Detailed Description
The invention provides a method for preparing a high-concentration monosaccharide solution by using poplar, which comprises the following steps:
(1) Mixing poplar with acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide solution, and carrying out pretreatment reaction;
(2) Carrying out solid-liquid separation on the pretreatment liquid after the pretreatment reaction and poplar, mixing pretreated poplar filter residues with alkali liquor, and carrying out alkali pretreatment;
(3) Performing solid-liquid separation on the treatment liquid after alkali pretreatment and poplar alkali treatment filter residues, and washing the alkali treatment filter residues to be neutral to obtain a pretreatment raw material;

According to the invention, poplar is mixed with acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide solution for pretreatment reaction. In the invention, the mass ratio of poplar to acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide solution is preferably 1g: 8-10 mL; the volume percentage of the acetic acid hydrogen peroxide in the acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide solution is preferably 60%. The acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide treatment can remove a large amount of lignin in the poplar, improve the degradability of the poplar and realize the pretreatment of the poplar. The source of the acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide solution is not particularly limited, and the acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide solution can be prepared by self. When a self-preparation mode is adopted, the preparation of the acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide solution is preferably as follows: acetic acid with the mass fraction of 99% and hydrogen peroxide with the mass fraction of 30% are mixed in equal volume, the mixed solution is diluted by water, and sulfuric acid is added for catalysis to prepare the acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide solution. Sulfuric acid can catalyze acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide to generate peracetic acid, so that the solution becomes a more oxidizing mixed solution. The acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide pretreatment of poplar can remove a large amount of lignin components in the poplar and greatly retain the polysaccharide composition of the poplar.
After the poplar is pretreated by acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide, the pretreatment liquid after the pretreatment reaction is subjected to solid-liquid separation with the poplar, and the pretreated poplar filter residues are mixed with alkali liquor for alkali pretreatment. In the invention, the mass ratio of the pretreated filter residue to the alkali liquor is preferably 1g: 8-10 mL; the mass concentration of the alkali liquor is preferably 0.1-0.5%, more preferably 0.2-0.4%; the method can avoid insufficient removal of a large amount of acetyl groups in the enzymolysis process with the concentration of the alkali liquor being too low, can avoid the condition that the removal of a large amount of lignin and polysaccharide components caused by excessive alkali liquor is unfavorable for hydrolysis, and can effectively reduce the loss of the polysaccharide components. The alkali liquor can remove acetyl in the alkali liquor, so that the enzymolysis efficiency of poplar can be improved. The invention is not particularly limited in the kind of solute in the alkali liquor, and preferably comprises one or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide; the alkali pretreatment is preferably carried out by cooling to room temperature, wherein the temperature of the alkali pretreatment is preferably 60-80 ℃, more preferably 60-75 ℃, and in the embodiment of the invention, the temperature of the alkali pretreatment is specifically 60 ℃; the time is preferably 1 to 2 hours. The alkali pretreatment is preferably carried out in a sealed reaction kettle, the lining of the reaction kettle is preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene, the lining of the reaction kettle is made of polytetrafluoroethylene and does not contain metal or other reducing materials, and the reaction kettle is corrosion-resistant and not easy to cause explosion. The proper alkali pretreatment temperature and time ensure that the acetyl groups of the poplar are removed in the alkali treatment process, and simultaneously a large amount of polysaccharide components and a small amount of necessary lignin components are reserved, so that the residual acetyl groups in the poplar can be greatly removed after the alkali pretreatment of the poplar is pretreated by the acetic acid-hydrogen peroxide, and the accessibility of cellulose to the poplar is improved, so that the hydrolysis of the poplar is promoted.
After the alkali treatment is finished, the treatment liquid after the alkali pretreatment and the poplar alkali treatment filter residue are subjected to solid-liquid separation, and the alkali treatment filter residue is washed to be neutral to obtain a pretreatment raw material. The invention washes the filter residue until the filter residue is neutral, so that the residual alkali liquor in the raw materials can be removed, and the interference of the alkali liquor on subsequent hydrolysis is reduced.
After the pretreated raw material is obtained, the pretreated raw material, a sodium citrate buffer solution and cellulase are mixed for enzymolysis. In the invention, the volume ratio of the mass of the pretreatment raw materials to the sodium citrate buffer solution is 150-250 mg:1mL, more preferably 200 to 250mg:1mL; the pH of the sodium citrate buffer is 5-6. The dosage of the cellulase is preferably 20-40 FPU of cellulase added to each gram of filter residue. In the present invention, the temperature of the enzymolysis is preferably 50 ℃; the time of the enzymolysis is preferably 168 hours. The source of the cellulase is not particularly limited, and the cellulase is a conventional cellulase in the art. After the raw materials are washed to be neutral, cellulase is added, and the sodium citrate buffer solution can buffer the release of organic acid in the hydrolysis process, so that the stability of the hydrolysis pH at the optimal activity of the enzyme is ensured.
The concentration of the high-concentration monosaccharide solution is preferably higher than 140mg/mL, more preferably 150-250 mg/mL, the subsequent high-concentration product conversion is easy, and the distillation and purification cost in the later conversion process is greatly reduced.
