    Abstract:
    Pretreatment process plays a key role in biofuel production from lignocellulosic feedstocks. A study on dilute NaOH pretreatment supplemented with H2O2 under mild condition was conducted to overcome the recalcitrance of grass waste (GW). The optimized process could selectively increase lignin removal (73.2%), resulting in high overall recovery of holocellulose (73.8%) as well as high enzymolysis efficiency (83.5%) compared to H2O2 or NaOH pretreatment. The analyses by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed that supplementary H2O2 disrupted the structure of GW to facilitate the removal of lignin by NaOH, and exhibited synergistic effect on lignin removal and enzymolysis with dilute NaOH. Moreover, high titer of ethanol (100.7 g/L) was achieved by SSCF on 30% (w/v) pretreated GW loading. The present study suggests that the established synergistic pretreatment is a simple, efficient, and promising process for GW biorefinery.
