RESUMO

In this work the performance of the pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse with high solids concentration using alkaline hydrogen peroxide was evaluated. The objective was to increase the solids concentration in the pretreatment in relation to previous work (RABELO, 2007; GARCIA, 2009). Initially, a 23 factorial design was performed to evaluate the influence of temperature (°C) and alkaline hydrogen peroxide concentration (% v / v) in the pretreatment, as well as of the cellulase concentration (FPU / g pulp) used in the hydrolysis, in the concentration of glucose obtained after enzymatic hydrolysis. This design resulted in a linear model that was used to determine the maximum slope direction by following the procedure described in BARROS NETO et al. (2001). Further experiments were performed to identify the optimal region and, finally, a central composite design was performed around this region to determine the pretreatment conditions that result in maximum concentration of glucose after hydrolysis (0.4014 g glucose / g of raw bagasse) when the pre-treatment was conducted at 15% solids and the hydrolysis with 3% solids. This corresponds to a 95.38% glucose yield, obtained by performing pretreatment for 1 hour at 65 °C using 8% (v/v) of hydrogen peroxide at pH 11.5. Hydrolysis was conducted using 15 FPU cellulase/g bagasse and 25 CBU ?-glucosidase/g bagasse. Glucose concentration of 0.3846 ± 0.0014 g glucose/g of raw bagasse, corresponding to a 90.87 ± 0.33% glucose yield, was obtained by performing pretreatment at 55 °C with 7% v/v of alkaline hydrogen peroxide at the same concentration of solids and pre-treatment time and considering the same hydrolysis conditions. This concentration corresponds to 0.47 mL peroxide/g bagasse or 0.69 g peroxide/g bagasse, much lower than the concentrations used in previous studies, that were higher than 2 g peroxide/g bagasse.
