Abstract
Among the steps for the conversion of biomass into bioenergy, there is enzymatic hydrolysis. However, factors such as composition, formation of inhibitors, inhibition and enzymatic deactivation can affect the yield and productivity of this process. Lignocellulosic biomass is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. However, lignin is organized in a complex and non-uniform way, promotes biomass recalcitrance, which repress the enzymatic attack on cellulose to be converted into glucose, and, consequently, the production of biofuel. Thus, a challenge in enzymatic hydrolysis is to model the reaction behavior. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the performance in enzymatic hydrolysis for the conversion of cellulose present in sugarcane bagasse into glucose. Therefore, modeling and optimization will be proposed to produce high glucose concentration rates. Therefore, a previously developed study will be used, in which the authors proposed a kinetic model for the hydrolysis step. However, as a differential to what has been proposed, the calculation will be carried out evaluating the evaporation, in order to maximize the response to the glucose concentration. Thus, considering evaporation and optimized kinetic parameters, it was possible to obtain high rates of glucose concentration at 204.23 $g.L^{-1.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomasses have a complex and compact structure, requiring physical and/or chemical pretreatments to produce glucose before hydrolysis. Mathematical modeling of enzymatic hydrolysis highlights the interactions between cellulases and cellulose, evaluating the factors contributing to reactor scale-up and conversion rates. Furthermore, this study evaluated the influence of two pretreatments (hydrothermal and organosolv) on the kinetics of enzymatic hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse. The kinetic parameters of the model were estimated using the Pikaia genetic algorithm with data from the experimental profiles of cellulose, cellobiose, glucose, and xylose. The model considered the phenomenon of non-productive adsorption of cellulase on lignin and inhibition of cellulase by xylose. Moreover, it included the behavior of cellulase adsorption on the substrate throughout hydrolysis and kinetic equations for obtaining xylose from xylanase-catalyzed hydrolysis of xylan. The model for both pretreatments was experimentally validated with bagasse concentration at 10% w/v. The Plackett-Burman design identified 17 kinetic parameters as significant in the behavior of process variables. In this way, the modeling and parameter estimation methodology obtained a good fit from the experimental data and a more comprehensive model.

Abstract
Rice husks contain cellulose as a raw material for manufacturing second-generation bioethanol. Cellulose from pre-treated rice husks was converted into reducing sugars through enzymatic hydrolysis using enzymes derived from Aspergillus niger. This study aims to determine the kinetics of enzymatic hydrolysis at enzyme concentrations of 10, 15, and 20% (v/w) and hydrolysis times of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 h. The results showed that cellulose was hydrolyzed to form reducing sugars. The CMCase activity and FPase activity reached 548.940 and 314.892 U mL−1, respectively, much higher than most previous reports on this genus. From the calculation of the reaction rate using the Michaelis–Menten kinetic model, the value of the Michaelis constant ranges from 0.001 to 0.0007, and the maximum rate is 1.3 × 10−7 to 2.7 × 10−7 Mol L−1 s−1. The highest reducing sugar concentration was obtained (1.80 g L−1) at an enzyme concentration of 20% (v/w) and a hydrolysis time of 25 h.

Abstract
Abstract
Enzymes as industrial biocatalysts offer numerous advantages over traditional chemical processes resulting on improvements in process economy and environmental sustainability. Because enzymes are extensively used in different industrial areas, the enzyme kinetics is an important factor for industry as it is able to estimate the extent of substrate conversion under known conditions and evaluate reactor performance. Furthermore, kinetic modelling is useful in the analysis, prediction, and optimization of an enzymatic process. Thus, kinetic modelling is a powerful tool for biochemical reaction engineering. In addition to the aforementioned, in the industrial technology, modelling together with simulation play a key role because they help to understand how a system behaves under specific conditions, and thus they allow saving on costs and lead times. Enzymatic conversion of renewable cellulosic biomass into biofuels is at the heart of advanced bioethanol production. In the production of bioethanol from cellulosic biomass, enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to fermentable sugars accounts for a large portion (∼30%) of the total production costs. Therefore, a thorough understanding of enzymatic hydrolysis is necessary to create a robust model which helps designing optimal conditions and economical system. Nevertheless, it is a challenging task because cellulose is a highly complex substrate and its enzymatic hydrolysis is heterogeneous in nature, and thus the whole process of cellulose conversion to glucose involves more steps than classical enzyme kinetics. This chapter describes the bases of enzyme kinetic modelling, focussing on Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and presents the models classification based on the fundamental approach and methodology used. Furthermore, the modelling of cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis is described, also reviewing some model examples developed for cellulose hydrolysis over the years. Finally, the application of enzyme kinetics modelling in food, pharmaceutical and bioethanol industry is presented.

Abstract
The enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass incorporates many physico-chemical phenomena, in a heterogeneous and complex media. In order to make the modeling task feasible, many simplifications must be assumed. Hence, different simplified models, such as Michaelis-Menten and Langmuir-based ones, have been used to describe batch processes. However, these simple models have difficulties in predicting fed-batch operations with different feeding policies. To overcome this problem and avoid an increase in the complexity of the model by incorporating other phenomenological terms, a Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy approach has been proposed, which manages a consortium of different simple models for this process. Pretreated sugar cane bagasse was used as biomass in this case study. The fuzzy rule combines two Michaelis-Menten-based models, each responsible for describing the reaction path for a distinct range of solids concentrations in the reactor. The fuzzy model improved fitting and increased prediction in a validation data set.

Abstract
A new approach is reported for techno-economic analysis of lignocellulosic ethanol production. With this methodology, general targets for key process variables can be draw, a valuable feedback for Research & Development teams. An integrated first- and second-generation ethanol from sugarcane biorefinery is presented as a case study for the methodology, with the biomass pretreated by liquid hot water, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose fraction. The hemicellulose fraction may be either fermented or biodigested. The methodology was able to identify the main variables that affect the process global economic performance: enzyme load in the cellulose hydrolysis reactor, cellulose-to-glucose, and xylose-to-ethanol yields. Windows of feasible operation are the graphical output of the methodology, outlining regions to be further explored experimentally. One example of quantitative result is that the maximum feasible enzyme load was 11.3 FPU/gcellulose when xylose is fermented to ethanol and 7.7 FPU/gcellulose when xylose is biodigested.

Abstract
The liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatments would be accelerated by the organic acids produced from the process. In the study, the organic acids included not only acetic acid but also lactic acid during LHW hydrolysis of reeds, at 180-220°C and for 15-135min. The lactic acid was presumably produced from xylose degradation in the pretreatment process. The different organic acids, such as acetic acid, lactic acid and acetic-lactic acids, were used to strengthen the LHW pretreatments for increasing xylose production. Moreover, the work presented kinetic models of xylose and hemicellulose at different conditions, considering the generation of lactic acid. The experimental and kinetic results both indicated that acetic-lactic acids had synergistic catalytic effect on the reaction, which could not only inhibit the degradation of xylose, but also promote the hydrolysis of hemicellulose. Besides, the highest concentration of xylose of 7.323g/L was obtained at 200°C, for 45min and with 1wt% acetic-lactic acids.

Abstract
Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) was employed in order to improve the efficiency of alkaline pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse (SCB). Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize pretreatment parameters: NaOH concentration (0.1-0.5M), solid/liquid ratio (S/L, 3-10%) and HC time (15-45min), in terms of glucan content, lignin removal and enzymatic digestibility. Under an optimal HC condition (0.48M of NaOH, 4.27% of S/L ratio and 44.48min), 52.1% of glucan content, 60.4% of lignin removal and 97.2% of enzymatic digestibility were achieved. Moreover, enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated SCB resulted in a yield 82% and 30% higher than the untreated and alkaline-treated controls, respectively. HC was found to be a potent and promising approach to pretreat lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
A packed bed flow-through column reactor (PBFTCR) was used for pretreatment and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse (SCB). Alkaline pretreatment was performed at 70 °C for 4h with fresh 0.3M NaOH solution or with liquor recycled from a previous pretreatment batch. Scheffersomyces stipitis NRRL-Y7124 was used for fermentation of sugars released after enzymatic hydrolysis (20 FPU g(-1) of dry SCB). The highest results for lignin removal were 61% and 52%, respectively, observed when using fresh NaOH or the first reuse of the liquor. About 50% of cellulosic and 57% of hemicellulosic fractions of pretreated SCBs were enzymatically hydrolyzed and the maximum ethanol production was 23.4 g L(-1) (ethanol yield of 0.4 gp gs(-1)), with near complete consumption of both pentoses and hexoses present in the hydrolysate during the fermentation. PBFTCR as a new alternative for SCB-biorefineries is presented, mainly considering its simple configuration and efficiency for operating with a high solid:liquid ratio.
