Comparative study on processes of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation with high solid concentration for cellulosic ethanol production
The effects of various simultaneous saccharification fermentation (SSF) technologies on ethanol yield from cellulose were investigated. Using steam-exploded corn stalks as raw materials
five SSF technologies
including traditional SSF
SSF combined with preliminary enzymatic hydrolysis
fed-batch SSF coupled with preliminary enzymatic hydrolysis
SSF united with preliminary enzymatic hydrolysis coupling with vacuum separation and fed-batch SSF associated with preliminary enzymatic hydrolysis coupling with vacuum separation
were used for decomposition of the stalks. By comparing the fermentation process with higher solid concentration including 15% (mass) and 30% (mass)
it was found that the fed-batch SSF combined with preliminary enzymatic hydrolysis is an effective way for raising substrate concentration. However
higher substrate concentration may lead to decrease of final ethanol yield. Moreover
SSF coupled with vacuum separation can weaken the product inhibition
and increase the ethanol yield. The ethanol productivity by the fed-batch SSF associated with preliminary enzymatic hydrolysis coupling with vacuum separation is 0.40 g·L-1·h-1
the highest value obtained
indicating that this technology can be a potential new technology.
