Question

Albizzia falcataria, a species of plywood, aften an initial thermochemical hydrolysis yielded 25% maltose, 3% sucrose, 12% cellbiose, 43% oligosaccharides and 17% non carbohydrate residue. The resulting hydrolase is passed throuh a column of imobilized enzyme system so that all types of dissacharides are converted further to hexose units. In alcohol fermentation, the rule of thumb is 10% of the substarate is converted to biomass and 90% to alcohol. What mass of ethanol is expected to be produced per six day week if one metric ton of pulpwood is processed daily?

Answer: 1162.00 kilograms

Explanation / Answer

Here we will convert the metric tonnes to tonnes,

1 METRIC TON = 1.10 TON,

now we will convert 1.1023 tonnes = how many kgs,

1 ton= 1000 kg,

there fore 1.1023 ton =1102.3 kgs,

now we can convert kgs to gms as,

1102.3 kgs*1000= 1102300 gms

here 1102.3 kgs is a daily feed for processing or (1102300 gms ),

1102.3*10=11023/100=110.23 biomass production daily,

1102.3*90=99207/100=992.07 kgs alcohol production daily

for six days total feed= 1102.3*6= 6613.8 kgs ,

from that only 10 % is converted to biomass and 90 % to ethanol,

means 6613.8*10=66138/100= 661.38 kgs biomass production for six days.

and 6613.8*90=595242/100= 5952.42 kgs production of alcohol for six days
