- Ozone was used to improve enzymatic saccharification of microalgal carbohydrates.
- 80.6% (w/w) of total carbohydrates was converted to glucose by ozone pretreatment.
- Ozone doses higher than 0.5Â g O3 gâ1 DWB caused a reduction in glucose yield.
- Acid, alkali and ultrasonic pretreatments were also tested for same algal culture.
- Ozone pretreatment gave better results compared to other pretreatment methods.
In this study, ozone was used as a pretreatment method to improve the yield in enzymatic saccharification of microalgal carbohydrates by increasing the disruption of microalgal cells. Different ozone doses (0.25-2.0 g O3 gâ1 dry weight biomass (DWB)) were applied to the algal suspensions before the enzymatic hydrolysis process, which was performed at various enzyme concentrations, enzymatic hydrolysis times and biomass concentrations. The highest glucose yield obtained was 80.6% (w/w) of total carbohydrates under the conditions of 2.5 g Lâ1 biomass concentration and 4 h hydrolysis time for 0.5 g O3 gâ1 DWB ozone dose and 1.2 mLâ1 gâ1 DWB enzyme concentration. In addition to ozone pretreatment, the same algal culture was subjected to acid, alkaline and ultrasonic pretreatments. It was observed that application of ozone increased the glucose yield much higher than the other three pretreatment methods, indicating its great potential in production of bioethanol from microalgae.
