DEVELOPMENT OF ENHANCED PRE-TREATED BIOREFINERY REACTOR FORSUGAR PRODUCTION USING SUGAR CANE

Abstract

This study presents the development and evaluation of an innovative pretreated biorefinery reactor designed to enhance the hydrolysis process for sugar production from sugarcane. Addressing the challenges posed by the lignocellulosic structure of sugarcane, the reactor incorporates novel pretreatment techniques to facilitate the efficient breakdown of cellulose and hemicellulose into fermentable sugars. Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in sugar yield compared to conventional extraction methods, underscoring the reactor's potential to streamline biofuel production processes. The findings contribute to the advancement of sustainable bioenergy solutions, offering a promising approach to meet the growing demand for renewable energy sources.
