Bioethanol

Description

InTech, 2012. 301 p. ISBN:9535100089, 9789535100089Biofuels is a highlight and the central theme of this book.The first section presents some research results for first generation ethanol production from starch and sugar raw materials. Chapters in the second section present results on some efforts around the world to develop an efficient technology for producing second-generation ethanol from different types of lignocellulosic materials. The chapter in the third section points to the use of hydrogen in fuel cells, where this hydrogen could be produced from ethanol.ContentsPrefaceFirst Generation Bioethanol Production (Starch and Sugar Raw-Materials)Cassava BioethanolSingle-Step Bioconversion of Unhydrolyzed Cassava Starch in the Production of Bioethanol and Its Value-Added ProductsSorghum as a Multifunctional Crop for the Production of Fuel Ethanol: Current Status and Future TrendsSimultaneous Production of Sugar and Ethanol from Sugarcane in China, the Development, Research and Prospect AspectsSecond Generation Bioethanol Production (Lignocellulosic Raw-Material)Hydrolysis of Lignocellulosic Biomass: Current Status of Processes and Technologies and Future PerspectivesSecond Generation Bioethanol from Lignocellulosics: Processing of Hardwood Sulphite Spent LiquorBioethanol Production from Steam Explosion Pretreated StrawTowards Increasing the Productivity of Lignocellulosic Bioethanol: Rational Strategies Fueled by ModelingConsolidated Bioprocessing Ethanol Production by Using a MushroomSSF Fermentation of Rape Straw and the Effects of Inhibitory Stress on YeastCompeting Plant Cell Wall Digestion Recalcitrance by Using Fungal Substrate - Adapted Enzyme CocktailsHeterologous Expression and Extracellular Secretion ofCellulases in Recombinant MicrobesBioethanol UseCatalytic Hydrogen Production from Bioethanol
