Hey guys,
I'm struggling a little bit with the research surrounding the 'processes involved in the industrial production of Ethanol from Sugarcane'. I have the basis of a flow chart outline the various steps, but at points I'm not sure whether the information is relevant or what the step in the process involves. So anyone who has completed this dotpoint etc. who wants to give out any help, would be greatly appreciated. Im thinking, currently that the most important steps in the process would be; the extraction of cellulose/sugars--> Hydrolosis of these sugars into glucose (by the way, is this step the 'concentration of juice?')--> filtering-->fermentation of yeast cultures within the sugars in anearobic conditions--> distillation to increase the concentration of ethanol produced?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
