High-solids enzymatic hydrolysis is a promising technology for biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass. However, it may suffer from low efficiency in stirred-tank reactors due to poor mixing degree and enzyme deactivation by excessive shear rate. Inspired by the efficient mixing of viscous chyme and enzyme during intestinal motility, a biomimetic model with an enzyme secretion boundary was first proposed to explore the mixing enhancement mechanism. The dimensionless number Sem was established to characterize the secondary flow intensity. The results showed that increasing the segmentation amplitude to 66.7% improved Sem to 9.5 and the mixing level to 38.5%. Extension of the segmentation period resulted in the reduction of Sem, thus decreasing the mixing enhancement. The time-averaged mixing level was increased by 76.0% compared with the static tube at a substrate viscosity of 5.0 Pa·s. Furthermore, the shear strain rate was lower than 220.4 s-1, which was conducive to maintaining enzyme activity.

酶解的仿生混合增强的数值研究

高固含量酶解是一种很有前景的木质纤维素生化转化技术。然而,由于混合度差和剪切速率过大导致酶失活,在搅拌釜反应器中可能会出现效率低下的问题。受粘性食糜和酶在肠道运动过程中有效混合的启发,首先提出了一种具有酶分泌边界的仿生模型来探索混合增​​强机制。建立无量纲数Se m来表征二次流强度。结果表明,将分割幅度增加到 66.7% ,将Se m提高到 9.5,混合水平提高到 38.5%。分割周期的延长导致Se的减少m,从而降低混合增强。在底物粘度为 5.0 Pa·s 时,与静态管相比,时间平均混合水平提高了 76.0%。此外,剪切应变速率低于220.4 s -1,有利于维持酶活性。
