Obtención de bioetanol a partir de la fermentación del lixiviado generado de los residuos urbanos orgánicos provenientes del mercado municipal El Arenal del cantón Cuenca

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to determine the optimal conditions and the quality of bioethanol obtained from the organic fraction of urban waste. Two types of hydrolysis were used: Enzymatic and Chemical. The fermentation was carried out with the help of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast through the dextrose agar culture, taking into consideration fundamental factors such as temperature 30 and 35 ºC and pH between 4.0 and 4.7. Therefore, the distillation volume of each sample is measured to know the amount of it with precision, then it will be analyzed by pycnometry to know its density and alcoholic degree applied to the Ecuadorian INEN 360 Regulation through tables described by the reflectometry team.
