Abstract |
The fossil fuel-based economy is facing several problems and challenges, such as increasing emissions of CO2, decreasing reserves and increasing energy prices. In this background green biotechnology presents a promising approach to convert most of the solid agricultural wastes particularly lingo-cellulosic materials into liquid bio based energy-fuels. This paper presents study on successful production of Bio-ethanol from Sugarcane bagasse with Dilute Acid Concentration (1-5)% and time duration of (10-30)min. for. The results showed maximum yield of Bio-ethanol at Dilute Acid Concentration of 5% and at time duration of 20 min. |
