Abstract

In order to attain a higher ethanol yield and faster ethanol fermentation rate, orthogonal experiments of ethanol fermentation with immobilized yeast from stalk juice of sweet sorghum were carried out in the shaking flasks to investigate the effect of main factors, namely, fermentation temperature, agitation rate, particles stuffing rate and pH on ethanol yield and CO(2) weight loss rate. The range analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied for the results of orthogonal experiments. Results showed that the optimal condition for bioethanol fermentation should be A(4)B(3)C(3)D(4), namely, fermentation temperature, agitation rate, particles stuffing rate and pH were 37 degrees C, 200rpm, 25% and 5.0, respectively. The verification experiments were carried out in shaking flasks and 5L bioreactor at the corresponding parameters. The results of verification experiments in the shaking flasks showed that ethanol yield and CO(2) weight loss rate were 98.07% and 1.020gh(-1), respectively. The results of ethanol fermentation in the 5L bioreactor showed that ethanol yield and fermentation time were 93.24% and 11h, respectively. As a result, it could be concluded that the determined optimal condition A(4)B(3)C(3)D(4) was suitable and reasonable for the ethanol fermentation by immobilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The conclusion in the research would be beneficial for application of ethanol fermentation by immobilized S. cerevisiae from stalk juice of sweet sorghum.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
