Abstract
In this study, physical method reinforced chemical pretreatments of Triarrhena lutarioriparia (TL) were compared to explore the higher reducing sugar yield in subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. Four different pretreatments, namely hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP), dilute acid pretreatment (HCl-P), ultrasound assisted acid pretreatment (HCl + U) and microwave assisted acid pretreatment (HCl + M) were conducted on TL. The structural features of TL after different pretreatments were investigated by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) techniques. The fractal-like theory was introduced to study the enzymatic hydrolysis kinetics of TL. Results showed that the reducing sugar yield of HCl-P reached 100.14 mg/g, showing 1.34 times higher than that of the raw. Due to the hemicellulose and lignin removal and lignocellulosic structure destruction, ultrasound and microwave irradiation strengthened the HCl-P, leading to a great enhancement of enzymatic hydrolysis of TL, especially the microwave irradiation. Moreover, the fractal-like theory was confirmed to be satisfactory for studying the enzymatic hydrolysis kinetics of lignocellulosic biomass.
