Effect of the detoxication on the efficiency of butanol fermentation of wheat straw
Wheat straw was thermohydrolyzed in alk. soln., detoxicated with activated C to remove acids and phenols and fermented to bio-BuOH by using Clostridium acetobutylicum bacteria. The detoxication resulted in an increase in sugar conversion from 1.48 g/(L.h) up to 1.78 g/(L.h).
