PRODUCTION OF BIOETHANOL FROM INDIGENOUS ARTEMISIA BIOMASS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper analyzes the potential of Artemisia biomass, widely distributed in the arid regions of Uzbekistan, for bioethanol production based on a review of the scientific literature. The main technological stages of bioethanol production and the effects of hydrolysis and fermentation on bioethanol yield were evaluated. A systematic literature review, comparative analysis, and synthesis methods were employed. The results showed that the cellulose and hemicellulose fractions of Artemisia biomass are important carbohydrate sources for bioethanol production. Fermentation temperature was found to have a significant effect on bioethanol yield, with 30 °C identified as the optimum temperature. In addition, the Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation (SHF) process was shown to have the potential to improve process efficiency. The findings indicate that Artemisia biomass is a promising indigenous lignocellulosic feedstock for future bioethanol production. Further research should focus on optimizing pretreatment, hydrolysis, and fermentation conditions, as well as evaluating the techno-economic feasibility of the process.
