Abstract:

Taking 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethyl phosphate ([Emim]DEP) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Emim]Ac) as research targets, the influence of the two ionic liquids (IL) on the process of enzymatic degradation of cellulose was investigated. By using ultrasound to assist ionic liquids in dissolving cellulose, [Emim]DEP and [Emim]Ac made the crystallinity of cellulose decrease to 53.6% and 62.3% respectively. In the process of enzymatic degradation of regenerated cellulose, when the dosage of IL was less than 2.0%, IL acted as promoter, and when the dosage of IL was 0.5%, the promoting effect of IL was the strongest. Enzymatic hydrolysis rate increased by 11.4% and 17.5% respectively. Under the optimal conditions (add in 0.5% IL), the enzyme activities of every enzyme in the cellulose system were measured. Ionic liquids had an obvious promoting effect on β-glucosidase, increasing enzyme activity by 120% and 87% respectively. Ionic liquids reduced inhibition of exoglucanase by cellubiose, and improved efficiency of enzymatic degradation of cellulose.

Key words: ionic liquids, cellulose, cellulase, dissolution, degradation

摘要：

以1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑磷酸二乙酯([Emim]DEP)、1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑醋酸([Emim]Ac)为研究对象, 考察两种离子液体(IL)对酶法降解纤维素过程的影响。采用超声辅助离子液体溶解纤维素, [Emim]DEP和[Emim]Ac分别使纤维素的结晶度降为53.6%和62.3%。在纤维素酶降解再生纤维素的过程中, 当IL的加入量小于2.0%时, 对酶解过程起促进作用, 其中加入量为0.5%时, 促进作用最强, 酶解率分别提高了11.4%和17.5%。在最优条件下(加入0.5%IL), 测量纤维素酶系中各个酶的酶活, 结果表明离子液体对β-葡萄糖苷酶起到了明显的促进作用, 分别使该酶酶活提高了120%和87%。离子液体降低了纤维二糖对葡聚糖外切酶的抑制作用, 提高了酶解效率。
