The enhancement of lignocellulose hydrolysis using enzyme complexes requires an efficient pretreatment process to obtain susceptible conditions for the enzyme attack. This study focuses on removing a major part of the lignin layer from kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) while simultaneously maintaining most of the hemicellulose. A two-stage pretreatment process is adopted using calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)(2), and peracetic acid, PPA, to break the recalcitrant lignin layer from other structural polysaccharides. An experimental screening of several pretreatment chemicals, concentrations, temperatures and solid-liquid ratios enabled the production of an optimally designed pretreatment process for kenaf. Our results showed that the pretreatment process has provide 59.25% lignin removal while maintaining 87.72% and 96.17% hemicellulose and cellulose, respectively, using 1 g of Ca(OH)(2)/L and a 8:1 (mL:g) ratio of liquid-Ca(OH)(2) at 50 degrees C for 1.5 h followed by 20% peracetic acid pretreatment at 75 degrees C for 2 h. These results validate this mild approach for aiding future enzymatic hydrolysis. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
