a-- The main objective was to establish a complete process for ethanol production from micro algae spinulina. the production of ethanol from spirulina was still being a completely unknown chapter. The low carbohydrate content of spirulina makes it difficult and to go for ethanol from spirulina. Although some government research is planning to go through for this work at near future but we have wanted to establish the definite process that can be usable in future.
b-- Process standardization was the secondary object of ours. Though after finding out the production process of ethanol from micro algae it is difficult to standardize the process due to time and lab facility limitation we have accepted the challenge. For the process standardization dry time variation of algae, acid hydrolysis variation, acid concentration variation, fermentation time variation with samples is planned. To find out an optimum position of ethanol product from our established process is the summarized secondary objective of this thesis work.
