Bioconversion of tapioca (Manihot esculenta) 97101270 waste and wafer hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)-influence of various physico-chemical factors Abraham, M. and Kurup, G. M. J. Fernlent. Bioerlg., 1990, X2. (3). 259263. This article discusses how the bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials to fermentable sugars and liquid fuels is now being given serious consideration. The work reports various physical and chemical pretreatments carried out on tapioca waste and water hyacinth aimed at maximizing the saccharification rate of these cellulosic wastes. ‘The study focusses on whether the reducing sugar content of saccharified tapioca waste and water hyacinth hydrolyzate can be used as a carbohydrate raw material for the production of alcohol. The influence of various factors on the growth and ethanol production of Saccharom~c~.r cerc~+siaecells was also investigated.

This paper explains how fluidized-bed gasification of biomass was developed by ATEKO through using long-term experience with coal gasification. An experimental unit was built and a number of tests, initially with sawdust gasification, were carried out. A mathematical model for gasification based on chemical equililibria was prepared and tested on wood waste. A gas combustion engine combined with a power generator was installed and operated in power production.
