One of them is the ethanol production process using renewable resources. One of these renewable resources is Sugar Beet Pulp (SBP) as a renewable, available and inexpensive raw material with high sugar content for ethanol fermentation. The process of converting biomass to ethanol consists mainly of three stages: pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. In this study, ethanol production from SBP was achieved through three steps: acid treatment, enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose content in treated SBP into fermentable sugar and fermentation of fermentable sugar to ethanol. The weight of dried SBP after acid treatment was 34% of the original dried SBP. Two cellulase commercial enzymes named SternEnzymeC21032 and Cellic C Tec2 were used for hydrolysis of cellulose content in 10 and 15% solid load of the treated SBP. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains CY3079 and AH15 were used for the fermentation of the reduced sugar. The highest ethanol yields by S. cerevisiae CY3079 and AH15 were 5.61 and 5.58% of reduced sugar in hydrolyzed SBP with a 15% solid load. According to the results reported in this study, each ton of dried SBP gives 100 kg of ethanol. However, this level is relatively low, and more experiments are still needed to increase the productivity of this bioprocess.","PeriodicalId":11564,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Sugar Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85090223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The changes in soil properties and nutrient contents due to prolonged treated sewage water irrigation were also studied compared to non-irrigated soils on the subsurface layers. The results indicate that most of the soil samples in El Cola and El Deir area - Sohag governorate have a sandy texture. soil pH values of the studied area varied between 7.1 and 8.23 In most cases, pH of the surface layers was lower than that of the subsurface ones, especially for those irrigated by sewage water for a long time (20, 19, 29 and 21 years). The ECe values of the soils (El Cola and El Deir) ranged from 0.7 to 1.4 ds/m with an average value of 1.1 dS/m. Most of the cultivated soil samples had low salinity (ECe < 4dS/m). In most of the sewage water irrigated soils, the surface layers showed higher ECe values than the subsurface ones due to the salt accumulation of this sewage water. Moreover, soil organic matter content tended to decrease with depth and soil prolonged irrigated with sewage water increased the soil organic matter compared to the short time irrigated soil. In general, the results also showed that increases in the total N, available phosphorus and available K of all studied soils irrigated with sewage water occurred compared to those of the non-irrigated soil. The soils irrigated with sewage water for a long time were higher than those under short-term use. A positive significant correlation between nutrients (total N and available K) and soil organic matter was found and it suggests that sewage irrigation helps to increase levels of soil organic matter and hence improve the fertility status of the soil.,Regarding to heavy metals, the soil contents of all investigated heavy metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Pb and Ni) are lower than their corresponding values of the common range, background and average concentrations for world soils. However, in term of contamination factor (CF), the soil samples have CF values ranged from 1 to 48 in El-Cola and from 0.6 to 19 in El-Deir, indicating the pollution levels are in the range of low or moderate to very high levels Among all metals, Pb showed the highest values of CF (48 mg per kg).","PeriodicalId":11564,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Sugar Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77144114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sugar beet pulp (SBP) is used as renewable and cheap raw material for ethanol production. SBP is the by-product of the sugar industry from sugar beet that is used as animal feed after processing (pressing, dehydration, and pelletizing). Ethanol from SBP will be more profitable value than the other uses as animal feed.The two highest cellulases producer isolates S11 and S88 from the previous work were subjected to DNA identification using the 16S rRNA gene. 16S rRNA is tool used to identify the origin, classification, evolutionary and relationship history. The isolates S11 ( Streptomyces sp. strain FDZH12) and S88 ( Streptococcus mitis strain FDZH16) had been submitted to EMBL and their accession numbers are OK033363 and OK033364, respectively. Cellulase gene from S11 Streptomyces FDZH12 then cloned into E.coli to produce superior strain for cellulases production.The recombinant E. coli was confirmed by colony PCR using gene-specific primers of cellulases. Ethanol production from SBP is achieved through three steps: first, acid-base treatment for SBP and then the resulting cellulose content hydrolyzed to fermentable sugar using genetically engineered E.coli cloned by cellulases enzyme. Finally, the fermentable sugar is fermented to ethanol using S.cereviciae FDZH2O The weight of dried SBP after acid-base treatment was 45.5 % of the original dried SBP. Cellulose contents of untreated SBP were 27.95 % and reached 84.22 % after acid-base treatment (842.2g/kg). The maximum yields of glucose by the recombinant E.coli after 24 hours of saccharification of treated SBP were 28.36 g/50 g of acid base treated SBP (67.52% of their cellulose content). _______________________________________ Each 100 ml saccharified solution has 5.672 g glucose. After fermentation, each 100 ml saccharified solution has 2.83 ethanol (0.5008 g/g sugar 98% of the theoretical value).

As the inevitability of exhaustion of fossil fuels is becoming increasingly intensive, efforts are exerted to find and use substitutes for energy. Bioethanol is one of the most substitute renewable fuels contributing to the reduction of the global warming effect and negative environmental impact. Bioethanol production generally utilizes derivatives from food crops such as corn grain and sugarcane. In Egypt, sugarcane molasses is mainly used as feedstock for bioethanol production. However, molasses contains a concentration of heavy metals. Heavy metals are presented in high concentrations in the fermentation medium causing a critical problem during fermentation. This study focuses on reducing heavy metals content in molasses to improve bioethanol fermentation using heating, centrifugation, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid. Heating and centrifugation were sufficient to decrease Ca with less effect on other metals. Sulfuric acid reduced heavy metals content and the reduction addition of phosphoric acid had less effect on lowering the levels of heavy metals in molasses. Pretreatment of molasses with 0.3% H2SO4 decreased the contents of various inhibitory metals: Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn making molasses healthier for fermentation by yeast strains and increasing subsequent ethanol yield as well as high fermentation efficiency.","PeriodicalId":11564,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Sugar Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76168451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
