Abstract
Phenolic compounds are important inhibitors of the microorganisms used in the Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation. The degradation of phenolic compounds in a wood pre-hydrolysate, a potential substrate for the production of ABE, was studied in this article. First, physicochemical methods for detoxification such as nanofiltration and flocculation were applied and the best combination was selected. With a flocculated sample, the concentration of phenolic compounds decreases from 1.20 to 0.28 g/L with the addition of a solid laccase at optimum conditions, which is below the phenolic compounds limit of inhibition. This results in an increase in butanol production, more than double, compared to a pre-hydrolysate non-treated with laccase enzymes.
