Effective pretreatment is vital to improve the biomass conversion efficiency, which often requires the addition of xylanase as an accessory enzyme to enhance enzymatic saccharification of corn stover. In this study, we investigated the effect of two sophisticated pretreatment methods including ammonium sulfite (AS) and steam explosion (SE) on the xylanase profits involved in enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover. We further explored the interactions between lignin and xylanase Xyn10A protein. Our results showed that the conversion rates of glucan and xylan in corn stover by AS pretreatment were higher by Xyn10A supplementation than that by SE pretreatment. Compared with the lignin from SE pretreated corn stover, the lignin from AS pretreated corn stover had a lower Xyn10A initial adsorption velocity (13.56 vs. 10.89 mg g−1 min−1) and adsorption capacity (49.46 vs. 27.42 mg g−1 of lignin) and weakened binding strength (310.6 vs. 215.9 L g−1). Our study demonstrated the low absolute zeta potential and strong hydrophilicity of the lignin may partly account for relative weak interaction between xylanase protein and lignin from AS pretreated corn stover. In conclusion, our results suggested that AS pretreatment weakened the inhibition of lignin to enzyme, promoted the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover, and decreased the cost of enzyme in bioconversion.

In this work, the influence of temperature on textural, morphological, and crystalline characterization of bio-adsorbents produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of corn stover was systematically investigated. HTC was conducted at 175, 200, 225, and 250 °C, 240 min, heating rate of 2.0 °C/min, and biomass-to-H2O proportion of 1:10, using a reactor of 18.927 L. The textural, morphological, crystalline, and elemental characterization of hydro-chars was analyzed by TG/DTG/DTA, SEM, EDX, XRD, BET, and elemental analysis. With increasing process temperature, the carbon content increased and that of oxygen and hydrogen diminished, as indicated by elemental analysis (C, N, H, and S). TG/DTG analysis showed that higher temperatures favor the thermal stability of hydro-chars. The hydro-char obtained at 250 °C presented the highest thermal stability. SEM images of hydro-chars obtained at 175 and 200 °C indicated a rigid and well-organized fiber structure, demonstrating that temperature had almost no effect on the biomass structure. On the other hand, SEM images of hydro-chars obtained at 225 and 250 °C indicated that hydro-char structure consists of agglomerated micro-spheres and heterogeneous structures with nonuniform geometry (fragmentation), indicating that cellulose and hemi-cellulose were decomposed. EDX analysis showed that carbon content of hydro-chars increases and that of oxygen diminish, as process temperature increases. The diffractograms (XRD) identified the occurrence of peaks of higher intensity of graphite (C) as the temperature increased, as well as a decrease of peaks intensity for crystalline cellulose, demonstrating that higher temperatures favor the formation of crystalline-phase graphite (C). The BET analysis showed 4.35 m2/g surface area, pore volume of 0.0186 cm3/g, and average pore width of 17.08 μm. The solid phase product (bio-adsorbent) obtained by hydrothermal processing of corn stover at 250 °C, 240 min, and biomass/H2O proportion of 1:10, was activated chemically with 2.0 M NaOH and 2.0 M HCl solutions to investigate the adsorption of CH3COOH. The influence of initial acetic acid concentrations (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 mg/mL) was investigated. The kinetics of adsorption were investigated at different times (30, 60, 120, 240, 480, and 960 s). The adsorption isotherms showed that chemically activated hydro-chars were able to recover acetic acid from aqueous solutions. In addition, activation of hydro-char with NaOH was more effective than that with HCl.
