Abstract:

In order to explore the mechanism of the alkaline ionic liquids tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) in the pretreatment of eucalyptus, the response surface analysis method was used to design the model, and the optimal conditions[JP]for the pretreatment of eucalyptus with ionic liquid TBAH were pretreatment time 57.19 min, pretreatment[JP]temperature 71.98℃, and TBAH mass fraction 11.78%.The model was proved to be scientific accurate and practical.By comparing the composition[JP]of feedstock, NaOH, tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) and TBAH pretreated eucalyptus samples, Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were carried out for comparing the composition of feedstock with that of NaOH, tetrabutylammonium fluaride (TBAF) and TBAH pretreating eucalyptus samples, which aimed to analyze pretreatment reaction mechanism.The results showed that in the pretreatment, [TBA]+ could effectively degrade lignin and reduce the crystallinity; OH- could degrade hemicellulose.Under the combined action of[TBA]+ and OH-, the hemicellulose of eucalyptus samples was degraded from 26.8% to 18.0%, and the lignin was degraded from 26.3% to 15.0%;the crystallization index increased[JP]from 42.39% to 54.11%;and TBAH pretreatment would destroy the complete, dense and uniform structure of the surface of eucalyptus samples; TBAH pretreated eucalyptus wood sample was enzymatically hydrolyzed for 72 h, the yield of reducing sugar was 365.62 mg/g, and the conversion rate of cellulose was 69.24%.
