    Optimización de la reacción de hidrólisis ácida de los residuos de la planta de banano, para mayor rendimiento a glucosa
    (2016) Abril González, Mónica Fernanda; Zalamea Piedra, Teresa Silvana
    The depletion of the not renewable raw materials, as well as the increasing environmental conscience, has generated the need in the countries to increase his energetic counterfoil, stimulating the investigation towards the production of biocommbustibles of the second generation, that they allow the utilization of the lignocellulosic residual material, being this the intention of the Project Production of Hydrogen from the Biomass Proceeding from the Residues of the Plant of Banana by means of Catalytic Gasification in Supercritical Water, inside which the present work places. The reaction of hydrolysis that will drive us to reach the raised aim was effected by each of the parts of the plant, using dilutions of sulphuric acid in concentrations of 3, 6 and 10 % v/v, with times of reaction of 15, 30 and 60 min, temperatures of 60 and 93°C. The results obtained of this reaction, they were analyzed by means of the reading of the degrees Brix as measure of reference of the soluble sugars in the liquid. Analysis Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) to determine the quantity of carbon dissolvedand by means of High-performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to identify and to quantify the present sugar. The best quantity of glucose was in the pseudo stem, when the sulfuric acid hydrolysis process was used diluted varying its concentration, temperature and reaction time.
