Abstract
- Biomass captures CO2 from the atmosphere when growing. In the same time, approximately 1,4 Gt of available renewable biomass is annually wasted while cereal straw wastes contribute to that with 66%. Huge portion of residues is still burnt, while it is the source of bioactives, fermentable sugars and only natural aromatic polymer-lignin. The main obstacle for valorization of biomass is the recalcitrant nature of dominantly present lignocellulose and variability in biomass composition which decreases already modest efficiency of acid/alkaline thermal treatment conventionally used in biorefineries. Conventional treatments have low selectivity, generate inhibitory compounds for enzymes or microorganisms used in biorefineries and have high environmental footprint. Cold plasma treatment (CPT) can induce modifications of cellulosic and hemicellulosic fraction as well as oxidation and depolymerisation of lignin, but CPT lacks selectivity in complex substrates such as agri-food wastes. We combined CPT with Fenton reagent or hydrogen peroxide for treatment of corn stalks as significant lignocellulose agri-industrial waste in Serbia. Chemical properties of treated samples were analysed by FTIR, while carbohydrate fraction was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis followed by spectrophotometric analysis. We showed that delignification with CPT can be efficiently combined with other oxidative treatments, including hydrogen peroxide and Fenton reagent, while preserving or even improving the enzymatic hydrolysis of carbohydrate fractions. Different chemical modifications were obtained depending on Fe/hydrogen peroxide ratio or hydrogen peroxide concentration, however, low energy CPT combined with other oxidative treatments significantly improves delignification and carbohydrate accessibility while decreasing overall processing time and energy consumption. Further studies have to evaluate oxidative treatments and CPT sources with different parameters for recovery of all fractions prese<br />Biljna biomasa vezuje CO2 iz atmosphere kada raste. U isto vreme, otprilike 1,4 Gt dostupne obnovljive biomase se godišnje baca, dok slama žitarica koja se smatra otpadom učestvuje sa oko 66% u toj količini. Veliki deo agroindustrijskog otpada se i dalje spaljuje, dok je istovremeno izvor bioaktivnih jedinjenja, fermentativnih šećera i jedinog prirodnog aromatičnog polimera –lignina. Osnovno ograničenje u valorizaciji biomase predstavlja rezistentnost lignoceluloze, dominantne frakcije u većini sporednih sirovina agroindustrijskog porekla, kao i varijabilnost sastava. Time se dodatno smanjuje i onako ogranična efikasnost kiselinskih/baznih termalnih tretmana koji se konvencionalno koriste u biorafinerijskim postupcima. Konvencionalni tretmani imaju malu selektivnost, u njima nastaju inhibitorni proizvodi za enzime i mikroorganizme koje se koriste u biorafinerijskim postupcima i imaju značajan uticaj na životnu sredinu. Tretman hladnom plazmom (THP) može izazvati modifikacije na celuloznoj i hemiceluloznoj frakciji, kao i oksidaciju i depolimerizaciju lignin, ali THP nedostaje selektivnost u kompleksnim supstratima kao što je agro-industrijski otpad. Mi smo kombinovali THP sa Fentonovim reagensom ili vodonik peroksidom u tretmanu kukuruznih stabljika kao značajnog izvora lignoceluloze agroindustrijskog porekla u Srbiji. Hemijska svojstva tretiranih uzoraka su analizirana FTIR-om, dok je ugljenohidratna frakcija bila podvrgnuta enzimskoj hidrolizi i analizirana spektrofotometrijskim metodama. Pokazali smo da delignifikacija THP može da se efikasno kombinuje sa vodonik peroksidom i Fentonovim reagensom tako da se očuva ugljenohidratna frakcija pogodna za enzimsku hidrolizu. Dobijene su razlike u hemijskim modifikacijama u zavisnosti od primenjenog odnosa Fe/vodonik peroksid ili koncentracije vodonik peroksida. Utvrđeno je da THP može biti kombinovan sa drugim naprednim oksidativnim procesima i značajno unaprediti delignifikaciju i dostupnost ugljenih hidrata, uz smanje
