Abstract:This study was conducted to identify and quantify hydrocarbons produced during bio-fuel production using kitchen waste (KW). KW is a complex mixture of hardly digestible compounds, mainly lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose, and easily digestible compounds, mostly starchy materials. Therefore, KW has a high potential for the production of biofuel after the chemical hydrolysis of lignocellulose, starch and carbohydrates. In this study, after the physically pretreatment (dried and crushed) of KW, dilute-acid hyd… Show more
