Modified Fractionation Process via Organic Solvents for Wheat Straw and Ground Nut Shells

[摘要] Modified organic solvent fractionation process involves the degradation of lignin, which is the main barrier of lignocelluloses biomass and the other two elements are cellulose and hemicelluloses. The treatment of organic solvent is given at a different concentration ratio, i.e. varies according to 10 ml mixture of ethyl alcohol and water, acetone and water is made for ground nut shells and wheat straw residues at elevated temperature and pressure conditions. Resulting in the decomposition of lignin and hemicelluloses hydrolysis and remaining solid residues mainly contains cellulose, which is further undergoing for enzymatic or microbial fermentation. The main aim of the study is to produce biodiesel in an efficient way by following the treatment of organic solvents. The present approach depends totally on the type of organic solvent and effect of process condition is highlighted that is useful for fractionation of lignocelluloses biomass. Statistical analysis is done to show the significant and non-significant values as well as standard deviation and standard errors are discussed here in this paper.
