Much agricultural waste is being produced in Iran and the combination of such waste can turn it into a good source for the production of bio-ethanol. Thus, in this study, the amount of bioethanol extracted from melon waste was measured and evaluated. To do so, considering the 15 kg capacity of the device's fermenter, 12 kg of refined melon sugar syrup and three kilograms of water (with the standard ratio of 4 to 1), i.e. a total of 15 kg of substrate with the brix degree of 20, as well as 75 gr of saccharomyces cervisiae yeast, cultured in standard conditions (5 grams of... |
