Abstract
In this work, the effect of the addition of different concentrations of Tween-80 and three different zeolite-like products on enzymatic hydrolysis, ethanol fermentation, and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process has been investigated. The ability of these products to enhance the effectiveness of the SSF process to ethanol of steam-exploded poplar biomass using the thermotolerant strainKluyveromyces marxianus EMS-26 has been tested.
Tween-80 (0.4 g/L) increased enzymatic hydrolysis yield by 20% when compared to results obtained in hydrolysis in absence of the additive. Zeolite-like products (ZESEP-56 and ZECER-56) (2.5 g/L) improved rates of conversion and ethanol yields in the fermentation of liquid fraction recovered from steam-exploded poplar. The periods required for the completion of fermentation were approx 10 h in the presence of zeolite-like products and 24 h in the absence of additives. The probable mode of action is through lowered levels of inhibitory substances because of adsorption by the additive.
