RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS After careful analysis of data collected from the bioethanol in talahib that have been tested, the researchers were able to generate the following tables that will answer the research questions. The results of the study were presented in a tabular form which showed how the data presented.
Physical Properties
Table 1: Differences of BIT and Commercial Ethanol in Density and Smoke Emission
Properties BIT
(MEAN) Ethanol
(MEAN)
Density 300 kg/m^3 354.64 kg/m^3
Smoke Emission Clear Clear
In table 1, the researchers compared the physical properties such as the density and smoke emission of BIT and commercial ethanol. The density of BIT which was the 300 kg/m^3 was obtained by using the formula of mass over …show more content…
In this way, the purpose of the pre - treatment is the departure of lignin and hemicellulose, the diminishment of crystalline cellulose and the development in the porosity of the materials. In addition, the pre - treatment should upgrade the improvement of sugars or the ability to shape them in the midst of the succeeding enzymatic hydrolysis and avoid the game plan of inhibitors for coming about hydrolysis and maturing strategies. For the pre - treatment of lignocellulosic, a couple of physical, physical– compound, substance and natural techniques have been proposed and created (Sun and Cheng, …show more content…
Nonetheless, in order to produce ethanol from talahib, the talahib must undergo pre-treatment to remove the lignin content. Kans grass or talahib grass compose of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. (Juhászet al., 2005; Nowak et al., 2005). Kans grass is a lignocellulosic material that was considered to be the most important source of biofuel. (Olivia et al., 2005; Sassiner et al., 2005). In this study the talahib grass had undergone NaOH pre-treatment to remove the lignin that hindered the researchers to get the extract of the grass, a study shows that NaOH pre-treatment can totally remove the lignin and with that, the pre-treated material is an essential thing in enzymatic hydrolysis in order to reduce sugar formation. The crude enzyme used in laboratory conditions, as it is known to be the best source of extra cellulose (Sprey,
