Abstract

This study is to investigate the effect of torrefaction on enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for bio-ethanol production. As a pretreatment, the torrefaction of lignocellulosic biomass was conducted in temperature of $250{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ in the absence of oxygen. Tween-80, nonionic surfactant, was tested to enhance saccharification efficiency by coping with hydrophobicity resulted from torrefaction. As a result, the glucose production from enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass pretreated by torrefaction was greater than that obtained from the non-pretreated biomass. Sugar conversion was higher when the biomass was saccharified with addition of tween-80. It was found that torrefaction can be applied as a preptreatment for lignocellulosic biomass and tween-80 is needed to enhance its enzyme saccharification.

본 연구는 바이오에탄올을 생산하고자 목질계 바이오매스의 효소당화에서의 반탄화의 영향을 비교분석하였다. 전처리로서, 목질계 바이오매스의 반탄화는 무산소 조건에서 $250{\sim}350^{\circ}C$의 온도로 시행되었다. 또한 비이온성 계면활성제인 Tween-80을 첨가하여 반탄화로 인한 소수성변환에 대처하여 당화효율을 높이기 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 반탄화 전처리한 바이오매스를 효소당화한 후 글루코즈 생산량이 전처리하지 않은 바이오매스의 글루코즈 생산량보다 높았다. 그리고 Tween-80의 첨가하여 효소당화하였을 때 당 전환율이 더 높았다. 이로 인해 반탄화를 목질계 바이오매스의 전처리로 적용할 수 있으며 Tween-80을 첨가하였을 때 효소당화에 영향이 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
