccase treatment performed on steam-exploded wheat straw pretreated under soft conditions (water impregnation) or harsh conditions (impregnation with diluted acid). The effect of several enzymatic treatment parameters (pH, time of incubation, laccase origin and loading) was analysed. The results obtained indicated that severity conditions applied du...
متن کاملMixtures of thermostable enzymes show high performance in biomass saccharification.
Optimal enzyme mixtures of six Trichoderma reesei enzymes and five thermostable enzyme components were developed for the hydrolysis of hydrothermally pretreated wheat straw, alkaline oxidised sugar cane bagasse and steam-exploded bagasse by statistically designed experiments. Preliminary studies to narrow down the optimization parameters showed that a cellobiohydrolase/endoglucanase (CBH/EG) ra...
متن کاملEffect of Laccase Dosage on Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Steam- Exploded Wheat Straw
When laccases are applied for detoxifying steam-exploded slurries, enzymatic hydrolysis is affected. In this study, 10% (w/v) of dry weight (DW) slurry or water insoluble solid fraction were subjected to 48 h enzymatic hydrolysis in the presence of different laccase loadings (0.1, 0.5, 5 or 10 IU/g DW). All laccase dosages higher than 0.1 IU/g DW significantly inhibited glucose recovery. Nevert...
متن کاملContinuous Steam Explosion of Wheat Straw by High Pressure Mechanical Refining System to Produce Sugars for Bioconversion
This study demonstrated the use of a pressurized mechanical refining system for the continuous steam explosion pretreatment of wheat straw. Wheat straw was first impregnated with either dilute acid (0.5% sulfuric acid) or water and then steam exploded in an Andritz pressurized refiner. The effect of a range of pretreatment conditions, including refining retention time and steam pressure/tempera...
