ABSTRACT First-generation ethanol (E1G) is based on the fermentation of sugars released from saccharine or starch sources, while second-generation ethanol (E2G) is focused on the fermentation of sugars released from lignocellulosic feedstocks. During the fractionation process to release sugars from hemicelluloses (mainly xylose), some inhibitor compounds are released hindering fermentation. Thus, the biggest challenge of using hemicellulosic hydrolysate is selecting strains and processes able to efficiently ferment xylose and tolerate inhibitors. With the aim of diluting inhibitors, sugarcane molasses (80% of sucrose content) can be mixed to hemicellulosic hydrolysate in an integrated E1G–E2G process. Cofermentations of xylose and sucrose were evaluated for the native xylose consumer Spathaspora passalidarum and a recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain. The industrial S. cerevisiae strain CAT-1 was modified to overexpress the XYL1, XYL2 and XKS1 genes and a mutant ([4–59Δ]HXT1) version of the low-affinity HXT1 permease, generating strain MP-C5H1. Although S. passalidarum showed better results for xylose fermentation, this yeast showed intracellular sucrose hydrolysis and low sucrose consumption in microaerobic conditions. Recombinant S. cerevisiae showed the best performance for cofermentation, and a batch strategy at high cell density in bioreactor achieved unprecedented results of ethanol yield, titer and volumetric productivity in E1G–E2G production process.

Abstract This work presents exergy analyses applied in four different conceptual second-generation ethanol production processes through a thermochemical route using catalysts based on Molybdenum (P-1), Copper (P-2), and Rhodium (P-3 and P-4), aiming to assess their exergetic efficiencies. The results show that the conceptual processes have satisfactory exergy efficiencies in both cases, when compared among themselves and when compared with other processes reported in literature. The processes’ efficiency for P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4 were, respectively, 52.4%, 41.4%, 43.7% and 48.9%. The reactors were the sections in which exergy destruction was more significant, due to the exothermic reactions and mixing points (where streams with different temperatures were mixed). Such results show the potential of thermochemical ethanol production, besides opening the possibilities of process improvement. Graphic abstract
