Abstract

Biomass residues and industrial waste are of great interest for their potential to produce a wide range of bioenergy and value-added products. Crude glycerol can be valorized into value added products by several microorganisms through microbial fermentation. Thus, Significant efforts have been made to develop biological methods to convert crude glycerol into various valuable chemicals and fuels, including 1, 3-propanediol, hydrogen and ethanol.
In this context, our work have use glycerol medium as source of carbon for investigate bioethanol and 1, 3-propandiol production, using a microbial consortium. All experiments was carried out in sealed bottles, the reaction medium is placed in the shaker incubator at 37°C with stirring at 130 rpm. . Nitrogen gas was injected to create anaerobic conditions. The highest concentration of ethanol and 1,3 – propanediol obtained were 3.47 (g/l) and 4.8 mg/l respectively . These results highlight promising avenues for the valorization of biomass residues and industrial wastes in sustainable bioenergy production.
