Abstract

Applied pressure effect on structural integrity e.g. (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) content of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was studied. Combined physical and chemical pretreatment using pressure and highly concentrated alkaline hydrogen peroxide on SCB was adopted for enhanced bioethanol production. Fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) and Bacillus subtilis (BS) was used to compare alcohol production. The maximum ethanol yield obtained was 0.7 (g/g) in 72 h.
