The invention relates to a novel process for jointly degrading and saccharifying
crop straw by means of thermo-
chemical treatment and
enzymatic hydrolysis. The novel process includes steps of 1), mixing the smashed
crop straw and soak liquid with each other according to a
solid-to-
liquid ratio of 1g:9-13ml to obtain mixtures, then carrying out heat-insulation treatment on the mixtures at the temperature of 70-90 DEG C for 6-18h, adding
hydrogen peroxide into the mixtures after the heat-insulation treatment is completed, keeping the mixtures at the temperature of 50 DEG C for 6-18h, and fetching and
drying the mixtures; 2), transferring the
straw obtained in the step 1) into
distilled water, adding straw with 20-60 FPU / g of
cellulase and straw with 300-600U / g of
xylanase into the straw, regulating the pH (potential of
hydrogen) of the straw until the pH reaches 4-5, then carrying out
enzymatic hydrolysis by the aid of shaking tables at the temperature of 45-50 DEG C for 24-48h, treating the straw at the temperature of 100 DEG C for 30min after
enzymatic hydrolysis is completed so as to terminate enzymatic
hydrolysis reaction and
drying and smashing enzymatic
hydrolysis products. The volume of the
hydrogen peroxide is 3% of that of the soak liquid. The soak liquid is a
lime supernatant with
sodium hydroxide, the
sodium hydroxide accounts for 2% of the weight of the
crop straw, and
lime accounts for 5-15% of the weight of the crop straw. The novel process has the
advantage that the degradation rate of the straw and the reduced
sugar yield (442.85mg / g) of the straw can be obviously increased.
