MADRID, LINA MARÍA e QUINTERO DIAZ, JUAN CARLOS. ETHANOL PRODUCTION FROM PAPER SLUDGE USING KLUYVEROMYCES MARXIANUS. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2011, vol.78, n.170, pp.185-191. ISSN 0012-7353.
Recycled paper sludge is a promising raw material for ethanol production. In this study, we first evaluated the effects of ethanol concentration, solids load, and cellulose crystallinity on the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to produce reducing sugars. We then evaluated the production of ethanol by either saccharification and simultaneous fermentation (SSF) or separated hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) using the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus ATCC 36907. We found that cellulose hydrolysis decreased as ethanol concentrations increased; at 40 g/L ethanol, the reducing sugar production was decreased by 79 %. Hydrolysis also decreased as solids load increased; at 9 % of solids, the cellulose conversion was 76 % of the stoichiometric production. The ethanol yield and cellulose conversion rate were higher with SSF as opposed to SHF processes at 72 h of treatment.
