Sweet sorghum processing for alcohol production

Conference · · ASAE Tech. Pap.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6336188
Several processing techniques for producing ethanol from sweet sorghum were investigated. Fermentating chopped stalks yielded more ethanol than shredded sorghum or juice. Leaf removal prior to fermentation resulted in higher yields per unit feedstock. Removal of solids after fermentation yielded slightly more ethanol than solids removal before fermentation.
