Abstract

Recently, due to depletion of fossil derived energy stock in the world, there are growing interests in utilizing biomass as sources of bioethanol. There are basically two types of biomass that are usually used or converted to ethanol, starchy and lignocellulosic biomass. The conversion of starchy and lignocellulosic materials are widely explored, however, there are still some drawbacks, such as high enzyme cost and intensive energy needed. Therefore, lower cost as well as energy and time efficient process technology in biomass conversion to ethanol is important in enhancing the use of biomass to substitute fossil fuel. Microwave heating offers some advantages to overcome these drawbacks, especially due to its quick heat transfer and its heating selectivity. In conventional heating the heat was transferred through conduction or convection process which took longer time. Thus, by using microwave, degradation of starchy and lignocellulosic biomass could be completed in shorter time than by using conventional heating method. The roles of microwave heating in the degradation of biomass, especially starchy and lignocellulosic biomass and its relation to the hydrolysis and pretreatment of that particular biomass for ethanol production are reviewed and discussed.

Abstract

Glycerol is a renewable resource found as the main by-product in the transesterification of triglycerides and fat saponification. Due to the increased production of plant oils, especially palm oil in developing countries, and their larger use by the oleochemical industry, glycerol surpluses are on the world market and this may result in a decrease in glycerol price. As a consequence, biotechnological processes have been developed to convert this substrate into value-added products, such as 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD). The microbial production of 1,3-PD could be competitive to chemical routes assuming that it is based on cheap raw material and an optimised process. In the screening for 1,3 PD–producing bacteria, raw glycerol as by-product from rapeseed oil processing unit was used as a carbon source compared with commercial glycerol. By using increasing concentration of both glycerols from 50 to 150 g/l, two potential bacteria were obtained from soil samples. BMP-1 was obtained from an enrichment culture using 50 g/l commercial glycerol, while BMR-1 was obtained from an enrichment culture using 100 g/l raw glycerol. The highest conversion yield obtained using the isolate BMP-1 was around 0.62 g 1,3-PD formed per mol glycerol consumed, and 0.73 mol 1,3-PD formed per mol glycerol using the isolate BMR-1. No bacteria were obtained from cultures using 150 g/l commercial and raw glycerol, respectively, which indicated that higher concentration of glycerol has inhibition effect.
