Abstract:Yellow birch barks is one of the abundant species in Quebec with harvest surplus in several regions. Biofuels or biochemicals such as biobutanol can be produced using the surplus feedstock, however challenges such as the cost of pretreatment, production of unwanted by-products in the fermentation process, and the efficient recovery of solvents must be addressed to make it feasible. The objectives of this study are to establish the optimal conditions to produce biobutanol from Eastern Canadian yellow birch; to … Show more
