Development of a Process for Bioethanol Production using Eastern Redcedar
项目名称: Development of a Process for Bioethanol Production using Eastern Redcedar
摘要: Eastern Redcedar is quickly spreading over the Central Plains and destroying grasslands. Ethanol production from redcedar has the potential to utilize much of the redcedar cleared during grassland restoration. Redcedar ethanol production is expected to reduce costs of redcedar removal, thus increasing the availability of land for pasture and crop production, including bioenergy crops. As such, the objectives of this project are to: 1) Determine if steam explosion can be used to pretreat redcedar to produce ethanol. 2) Assess the quality of the oil recovered from steam explosion. The expected outcomes of this project are information on process parameters and potential product yields that will guide future research and process design and an assessment of the quality of oil produced.
