Abstract

This study evaluated the feasibility of ethanol production from expired rice by surface immobilization technology fermentation. The process was carried out using temperature tolerant active fresh yeast TH-AADY cells immobilized on cotton fiber placed in a reticular hollow sphere. A 320-ton pilot reactor with a multi-layer packed bed immobilized structure and multi-branch circulation path was used instead of the typical cylindrical immobilized reactor. The average values of the alcohol degree and fermentation efficiency of the immobilized yeast cells were 12.46% (v/v) and 83.72%, respectively, which were 0.45% (v/v) and 3.2% higher than those of a free-cell fermentation. The fermentation was repeated for 32 batches with good reusability and long-term stability. In addition, fermentation via cell immobilization created an extra benefit of 6.37% per ton of fuel alcohol based on the mean market price in China. The results obtained in this study indicate that ethanol production from expired rice using immobilized yeast in the new bioreactor is feasible and may meet the demands of industrial production based on the fermentation indexes and economic evaluation.
