Pretreatment of Sweet Sorghum Bagasse for Ethanol Production Using Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> Obtained by NaOH Absorption of CO<sub>2</sub> Generated in Sweet Sorghum Juice Ethanol Fermentation

Pretreatment of Sweet Sorghum Bagasse for Ethanol Production Using Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> Obtained by NaOH Absorption of CO<sub>2</sub> Generated in Sweet Sorghum Juice Ethanol Fermentation

(1) Background: Commercial production of fuel ethanol currently uses sugarcane and corn as feedstocks. Attempts to develop other renewable feedstocks that are more abundant have led to lignocellulosic biomass, which requires pretreatment prior to enzymatic hydrolysis to generate fermentable sugars....
