Production of Fuel Ethanol from Hydrotherm-Pretreated Corn Stover by Pichia stipitis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Corn stover is an abundant raw material for fuel ethanol production. Finding out the appropriate process for ethanol production will be possible to achieve industrilization. Hydrothermal pretreatment (195°C,15min) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) were adopted to produce ethanol from corn stover. The results showed that 86.5% of cellulose were remained in solid cake and most of hemicellulose were solubilized after pretreatment. The highest ethanol concentrationl of 12.12 g/ L was achieved at initial pH of 5.5,temperature 30°C and 130 rpm shaking rate with substrate concentration of 5%(w/v) by Pichia stipitis58376 after 192 h.The corresponding volumetric productivity were 0.065g/Lh .
