瞬间弹射蒸汽爆破增强离子液体对水稻秸秆的预处理效果

选取具有不同组分分离效果的离子液体1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑醋酸盐(Emim]Ac)和1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑氯盐(Emim]Cl),并联用瞬间弹射蒸汽爆破(instant catapult steam explosion,ICSE)对水稻秸秆进行预处理。离子液体导致了组分的重排,使纤维素更多地暴露于物料表面,同时减弱了木质素对纤维素紧密交联的程度。ICSE的使用提升了离子液体的预处理效果,酶解糖收率比单纯使用离子液体升高了14.83%(Emim]Ac)和13.14%(Emim]Cl),其中ICSE联用Emim]Ac的糖收率最高达97.00%。采用扫描电镜(SEM)和热重分析仪(TGA)进行物料结构分析,证实了ICSE联用离子液体有助于破坏物料的致密结构,增加无定形区,从而提高酶解糖收率。

Enhanced effects of ionic liquid pretreatment on rice straw by instant catapult steam explosion

In this study, two kinds of ionic liquid, including 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride were used to pretreat rice straw with instant catapult steam explosion (ICSE). The rearrangement of components were caused by ionic liquid pretreatment, which made more cellulose exposed at the surface of rice straw and weakened the cross-link between lignin and cellulose. Through enzymatic hydrolysis analysis, ICSE enhanced the effects of ionic liquid pretreatment by improving the sugar yield. Compared with the sugar yield as using ionic liquid alone, the sugar yield as combination of ICSE and ionic liquid increased by 14.83% (Emim]Ac) and 13.14% (Emim]Cl). The highest value reached 97.00% under the pretreatment by ICSE combine with Emim]Ac. The structural changes were also analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The pretreated materials became more porous with larger amorphous region, and consequently the sugar yield raised.
