  Bio-ethanol Production and Heavy Metal Lead (Pb) Removal Using Macro Algae Wolffia

  By MD Tanwar, BB Suvarna

  Abstract: This study was aimed to evaluate the potential of using macro algae Wolffia for bio-ethanol production and for heavy metal Lead (Pb) biosorption. Macro algae Wolffia was collected locally from a pond. Pretreatment was given by using 1 and 10% sulphuric acid (H2SO4) to different batches of Wolffia. Fehling’s test was performed to check the presence of sugar. For the fermentation step Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain was used. Yield obtained using …
