Alcohol production from pyrolytic sugars obtained from selective fast pyrolysis of pretreated wood

摘要

1. Cell density is not directly correlated with ethanol Yield 2. Neutralization ot the hydroiyzate helps removing inhibitory compounds 3. Removing left over soluble phenolics via ethyl acetate extraction increases the fermentability of the extract to 100% 4. Assay indicates to be a potential process to assess Pyrolysis oil fermentability 5. Scale up 6. Moving towards other fuels production, like butanol.
