본 연구에서는 백합나무의 아세틸기 제거를 위해 전처리 전에 수산화나트륨을 이용하여 탈아세틸화를 수행하였다. 0.8%의 수산화나트륨을 첨가하여 60 ℃에서 80분 동안 반응시켜 헤미셀룰로오스로부터 대부분의 아세틸기를 제거하였다. 탈아세틸화 처리된 바이오매스를 옥살산 전처리에 이용하였으며, 전처리된 바이오매스 투입량(10, 12.5, 15%) 및 효모 투입시간(0, 6, 12, 24시간)에 따라 동시당화발효 및 semi-동시당화발효를 수행하였다. 최대 에탄올 수율은 바이오매스 투입량 10%에서 효모를 당화시작과 동시에 첨가했을 때 120시간 후 26.73 g/L의 에탄올을 생산하였으며 이것은 88.14%의 에탄올 수율에 해당하였다. 바이오매스 투입량 12.5%와 15% 조건에서는 효모 투입시간 6시간 조건에서 각각 32.34 g/L, 27.15 g/L의 에탄올을 생산하였고, 이는 각각 85.58%와 59.87%의 에탄올 수율에 해당하였다. 옥살산 전처리 후 얻어진 액상 가수분해산물로부터 발효저해물질의 제거를 위해 수산화칼슘을 처리하였으며 발효 72시간 후 5.28 g/L의 최대 에탄올을 얻었다.

In order to remove acetyl group from yellow poplar, deacetylation was performed using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) prior to oxalic acid pretreatment. During the deacetylation (60 ℃ for 80 min, 0.8% NaOH), most of the acetyl group were removed from hemicellulose. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) and semi-SSF were carried out based on solid loading (10, 12.5, 15%) of deacetylated biomass and pre-hydrolysis with enzymes (0, 6, 12, 24 h). The highest ethanol was obtained as 26.73 g/L after 120 h when 10% of biomass was used for SSF. It is corresponding to 88.41% of theoretical ethanol yield. At the 12.5% and 15% of biomass loading, the highest ethanol was obtained from 6 h pre-hydrolysis. It was 32.34 g/L and 27.15 g/L, respectively, and corresponding to ethanol yield of 85.58 and 59.87%. In order to remove fermentation inhibitors from hydrolysates, overliming was performed using calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). The highest ethanol was 5.28 g/L after 72 h of fermentation.
