Recycling of waste food to produce ethanol

2009-11-11View Original

Thread Content

I recently saw a report online: According to Kyodo News, Kitakyushu City in southern Japan has started collecting organic waste recently.   As raw material for producing bioethanol fuel, all citizens who provide organic waste will receive an \"Environmental Protection Card\" issued by Kitakyushu City, which records the points earned by those citizens based on the amount of organic waste they provide. When the points on the \"environmental protection passport\" reach a certain amount, the holder can use those points to exchange for everyday items such as garbage bags at no cost.   Organic waste, also known as wet waste, is waste that decomposes easily under natural conditions, such as skin, vegetable peels, and leftover food.   Kitakyushu City will also collect organic waste from department stores and supermarkets, gather it together, and send it to a processing facility located in the Wakamatsu district of the city. There, organic waste is processed through fermentation, distillation, and other methods to ultimately be converted into bioethanol fuel.   Japan has attempted to use crops such as sugarcane to produce bioethanol fuel, and this is the first time that organic waste has been used as a raw material for producing bioethanol. See http://hi.baidu.com/daikuai/blog/item/cc9d111b74d2ebd1ad6e75cb.html. Personally, I believe that recycling leftover food to produce ethanol is an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient approach; moreover, the raw materials are readily available, making it a renewable energy source with great potential for development. Dear Sea Knights, if anyone has information on this topic, please let me know!

It seems our ancestors already told us about this! For example, how to make rice wine!

Can’t anyone provide any information on this? I’d like to know the specific recycling process

It seems that some institutions in China have developed devices for producing this low yield in reverse; I have the relevant information, but it’s not in electronic form

It’s a good method for energy conservation and environmental protection; on the other hand, it seems to involve quite a lot of waste.

Generally, it is sold directly to rural areas for use in feeding pigs – a simple and straightforward process.

Could you give some specific details you know? Thank you! Our research group is very interested in this area, but we currently don’t have any relevant materials. 4# 21067758
