5 Evaluation of Enzymatic Hydrolysis Process of Sugarcane Bagasse OBJECTIVES Evaluate the conditions of steam explosion of sugarcane bagasse to improve the susceptibility to enzymes Evaluate the conditions of delignification of sugarcane bagasse with NaOH or H 2 O 2 that increase its susceptibility to enzymes Kinetic study of enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated bagasse: substrate/cellulase ratio, agitation, influence of delignification on pretreated bagasse.

6 Steam Explosion Pretreatment In Natura Bagasse (Characterization) Steam Explosion Pretreatment 180 C for 5, 15, 30 and 50 minutes 195 C for 3, 6, 9, 15, 20 and 30 minutes 210 C for 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 minutes Hemicellulosic Hydrolysed (Characterization) Pretreated Bagasse (Characterization) Enzymatic Hydrolysis Standard condition with commercial enzimes complexes. Tests with xylanase suplementation. Delignification Pretreatment Standard condition with NaOH. Lignin solubilization was evaluated. Pretreated and Delignified Bagasse (Characterization) Glucose yield
