Özet

The present study was aimed at examining the feasibility of using common reed for the production of bioethanol by means of biological and chemical pretreatments. The effectiveness of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), sodium borohydrate (NaBH4), boron oxide (B2O3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) for conversion of common reed to ethanol was investigated via chemical pretreatments. Fungal pretreatment (C. subvermispora) degraded the reed structure and 10 weeks of incubation time removed 11.3 and 14.0% of glucan and xylan from the structure, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that fungal pretreatment had a significant effect (p < 0.001) on lignin removal. The lignin loss of common reed was 9.16, 10.7 and 16.6% in 2, 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. Chemical pretreatments of NaOH, H2O2, NaBH4, B2O3, H2SO4 dissolved 7.66, 12.2, 4.50, 15.7 and 15.0% of glucan from the structure. The highest xylan dissolution (63.7%) was observed when common reed was pretreated with H2SO4. In addition, NaOH and NaBH4 pretreatments removed 55.8 and 52.0% of lignin, respectively.
