Algae liquefaction
(North-West University, 2012)The liquefaction of algae for the recovery of bio–oil was studied. Algae oil is a non–edible feedstock and has minimal impact on food security and food prices; furthermore, it has been identified as a favourable feedstock ... -
Novel biochemical and catalytic microwave-assisted methods for the synthesis of biobutanol
(North-West University (South-Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)Biofuels such as bio-ethanol, bio-butanol and biodiesel are attractive fuel substitutes to negate the negative effects of fossil fuel use. Bio-butanol, in particular, is of interest because of its properties, such as; low ... -
Optimization of maize starch fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae using pervaporation
(North-West University, 2010)Due to the depletion of petroleum reserves and environmental concerns, bioethanol has been identified as an alternative fuel to petrol. Bioethanol is a fuel of bio-origin derived from renewable biomass. Starch and sugar ... -
Production of value added products from biodiesel-derived crude glycerine
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The increasing growth of the biodiesel industry has resulted in the increase of crude glycerine generated as a by-product. Typically, for every 100 kg of biodiesel produced, 5-10 kg of crude glycerine is produced. The ... -
Ultrasonic-assisted lignocellulose pretreatment of amaranth stem for bioethanol production
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The depletion of fossil fuels, increasing energy demands in the world, and the effects associated with global warming has led to a search for alternative energy forms that are renewable such as bioethanol. Bioethanol ...
