Ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials is often conceived considering independent, stand-alone plants; in the Brazilian scenario, where part of potential feedstock (sugarcane bagasse) for second generation ethanol already available at conventional first plants, an integrated and process seems to be most obvious option. In this study surplus sugarcane bagasse trash compared with generation; simulations were developed represent different technological scenarios, which provided data...
Much of the controversy surrounding second generation ethanol production arises from assumed competition with first production; however, in Brazil, where bioethanol is produced sugarcane, sugarcane bagasse and trash will be used as feedstock for production. Thus, may primarily electricity lignocellulosic fraction sugarcane. A preliminary technical economic analysis integrated Brazil presented different technological scenarios are evaluated. The showed importance use including biomass...
The techno-economics of greenfield projects a first-generation sugarcane biorefinery aimed to produce ethanol, sugar, power, and n-butanol was conducted taking into account different butanol fermentation technologies (regular microorganism mutant strain with improved yield) market scenarios (chemicals automotive fuel). complete the batch acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) process simulated using Aspen Plus®. designed 2 million tonne per year utilize 25%, 50%, 25% available juice butanol,...
This paper presents the techno-economics of greenfield projects an integrated first and second-generation sugarcane biorefinery in which pentose sugars obtained from biomass are used either for biogas (consumed internally power boiler) or n-butanol production via ABE batch fermentation process. The complete was simulated using Aspen Plus®. Although pentoses stream available gives room a relatively small biobutanol plant (7.1-12 thousand tonnes per year), introduction butanol acetone to...
Efficient conversion of biomass into energy resources remains one the biggest challenges faced by humanity in search for a sustainable future. Bioethanol, most important biofuel, currently produced from first generation feedstock like sugarcane may also be lignocellulosic materials bagasse and straw, which are not primary food source. technologies production (or second generation) ethanol, however, still under development, concerning its technical, economic environmental feasibility remain...
