Power model for enzymatic hydrolysis of coconut coir with chemical pretreatment
Abstract:
Coconut coir, that contains cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and some other extractive
compounds, is classified as complex lignocellulosic material. Glucose from coconut coir can
be used as fermentation substrate after enzymatic hydrolysis. Lignin content from the coconut
coir will act as an inhibitor in this hydrolysis process. Therefore, a pretreatment process is
needed to enhance the hydrolysis of cellulose. It has been found out that; pretreatment
methods have significant impact on production efficiency of ethanol from biomass. Some of
the most promising pretreatment methods require the application of chemicals such as alkali,
acids, salts, oxidants, and solvents. In this research, chemical pretretment, i.e. dilute acid and
alkaline pretreatment were done prior to enzymatic hydrolisis of coconut coir. Previous study
observed that the the best pretreatment was at 1.5% sulfuric acid concentration and 100 ºC for
dilute acid pretreatment2 and 11% NaOH and 100 ºC for alkaline pretreatment.3 Here,
pretreatment was done at 121 ºC and 11% NaOH; and 105 ºC at 1.5% sulfuric acid. The
objective of this research is to compare the glucose as a product of hydrolysis for these two
types of chemical pretreatment. The kinetic parameters due to simple power model were then
obtained.
