SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the conversion of potato waste, specifically peels, into bio-ethanol through a chemical process. The mechanical engineering student seeks detailed research on the steps involved in this conversion, emphasizing the need for clarity on the chemical processes and the role of cellulosic wastes. Participants suggest starting with online resources that outline the process step-by-step, indicating that initial research is crucial before seeking further assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Chemical processes involved in bio-ethanol production
  • Understanding of cellulosic waste conversion
  • Basic mechanical engineering principles related to automated machinery
  • Familiarity with biofuel production methods
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the chemical process of fermentation in bio-ethanol production
  • Study the methods for converting cellulosic waste into fermentable sugars
  • Explore existing technologies for automated bio-ethanol production
  • Learn about the environmental impacts and benefits of biofuel from agricultural waste
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineering students, chemical engineers, and anyone interested in renewable energy solutions, particularly those focusing on biofuel production from agricultural waste.

hello all,
I'm a mechanical engineering student
my graduation project is an automatic machine to make the following
"converting Potato waste (peel) to bio-ethanol"
i need a detailed research about the chemical process until getting ethanol
waiting for your help guys , I'm not good chemist so i need the full description.
it will be very helpful if it included any thing about cellulosic wastes.
-its not a homework question...i just want to build that machine but its very
related to chemistry that's why i need help
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org


So what exactly is your question? Are you just looking for people to do your research for you? There's a lot of websites out there that cover the process step by step. I think that would be the best place to start.
 


I'm not asking for anyone to do my research...
to make it easier
i want the headlines or steps in a few sentences to start reading
its pretty hard to search in general topic specially when its related
to a different science that you don't know , just show me the door
and i will do my part.
 


Generally with a question like this it is best to show some initial research first, this isn't a place for people to do your googling for you.

Click on that link, read, come back when you have specific questions.
 


Thank you for you effort... :)
taking your advice into my consideration
