The production of ethanol from cassava Department:Science Technology By: chesco1 Project ID: 4999 Rating: (2.7) votes: 3 Price:₦3000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThis project involves discovering simple methods of producing ethanol from a selected cassava root using acid hydrolysis, fermentation and distillation and the uses of ethanol to the industries and its environment. The insight for the change to biomass as a source of fuel is due to the fact that petroleum which has become indispensable to our country Nigeria is no longer sustainable. This research investigated the feasibility of using cassava roots for energy production and the promising results revealed that at least a selected cassava roots following all the necessary procedures and precautions would yield 65 percent of ethanol. Thus, harvesting cassava for food and as well as ethanol production is deemed feasible. However, this system would require supportive policies to ensure a balance between food security and fuel. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
