Ethanol production from sweet sorghum
(North-West University, 2012)The use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming and there is a consequent need to resort to clean and renewable fuels. The major concerns with using agricultural crops for the production of energy are food and water ... -
Fermentation coupled with pervaporation : a kinetic study
(North-West University, 2011)Ethanol production through biomass fermentation is one of the major technologies available to produce liquid fuel from renewable energy sources. A major problem associated with the production of ethanol through fermentation ... -
Optimization of maize starch fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae using pervaporation
(North-West University, 2010)Due to the depletion of petroleum reserves and environmental concerns, bioethanol has been identified as an alternative fuel to petrol. Bioethanol is a fuel of bio-origin derived from renewable biomass. Starch and sugar ... -
Production of ethanol from tropical sugar beet
(North-West University, 2010)The concern over depleting fossil fuel resources and increasing greenhouse gas emissions has prompted the research into alternative and renewable energy resources. Bioethanol is seen as a potential alternative to petroleum ...
