Impact of particle size reduction on high gravity enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded wheat straw
Impact of particle size reduction on high gravity enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded wheat straw
Hoppert, Luis Einfalt, Daniel
Abstract (English)
Economically feasible bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass requires solid loadings ≥ 15% dry matter (DM, w/w). However, increased solid loadings can lead to process difficulties, which are characterized by high apparent slurry viscosity, insufficient substrate mixing and limited water availability, resulting in reduced final glucose yields. To overcome these limitations, this study focused on enzymatic hydrolysis of 10–35% DM solid loadings with steam-exploded wheat straw in two different particle sizes. At solid loadings of 20 and 25% DM small particle size of ≤ 2.5 mm yielded 16.9 ± 1.1% and 10.2 ± 1.4% increased final glucose concentrations compared to large particle size of 30 ± 20 mm. Small particle size also positively influenced slurry viscosity and, therefore, miscibility. As a key finding of this investigation, high gravity enzymatic hydrolysis with solid loadings of 30–35% DM was indeed successfully employed when wheat straw was applied in small particle size. Here, the highest final glucose yield was achieved with 127.9 ± 4.9 g L⁻¹ at 35% DM solid loading. An increase in the solid loading from 10 to 35% DM in small particle size experiments resulted in a 460% increase in the final glucose concentration.
