Caracterización fisicoquímica de varios residuos agroindustriales y sus mezclas para la producción de biocombustibles

Abstract

The lignocelluloses biomass is use in the production of second generation bioethanol. It is one of the best sources of alternative energy which is expected to be a good alternative to reduce dependence on fossil fuels which come from non-renewable sources and are a major cause of environmental pollution that exists today. Lignocelluloses materials such as sugarcane bagasse and coffee husks are being used for the production of second-generation ethanol, which can give an environmentally sustainable use to organic waste generated in our country. This research carried out a physicochemical characterization of sugarcane bagasse, coffee husk and its mixtures (90:10, 70:30, 50:50, sugarcane bagasse:coffe husk). The results were, cellulose for sugarcane bagasse: 22,68%; coffee husk: 20,20%; 50:50 mixture: 23,54%; 70:30 mixture: 25,55%; mixture 90:10: 21,91%; with those percentage it was determinate liters (theoretical) per tons of the lignocellulosic biomass, for sugarcane bagasse: 162,52 L; coffee husk: 144,75 L; 50:50 mixture: 168,68 L; mixture 70:30: 186,09 L; mixture 90:10: 157 L.
