Abstract

The current study aimed to produce small-scale bioethanol from poultry excreta using traditional anerobic fermentation process. The predicted yield of the bioethanol was 1.47–2.16 gm/kg of commercial layer poultry excreta with a purity of 95.44%. According to gas chromatography (GC) study, the retention period for poultry excreta generated bioethanol was 3.738 min when compared to absolute ethanol. The signal peaks of the generated bioethanol were identified by 1HNMR analysis as ethyl alcohol consisting of CH3, OH, and CH2 groups. As a result, this study shows the prospect of producing bioethanol-based fuels from poultry excreta.
