Ethanol Production from Waste of Cassava Processing

Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation of Cassava Waste for Ethanol Production

Bio-ethanol production from wet coffee processing waste in Ethiopia

Large amounts of coffee residues are generated from coffee processing plants in Ethiopia. These residues are toxic and possess serious environmental problems following the direct discharge into the nearby water bodies which cause serious environmental and health problems. This study was aimed to quantify wet coffee processing waste and estimate its bio-ethanol production. The study showed that ...

Economic Evaluation of the Production Ethanol from Cassava Roots

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prospective production of ethanol from cassava in Indonesia. The study was conducted in two parameters, engineering perspectives and economic evaluation that involves several economic parameters (e.g. gross profit margin, internal rate return, payback period, cumulative net present value, breakeven point, and profitability index on sales to investme...

Processing Optimization of Production of Hydrolyzed Protein from Orange Seed Waste with Pepsin Enzyme

Background and Objectives: The results of observations and studies over the years have shown that health and nutrition are highly related with each other. Bioactive peptides are defined as hydrolyzed proteins, which have the ability to stimulate the desired activities. In this study, the effect of adding pepsin enzyme on orange seed protein was investigated to obtain the hydrolyzed protein, and...

Combustion of Solid Waste from Wood-Based Ethanol Production

The solid residue from wood-based ethanol production has a low ash content and high heating value, making it interesting for combustion applications, e.g. small-scale appliances and gas turbines. Combustion and gasification properties have been studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Char combustion rate data obtained could be used in combustion s...
