Statistical optimization of process conditions for direct bioconversion of sewage treatment plant sludge for bioethanol production

The production of bioethanol was conducted by utilizing domestic wastewater sludge as major substrate with the aid of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae using liquid state bioconversion method (submerged fermentation). The optimi-zation of process conditions such as temperature, initial pH, inoculum do...
