Abstract
  • Renewable energy would become more topical as natural energy resources are depleted. Alsoa major global issue is the extent of solid waste generation of which biowaste is the maincomponent and development of its bio-energy potential can address issues such as renewableenergy and environmental pollution, simultaneously. Used paper is a primary component ofbiowaste with cellulose its dominant structural biopolymer. Various used paper materials havebeen treated with a cellulose hydrolyzing enzyme from Penicillium funiculosum to bioconverttheir cellulose component into sugars such as glucose that could be utilized as feedstock for thesynthesis of biodegradable products such as bio-ethanol. These paper materials exhibitednonsimilar susceptibilities toward this cellulase enzyme and consequently different sugar releasingand bioconversion efficiency patterns were obtained when changing quantities of each paper weretreated with a fixed amount of enzyme. When a fixed amount of each paper material was treatedwith increasing enzyme concentrations, different bioconversion and efficiency profiles were alsoconstructed for each paper material biodegraded.
