In this paper the fuel ethanol production from empty fruit bunches was experimentally
evaluated using alkaline pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis for sugars release …

This study investigated the effectiveness of steam pretreatment using distilled water or waste
glycerol as solvents to produce soluble sugars via enzymatic hydrolysis of palm empty fruit …

Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass for use as an alternative energy
resource has attracted increasing interest, but short-term commercialization will require …

Abstract Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) was hydrolyzed in a one-stage hydrolysis
using dilute-sulfuric acid (0.2, 0.8%) at 170-230° C with a holding time of 5 and 15 min. The …

Increasing energy demand and concern about increased greenhouse gas emissions make
lignocellulosic biomass increasingly to be recognized as having great potential for biofuel …

In the present work, two pretreatment techniques using either dilute acid (H 2 SO 4) or dilute
alkali (NaOH) have been compared for producing bioethanol from Empty Fruit Bunches …

The major biomass byproduct from the palm oil industry is empty fruit bunches (EFBs). EFBs
have a great potency as basic raw materials used for the fermentative production because …

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB), a lignocellulosic residue of palm oil industries was
examined for ethanol production. Milled OPEFB exposed to simultaneous saccharification …

Lignocellulose into fuel ethanol is the most feasible conversion route strategy in terms of
sustainability. Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) generated from palm oil production is a huge …

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) were pretreated by aqueous ammonia soaking for
ethanol production. Pretreated EFB, which were pretreated at the optimal conditions of 60° …
