Nanoyeast Supported on Silica Gel for The Continuous Flow Bioethanol Production
Abstract: Nanomaterials outperform their bulk counterparts. Yet, production of nanomaterials, especially, nanoyeast is a challenge and is an upcoming field. Yeast is a fungal strain that consumes carbohydrates (glucose, sucrose, molasses and the like) and produces bioethanol, a potential transportation fuel. Impregnation methods are well known in catalysis to yield nanomaterials via better dispersion. An attempt has been made to modulate the size of yeast to increase the efficiency of carbohydrate …

Production, Estimation and Protein Network Studies of Bioethanol Fermented Media from Maduca Longifolia Produced by Surface Fermentation using Candida Albicans
Abstract: Candida albicans is a fungus that is used as industrially important species in fermentation productions from past several decades. In the present experimentation, Madhuca longifolia dried flowers with Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively are used as cultures and was analyzed for bioethanol production. Bioethanol produced in M. longifolia+yeast with about 40% was more compared with other samples. M. longifolia+ Pseudomonas showed 20% ethanol, M. longifolia+ candida 14% …

An Insight into the Production of Bioethanol from the Duckweed
Abstract: The ultimate goal of this study was provided an insight into the production of bioethanol from the duckweed. In this study three experimental parameters for maximizing bioethanol yield were investigated during the dilute acid hydrolysis; acid concentration (0.6-1M), temperature (80-120oC) and time (60-180minutes). The conversion of duckweed to bioethanol can be achieved mainly by four process step; the first step was pretreatment of duckweed to remove different contaminates, dried at …

An insight into the production of bioethanol from the unused Ethiopian waste potatoes
Abstract: The study provides an insight into the production of bioethanol from the unused Ethiopian waste potatoes. A pretreatment process was carried out to convert the potato starch into fermentable sugar through acid hydrolysis. The experimental parameters investigated during the hydrolysis were the temperature, liquid-solid ratio, and treatment time. Optimal values for hydrolysis were determined by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using Central Composite Design (CCD). The total reduced sugar content …

Production of Cellulosic Biofuel by using Different Pretreatment Process
Abstract: The production of Biofuels is increased by 20% since 2017. Cellulosic biomass is natural and abundantly available material for biofuel production in India. The major source of Biofuel is lignocellulosic waste and the most non-feeding productive crop is cotton in India. Bioethanol production can be achieved using the cotton stalk as raw material because cotton stalk contains a high amount of cellulose (>50%). Among the all process pretreatment process is …

Production and Characterisation of Bio-ethanol from Sweet Sorghum Juice
Abstract: Sweet sorghum stalks obtained from local market in Zamfara State were evaluated for bioethanol production. The process is considered to be economically feasible considering the percentage yield of sweet sorghum juice obtained from the stalks which was eventually converted to bio-ethanol through fermentation and distillation. The bio-ethanol obtained in the process was analyzed and the properties are compared with the standard specifications set by Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON). Most …

Feasibility Study of Mahua (Madhuca Indica) Fruit Pulp as a Feedstock for Bio-Alcohol Industry
Abstract: AbstractFor a developing nation like India, adequate sources of energy are basic requirement. As fossil fuels are depleting day by day, the necessity of renewable energy sources is increasing rapidly. Apart from that, burning of fossil fuels is polluting our environment drastically and increasing the threat of global warming. Thus, there is a need to adopt a cleaner and renewable source of energy. Among the different sources of energy, bioalcohol …

Optimization of Operational Parameters for Production of Bio-ethanol from Red Gram Straw
Abstract: AbstractBio-alcohol is a neat and cleaner source of energy, which could be obtained from locally available biomass. However, the complex structure of lignocellulose in biomass makes a primary protective barrier that prevents cell destruction. In order to break down this structure for the conversion of biomass to fuel ethanol, the cellulose and hemicellulosic materials must be broken down to corresponding monomers (sugars). It could be done easily with acid hydrolysis …
