| Popis: |
The search for cleaner and more sustainable alternative energy sources, such as the use of agricultural waste to produce fuel, has been the focus of different research with promising results. Brazil stands out as one of the largest tropical fruit producers in the world, generating large amounts of agro-industrial waste, which are, in most cases, disposed of as waste without reuse. In the present study the use of the waste generated by the fruit consumption in the production of bioethanol was evaluated. The fruit biomass was subjected to alcoholic fermentation, followed by fractional distillation for alcohol separation. Results using this methodology indicate that the alcohol percentage obtained from the samples was satisfactory, ranging from 23 to 34% when compared to data obtained from the literature. |
