(20.87 g/L), the total fermentable sugar content of SCB after DES
pretreatment increased by approximately 237% and 211%, respec-
tively. This was attributed to the removal of most of the lignin after
DES pretreatment, which promoted the accessibility of enzymes
and released more sugar. SCB pretreated by ball milling could also
increase the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency and release more
fermentable sugars. This may be because after ball milling, the SCB
has become more refined and increased the specific surface area.
However, ball milling pretreatment cannot significantly increase
the content of fermentable sugars. It should be ascribed to the
presence of lignin inhibits the effective contact between the
enzyme and cellulose. According to the findings mentioned above
and comparison with the other existing pretreatment methods
listed in Table 3, DES pretreatment of SCB used in the current work
was an efficient and cost-effective pretreatment method.
The fermentation of enzymatic hydrolysates of raw and pre-
treated SCB using ball milling and DES were conducted for 36 h
with alcohol-fermentation active dry yeast. The SHF ethanol
growth and sugar consumption were shown in Fig. 5 (B). After the
fermentation, the maximum ethanol concentrations attained from
untreated, ball milling, and DES pretreated SCB were 7.22 g/L,
8.57 g/L, and 16.84 g/L, respectively. The cellulosic ethanol pro-
ductivity reached 0.30, 0.36, and 0.70 g L1 h1, respectively.
Furthermore, the ethanol yields of untreated, ball-milling and DES
pretreated SCB were 0.39, 0.40, and 0.42 g/g. At the late stage of
fermentation, the sugar concentration remains almost constant;
this is because some cellobiose was not used in the enzymatic
hydrolysate. In summary, although both DES pretreatment and ball
milling pretreatment can improve the ethanol production from
SCB, DES can significantly increase ethanol production, which is a
cost-effective method of biomass processing and utilization.
