Farklı Seyreltik Sodyum Hidroksit Ön İşlem Metotlarının Kargı Kamışı (Arundo donax L.) Bitkisinden Fermente Olabilir Şeker ve Etanol Üretimine Etkileri

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of five different dilute sodium hydroxide (NaOH) pretreatment methods (%1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 ve 3.0) on bioethanol production from giant reed. Pretreatments were performed in an autoclave at 121 °C for 30 min. Despite the highest reducing sugar yield were obtained from 2.5% NaOH pretreatment method, 1.0% NaOH pretreatment method achieved the highest theoretical ethanol yield. These results shows that 1.0% NaOH pretreatment method can be preferred primarily to achieve a sustainable bioethanol production from giant reed, among the pretreatment methods tested in the study.
