Abstract

Feedstock selection is a key factor affecting the process of cellulosic ethanol production. Densifying lignocellulosic biomass with chemicals (calcium hydroxide) followed by regular steam autoclave (DLCA(ch)) is an emerging and efficient pretreatment technology. In this study, different crop straws were selected as feedstock in a DLCA(ch) based process for cellulosic ethanol production, and their experimental and economic performances were evaluated. Both single crop straws and mixed crop straws were used and compared as feedstock for DLCA(ch) based biorefinery. Among single crop straws of corn stover, rice straw and wheat straw, wheat straw had the highest ethanol yield and the lowest feedstock cost, with a minimum ethanol selling price of 2.03 $/gal ethanol considering a 10 % internal rate of return and a 2000 tons crop straw per day biorefinery scale. When mixed crop straws were used as the feedstock, both feedstock cost and ethanol production cost were further reduced, and the minimum ethanol selling price was reduced to 2.02 $/gal ethanol. In addition, the use of mixed crop straws has great potential for large scale DLCA(ch) based process for cellulosic ethanol production.
