Abstract/Description: | Lignocellulose is an important carbohydrate feedstock polymer for societally-acceptable second generation ethanol production. Delignification of lignocellulose is the foremost step towards accessing the sugars that can be fermented for ethanol production. Hence, the relative efficacies of single organosolv acid pretreatments, consisting of acetic and propionic acids, for delignification of corn stover have been optimized. It was observed that amongst the pretreatments involving single organosolv agent, 40% acetic acid resulted in maximum lignin reduction. The co-pretreatment consisting of Hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid resulted in more delignification (90.2% as compared to 75.7% in case of acetic acid alone), though found to be a costlier pretreatment. On the other hand, 40% acetic acid being low-cost and with an additional advantage of acetic acid recovery through distillation offered an economical choice for organosolv pretreatment of corn stover. This work thus guides the development of a cost-effective pretreatment regime for delignification of corn stover. |
