Produção de etanol a partir de resíduos da alga nori

Abstract

With the technologic development and the changing of the life standards from the population the amount of solid residues increases each day more, considering the growing of the amount of oriental restaurants in Brazil it’s indispensable that another destiny has been given due the great amount of residues generated, seeking the reuse of those residues and the rise of the biofuels in this era, besides its viability, this work had as primal goal use the fermentation and hydrolysis techniques to produce a ethanol with the residues from the nori seaweed came from oriental restaurants, creating then a sustainable biofuel and reusing the generated residues. With the gas chromatography method it was possible to characterize and quantify the yield of this ethanol. As a result of this work it was possible to produce and quantify this ethanol.
