The invention discloses a method for producing
ethanol by carrying out high temperature enzymolysis and
fermentation on lignocellulose. The method for producing the
ethanol by carrying out the high temperature enzymolysis and
fermentation on the lignocellulose comprises the following steps: (1) pretreating a lignocellulose
raw material, so as to obtain a pretreated
raw material; (2) adding the pretreated
raw material,
cellulase, water and
xanthan gum into an enzymatic vessel for carrying out pre-enzymolysis, and controlling dry material concentration of an enzymolysis
system to be 15-25wt%; (3) pumping an enzymolyzed feed liquid into a
fermentation tank, adding temperature-resistant
saccharomyces cerevisiae, and carrying out simultaneous saccharification and fermentation; and (4) pumping fermentation liquor into a rectification device and separating
ethanol. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the
xanthan gum is added into the enzymolysis
system, high temperature tolerance of
cellulase is improved, activity of the
cellulase under high temperature enzymolysis condition is high, usage amount of the cellulase is reduced, enzymolysis efficiency of the lignocellulose is improved, and economy is improved.
