ABSTRACT
To maximize the sugar release from sugarcane bagasse, a high-resolution Fractional Factorial Design (FFD) was combined with a Central Composite Orthogonal (CCO) design to simultaneously evaluate a wide range of variables for alkaline pretreatment (NaOH 0.1-1 mol/L, temperature 100-220 °C, and time 20-80 min) and enzymatic saccharification (enzyme loading 2.5-17.5%, and reaction volume 550-850 µL). A total of 46 experimental conditions were evaluated and the maximum sugar yield (423 mg/g) was obtained after 18 h enzymatic hydrolysis under optimized conditions (0.25 mol/L NaOH at 202 °C for 40 min, with 12.5% of enzyme loading). Biomass compositional analyses showed that the pretreatments strongly removed lignin (up to 70%), silica (up to 80%) and promoted cellulose enrichment (25-110%). This robust design of experiments resulted in maximizing enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of sugarcane bagasse and further indicated that this combined approach is versatile for other lignocellulosic biomasses.
