Abstract:

Alkali lignin (AL) was modified by hydroxypropylationto obtain hydroxypropylated lignin (HL), and its effects on enzymatic hydrolysis and non-productive enzyme adsorption were further investigated. The results of Zeta potentials, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and hydrophobicity tests indicated that the surface charaoteristics of AL changed after hydroxypropylation. The surface negative charge increased and the surface elements distribution and chemical bonds composition changed greatly. The proportion of C—O and C—C═O bond increased, as well as the hydrophobicity decreased, resulting in the reducing of non-productive adsorption of cellulase onto HL, which significantly increased the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency. Compared with these of Avicel with AL, the free enzyme protein of Avicel with 4 g/L HL increased by 152 % and the 72 h hydrolysis yield of glucose increased by 32.09%.

Key words: alkali lignin, hydroxypropyl modification, surface properties, enzymatic hydrolysis
