Definitions
- the present invention comprises a pretreatment step of subjecting a lignocellulose-based raw material to a treatment suitable for use in enzymatic saccharification reaction, and an enzymatic saccharification step of saccharifying the pretreated lignocellulosic raw material with an enzyme. More specifically, the present invention relates to an enzyme comprising a cellulolytic enzyme and a hemicellulolytic enzyme that contains lignocellulose that has been subjected to a treatment suitable for saccharification.
- a group of lignocellulosic biomass capable of recovering the used enzyme group from the reaction solution with high recovery and circulating it over a long period of time
- Enzymatic saccharification treatment method or biomass containing lignocellulose the fine fibers remaining in the treatment suspension after concurrent saccharification and fermentation treatment are recovered, and the recovered fine fibers are again subjected to the saccharification or concurrent saccharification and fermentation treatment, and the ethanol production can be improved.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing ethanol from biomass containing lignocellulose. This application is related to Japanese Patent Application No.
- the technology to produce sugar from lignocellulosic raw material that has been treated appropriately for saccharification uses alcohol as a substitute fuel for gasoline by using this sugar as a fermentation substrate for microorganisms, and converts succinic acid and lactic acid as plastic raw materials It is a useful technology for the formation of a recycling society because it can produce raw materials for products.
- Methods of producing monosaccharides and oligosaccharides to be fermentation substrates from polysaccharides in plant biomass can be roughly divided into two. One is an acid saccharification method that hydrolyzes using a mineral acid, and the other is an enzyme saccharification method that hydrolyzes using an enzyme and a microorganism that produces the enzyme.
- the acid saccharification method is technically completed compared to the enzymatic saccharification method, but in the case of the method using lignocellulosic biomass as the raw material, the sugar yield is lower than the method using starch or waste molasses as the raw material In addition to the fact that the treatment equipment for waste acid discharged from the treatment process and large equipment that can resist corrosion by acid are required, this is a cause of the increase in product cost, which is a major barrier to practical use. ing.
- the enzymatic saccharification method has approached the cost of the acid saccharification method at the whole cost including the post treatment due to the recent decrease of the price of the enzyme and the progress of the technology, but the whole of the enzymatic saccharification method Since the cost of enzymes, which account for a high proportion of the cost, is still high, it is important to further reduce the cost of enzymes for practical application of the enzymatic saccharification method.
- Lignocellulosic materials from which lignin has not been removed are less susceptible to degradation by enzymes than lignocellulosic materials from which lignin is removed, and are not saccharified and remain as residues in the saccharification solution together with impurities such as resin and metal. Generally, this residue is separated and discarded by screen, centrifugation or the like. Since a large amount of an enzyme that occupies a large specific gravity in the cost of the enzymatic saccharification method is adsorbed to this residue, if the residue separated from the reaction solution is discarded as it is, expensive enzymes are also discarded. There was a problem. That is, the problem is to recover and effectively use the residue to reduce the cost of the enzymatic saccharification method.
- Patent Document 6 As a technology to reuse the residue recovered in the enzymatic saccharification method, a method of burning the residue and obtaining thermal energy (hydrothermal gasification of the residue) and synthesizing ethanol from the produced synthesis gas with an ethanol synthesis catalyst A method (Patent Document 6), a method of using a residue as fuel or fertilizer (Patent Document 7), and a method of using a residue as thermal energy (Patent Document 8) have been reported. However, these methods are not sufficient as a method for solving the problem of cost reduction when devising a practical facility because the cost increase due to the addition of the process step is large.
- washing of the residue is considered as a means for recovering the enzyme in the residue as described above.
- the enzyme is strongly bound to cellulose by the cellulose binding domain (CBD) etc. which specifically adsorbs to the cellulose contained in its molecule, the enzyme adsorbed to cellulose can be sufficiently obtained by mere water washing. It was difficult to recover. Therefore, for the purpose of improving the recovery rate of the enzyme, there has been proposed a method of treating by adding a surfactant (see Patent Document 1).
- the recovery rate of the enzyme is not sufficient, and the enzyme deactivation due to the addition of a drug, the cost increase associated with the addition of treatment steps, and the adverse effect on microorganisms in the subsequent fermentation stage. It is not practical because there are concerns, etc.
- Patent Document 4 There has been proposed a method of reusing lignocellulose residue adsorbed by the enzyme for the next enzymatic saccharification without passing through the step of peeling the adsorbed enzyme. In this method, it is feared that the reaction efficiency is reduced since accumulation of residue is inevitable.
- enzymes that have CBD such as CBH (cellobiohydrolase)
- reprocessing of lignocellulosic residues in the next step makes it possible to recycle the enzyme, but ⁇ -glucosidase etc. is released in the supernatant. It is difficult to recycle all of the added cellulase.
- the undegraded residue itself is in a state of being difficult to be degraded even if it is mixed with the enzyme solution again, so it is an object to make the undegraded residue easy to be saccharified.
- the inventors of the present invention have found that the amount of ethanol production is increased by mechanically treating the undegraded residue recovered by solid-liquid separation and performing saccharification and fermentation again (Patent Document 9).
- the residue used as a raw material in this method has a problem that it is a residue recovered by a 420 mesh (38 ⁇ m) screen and contains fibers of a wide size.
- Fibers of large size with large lignin adsorption are difficult to be degraded by enzymes, and therefore, they are not sufficiently saccharified without pretreatment (mechanical treatment etc.). If only fibers of small size with a small amount of lignin adsorption are selectively recovered and pretreated as a raw material and can be enzymatically saccharified again, it is expected that the efficient production of ethanol can be improved.
- the membrane separation device separates the solution and circulates only the unreacted raw material to the main reaction tank, and the enzyme and generated glucose and cellobiose are separated from the hydrolyzate from the membrane separation device and only the enzyme is recycled to the main reaction tank
- the cost is predicted assuming a continuous system provided with a circulation line having an external filtration device. According to this system, the saccharification rate is 100% in 25 hours, and the remaining rate of the enzyme is 95% or more in 24 hours.

- the microorganism may be immobilized.
- Immobilizing the microorganism can omit the step of recovering the microorganism in the next step, or at least reduce the burden on the recovery step, and can also reduce the risk of losing the microorganism. Although there is no merit in immobilizing the microorganism, it is possible to facilitate the recovery of the microorganism by selecting the coagulating microorganism.

- the suspension concentration of the lignocellulosic material is preferably 1 to 30% by mass. If it is less than 1% by mass, there is a problem that the concentration of the product is finally too low and the cost of concentrating the product is high.

Abstract
Description
本願は、2010年8月31日に日本に出願された特願2010-193310号、2010年11月15日に日本に出願された特願2010-254441号、2010年12月9日に日本に出願された特願2010-274235号、2011年3月30日に日本に出願された特願2011-075772号、2011年5月13日に日本に出願された特願2011-107820号、2011年6月2日に日本に出願された特願2011-123976号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
植物系バイオマス中の多糖類から発酵基質となる単糖や小糖類を製造する方法は2つに大別できる。一つは鉱酸を用いて加水分解する酸糖化法であり、もう一つは酵素やその酵素を生産する微生物を用いて加水分解する酵素糖化法である。
そこで、酵素の回収率の改善を目的として界面活性剤を添加して処理する方法(特許文献1参照)などが提案されている。しかし、界面活性剤処理法でも、酵素の回収率が十分であるとはいえず、また、薬品添加による酵素の失活や、処理工程付加に伴うコストアップ及び後の発酵段階における微生物への悪影響などが懸念されることなどから実用的ではない。
この方法では、残渣の蓄積は避けられないので反応効率が低下することが懸念される。また、CBH(セロビオハイドラーゼ)等、CBDを有する酵素に関してはリグノセルロース残渣を次回分で再処理することで酵素の循環利用が可能であるが、β-グルコシダーゼ等は上清中に遊離している場合もあるので、添加したセルラーゼの全てを循環利用することは困難である。
また、この方法では未分解残渣自体は再度酵素溶液と混合しても分解されにくい状態になっているため未分解残渣を糖化し易い状態にすることが課題である。本発明者らは固液分離により回収した未分解残渣を機械処理し再度、糖化発酵することによりエタノール生産量が高まることを見出した(特許文献9)。しかし、この方法で原料として用いた残渣は420メッシュ(38μm)のスクリーンで回収された残渣で幅広いサイズの繊維が含まれているという問題がある。リグニンが多く吸着したサイズの大きい繊維は酵素で分解されにくいため前処理(機械的処理等)を施さないと充分に糖化されない。もし、リグニン吸着量の少ない小さいサイズの繊維のみを選択的に回収し原料として前処理を施さず、再度、酵素糖化することができれば効率の良いエタノール生産量の向上が期待できる。
本発明は、上記知見に基づきなされたものであり、以下の態様を有する。
(1)酵素糖化反応に適した原料とする前処理が施されているリグノセルロース系原料を水溶性塩類よりなる電解質と共にセルロース糖化酵素含有水中に添加し、電気伝導度を5~25mS/cmに調整した原料懸濁液として酵素糖化反応により酵素糖化処理し、酵素糖化処理後の処理懸濁液から反応生成物と酵素含有液を分離回収し、回収した酵素含有液を前記酵素糖化処理工程用の酵素として循環することを特徴とするリグノセルロース系原料の酵素糖化処理方法。
<リグノセルロース系原料>
本発明の方法で原料として使用するリグノセルロース系原料としては、木質系として、製紙用樹木、林地残材、間伐材等のチップ又は樹皮、製材工場等から発生する鋸屑又はおがくず、街路樹の剪定枝葉、建築廃材等が挙げられ、草本系としてケナフ、稲藁、麦わら、バガスなどの農産廃棄物、油用作物やゴム等の工芸作物の残渣及び廃棄物(例えばEFB:Eumpty Fruit Bunch)、草本系エネルギー作物のエリアンサス、ミスカンサスやネピアグラス等のリグノセルロース系バイオマスが挙げられる。また、本発明におけるリグノセルロース系原料としては、木材由来の紙、古紙、パルプ、パルプスラッジ等も利用可能である。
例えば、製紙原料用として一般に用いられるユーカリ(Eucalyptus)属又はアカシア(Acacia)属等の樹種の樹皮は、製紙原料用の製材工場やチップ工場等から安定して大量に入手可能であるため、特に好適に用いられる。
本発明の酵素糖化処理に適した原料とする前処理とは、前記リグノセルロース系原料に以下の前処理を行って、リグノセルロースを酵素糖化可能な状態とする処理である。
化学的処理、水熱処理、加圧熱水処理、二酸化炭素添加水熱処理、蒸煮処理、湿式粉砕処理、機械的磨砕処理又は破砕繊維化処理等の機械的処理、希硫酸処理、水蒸気爆砕処理、アンモニア爆砕処理、二酸化炭素爆砕処理、超音波照射処理、マイクロ波照射処理、電子線照射処理、γ線照射処理、超臨界処理、亜臨界処理、有機溶媒処理、相分離処理、木材腐朽菌処理、グリーン溶媒活性化処理、各種触媒処理、ラジカル反応処理、オゾン酸化処理。
これらの処理は、各単独処理もしくは複数を組み合わせた処理のいずれであってもよい。
中でも、上記リグノセルロース系バイオマスに対し、化学的処理、加圧熱水処理、破砕繊維化処理及び機械的磨砕処理から選択される1つ以上の前処理を行うことが好ましい。
化学的処理に使用する薬品等については特に限定されないが、例えば、アルカリ金属又はアルカリ土類金属の水酸化物、硫酸、希硫酸などの硫化物、炭酸塩、硫酸塩又は亜硫酸塩から1種以上選択されたものであり、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カルシウム、硫化ナトリウム、炭酸ナトリウム、炭酸カルシウム、亜硫酸ナトリウム等から選択された1種以上の薬品の水溶液に浸漬してなるアルカリ処理等が化学的処理として好適である。また、オゾン、二酸化塩素などの酸化剤による化学的処理も可能である。
化学的処理は、前記破砕繊維化処理や機械的磨砕処理等の機械的処理と組み合わせてそれらの前処理の後処理として行うことが好適である。
殺菌処理は、酸やアルカリなど、菌の生育困難なpHに原料を晒す方法でも良いが、高温下で処理する方法でも良く、両方を組み合わせても良い。酸、アルカリ処理後の原料については、中性付近、もしくは、糖化処理又は糖化発酵処理に適したpHに調整した後に原料として使用することが好ましい。また、高温殺菌した場合も、室温もしくは糖化発酵工程における処理に適した温度まで降温させてから原料として使用することが好ましい。このように、温度やpHを調整してから原料を送り出すことで好適pH、好適温度外に酵素が晒されて、失活することを防ぐことができる。
図1の工程に従った酵素糖化処理方法の場合、図1に「糖化」として示されている酵素糖化処理工程では、「前処理」として示されている前処理工程から供給されるリグノセルロース系原料と糖化酵素と電解質としての水溶性塩類を適量の水に添加して調製されている原料懸濁液が攪拌下に酵素糖化処理される。原料懸濁液中のリグノセルロース原料濃度は、1~30質量%であることが好ましい。1質量%未満であると、最終的に生産物の濃度が低すぎて生産物の濃縮のコストが高くなるという問題が発生する。また、30質量%を超えて高濃度となるにしたがって原料の攪拌が困難になり、生産性が低下するという問題が発生する。
pHは使用酵素が失活することのない3.5~10.0の範囲で選択されるが、3.5~7.5の範囲に維持することがより好ましい。
酵素糖化処理の温度は、酵素の至適温度の範囲内であれば特に制限はなく、一般的には25~50℃であり、30~40℃が好ましい。
また、酵素糖化反応方式としては、連続式が好ましいが、セミバッチ式、バッチ式でも良い。
反応時間は、酵素濃度によっても異なるが、バッチ式の場合は一般的には10~240時間であり、好ましくは15~160時間である。連続式の場合も、一般的な平均滞留時間は10~150時間であり、好ましくは15~100時間である。
各セルロース分解酵素は、夫々の活性を有する酵素を適宜の量で添加しても良いが、市販されているセルラーゼ製剤には、上記した各種のセルラーゼ活性を有すると同時に、ヘミセルラーゼ活性も有しているものが多いので市販のセルラーゼ製剤を用いても良い。
原料固形分100質量部に対するセルラーゼ製剤の使用量は、0.5~100質量部が好ましく、1~50質量部が特に好ましい。
酵素糖化処理工程において、電解質を原料懸濁液に添加し原料懸濁液の電気伝導度を5~25mS/cmの範囲に維持することが好ましい。電気伝導度を5~25mS/cmの範囲に維持することによりリグノセルロース原料の未反応成分や反応残渣等への酵素の吸着が抑制されるため、酵素糖化処理工程内における酵素の循環率が長期にわたって高い水準に維持することができる。酵素糖化処理工程内において、操作上、電解質を添加することが可能な工程であれば、いずれの工程においても制限なく電解質を添加することができる。一次糖化発酵工程内で添加することが操作が容易なため望ましい。
「糖化工程」を出た処理懸濁液は、図1中に「固液分離」として示されている濾過装置を有する固液分離工程に送られて固体残渣が除かれる。固液分離工程で濾過装置により分離された固体残渣はリグニン、ヘミセルロース、セルロースを含んでいるが、セルロースはリグニン等により保護されている状態で、それ以上の糖化は促進できない状態にあるので通常は工程外に排出される。
また、一次併行糖化発酵工程を出た培養液は、固液分離工程へ移送され、液体分(濾液)と残渣(一次残渣)に分離される。固液分離を行う装置としてスクリーンサイズが1.0 ~ 2.0mmのスクリュープレスを用いる。スクリュープレスは構造的に繊維による目詰まりが発生しにくく比較的少ないエネルギーで効率よく固液分離できる装置である。固液分離効率を向上させるために背圧をかけても良い。
固液分離工程で分離された残渣にはリグニン、ヘミセルロース、セルロースが含まれており、セルロースにリグニン等が吸着しており、酵素による糖化が困難な状態となっている。固液分離工程後の残渣は一次併行糖化発酵工程で分解されなかった繊維分を多く含み、機械的処理や化学的処理を施すことにより糖化が容易となる(特許文献6)。
固液分離工程で分離された濾液(液体分)は、次の篩い処理工程へ移送される。
固液分離工程で固体残渣を除かれた液体留分は、ついで、「遠心分離」として示されている遠心分離工程に送られて固体分離工程から出る液体留分に随伴されている残留残渣が除去され、図1中に「膜分離」として示されている糖液と酵素液の回収工程に送られる。
また、蒸留残液は、遠心分離工程へ移送され残留している残渣(二次残渣)を遠心分離によって除去した後、液体留分は一次併行糖化発酵工程に循環される(図3参照)。この液体留分には酵素が含まれており、一次併行糖化発酵工程で再利用される。一方、残渣には、リグニンが含まれており燃焼原料として回収しエネルギーとして利用することもできるし、リグニンを回収し有効利用することもできる。
遠心分離工程で残留残渣が除かれた液体留分は酵素と生成糖類を含有する液体留分であり、図1に「膜分離」として示されている膜分離工程で酵素含有液と糖含有液とに分離され、酵素含有液は「回収酵素」として示されている酵素液貯槽に送られ、そこから酵素源として循環される。糖類含有液はそのまま製品として取り出される。
糖類含有液には6炭糖、5炭糖等の単糖類のみならず、オリゴ糖類も含まれているので、単糖類を製造することが目的である場合は、オリゴ糖類を分離して「糖化工程」に供給し、さらに酵素処理して単糖類に分解することもできる。
図2において、前処理工程で酵素糖化処理に適した状態に処理されたリグノセルロース系原料は、電解質としての水溶性塩類、セルロース分解酵素、アルコール酵母等の発酵用微生物と共に適量の水に添加され、電気伝導度が所定の値に調整された原料懸濁液として併行糖化発酵工程において酵素糖化反応によるセルロースの糖化処理と、生成糖類を発酵基質とするアルコール発酵等の発酵処理とが併行して行われる。
図3において、前処理工程で糖化発酵処理に適した状態に処理されたリグノセルロース系原料は酵素により糖化(セルロース→グルコース)され、次に酵母により発酵(グルコース→エタノール)される。
微生物は固定化しておいてもよい。微生物を固定化しておくと、次工程に微生物を回収するという工程を省くことができるか、少なくとも回収工程にかかる負担を軽減することができるし、微生物をロスするリスクを軽減することもできる。また、微生物を固定化するほどでのメリットはないが、凝集性のある微生物を選択することにより微生物の回収を容易にすることができる。
蒸留後の蒸留残液中に残る発酵生成物濃度は0.1質量%以下であることが好ましい。このような濃度とすることによって、後段の遠心分離工程において残留残渣とともに排出される発酵生成物量を低減することができ、収率を向上させることができる。
この酵素と糖類とを含有する液体留分は、図2に「膜分離」として示されている膜分離工程に送られて酵素含有液と糖類含有液に分離され、酵素含有液は図2に「回収酵素」として示されている酵素液貯槽を経て「併行糖化発酵工程」に循環供給される。また、糖含有液は図2に「糖」として示されている糖液貯槽に集められ、糖製品とされる。
また、オリゴ糖類については、必要に応じて製品として回収しても良いし、図1の工程に従った酵素糖化処理法について述べたと同様に、併行糖化発酵工程で酵素により単糖類に分解するための原料として利用することもできる。
固液分離後の濾液を篩い処理を行い微細繊維と濾液(液体分)に分離する。篩い処理の方法としては、微細繊維を分離できる篩い処理装置であれば特に限定なく用いることができる。篩い処理装置としては、スクリーン、フィルタープレス等を用いることができる。篩いのメッシュ(網目)は80メッシュ~600メッシュ(28~182μm)が好ましく、150メッシュ~400メッシュ(39~97μm)がさらに好ましい。処理効率を向上させるために、篩いに振動装置をつけて振動を加えてもよい。以上の処理で分離された微細繊維は一次残渣や二次残渣と比較しリグニン含量が低く、酵素により糖化され易い。また、篩い処理で微細繊維を除くことにより後段の蒸留工程で用いる減圧蒸留装置内に付着する固形分量を軽減することができ装置の長時間の運転が可能となるというメリットがある。回収された微細繊維は、一次糖化発酵工程へ移送し糖化発酵の原料として用いても良い(図3参照)。また、回収された微細繊維を後述の二次糖化発酵工程(一次糖化発酵工程とは異なる糖化発酵工程)へ移送し糖化発酵の原料として用いることもできる(図4参照)。更には、別の工程で糖化のみを行っても良い。このように微細繊維を糖化または糖化発酵することにより、微細繊維に吸着している酵素を有効に利用できる。
一方、篩い処理で分離された濾液は蒸留工程へ移送される。
二次併行糖化発酵処理工程は一次併行糖化発酵処理工程とは独立した糖化発酵工程で、新しいリグノセルロースを原料として糖化発酵させることもできるし、工程内で排出された残渣を原料として糖化発酵させることもできる。また、一次併行糖化発酵工程でエタノールへ発酵されなかった糖を二次併行糖化発酵処理工程で発酵させることもできる。一次併行糖化発酵工程において、セルロースに由来する六炭糖、即ち、グルコース、マンノース、ガラクトース等がエタノール発酵されるが、ヘミセルロースに由来する五炭糖であるキシロースは未反応のまま残留するものもある。このような場合、二次併行糖化発酵処理工程で五炭糖をより確実に発酵する酵母を添加して五炭糖を発酵させることもできる。本発明では、前記篩い処理で回収された微細繊維を二次併行糖化発酵処理工程へ移送し糖化発酵させることができる。
篩い処理後の濾液、あるいは二次併行糖化発酵処理工程後の処理液(培養液)は蒸留工程へ移送される(図3、図4参照)。
蒸留工程では、減圧蒸留装置により発酵生成物が蒸留分離される。減圧下では低い温度で発酵生成物を分離できるため、酵素の失活を防ぐことができる。減圧蒸留装置としては、ロータリーエバポレーター、フラッシュエバポレーターなどを用いることができる。
