Abstract :

Bioethanol production from lignocelluloses is one of the emerging topics worldwide due to limited sources of fossil fuel and associated environmental problems like global warming and climate change. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) with 10% lignin and 65% holocellulose content , is a fast growing aquatic plant exists all over the world. It is a low cost, renewable and a potential source of lignocellulosic feed stock for bioethanol production. In the present work, acid saccharification carried out at optimum condition of temperature (120˚C), acid concentration (2% v/v), biomass loading (1:10 w/v) and time (60 min) yielded 280±11.2 mg/g of total sugars. Further, enzymatic saccharification of remaining substrate under optimum conditions of temperature 50˚C, 150 rpm, biomass loading (1: 5), surfactant concentration (Triton) 0.1% and enzyme accelerase 1500 yielded 340±13.8 mg/g of total sugars. The combined hydrolysis (acid and enzyme) of water hyacinth under optimized conditions resulted in 95.4% of hydrolysis.
