P-229 製紙工場を活用するバイオエタノール生産 : ノースカロライナ州立大学におけるプロジェクト紹介と日本における可能性(ポスター発表)

抄録

Department of Wood & Paper Science, North Carolina State University (NCSU) is carrying out an exciting project on "Wood to Ethanol". The project is aiming at converting an old paper mill to "bioethanol mill" by introducing some facilities required for the production of bioethanol. Produced pulp is enzymatically hydrolysed to glucose and then fermented to ethanol. The conversions of enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation are temporarily hypothesized as 0.9 and 0.9, respectively. The process simulation would be better considering the relationship between lignin content in the pulp and the yield of glucose. Waste pulp from used papers can be a good resource for bioethanol in Japan.
