Bioethanol Production Using By-product of VPP (Value Prior to Pulping)

VPP (Value Prior to Pulping) 부산물을 이용한 바이오에탄올 생산

In this study, we evaluated optimal conditions for ethanol production of the spruce hydrolysate (SH) obtained from diethyl oxalate pretreatment. Fermentable sugar concentration in SH was 29.04 g/${\ell}$ except arabinose. Monosaccharides obtained from the oligomer degradation were mainly mannose (39.26 g/${\ell}$) and galactose (12.83 g/${\ell}$). Concentration of 5-HMF and furfural which are inhibitors on ethanol fermentation were 0.09 g/${\ell}$ and 0.04 g/${\ell}$ respectively. Concentration of acetic acid and total phenolic compounds in SH were 1.4 g/${\ell}$ and 2.83 g/${\ell}$. Ethanol production using hydrolysate was 11.7 g/${\ell}$ at optimal pH 6.0 after 48 h. Specific ethanol production was 0.15 (g/(${\ell}^*h$)) at pH 5.0 and 5.5. while that was 0.24 (g/(${\ell}^*h$)) at pH 6.0. Specific ethanol production has difference depend on initial pH for fermentation. Ethanol production was 14.3 g/${\ell}$ after 48 h when xylanase 20 IU was added in SH for degradation of oligomer during fermentation. It implied that ethanol production increased by 22.2% compare with control (without xylanase).

본 연구는 diethyl oxalate 처리로부터 얻어진 가문비나무 가수분해산물을 이용하여 에탄올 생산에 적합한 조건을 탐색하였다. 가문비나무 가수분해산물의 단당류 분석 결과 아라비노오스를 제외한 발효가능한 당 농도 는 29.04 g/${\ell}$이었으며 가수분해산물에 포함된 올리고머로부터 분해된 단당은 대부분 만노오스(39.26 g/${\ell}$)와 갈락토오스(12.83 g/${\ell}$)가 차지하였다. 발효저해물질인 5-HMF, furfural의 농도는 각각 0.09 g/${\ell}$, 0.04 g/${\ell}$, acetic acid는 1.4 g/${\ell}$, total phenolic compounds는 2.83 g/${\ell}$로 나타났다. 가수분해산물을 이용한 에탄올 생산 최적 pH는 6.0으로 발효 48시간 후 11.7 g/${\ell}$의 에탄올을 생산하였다. 시간당 에탄올 생산량은 pH 5.0와 5.5에서 0.15 (g/(${\ell}^*h$))로 나타났으며 pH 6.0에서는 0.24 (g/(${\ell}^*h$))로 나타났다. 시간당 생성된 에탄올 생산량은 에탄올 발효 초기 pH에 따라 차이를 나타냈다. 가수분해산물에 xylanase 20 IU를 첨가하여 올리고머를 분해한 후 발효를 실시한 결과 48시간 후 14.3 g/${\ell}$의 에탄올을 생산하였다. 이것은 xylanase를 첨가하지 않았을 때 보다 에탄올 생산량이 22.2% 증가되었음을 나타내고 있다.
