| [en] Miscanthus x giganteus is a perennial grass which grows rapidly and gives high yields of biomass
per hectare. It can be grown in poor quality soil and is non invasive. Due to its high cellulose and hemicellulose content, it has attracted considerable attention as a possible energy crop to produce bioethanol. Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is a key step to unlocking the protective structures so that the enzymatic hydrolysis of the carbohydrate fraction to monosugars can be achieved more easily and with greater yield. In this study, Miscanthus x giganteus was delignified by a chemical pre-treatment process using a mixture of formic acid/acetic acid (1). The treated material was then hydrolyzed. By means of Box-Behnken experimental design and response surface methodology we investigated the effect of cooking time (60, 120 and 180 min), formic acid/acetic acid/water concentration (20/60/20, 30/50/20 and 40/40/20) and temperature (80, 90 and 107°C) on the residual Klason lignin content and the % of digestibility. The optimal pretreatment process parameters were identified. | |
