Abstract:BACKGROUNDBioethanol is considered a highly promising alternative to fossil fuels due to its derivation from renewable sources. Reducing the disadvantages of conventional fermentation requires removing the product from the fermentation broth after its formation. Therefore, coupling the membrane separation with a biological process in a single unit leads a reduction of substrate and product inhibitions.RESULTSIn this work, bioethanol production was investigated in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) with sugarcane baga… Show more
