Abstract
The profile of enzymatic saccharification of Avicel in the presence and absence of lignin has been described with a fractal kinetic model (Wang and Feng, 2010), in which the retarded hydrolysis rate of enzymatic saccharification of cellulose has been represented with a fractal exponent. The lignin inhibition in the enzymatic saccharification of cellulose is indexed by the increase of fractal exponent, which can not be fully counterbalanced by high cellulase loading due to the high fractal exponent at high cellulase loading. On the contrary, fractal kinetic analysis indicates that an addition of some nonionic surfactant/polymers decrease the fractal exponent to the original values of enzymatic saccharification of Avicel without lignin and the corresponding toxicity of nonionic surfactants/polymers on the consecutive ethanol fermentation strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae is also examined.
