Abstract
Bamboo is considered a renewable energy bioresource for solving the energy crisis and climate change. Dendrocalamus branddisii (DB) was first subjected to sulfomethylation reaction at 95°C for 3h, followed by Fenton oxidation pretreatment at 22°C for 24h. The synergistic effect of combined pretreatment dramatically improved enzymatic digestibility efficiency, with maximum yield of glucose and ethanol content of 71.11% and 16.47g/L, respectively, increased by 4.7 and 6.11 time comparing with the single Fenton oxidation pretreatment. It was found that the hydrophobicity of substrate, content of surface lignin, degree of polymerization, and specific surface area have significant effects on the increase of enzymatic saccharification efficiency. It also revealed that sulfomethylation pre-extraction can improve the hydrophilicity of lignin, leading to the lignin dissolution, which was beneficial for subsequent Fenton pretreatment of bamboo biomass. This work provides some reference for Fenton oxidation pretreatment of bamboo biomass, which can not only promote the utilization of bamboo in southwest China, but also enhances the Fenton reaction in the bamboo biorefinery.
