THIRD GENERATION BIOTEHANOL PRODUCTION

Abstract
The algal biomass offers great potential as a sustainable feedstock which can be processed for the third generation bioethanol production, due to its many advantages: rapid growth rate, the ability to accumulate important amounts of carbohydrates, all the materials produced are nontoxic and biodegradable. However, in order to produce high concentrations of ethanol, it is necessary to convert all specific carbohydrate components of microalgae: glucan, sulphated polysaccharides, mannitol, alginate, agar, and carrageenan. This paper describes different types of algae and presents the main steps for the technology employed in the production of third generation bioethanol.

Simple and Rapid Spectrophotometric Method for Phenol Determination in Aqueous Media
Simple and selective determination of phenol from aqueous media was spectrophotometrically examined using ferric chloride as colour reagent. The reaction between phenol and FeCl3 occurs rapidly (1-2 min), without to be n...
Changes in Soil pH Due to The Use of Chemical Fertilizers
Although soil is commonly referred to as “fertile substrate”, not all soils are favorable for crop cultivation. Soils ideal for agriculture are balanced in terms of mineral, organic, air and water. Each of these factors...
Pb(II) Removal from Aqueous Solutions by Using Wastes of Pinus Strobus Bark
The influence of significant operational parameters on the Pb(II) sorption process by Romanian Pinus strobus has been studied in batch conditions. The uptake of Pb(II) from solutions with different initial concentrations...
