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 …

Optimization of Sulphuric Acid Hydrolysis Process for Fermentable Sugars from Lignocellulosic Content of Wood Sawdust for Production of Cellulosic Ethanol
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the optimization of acid hydrolysis process for fermentable sugars from the lignocellulosic content of wood sawdust for cellulosic ethanol production. In this study, four process parameters were investigated; acid concentration (3-7%), solid fraction (8-12ml/gm), temperature (100-120oC) and time (90-150minutes). The total reducing sugar content of hydrolyzed solutions was analyzed using Phenol-Sulfuric Acid method. The result of the statically analysis 2mm particle size …

Analytical Examination on the Characterization of Wood Materials for Biohydrogen Production
Abstract: Investigation was carried out with the aim to characterized some of wood materials obtained in Rivers State of Nigeria. The wood samples considered are Agba, Mahogany and Ako, in which the obtained result demonstrates variation in the ultimate composition as well as relative hydrogen gas produced with the action of anaerobic organisms, especially, for the fermented process. The production of the biohydrogen gas from each of the wood material sampled …

Enzymes used in Alcohol Fermentation
Abstract: Fermentation is the process that uses enzymes to cause chemical reactions in biomass feedstocks. In biochemistry, it is defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. The science of fermentation is known as zymology. Cellular respiration is the process in which a carbohydrate, like starch or sugar, is converted into an alcohol or an enzyme by an organism. Fermentation is a process in which yeast …
