Biofuels are alternatives to fossil fuels for ensuring energy security and for mitigating climate change. Currently, most biofuels are in the form of a bioethanol that is generated from starch or sugar. Increasing energy demand, food insecurity and ecological concerns leads to evaluating agricultural, forestry and urban lignocellulosic wastes as being very important for energy production. This is...
This study was aimed at determining the optimum yield of bioethanol (as biofuel and industrial chemical) from yam, potato, watermelon and pineapple peels using different concentrations of hydrochloric acid (HCl). Results obtained from acid hydrolysis, fermentation and distillation revealed that yam peel gave the highest quantity of glucose (38.7±0.90%) and ethanol (18.40±0.18%) at an acid concentration...
