Kimia-mekanis pretreatment kayu: Mengurangi perampingan energi dan

meningkatkan daya cerna enzimatik

Sebuah chemimechanical (CM) metode pretreatment telah dibuat, dimana

serpihan kayu yang diolah dengan asam untuk melemahkan struktur fisik maka
disc-disempurnakan untuk menghasilkan substrat berserat. CM pretreatment
langsung dibandingkan dengan metode pretreatment asam encer umum (DA),
dimana kayu mekanis dirampingkan menjadi bubuk atau serat substrat dan
kemudian diolah dengan asam.

Itu adalah hipotesis bahwa urutan pretreatment CM akan mengurangi energi yang dibutuhkan
untuk pengurangan ukuran dan meningkatkan daya cerna enzimatik substrat pra-perawatan.
Dengan memperlakukan kayu chip dalam minuman keras asam sulfat encer sebelum langkah
perampingan mekanik, energi spesifik bersih (NSE) disc-pemurnian berkurang hingga 95%.
Pada perlakuan asam dan disc-pemurnian kondisi optimal ditentukan dalam pekerjaan ini,
CM pretreatment bisa menghasilkan substrat lignoselulosa sangat mudah dicerna (konversi
selulosa 95%), sedangkan yang kurang dari 100 kWh / ton od NSE untuk perampingan
mekanik.

Perbandingan CM dan DA pra-perawatan kayu mengungkapkan bahwa CM

pretreatment menghasilkan substrat secara signifikan lebih mudah dicerna
daripada DA pretreatment. Perbedaan dalam kecernaan CM dan substrat DA pra-
perawatan yang dikaitkan dengan perbedaan struktur fisik. CM pretreatment
menghasilkan substrat yang terutama terdiri dari serat tunggal dan bundel serat
kecil, sementara DA pretreatment diproduksi bundel serat yang lebih besar.
Selanjutnya, substrat CM pretreated memiliki struktur pori lebih mudah diakses,
dan distribusi diubah dari lignin permukaan.

Highlights
Devised chemimechanical pretreatment where wood chips are acid treated then refined.
Compared chemimechanical method with dilute acid pretreatment of wood particles.
Acid treatment of wood chips reduced energy consumed during size reduction.
Chemimechanical substrate was more digestible than dilute acid substrate.
Chemimechanical substrate was more fibrous with greater pore accessibility.

Abstract
A chemimechanical (CM) pretreatment method was devised, wherein wood chips are acid-
treated to weaken the physical structure then disc-refined to produce a fibrous substrate. CM
pretreatment was directly compared with a common dilute acid (DA) pretreatment method,
wherein wood is mechanically downsized to a powder or fiber substrate and then acid-treated.
It was hypothesized that the CM pretreatment sequence would reduce the energy required for
size reduction and increase enzymatic digestibility of the pretreated substrate. By treating
wood chips in a dilute sulfuric acid liquor before the mechanical downsizing step, the net
specific energy (NSE) of disc-refining was reduced by up to 95%. At the optimal acid
treatment and disc-refining conditions determined within this work, CM pretreatment could
produce a highly digestible lignocellulose substrate (95% cellulose conversion) while
requiring less than 100 kWh/tonne od NSE for mechanical downsizing. A comparison of CM
and DA pretreated hardwood revealed that CM pretreatment produced a significantly more
digestible substrate than DA pretreatment. Differences in the digestibility of CM and DA
pretreated substrates were attributed to differences in physical structure. CM pretreatment
produced a substrate that consisted primarily of single fibers and small fiber bundles, while
DA pretreatment produced larger fiber bundles. Furthermore, the CM pretreated substrate had
a more accessible pore structure, and an altered distribution of surface lignin.
