Abstract:
The processing of biomass at high solid loadings brings with it mechanical and rheological issues that reduce the yields in sugars release and ethanol production. An operation strategy termed semi-continuous saccharification-fermentation (SCSF) is introduced in this work. This strategy is based on coupling a quick fed-batch saccharification and self-cycling fermentation. The strategy was tested with wheat straw pre-treated at 25% (d.w.) of solid contents, achieving improvements that increase ethanol production by 2.1 times in comparison to its Separated hydrolysis fermentation (SHF) counterpart.
