Abstract:

Objective: The aim of this paper was to analyze structural characterization and component, thereby to promote the efficient conversion of lignocelluloses biomass to fuel ethanol.[ Method: Pinus, Cunninghamia lanceolata and Fraxinus mandschurica were used as experimental materials, pretreated by sodium ethoxide(C2H5ONa)system under the condition of 121℃ and by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)and X-ray diffraction(XRD)to analyze chemistry components, structure properties and thermal stability.[ Result: The experimental results showed that the contents of cellulose, xylan and lignin all changed, to a different extent, in the three kinds of pretreatment materials, those were, the contents of cellulose and xylan both increased, whereas the lignin content decreased slightly. The cellulose content of the pretreated C.lanceolata showed a largest increment of 48.1%, average increased by 8.1%, and orderly followed by Pinus and F. mandschurica. From the lignin removal effects perspective, the pretreatments effect of Pinus were better, and the lignin content was decreased by 6.1%. From the experimental results, the conclusion could be obtained that softwood in sodium ethoxide pretreatment system reflected a better effect. In addition, the changed X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra of the reaction of LOI(crystallinity index)and HBI(hydrogen bond strength index)indicated a changed crystal of pretreatment materials, which suggested that pretreatment can increase the relative crystallinity.[ Conclusion: Enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency was studied by different changes of enzyme dosage and time. The experimental result further verified the result of C. lanceolata > Pinus > F. mandschurica, which might provide a theoretical foundation for energy conversion of woody biomass.
