Acid Pre-Treatment on Cellulose Compound as Sole Carbon Source for Ethanol Production

Abstract

In this study, the bioethanol production process used lignocellulosic biomass as its raw material. The significant of study in this project was how well bioethanol produced using cellulose as a carbon source. The strong bonds of lignocellulosic in cellulose chain due to the lignin presence make it very difficult to breakdown into simplest sugars. Whatman qualitative filter paper, which was made from raw materials that be sources of fermentable sugar, was used in these projects.
