Optimization of Biofuel Synthesis Using Lignocellulosic Material Incorporating Pervaporation Technology
In present study sugarcane bagasse was used for production of bioethanol. In enzymatic hydrolysis, ―trichoderma ressi‖&―aspergillus‖ were used. Trichoderma ressi found relatively effective offering conversion up to 14% glucose in two days compared to three days for aspergillus. Fermentation carried out under optimized conditions with, S. cerevisiae produced 11.6% of ethanol. Considering the limitations of azeotropic mixture, pervaporation was used for the purification of ethanol. Hydrophobic Poly Tetra FluroEthylene (PTFE) was used for pervaporation. The study demonstrated membrane technology as promising, highly selective, cost&energy saving technology.
