Abstract
Thermal assisted alkaline pretreatment (TAAP) of rice husk (RH) was investigated to facilitate enzymatic saccharification by enhancing the enzyme accessibility to cellulosic components. Statistically guided experiments based on the Box-Behnken design involving four factors viz. biomass loading, particle size, NaOH loading and reaction time was considered for optimization. The maximum sugar yield of 371 mg g−1 biomass was obtained at optimized pretreatment condition [biomass loading (10% w/w), particle size (0.25–0.625 mm), NaOH loading (2% w/w), and reaction time (40 min)]. The TAAP of RH resulted in the efficient removal of lignin (14.9–54% (w/w)) with low hemicellulose solubilization [10.7–33.1% (w/w)] and with a simultaneous increase in cellulose concentration [32.65–51.65% (w/w)]. The SEM analysis indicated increased porosity and biomass disruption during TAAP. The FTIR analysis showed progressive removal of noncellulosic constituents, and XRD analysis revealed an increase in cellulose crystallinity post-TAAP indicating the effectiveness of pretreatment.
