The crucial problems and recent advance on producing fuel alcohol by fermentation of straw

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: The utilization of wheat straw to produce fuel ethanol is an issue which complexity has been internationally acknowledged. The article has analyzed the reasons that limit the value-added conversion of straw considering the component inhomogeneity of straw. Furthermore, the crucial problems of straw to fuel alcohol were also analyzed. The research progress on these crucial problems are investigated, which includs the pretreatment of straw materials, the production of cellulase, the enzymatic hydrolysis of straws to fuel alcohol, and the industrial demonstration project of producing straw to fuel alcohol. The industrialization demonstration project of producing fuel alcohol by lignocellulosic biomass enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation laid a solid base for the large-scale, industrial and low-cost production of fuel alcohol from straw.
