Ethanol production from cellulosic cassava waste

Pretreatment of Cellulosic Waste Materials for Ethanol Production

Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation of Cassava Waste for Ethanol Production

Cellulosic Ethanol Production from Sugarcane Bagasse without Enzymatic Saccharification

Sugarcane processing generates a large volume of bagasse. Disposal of bagasse is critical for both agricultural profitability and environmental protection. Sugarcane bagasse is a renewable resource that can be used to produce ethanol and many other value-added products. In this study, we demonstrate that cane processed bagasse could be used to produce fuel grade ethanol without saccharification...

Challenges of Cellulosic Ethanol Production from Xylose-extracted Corncob Residues

Xylose-extracted corncob residue (X-ER), a byproduct from the xylose production industry, is a potential cellulose-rich energy resource. However, attempts to achieve large-scale production of cellulosic ethanol using X-ER have been unsatisfactory due to a lack of understanding of the substrate. This study presents the first characterization of the X-ER to evaluate its potential utilization in t...

The Potential of Cellulosic Ethanol Production from Grasses in Thailand

The grasses in Thailand were analyzed for the potentiality as the alternative energy crops for cellulosic ethanol production by biological process. The average percentage composition of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in the samples of 18 types of grasses from various provinces was determined as 31.85-38.51, 31.13-42.61, and 3.10-5.64, respectively. The samples were initially pretreated wi...
