Description

Method for producing ethanol by continuous enzymolysis and fermentation of lignocellulose
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biomass energy, and particularly relates to a method for producing ethanol by continuous enzymolysis and fermentation of lignocellulose.
Background
Energy consumption continues to rise as world population grows and the degree of industrialization of various countries increases. Petroleum is the primary resource to meet energy demands, but petroleum resources are limited, scientists predict that crude oil production will drop from 258 hundred million barrels (35.25 hundred million tons) to 50 hundred million barrels in 2009 in 2050. The renewable biological energy source is used as a renewable transportation fuel, can effectively reduce the room temperature effect, slow down the environmental pollution, change the current unequal petroleum supply and demand relationship, keep continuous supply, and has obvious advantages compared with mineral fuel. Compared with other bioenergy sources such as biodiesel, the production of fuel ethanol has been on a considerable scale (about 1700 ten thousand tons worldwide in 2002), and mainly sugar-containing substances are produced by a fermentation method. The 10% absolute ethyl alcohol (E10) is mixed into the gasoline, so that the energy pressure can be relieved, the octane number can be increased, and the tail gas emission quality can be improved. Fuel ethanol has been widely used as a transportation fuel as a petroleum substitute in the united states and brazil.
The government of China has paid attention to the problems of energy diversification and environmental pollution, and adopts encouraging measures such as financial subsidy, tax reduction and the like to greatly promote the technology and industry development of diversification alternative petroleum energy. The development process of biodiesel, fuel ethanol and other biological liquid fuels is greatly promoted by the export of renewable energy method and national long-term science and technology development planning schema. By 2020, the consumption of the biofuel is about 15% of the total traffic fuel, and the biofuel industry with international competitiveness is established, which brings good development opportunity to the fuel ethanol industry in China. At present, 9 provinces of China are covered with ethanol gasoline in China, the capacity of the existing fuel ethanol is 152 ten thousand tons, and the actual production of the fuel ethanol in 2010 is more than 180 ten thousand tons, and corn and wheat are used as main raw materials. The number of people in China is small, cultivated land resources are short, grain supply is tension, the production of fuel ethanol by taking corn and wheat as raw materials threatens the national grain safety, and causes chain reactions such as price rise of agricultural products, so that the new construction and energy expansion project of fuel ethanol by taking grain as raw materials are strictly controlled in China.
Lignocellulose belongs to a non-grain raw material and is abundant in resources relative to sugar and starch crops. It can be derived from agricultural waste such as wheat straw, corn stalk, corncob, soybean residue, bagasse, etc.; industrial waste such as pulp and paper mill fibrous residue, sawdust, etc.; forestry waste; urban waste such as waste paper, packaging paper and the like. It is estimated that lignocellulose raw material accounts for 50% of 100-500 hundred million tons of world biomass, the annual output of crop straw in China can reach 7 hundred million tons, and a large amount of waste and unused fiber (small branches, bark, leaves, scraps, waste paper and the like) has about five hundred million tons per year, and only 1 hundred million tons of the biomass is used for annual production of 2000 ten thousand tons of fuel ethanol. Therefore, the development of a new process for producing ethanol by lignocellulose has good prospect.
The cost of cellulase in the hydrolysis process of cellulase, the energy consumption in the distillation process of ethanol and the continuity of the enzymolysis process are all the restriction factors of industrialization of cellulosic ethanol. CN200810189465.0 discloses a method for producing cellulosic ethanol, which comprises the following steps: (1) Adding a culture medium containing cellulose and/or hemicellulose raw materials into a fermentation reaction kettle; (2) Adding cellulase into a fermentation reaction kettle, and inoculating candida vinosa; (3) And (3) carrying out synchronous saccharification and fermentation under the combined action of cellulase and candida viticola, and separating to obtain the cellulosic ethanol. CN200810101314.5 discloses a method for preparing ethanol from a cellulose-containing feedstock, which comprises steam explosion of the cellulose-containing feedstock; mixing the obtained steam explosion product with enzyme, and performing enzymolysis; fermenting and hydrolyzing to obtain the product. In order to reduce the cost of the cellulase, the cellulase in the enzymolysis fermentation liquor is recycled and reused as a better method. CN200910212693 discloses a method for enzymatic hydrolysis of wood fibre raw material, which uses pretreated wood fibre as raw material, adopts staged enzymolysis and ultrafiltration to recycle cellulase and beta-glucosidase. However, the cost for recycling the cellulase by using the ultrafiltration membrane is high, and the operation process is complicated.
The gap enzymolysis technology can be used for production, but has low enzymolysis efficiency, can only hydrolyze with low dry matter concentration, has low concentration of hydrolyzed sugar, causes low concentration of final ethanol, affects the energy consumption of subsequent distillation, and has the defects of low equipment utilization rate, large occupied area, large total motor stirring power and the like.

(5) The lower concentrated mixed solution after sedimentation in the sedimentation tank enters a product separation unit, and the supernatant is circulated back to the enzymolysis tank to participate in enzymolysis again.
In the method of the present invention, the mash after the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation in step (3) is first subjected to cell disruption treatment, for example, a high-speed stirring bead grinding disruption method, a high-pressure homogenizing disruption method, a ultrasonic disruption method, an enzymatic disruption method, etc., preferably an enzymatic disruption method is adopted: if the snailase and/or lysozyme can be adopted, the snailase and/or lysozyme are added in a continuous flow mode, the addition amount of the snailase is controlled to be 1-2mg/g dry matter, and the addition amount of the lysozyme is controlled to be 0.2-1.0mg/g dry matter. The feed liquid after cell disruption treatment is mixed with nonionic surfactant in a pipeline mixer and then enters a settling tank for settling.
The lignocellulose raw material in the step (1) comprises all biomass raw materials containing cellulose, such as straw, wood dust, energy plants (such as switchgrass) and waste paper, and the like, preferably corn straw. The pretreatment mode can adopt all physical, chemical and thermochemical technologies capable of improving the enzymolysis performance of lignocellulose, including mechanical crushing, radiation, microwaves, acid treatment, alkali treatment, steam explosion pretreatment, solvent pretreatment, or combined pretreatment of the methods, and the like, and preferably adopts dilute acid steam explosion combined pretreatment.
In the step (2), the retention time of the enzymolysis feed liquid is controlled to be 8-96 hours, preferably 8-24 hours. According to the effective volume of the enzymolysis tank, the adding rate of the pretreatment raw materials and water is controlled, so that the dry matter concentration (the sum of the mass of soluble solids and insoluble solids and the total mass of the system, hereinafter the sum of the mass of soluble solids and the total mass of insoluble solids) of the enzymolysis system is 20-30wt%. The cellulase adopts enzyme protein or enzyme protein mixture of all hydrolyzable lignocellulose components, can be produced on line in factories, and can also be commercially available commercial cellulases, such as Norwesinase or Zealand enzyme. The addition amount of the cellulase is controlled so that the ratio of the cellulase to the cellulose in the pretreated feedstock is 5-25IU/g cellulose. Controlling the pH of the pre-enzymolysis to be 4.5-5.5, preferably 4.8-5.2; the temperature is 45-55deg.C, preferably 48-52deg.C.
The synchronous saccharification and fermentation in the step (3) refers to a process that residual cellulose after the pre-enzymolysis is continuously hydrolyzed while fermenting glucose to produce ethanol or other products. The temperature-resistant saccharomyces cerevisiae adopts a strain which is known at present and can utilize lignocellulose raw materials to ferment and produce ethanol or other products, preferably the temperature-resistant saccharomyces cerevisiae which can tolerate 36-42 ℃ is used, more preferably the temperature-resistant saccharomyces cerevisiae (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) FE-B described in CN200910204295.3 is used, and the preservation number of the strain is CGMCC No. 2735. The seed liquid of the zymophyte is prepared by adopting a conventional culture mode in the field, and the inoculation amount of the seed liquid is 1-5 v percent. In the invention, the pH value is not required to be regulated after enzymolysis, synchronous saccharification and fermentation is directly carried out, the fermentation temperature is controlled to be 35-42 ℃, and the fermentation residence time is controlled to be 12-72h. The nitrogen source added into the synchronous saccharification and fermentation system can be one or more selected from yeast extract, peptone, corn steep liquor, ammonium sulfate or urea, etc., preferably urea, and the addition amount is 0.02 wt% -0.2 wt% of the total mass of the system.
The nonionic surfactant in the step (4) is one or more of Tween20, tween80, PEG, SDS and the like, preferably Tween80 or PEG, and the addition amount of the nonionic surfactant is controlled to be 2-20mg/g dry matter. The fermentation mash is mixed with nonionic surfactant in a pipeline mixer in proportion, and then enters a settling tank for settling, and the combination of lignin and nonionic surfactant helps the cellulase adsorbed on the solid surface in the fermentation mash to be desorbed into the liquid, so that the content of the cellulase in the liquid phase is increased, and the cellulase is recycled back to the enzymolysis tank to participate in the enzymolysis reaction again along with the supernatant, so that the cellulase recycling amount is increased.
In the cellulosic ethanol fermentation mash, cellulase exists in both solid and liquid phases, and no matter what way is adopted to separate and purify the product later, the cellulase can be lost and deactivated to a certain extent. To achieve partial reuse of enzymes, the beer is typically circulated in 3 ways: ① Directly recycling part of fermentation liquor; ② After solid-liquid separation, the fermentation liquor is recycled; ③ After solid-liquid separation, the fermentation liquor is recycled in solid phase. However, the solid residue particles in the fermented mash are below tens of micrometers, most of the solid residue particles are only a few micrometers, the solid-liquid separation is very difficult, and the combination of plate-frame filtration and centrifugation is generally adopted, but the energy consumption is higher; if natural sedimentation is directly carried out, the treatment period is longer, the effect is poor, and the enzyme can not be effectively recycled. The invention mixes the fermented liquor with nonionic surfactant, then enters a settling tank for settling, the temperature of the settling tank is controlled to be 35-55 ℃, and the retention time is controlled to be 0-72 h. Pumping the settled concentrated mixed solution into a product separation unit from the lower part of a settling tank, and circularly feeding the supernatant into an enzymolysis tank, wherein the volume ratio of the concentrated mixed solution and the circulated supernatant of the product separation unit is controlled to be 1:3-3:1. The clear liquid at the upper part of the settling tank is circulated into the enzymolysis tank to replace part or all of water to be added to continuously participate in the enzymolysis reaction, and part of nonionic surfactant is circulated back to the enzymolysis tank along with the supernatant liquid, so that the enzymolysis efficiency is improved.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
1. The nonionic surfactant is added into the fermented mash, and is easy to combine with lignin particles, so that the cellulase adsorbed on the surfaces of the solid particles is facilitated to be desorbed again, and the nonionic surfactant is dissolved in a liquid phase, so that part of cellulase is circulated back to an enzymolysis tank along with the supernatant to participate in enzymolysis reaction again, and the recovery amount and the utilization rate of the enzyme are improved.
2. The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is a heterogeneous reaction in which the cellulase first diffuses to the surface of the substrate cellulose to be adsorbed and then hydrolyzes the cellulose to fermentable sugars. The non-ionic surfactant remaining in the supernatant after settling is recycled back to the enzymatic tank with the supernatant, which can increase the soluble and fermentable sugar conversion levels of cellulose.
3. The fermentation mash is subjected to cell disruption treatment, so that the consumption of cellulase and nonionic surfactant can be reduced; and the sedimentation rate of solid particles can be quickened, the sedimentation residence time is shortened, and the equipment investment cost is reduced. In addition, the extract produced by breaking yeast cells can be used as a nitrogen source for ethanol fermentation along with the circulation of fermentation liquid, so that the fermentation cost is further reduced.
4. The nonionic surfactant is added into the fermented mash, so that the activity and the utilization rate of the enzyme are fully improved, the yield of fermentation products is improved, and the enzymolysis and fermentation cost is reduced while the enzyme is ensured to be recycled. The method realizes continuous production, improves the utilization rate of equipment and saves time.
