Abstract
A method for processing a lignocellulose material, comprises the following steps: (1) crushing and sieving the lignocellulose material, and collecting granules with a particle size of between 0.08 and 0.1 mm; (2) mixing the granules obtained in step (1) with water, and dispersing through a colloid mill to yield a suspension with a particle size of 40-80 μm; (3) homogenizing the suspension obtained in the step (2) under high pressure to have a particle size of between 10 and 40 μm; and (4) buffering the suspension obtained in the step (3) with a buffer solution of sodium acetate and acetic-acid, adding cellulase, β-glucosidase, and xylanase, and performing zymolysis for 36-72 hours.
