A new process for the production of bioethanol from paper mill sludge (PMS) is described in this work. PMS biomass feedstock was processed via the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) with and without accelerants. The enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation were first evaluated, and the energy demand was 2.2 MJ/L of produced ethanol.
2024/4/26/ · A pioneering solution has been developed to convert cellulose fibre-rich waste from pulp and paper mill operations into ethanol using a specialised fermentation process. Ethanol is a versatile starting material that finds diverse application in the production of industrial chemicals, bio-based plastics and sustainable aviation fuel.
2015/9/1/ · Deashing of paper mill sludge improved the bioconversion to biofuels. • Addition of c-PAM and H 2 O 2 further improved the hydrolysis yields up to 16–25%. • Fermentation of deashed sludge reached the maximum ethanol yield of theoretical. • Higher ethanol productivities were achieved within 9 h of fermentation.
2019/1/1/ · The proposed research envisioned to improve the accessibility of organics and hydrolysis of paper mill waste activated sludge for polyhydroxybutyrate production and anaerobic digestion. In order to fill this research gap an exploration has been made by adding lower dosage of calcium peroxide at acidic pH for the removal of exopolymeric
2018/12/24/ · Due to the health and environment impacts of fossil fuels utilization, biofuels have been investigated as a potential alternative renewable source of energy. Bioethanol is currently the most produced biofuel, mainly of first generation, resulting in food-fuel competition. Second generation bioethanol is produced from lignocellulosic biomass, but a
2011/9/29/ · Background Ethanol production from paper sludge (PS) by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is considered to be the most appropriate way to process PS, as it contains negligible lignin. In this study, SSF was conducted using a cellulase produced from PS by the hypercellulase producer, Acremonium cellulolyticus C-1 for PS
2010/10/1/ · Two recombinant xylose‐fermenting microbes under optimal conditions achieved a 19% higher overall conversion of paper sludge to ethanol than the non‐xylose utilizing S. cerevisiae D5A at its optimal process temperature of 37°C. Simultaneous saccharification and co‐fermentation (SSCF) of waste paper sludge to ethanol was
2014/11/20/ · Paper mill sludge (PS), a solid waste from pulp and paper industry, was investigated as a feedstock for acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation
Paper mill sludge (PS), a solid waste from pulp and paper industry, was investigated as a feedstock for acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). ABE fermentation of paper sludge by Clostridium acetobutylicum required partial removal of ash in PS to enhance its enzymatic digestibility.
2024/4/19/ · Paper sludge (PS) from paper mills has a significant potential for bioethanol production. In this study, waste-paper-containing PS is used as the raw material for bioethanol production because the annual waste paper utilization rate has increased globally. Although PS does not require delignification, the antiseptics and deinking agents in waste

2020/4/1/ · A new process for the production of bioethanol from paper mill sludge (PMS) is described in this work. PMS biomass feedstock was processed via the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation
2014/11/15/ · Conclusions. Anaerobic digestion of pulp and paper mill waste at full-scale is currently confined to the treatment of a few selected types of effluent, and the resulting biogas is commonly burned to produce steam and electricity. Full-scale digesters for mill-derived sludges (biosolids) are almost non-existent.
2016/1/1/ · Chemical composition and enzymatic digestibility of de-ashed paper mill sludge. The chemical composition and enzymatic digestibility of unwashed and de-ashed paper mill sludges were determined (Table 1). Glucan (51.8%) and xylan (12.6%) were the two major organic components in the unwashed paper mill sludge. The ash content was as …
