Lignocellulosic Bioethanol Production From Banana Pseudostem

This document describes a study conducted at Laguna State Polytechnic University College of Engineering on producing lignocellulosic bioethanol from banana pseudostems. The study involved soaking banana pseudostems in sulfuric acid, fermenting the biomass for a week to separate liquid from solids, and then distilling the liquid at 78°C to separate waste from ethanol. The document provides background and a physical description of the prototype used in the study.

• 5. Once the liquid was separated, it went to
the distillation unit where the liquid produced
was heated up to 78 °C to separate the waste
liquid from the ethanol.
