Tiivistelmä
Based on the rising greenhouse gas emission, depletion of the fossil fuel, climatic challenges and the high price of the crude petroleum product, the need for sustainable biofuels that will help mitigate the toxic gas emission has become a global topic. The production and utilization of bioethanol as transport fuel will serve as an alternative to reduce the overdependence on fossil fuel and mitigate the climatic issues. Understanding the technique and operations of the pretreatment process will help to improve bioethanol production and will increase the yield so that it can be used in automobiles and as blend will to a greater extend reduce the toxic gas emission and help create a stable climatic condition.
This report reviews several bioethanol pretreatment types such as chemical, physicochemical and biological. The pretreatment methods that are discussed are acid, alkaline, organosolv, ammonia fibre explosion, steam explosion, liquid hot water and biological pretreatments. The report reviews how the different pretreatment methods separate the lignin component from the hemicellulose in order to produce the sugar contents readily accessible for enzyme hydrolysis.
