The efficiency of mechanical processing of sorghum and miscanthus biomass in the production of 2nd generation bioethanol
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2013, Vol 67, Issue 10
Abstract
The paper presents the studies on the efficiency of mechanical pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials i.e. sorghum and miscanthus for the production of 2nd generation of biofuels. The energy consumption required for fragmentation of sorghum and miscanthus biomass was measured; their fractions were evaluated by sieve analysis. Also enzymatic hydrolysis was tested and the sugar content was determined with the use of the Miller’s method. The results of the tests allowed for selection of efficient and economically viable method of pre-treatment of the sorghum and miscanthus biomass for the production of bioethanol.
