BioPro Expo & Marketplace / Atlanta, GA / March 14-16, 2011
UV-Vis Absorbance Changed During De-toxification Test
Overliming: Pre-hydrolysate III was added CaO to pH=10.0 , 25 °C or 60 °C for half hour, centrifuge, then adjust supernatant pH to 5.0 by adding 70% sulfuric acid.

5. Increasing the ethanol concentration
a. concentrated pre-hydrolysate
BioPro Expo & Marketplace / Atlanta, GA / March 14-16, 2011

Kraft Paper Mill Sludges as a Feedstock
• 4.1 to 5 million tons sludge per year in U.S.- Incineration (greenhouse gas emission, low energy efficiency)- Landfill (greenhouse gas emission, limited land availability)
• Low/ Negative Cost ( 0 to 50$ per ton disposal cost)
• High Carbohydrate and Low Lignin Content (Kraft pulping process removes most of lignin and hemicellulose)
• Easily Digested by Cellulase (No need for expensive pretreatment)

with paper sludge

Conclusion
• Combining pre-hydrolysate with sludge can more than double ethanol production
• Hemicellulose pre-hydrolysate can be converted to ethanol through de-toxification, enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation processes.
• The fermentation of concentrated pre-hydrolysate can increase the ethanol concentration.
• The fermentation performance of the mixture of pre-hydrolysate with sludges has high efficiency and more practical. 20
