Abstract

Bioethanol is an alcohol molecule that is derived through the process of fermentation using microorganisms. Fermentation is a biological process in which microbes metabolize fermentable sugars as a source of nourishment, resulting in the production of ethyl alcohol and various other byproducts. These microbes commonly metabolize 6-carbon carbohydrates, with glucose being one of the most prevalent examples. Hence, biomass materials rich in glucose or glucose precursors are the most readily convertible to bioethanol. The examination of bioethanols employing Saccharomyces bayanus demonstrated notable disparities in the obtained alcohol concentration. The utilization of Saccharomyces bayanus yeast, in the absence of sugar supplementation, for the conversion of grape into bioethanol, yielded a modest alcohol concentration of merely 14%. In the context of bioethanol production, pineapple was utilized as a substrate, wherein 4 grams of Saccharomyces bayanus yeast and an additional 70 grams of sugar were introduced as a nutritional supply to support yeast growth and metabolism. The present fermentation procedure resulted in an alcohol concentration of around 21%.

Abstract

Bio-based waste materials perform an essential duty as valuable sources of components that can be effectively utilized as active phases in the synthesis of CaO catalysts for the generation of biodiesel. The abundance of shell Blood cockles is considerable. Additionally, Indonesia has a stockpile of used cooking oil. The utilized cooking oil has a notable concentration of fatty acids, presenting the potential for conversion into biodiesel. The technology of converting leftover cooking oil into biodiesel through transesterification has undergone significant advancements. An accelerator is necessary to boost the biodiesel yield to attain a sufficiently high yield. The CaO catalyst was selected due to its ability to expedite and boost biodiesel output. This study evaluated the blood clam shell's potential as a transesterification catalyst for used cooking oil. This study used temperature and concentration change variables for transesterification, with a settle variable of 60 minutes. The concentrations of the variables are 3 N, 4 N, 5 N, 6 N, and 7 N, whereas the temperatures are 45 ?C, 50 ?C, 55 ?C, 60 ?C, and 65 ?C. With varying transesterification times of 60 minutes, transesterification temperatures of 60°C and 65°C, and catalyst concentrations of 6N and 7N, the research findings indicate that utilizing this catalyst can boost biodiesel yield with conversion yields of 85%, 88%, and 95%. This demonstrates that temperature can also promote improving biodiesel production and that using catalysts can boost the conversion of biodiesel to over 90% or more.
