The production of bio-ethanol from oil palm empty fruit bunch by acid hydrolysis and fermentation process / Husein Abdul Gani
Bio-ethanol can be produced from cellulose and hemicelluloses that originate from many sources of biomass. Oil palm empty fruit bunch is one of biomass that has potential to be a source of glucose which later can be a raw material for the production of bio-ethanol. Acid hydrolysis and fermentation p...
