Title: Study on Alkaline Methanol Pretreatment- Strategy for Lipid Fermentation of Corn Stover
(碱性甲醇预处理玉米秸秆油脂发酵策略的研究)
Abstract:
Corn stover is a promising lignocellulosic biomass source for biofuel production due to its abundance and low cost. However, the recalcitrant nature of lignocellulosic biomass poses challenges for its efficient conversion into fermentable sugars and subsequent biofuel production. This study aims to investigate the impact of alkaline methanol pretreatment on the lipid fermentation of corn stover. The results show that alkaline methanol pretreatment effectively improves the accessibility of cellulose and hemicellulose, leading to enhanced lipid fermentation efficiency. This research provides valuable insights into the development of a sustainable and cost-effective strategy for lipid fermentation of corn stover.

1. Introduction
The depletion of fossil fuels and the environmental concerns associated with their usage have stimulated considerable research on the development of sustainable and renewable alternatives, such as biofuels. Lignocellulosic biomass, including corn stover, has attracted significant attention as a potential feedstock for biofuel production due to its abundance, cost-effectiveness, and potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the complex structure of lignocellulosic biomass, with its high content of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, makes its conversion into fermentable sugars challenging.
Corn Stover as a Feedstock
Corn stover is the agricultural residue left after the harvest of corn. It is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and other components. Corn stover is abundantly available, as it is produced in large quantities during corn cultivation. Utilizing corn stover as a feedstock for biofuel production can help mitigate the waste disposal problem and reduce the dependence on fossil fuels.
Challenges in Lignocellulosic Biomass Conversion
Efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars is crucial for biofuel production. The complex structure of lignocellulosic biomass presents several challenges, including:
Physical Barrier: Lignin, a complex aromatic polymer, forms a physical barrier surrounding the cellulose and hemicellulose, making them less accessible to enzymes.
Chemical Barrier: Lignin also undergoes chemical reactions during biomass processing, forming inhibitory compounds that hinder the activity of hydrolytic enzymes.
Structural Complexity: The complex structure of lignocellulosic biomass requires a multi-step pretreatment process to enhance the accessibility of cellulose and hemicellulose.
2. Alkaline Methanol Pretreatment
Alkaline methanol pretreatment is one of the most promising strategies for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment. This process involves the use of alkaline reagents, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and methanol under suitable conditions to disrupt the lignocellulosic structure, improving enzymatic digestibility and subsequent biofuel production.
Mechanism of Alkaline Methanol Pretreatment
During the alkaline methanol pretreatment, the following reactions occur:
Delignification: The alkaline reagent breaks the linkages between lignin and carbohydrates, releasing lignin from the biomass matrix.
Swelling: The alkaline reagent causes the biomass to swell, improving the accessibility of cellulose and hemicellulose to enzymes.
Hemicellulose Solubilization: The alkaline methanol solution solubilizes a significant portion of hemicellulose, facilitating its subsequent conversion into fermentable sugars.
3. Impact of Alkaline Methanol Pretreatment on Lipid Fermentation
Lipid fermentation is a potential pathway for the production of biodiesel, a renewable and environmentally friendly fuel. The use of lignocellulosic biomass as a substrate for lipid fermentation can help reduce the competition between food and fuel production.
Lipid Fermentation Process
Lipid fermentation involves the conversion of carbohydrates into lipids by oleaginous microorganisms such as yeast and fungi. These microorganisms accumulate lipids in their cell bodies and can be further processed to extract biodiesel.
Effect of Alkaline Methanol Pretreatment on Lipid Fermentation
Alkaline methanol pretreatment significantly improves the efficiency of lipid fermentation by enhancing the accessibility of sugars derived from corn stover. The pretreatment facilitates the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose into fermentable sugars, which are then converted into lipids by microorganisms.
4. Conclusion
This study highlights the potential of alkaline methanol pretreatment as an effective strategy for enhancing the lipid fermentation of corn stover. The pretreatment process improves the accessibility of cellulose and hemicellulose, leading to increased sugar availability for microorganisms during lipid fermentation. Implementing this pretreatment strategy can contribute to the development of a sustainable and cost-effective biofuel production pathway using lignocellulosic biomass. Further research is warranted to optimize the pretreatment conditions, explore different microorganisms for lipid fermentation, and evaluate the economic feasibility of scaling up the process.
