Now the bioethanol is a dominant biofuel and the demand for the bioethanol continues to increase steadily for several decades [1]. To overcome the shortage of raw material, the technology developments for bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass have been carried out intensively. Since the collection cost of the wood biomass is too high in Korea,...

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant and bio-renewable resource with great potential for sustainable production of chemicals and fuels. The conversion of biomass to biofuels begins with biomass pre-treatment to remove or weaken the tight linkages among cell wall components, making biomass easier to separate. The process of biomass separation is one of the... 

Enzymes can convert lignocellulosic biomass into a suitable fermentation feed-stock for biofuel production. Different yeast strains are used for ethanol production, such as S. diastaticus, Candida sp., S. cerevisiae and K. marxianus, as well as different bacteria such as Zymomonas mobilis. The employment of distillation is desirable for food grade purity of applications other than that of biofuel. In fact, batch fermentation was coupled with a membrane distillation process developed with the application of a membrane distillation bioreactor for ethanol production. Meanwhile,...
